AMANDA HAGSTEN, Licensed Massage Therapist!
Amanda’s journey to becoming a massage therapist is as unique and soulful as the treatments she provides. Her passion began with a deep fascination for plants, herbs, and natural medicine, leading her to earn her bachelor’s degree from the University of Minnesota. After volunteering in traditional healthcare settings, she knew the conventional medical world wasn’t where her spirit belonged—her calling was something more connected, more intuitive, more healing.
That calling led her to the Saint Croix Center for Healing Arts, where she trained in a program that blended Western medical foundations with whole-body, mind, and spirit healing. This fusion is at the heart of everything Amanda offers grounded knowledge, intuitive connection, and treatments that go far beyond relaxation.
And now… her signature massage experiences are available at The Loft Medspa & Laser.
