Historically speaking, health and wellness offerings for marginalized groups have been inadequate or entirely non-existent. Spas, salons, and wellness centers have often limited their access to marginalized groups or refused them service altogether. While the industry is getting better in this regard, progress is still slow.
In response, Auroraflow is trying to radically change the space by welcoming people of all races, sexualities, body types, ability levels, and more.
In terms of treatments, Auroraflow offers a wide variety. Their massage options are diverse and include popular styles such as Therapeutic, Ashiatsu, Thai, Prenatal, Ayurvedic and Sports Massages. Their featured massage treatment is Reflexology, which is ideal if you spend a lot of time on your feet.
Auroraflow also provides several esthetic treatments. Popular options include the Hale and Hush Facials, which are tailored to your skin type and needs. Gender-affirming body and facial hair removal (waxing) are also available if you're seeking to get rid of unwanted hair while exfoliating your skin in the process.
For the promotion of more spiritual wellness, Auroraflow also offers a Reiki treatment. This practice encourages spiritual, mental, emotional, and physical wellness by bringing balance to your chakras and your entire energetic system.
“At Auroraflow, we strive to make our treatments approachable and accessible, with a focus on promoting the LGBTQ and BIPOC communities,” said a spokesperson for the company. “We offer services not as a luxury but as tools for self-care and healing. Our vision is to build a community and team of like-minded individuals that, with a lot of hard work, will change the faces of wellness.”

Auroraflow also offers a membership option if you're looking for a more long-term commitment. The cost of the membership is $100 a month and includes credit towards a premium facial, 75-minute therapeutic massage, or 60-minute specialty treatment ($120 value) plus 10% off all additional services or products.
Auroraflow was created by Castle Frame and Lauren McCullough, a queer couple committed to helping people in the LGBTQ and BIPOC communities live better and happier lives. In addition to Durham, they also serve surrounding areas, including Old West Durham, East Durham, Burch Avenue, Brightleaf, Albright, Lakewood Park, and Trinity Park.
The wellness center is located in a beautiful 7-room facility that was repurposed from an iconic Durham home built in the early 1900s named "the Petty House." The facility has been carefully designed to integrate art, nostalgia, and Durham's charm into every square foot, and each room is themed to encapsulate a different beauty of our world.
