Testimonials

Mr. and Mrs. Vaughn

We had the most amazing experience with Kelsey and James from Traveling Couples Retreat during our anniversary weekend in Broken Bow! They came right to our cabin this morning for a 90-minute couples massage, and it was absolutely incredible.

They were both so kind, friendly, and knowledgeable — truly such a blessing to meet. Their setup was amazing too — the massage tables even had full heating pads, which made the experience that much more relaxing and cozy.

James worked on my husband, Eric, and was fantastic! He has extensive training in sports massage and really helped relieve Eric’s lower-back pain (he’s an ex-college football player, so that’s no small feat!). Kelsey worked on me and did cranial sacrum work that was phenomenal — I didn’t want it to end.

The 90 minutes flew by, and we both said afterward that we couldn’t believe how quickly it went. It was the perfect way to relax and reconnect on our trip. We can’t recommend them enough — truly one of the highlights of our anniversary getaway! 💆‍♀️💆‍♂️

Traveling Couples Retreat:
Our Story

​​​

Traveling Couples Retreat

is a small, family and veteran-run business,

founded by a husband-and-wife massage therapist team.

We, James and Kelsey,

are seasoned professionals with 18+ years

of combined experience in massage therapy.

​​​​​

We both received our initial training

and massage licenses in 2015/2016

We both attended Arizona School of Massage Therapy

Tempe Campus (Which is where + how we met...) 

In 2021, we married and moved to Arkansas, to be closer to James's family and embrace a homesteading lifestyle. 

We started our own company to work together as a team providing massages to couples and groups, as well as traveling to special events, and offering corporate packages.

​​​

Our service area includes Polk County Arkansas

and all bordering counties
(Scott, and Sevier County Arkansas)

+ (McCurtain, Le Flore County Oklahoma)

​​​​​​

Our approach is simple: We bring the spa experience to you, allowing you to choose the therapist that best suits your preferences. This unique model not only lets us serve our clients together but also helps us spend meaningful time as a family. We are grateful to our support team, especially our childcare providers, who make it possible for us to pursue our passion for wellness while maintaining a balanced family life.​
