Collections by Michelle Brown WSG Annamaria Salley Owner of the Black Lotus Spa

Annamaria Salley had a vision in which she saw herself massaging someone in her backyard underneath a cabana with flowing white sheets. The massage table was covered in white sheets. She was wearing all white. She woke up and thought what was that all about. She got up and went to work going about her regular routine. But the dream haunted her.

She had worked as a graphic designer in Manhattan for a publisher and received her master’s degree in that field after moving to Florida. Even a year with back-to-back hurricanes didn’t discourage Annamaria from making her home in Florida. This native New Yorker had come to love the area and warmer temperature while visiting her mother who had moved to Miami.

With the support of other women, especially her mother, that encouraged her to follow her dream and take the leap from graphic design jobs to opening her own massage business she found a school, completed the training, and opened The Black Lotus Spa.

Annamaria has an amazing tribe of women who support, keep her encouraged, make sure she takes time for self-care and have helped her grow her business despite the pandemic.

Known for having “the hands of an angel” by her clients, she provides a transformational health and wellness experience to all who come through the doors of her spa.
