Koru Touch

I have regularly scheduled Esalen massage with Koru Touch, not as a luxury, but as a mainstay of my overall health. This is not to say that the experience is not luxurious in every way. The environment is impeccably clean and instantly calming. The extra wide table is especially comfortable and always warm. Greg prioritizes my needs and individualizes each massage to meet them. We sometimes explore related therapies for specific pain or injury such as sports therapy and somatic movements. These are particularly helpful to practice between sessions to promote healing and increase body/mind awareness. Greg combines his exceptional expertise in massage and other integrative techniques with a spiritual approach to give me the best possible therapeutic experience with every visit.

I have received hours of message and spiritual services from Gregory! I have always left feeling relaxed and rejuvenated. I feel as each session my energy is higher and I’m able to think and feel more aligned with my higher self! From the smells, sounds, and massage touch everything is a great experience.

I cannot experience how grateful I am to have found Gregory with Koru Touch. Thank you so much for the connection and the thoughtfulness for what I had in mind for my appointment. I appreciate all the detail. The body treatment was an absolute amazing service and a calming that came at just the right moment.

Greg and Ray were both amazing! Greg provided such an overwhelmingly positive experience. He exceeded any possible expectations for a massage and energy work. I walked in unsure of what to expect with a hopeful mind, and left feeling like an entirely different person. Even through our brief consultation he seemed entirely sure of what I needed even without me knowing for myself. He is a life changer. Ray is such a caring artist. He really took the time to listen and consider my hair health and natural style. It's taken me years to find someone to work with my curls and not just chop through them, but I've finally found him! Together they provided such a life changing day! Even their follow up was extremely caring. Their little pup was perfect too, so much positive loving energy in such an adorable package! I can't wait to meet their new puppy addition and return for what seems like a magically healing experience. Greg and Ray, you are magic 💜

Ray and Gregory are amazing practitioners of their craft. I have been going to Koru Touch for over 10 years and I am a devoted client and fan of the colorpuncture, massage, and hair services I've received as well as their amazing knowledge and guidance on clean skincare. They truly embody the concept of self care and provide a unique and amazing experience for their clients.

I had the pleasure of taking a sound healing class with Greg and Ray from Koru Touch in beautiful historic Fredericksburg, VA. It was an enchanted experience. The class began with a sound bath that was amazing. A large array of different instruments calmed us and prepared us with curiosity for what came next. We learned about the different instruments, then were taught to apply Tibetan Singing bowls to certain points on the body to heal with vibrational sound and energy. Both Greg and Ray are exceptional instructors and allow you to learn their two personal styles at once. They are a remarkable team. They take great pride and respect in their craft, and it shows. I look forward to attending more classes.

I recently attended a Sound Healing workshop taught by Greg and Ray. It was truly life changing! I am a spa owner. Myself and 2 of my employees attended the workshop together. We all had profound experiences both learning and receiving the teachings. We can’t wait to integrate what we’ve learned into our existing offerings, but also new treatments and stand alone sound healing experiences. I highly recommend this class!

Greg & Ray offer authentic holistic care to n All their services. From the serene garden to aromatics throughout their quaint spa. The level of service is superior to any place I’ve ever been from NY to FL. I always leave feeling balanced, serene, replenish in body, mind & spirit. They truly understand how to implement exquisite holistic products in an artistic/healing/professional way. along with their extensive knowledge in holistic realm is amazing! I am personally a graduate of a Holistic College in NY and have been a client for the past several years.

I had the most incredible Organic Holistic Facial with Gregory!! Not only did it feel amazing, he was very informative about the whole plant skincare products he was using on my face and why. He also used high caliber healing tools with integrative health techniques during my session which was such a nice touch. It’s the details for me. I left glowing from the inside out. It wasn’t just a facial, it was an experience. Can’t wait for my next session with him!

Koru Touch is a serene, beautiful gem of a spa in Winston-Salem that is locally owned and operated with every step designed to provide the utmost in quality and experience. My hair was pampered, colored and cut by Ray, and he transformed my tired hair into a shimmery bouncy do that makes me smile every time I look in the mirror. It is truly an artisanal experience to receive treatment at Koru Touch - and you will enjoy every minute!

I hosted Greg & Ray for a private sound healing class in Fredericksburg, Virginia and it was absolutely incredible.

We started class with a sound healing session conducted by both Greg & Ray so we could experience from a client perspective, it was so peaceful I drifted off into a deep rest.

