Cozy new massage parlor opens in Robbinsdale

Heaven and Home Massage LLC will soon begin business at the cozy house-turned-office space at 3826 W. Broadway in Robbinsdale.

Sirius Nefertiti, business owner, applied for a permit through the city, which was approved on Nov. 4. A few weeks prior to the 3-0 vote from the City Council, the city's planning commission held a public hearing and recommended approval.

Staff shared that the business aligns with the comprehensive plan and does not threaten to deteriorate the neighborhood. There's no perceived risk of the spa causing odors, dust, flies, vermin, smoke, gas, noise or vibration, or impose hazards to life or property in the neighborhood.

Nefertiti asked the council if it had any questions or concerns. They did not.

“Massage is a great way for people to release and relax … thank you for bringing your skill set to our community,” Council Member Raymond Blackledge said.

Heaven and Home Massage LLC offers couples massage, prenatal massage, Swedish massage and deep tissue massage.

Nefertiti explained to the Sun Post that her business has been operating for the past eight years as a mobile massage parlor.

Growing up, Nefertiti said her mom would often ask her for massages, and although she offered them up somewhat begrudgingly, Nefertiti did see how much the massages helped her mom.

But she didn't consider it as a career initially.

“I worked at Target Corporate for a while,” she recalled. “I'm just not an office gal. I was happy, but not content. I had a friend that was in massage therapy and it kinda reignited my memory a little bit.”

Studying massage was a “complete career change,” but it was definitely the right choice.

“I just went to school for it and did it and I loved it and I have no regrets at all,” Nefertiti said.

She has a variety of clients who come for stress management, prenatal care and all types of spa treatments (though no sensual massages).

In addition to massage, Nefertiti is licensed as an esthetician, so she can do non-medical skincare treatments like facials.

Nefertiti said in addition to herself, she has about 12 contractors who work under her at the moment.

Something unique about Heaven and Home is that it offers mobile massages, meaning therapists will come right to clients -- anywhere in the metro area. They've gone as far as Ham Lake or White Bear.

The Robbinsdale brick-and-mortar location on West Broadway is a new chapter for the spa service. Nefertiti said they are still remodeling and decorating the office. They might add some services like a person who can do lashes.
