Mythology has stories of the great mother of all, the personification of mother earth herself, and her name is Gaia. It is a nickname given to Paula White by friends who know her best. Gaia’ s Touch is a fitting name for the business where she provides services as a Certified Massage Therapist, Reiki Master, Certified Nutritional Herbalist, and Intuitive Reader. She has been offering these alternative therapies to Brown County residents and those who visit the area since 1997.
Gaia’ s Touch has been at its present location for three years. The office with massage table has a sense of calm about it, and Paula says she wants it to be a space where clients can feel comfortable and safe. A general session is one hour, with other sessions offered being half an hour, 45 minutes, and one and a half hours. She comments that children benefit from this type of therapy, their bodies being very responsive to massage work.