They taught us about each instrument and how to apply them to a table top professional treatment for our own clients and also gave us invaluable resources to purchase our own tools for future sound healing sessions with clients.

Every detail from the tapestry’s, flower arrangement, crystals selected and instruments were thoughtfully presented in a way that made you feel like you were sitting in front of a delicious-sound-healing-feast as shown in the photo below.

Greg & Ray are incredible healers, nurturers and teachers and to know them and learn from them has sincerely been one of my favorite learning opportunities.

They care so deeply about every detail and making sure everyone feels welcome and cared for.

Truly, there are no two more beautiful hearts in the world.

I love the fact that I am given individual attention, no one pushing to be the next one seen, due to Ray's concern for scheduling. Next, my hair has never been healthier than it has been under his care. And last of all, I never have to give instructions on what to do to my hair because it always comes out beautifully. I am so pleased to have found such a talented person to trust my crowning glory with.

I recently experienced the Abundant Harvest facial. I had booked a massage, but when Greg saw the large, painful blemish on my face, he suggested a facial. The treatment was the best thing I have every done for my skin. Almost instantly I had a dramatic decrease in skin inflammation, and all the magic happened due to pure plant extracts and essences. The Laurel products Greg used did not strip my skin. They nourished and nurtured it without chemicals or additives. The facial was also extremely healing on a whole other level. Greg does an excellent job of making sure the entire treatment environment is tailored to heal not only skin and body but also the soul. I left with brighter skin, but I also left feeling revitalized for having stepped out of a hectic day and spent time caring for myself.

I have been with Gregg for a year and a half. During this time not only has Gregg taken care of me he has educated me on taking care of myself. He has taken the time to show me exercises and stretches to do at home to maintain and improve my low back. Gregg sets a standard that is hard to match. After my first visit all I could say was WOW.

Koru Touch offers so much more than bodywork, organic skin care and spa treatments. Gregory Cartwright offers a 5 star healing experience, a sacred ritual with the highest level of attention and expertise.
I appreciate the calming presence and positive energy that Greg offers to make his clients feel very cared for during the session. He also educates his clients about self care which is empowering, creating lasting benefits and results. A treatment with Greg is like a vacation and you don’t even have to get away. Look no further than this sacred space for a healing retreat with the finest products. Words can’t describe what an extraordinary experience it is to have a session with Greg. He offers world class service, years of experience and skill along with good vibes! He and his partner, Ray Pruett, have created something very special in Winston-Salem. If you’re a spa junkie like me, addicted to the best facials and massage treatments, I highly recommend Koru Touch.

Ray is attentive, skilled, calming, knowledgeable and kind. I always feel like I've been to a spa when I visit Koru Touch for my hair color and cut. I've been going to Koru Touch for several years and wouldn't dare go anywhere else.

I am new to chemical peels, and was a little nervous about the procedure and results. Greg was very knowledgeable throughout the entire process, taking time to explain each aspect of what he was doing as well as what to expect. The recovery was made much more manageable with Greg's suggestions and he even took the time to check on me each day. My skin already looks fresh and smooth. I recommend Greg to my friends and family constantly. He is amazing!!

Wow! What a gem! Greg brings years of professional experience and skill to his work. Combining the amazing Neal's Yard products with his expertise, he provides a facial unlike any I have ever received. My skin looked and felt fresher, hydrated, and relaxed. I love the purity of the products, and will continue to use them at home between regular sessions with Greg.

Greg provides top notch, high-quality services with impeccable products. With a wide range of spa services to choose from; he's sure to offer what you are looking for and even those things you didn't even realize you needed! His sugaring technique is superior to any other hair removal services/processes I have experienced. You leave feeling fresh, clean and ready to take on the world. Your clothes even feel like they fit better when you are done. Go see Greg today!

For over 12 years Ray, Greg's partner, has done my hair. 12 straight years committed to the same hairdresser tells you how talented Ray is. Recently I started treating myself by adding a facial (Ray) and a massage (Greg) to alternating hair appointments. What I love about both of them, beyond their talents in their arts, is the atmosphere of caring they create. Having an appointment is like a giant hug. On my last appointment, my massage preceded my hair appointment. While Greg was discussing my needs for that visit I had the feeling that the morning of my appointments the two of them had reviewed their appointment lists and discussed each client's current life stresses, needs and established a plan to show up as peace for their clients. While I was getting my hair done I mentioned this feeling to Ray who said, "yes, actually we start our day with coffee in the swing and our client list with the intention of creating a special visit for each one." Guys, it shows!! Thank you for putting so much care in your service.
