I provide a quiet, relaxing atmosphere that is not rushed for people to get a massage. My 60, 90 & 120min massage are for the full time and not full of short-cuts like most places. I provide upscale, clean and professional services with advanced schooling techniques and many modalities to choose from. I believe that everyone deserves a caring and nurturing touch as well as a peaceful place to heal

Site of a crucial Civil War battle offers a modern visitor center and a number of hiking trails on its grounds.
In 30 to 45 minutes - depending on the route you take - you can make it to the top of Kennesaw Mountain. From there enjoy views of the entire city, including Stone Mountain. Although Stone Mountain always provides breathtaking views, what's better about Kennesaw Mountain is A the variety of trails B the lack of Confederate Flags and C the fact you can bring your dogs along to enjoy the hike. This is true wilderness hiking so make sure you bring a water bottle for yourself and a water bowl for your puppy. You can climb quite challenging steep paths or take the easier route by walking up the paved road from the Visitor's Center. However you get there be sure to take lots of photos at the top.

Southern Museum of Civil War and Locomotive History As a prestigious Smithsonian Affiliations member, the Museum provides visitors with a unique perspective on the strategic and economic use of railroads during and after the Civil War. The Museum, conveniently located near downtown Kennesaw, Georgia is home to the General locomotive, made famous during the Great Locomotive Chase of 1862, an impressive Civil War collection, and the Glover Machine Works, a restored early 20th-century belt-driven locomotive assembly line. The Jolley Education Center offers numerous hands-on and interactive exhibits that are fun for the entire family, and the Cobb Energy Gallery features traveling exhibits from the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service (SITES), as well as other sources! The Southern Museum’s educational programs reinforce classroom learning by connecting historical information with actual artifacts.
This museum was very well thought out. The curator made it interactive, so the self guided tour was very interesting at all times. Following the railroad tracks you could read about and saw how the train was a very large part of the civil war. A large portion was dedicated to the history of the Glover family. The museum added in the the story of the Great Locomotive Race since Kennesaw was where the heist began. They added a few civil war artifacts to round out the collection. An immense children’s room would delight any child. If you start early you can combine the mountain and the museum. We did not allow ourselves enough time to do both.
