Wellness Center Treatment Rooms, partially furnished

We have an exciting opportunity for holistic-minded entrepreneurs to join a wellness community in the Bellevue neighborhood of Richmond, VA at 4025 MacArthur Ave. We are open to including full-time or part-time tenants of the spaces as well as individuals who are wellness practitioners seeking employment opportunities vs space renting.

 
About Us 
 
Buffalo Firefly Wellness is an LGBTQ, feminist-led team on a mission to support everyone in living a healthy, purposeful life. Mary-Lynne Williams founded the company in 2019 after leaving a 23-year career as a design director in the tech industry at companies like Microsoft, Facebook and Zillow. Mary-Lynne is the owner and curator of the spaces and we welcome other practitioners who align well with our mission and values. The mission of Buffalo Firefly is to help people find their own voice in the midst of a world that demands they be something else — to help them slow down and be in the present moment. Buffalo represents the earth element and grounding. Firefly represents brightness, energy and delight. Buffalo Firefly offers energy healing modalities such as Meditation classes, Reiki and more. The associated retail shop offers high quality healing crystals, crystal alchemy singing bowls, books, tarot decks, aromatherapy and organic, non-toxic body products. Buffalo Firefly serves a community from beyond Richmond. We also host a number of licensed, well-established wellness practitioners such as massage therapists, reiki practitioners, acupuncturists, and a yoga studio. The space is serene, but active. In 2022, we had the honor of launching a new mural on the side of our building painted by Richmond local Nico Cathcart of a local black trans activist named Aurora Higgs.
 
We especially welcome clients, practitioners and employees who are queer, trans, non-binary, people of color, disabled, parents, are/have been system impacted, are immigrants, and anyone who has experienced systemic oppression or gender-based violence. You will find this space to be free of threatening or offensive acts of any nature that focus on an individual's race, ethnicity, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, immigration status, religion or disability.
 
We have 2 treatment spaces available. The rooms are newly renovated and partially furnished (details to be discussed with candidates). Each room is approximately 160 sq ft (roughly 17x9 feet). We are a wellness studio with well-established licensed practitioners, a yoga studio and meditation studio. The two available spaces would be perfect for a reiki or healing arts practitioner, shaman, astrologer, massage therapist, naturopath, acupuncturist, or someone looking for a place to see clients for their holistic wellness practice.
