Everyone should be able to access wellness treatments—that's the motto of LGBTQ+ and BIPOC-inclusive spa Auroraflow in Durham, NC.

Auroraflow was started by queer couple Castle Frame and Lauren McCullough in response to a lack of inclusive self-care and healing treatments available to the LGBTQ+ and BIPOC communities. “We pride ourselves on shaking up the ‘spa model’ by providing customized treatments and experiences that reimagine wellness for people of all backgrounds and walks of life,” said a spokesperson for the business.
The spa provides many treatments that other spas offer, only with emphasis placed on accommodating everyone. Particularly popular are their massage treatments, which include therapeutic, sports, ashiatsu (barefoot), Thai, prenatal, and reflexology. Also available is their featured treatment for April, the TMJ Tune-Up, which gently releases pain in your jaw.
Auroraflow also has licensed reiki practitioners on staff. Reiki is a Japanese healing art meant to balance your chakras by transferring energy from the practitioner to you. It will help you resolve emotional stress, improve relaxation, and promote spiritual wellness.
Lastly, Auroraflow also provides hair removal treatments tailored to your skin and hair type. Included in their offerings are The Grizzly (beard facial), Hale and Hush Facial, and Full Body and Facial Hair Removal. The treatments are all body- and gender-affirming and are designed to exfoliate your skin and leave it feeling rejuvenated. With upkeep and regular appointments, you may also start to see hair removal permanence.
“The few times I’ve been to Auroraflow so far I’ve always felt welcome,” said a satisfied client. “They go above and beyond to ensure your specific needs are met no matter who you are. I’ve felt alienated at other spas, but not at Auroraflow, and that’s really comforting.”
Auroraflow's team consists of eleven friendly service providers and support staff. All of their service providers are fully licensed and certified massage therapists, estheticians, and practitioners. In keeping with its mission for inclusivity and accessibility, Auroraflow does not discriminate when it comes to its hiring practices; its team includes several members of the LGBTQ+ and BIPOC communities.
The practice is based out of an iconic Durham home built in the early 1900s. The 7-room facility has been extensively renovated to create a space that is welcoming and supportive. The facility integrates art, nostalgia, and Durham's charm into every square foot, and each room also has a theme inspired by a different beautiful aspect of our world.
In addition to Durham, Auroraflow also serves the surrounding area, including Old West Durham, East Durham, Burch Avenue, Brightleaf, Albright, Lakewood Park, and Trinity Park.
