How Does Our Pricing Work?
Unfortunately due to insurance restrictions, many Minnesota massage therapists cannot bill health insurance, and we cannot accept insurance at the Oshun Center. You are welcome to pay for sessions with a Health Savings Account (HSA/FSA), but all costs are considered out of pocket. That said, we work hard to make them affordable for every body.
All sessions are available on a sliding scale, pay what you can basis. We do not turn anyone away. We also commit to providing a sustainable livelihood for our practitioners.
At full cost, our sessions are valued at $120 - $250 depending on the practitioner and session length, and your booking will show this full amount.
At the time of your session, you can choose to pay any amount from full cost, down to $85 per session. If $85 is unaffordable for you, please submit an application for the People’s Fund before you book to subsidize your session costs down to $5 if needed. We are actively fundraising to support access to integrative care for every body!
Please use the Green Bottle design by Alexis J. Cunningfolk to help you choose your payment.

Words from our Community
“For some reason, I’ve been able to help people break through these walls, these blockages, and… they just blossom and bloom. Massage is like the catalyst. It’s like the door that they can walk through because that’s valuable in this realm.”
— Aisha Abdul-Wadud - Devoted Healer, Massage Therapist, and Lover of Herbs
“Kara is the name given to me by my parents. As I explore it over the years, Ka-Ra or ‘energy of the sun’, feels like they gave me this ancient lineage that they had no idea they passed down, but I feel the energy and line of that coming through me.”
— Dr. Kara Parker, Family Medicine & Integrative Health Physician

Collective Medicine Stories
On June 20th 2021, the Oshun Center was born. We hosted our first event, a panel of community healers discussing Freedom and Protection, in honor of Historical Black American ancestors & Juneteenth. One year after the murder of Mr. George Floyd, we choose to focus on life and possibility in intercultural spaces, instead of commemorating death.
As healers, we see the next phase of racial healing being in honest talk and reflection across communities, and finding the personal lessons and "medicines" for our individual and collective freedom.
