Meet Our Therapists

Meet Cynthia

Hi, I’m Cynthia, wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother, and friend to many! Over the years, I’ve had a varied career as a Medical Technologist for twenty years, a writer with one published book and two in the works, and since 2004, as a Licensed Massage Therapist. I graduated from Palm Beach Academy of Health and Beauty in North Palm Beach Fl. My education includes, an AS in Medical Technology, BA in English Lit with a minor in Spanish and a diploma in Massage Therapy. I am certified in Craniosacral techniques. With my years of experience and education and continuing education, I can help you tailor your massage session to your unique needs or wants, whether that be a relaxing Swedish massage, Therapeutic massage, Deep Tissue massage or add in techniques to address painful areas and/or areas of dysfunction. Craniosacral Therapy can help with physical and emotional problems and other chronic issues. CST can be combined with massage when wanted or needed. Over the years, I’ve developed a good “ear” and am adept at listening to what you verbally tell me and what my touch “hears” from your body. I love what I do and look forward to meeting you. Together we can find what works best for you.

Meet Sonya Rose

Trained at Cumberland Institute of Holistic Therapies

Located inside the Rustic Retreat Day Spa at 4120 Thornton Taylor, Parkway, Suite B
Fayetteville, Tennessee 37334

My professional philosophy is that each person should be treated as a wondrous creation; each made for a special purpose. It is my job to help their bodies to be more equipped to fulfill their destiny.
In my lifetime I have seen many people broken down by life; physically, mentally, and spiritually. With each new day I feel a renewed calling to reach others in the community that are in pain and feel there is no hope of a better quality of life. I feel it is my purpose to meet people where they are, lift them up, and to help them physically, mentally and spiritually so they can in turn fulfill the purpose to which they are called.

I have live in the Middle Tennessee community for 16 years with my husband and three sons. We reside just outside of Fayetteville on a little plot of land that enables us to garden and enjoy the countryside that we call home. I was transplanted into these rolling hills of Tennessee shortly after I married my husband in 2002 and I could not imagine a life anywhere else. It will be an honor to serve my community; my friends.

Meet Alicia

Hello, my name is Alicia. I received my esthetician certification from Fayetteville Beauty School.

I was born and raised in Lincoln County, Tennessee and love our community. I am married to my loving and supportive husband and we have two daughters who we are raising in his childhood home in the Elora
community. I have worked as a receptionist in medical offices for the majority of my adult life and enjoy meeting and helping people from all walks of life. One of my greatest passions is building personalized and realistic at-home skincare regimens to compliment the work done in the treatment room.

Sonya is my go to massage therapist. Each visit I report my bad spots and she fixes me right up. The atmosphere of the Rustic Retreat is wonderfully relaxing. It’s a great experience getting a massage, or a facial at Rustic Retreat.

Each time I see Cynthia Foster at Rustic Retreat, it’s because I’m in pain, and medicine isn’t working to calm my tight muscles or nerve pain. She always helps take my pain away. Her calm demeanor, years of experience and overall knowledge of the body is amazing. I always leave feeling so much better than when I arrived. She provides a calming atmosphere for her client’s to have a relaxing experience. I highly recommend Cynthia or anyone who works for her. She offers very affordable rates for services.

Sonya is the best massage therapist I’ve ever been to. She knows the pressure points and muscles that need relief. If it wasn’t for her I would not be able to get up each day w motivation to get through

Sonya provides amazing massages and treatments. I have always had wonderful results with her services. During my last massage, she used cupping on an old injury from a car accident and it worked wonders! I’ll definitely be going back soon. I highly recommend Sonya Rose!

Sonya was fantastic. My left shoulder and neck hurt from holding my newborn and she got in and found the tight spots and helped release them. For getting specific areas addressed I definitely highly recommend.

Have you ever heard of healing hands? That’s exactly what you will feel through the hands of Cynthia. I came to her at such a dark time in my life and she has been a beautiful light in my life!! So much so that lots of my friends and family now go to her. You will not be disappointed, come book your session now with her. Much love to you Mrs. Cynthia and thank you for your healing touch.

I followed Cynthia to her new spa because I believe she is a talented and educated therapist. As a doctorally prepared nurse with more than 4 decades of experience, a former spa owner, and retired personal trainer and group exercise instructor, I am highly aware of the benefits and the need for self-care. I’ve found my therapist and encourage others to find their way to Cynthia at Rustic Retreat.

I went to Cynthia for craniosacral therapy and I don’t think I’ve ever had such a healing experience before in my life! My body and soul felt lighter afterwards. She is truly a miracle worker! The establishment was decorated beautifully and I couldn’t have asked for a more peaceful and friendly environment! I can’t wait to try the other services and therapist/esthetician.

Such a beautiful and peaceful environment to fully relax, destress and recharge! I’ve been struggling with stress and anxiety from my busy life and massage therapist Cynthia Foster has helped dissipate all of my symptoms! I can’t express my gratitude into words as I didn’t have many other options besides medication which I wanted to avoid. I’ve also had facial treatments done with Oona Ross which have transformed my skin. I work outside daily and my skin really needed some pampering. Rustic Retreat is a 10 out of 10 for me and I recommend to anyone and everyone. If you’re looking to be pampered and relax or if you’re looking to get help for pain, tense muscles or anxiety among other ailments Rustic Retreat should be Your Retreat!
