Renewing Your Mind, Body & Soul
About Us
Our Story
The Three Knot Elephant was created based on the philosophy of healing, connection, and protection. The Three Knot Elephant utilizes the concept of mind, body, and soul. In many African cultures, there is an ancient bracelet that is woven together by elephant hairs. The bracelet being woven together by the elephant hair creates knots surrounded on each side of the bracelet. The Sliding knots on a bracelet symbolize the powerful forces of life. Each bracelet is unique depending on the number of knots that one bracelet has.
For instance, having three knots on a bracelet displays the connection between heaven and earth. The number three contributes to mind, body, and soul. Wearing the bracelet will bring forth prosperity and health. The meaning behind the bracelet is the foundation of the business philosophy. It allows for purpose behind every aspect of this new journey. It remains dedicated to healing and connection. The symbol of an elephant being the business logo is not only due to the bracelet fabric, but from the message that the animal stands for. Elephants are represented as luck, wisdom, guidance, and strength. I believe that the animal correlates to my persona and what I will continue to gain perseverance from.
The Three Knot Elephant allows for the meaning behind its name to transform into the service provided. The focal point is to give each client the same empowerment that the name embodies! Allowing each guest to lean towards their own healing, connection, and protection as much as our name embodies. Through the practice of massage therapy and bodywork, one can be intune with their mind, body, and soul. The first step towards this empowerment is prioritizing ourselves first above all tasks and the powerful forces that life demands. Our body is a temple in which we must care for. The Three Knot Elephant is dedicated to guiding you towards selfcare.

About The Founder
Hi, I'm Maya!
Cultivating a space for healing is the forefront of my enjoyment in life. While we reside in a society that may be hectic and intended towards others needs/wants, I believe it is imperative to prioritize within. Opening our heart to receive our own caring is vital. As a therapist and previous healthcare worker, I have witnessed how health and well-being is essential. Every person holds the key for ultimate health within. Health is the wisdom of our body and illness is only a message to pause and heal . When a problem manifests itself, the body has the remedy to fix it—we just have to know where and how to search for it.
I created The Three Knot Elephant based on this mindset. Being an advocate for well being and patient care has always been my passion ever since being a young child. Perhaps this came about from several milestones in my life. Whether those inspirations came from saving my parents lives, volunteer work, academic responsibilities, to work demands; the passion for helping one towards ultimate health is nothing short of rewarding. After graduating with my Bachelor of Science (2019) and Master of Science degree (2020), I strived to bring forth more healing on a personal level. Becoming a Licensed Massage Therapist in 2023 has been the greatest gift towards my passion but for my community as well. Providing one with the healing power of touch. I strive to create a safe environment, bring forth a sense of knowledge towards one's health, and encourage self care. Dedicated in honing the skills and insights that I have learned from my educational background and curiosity.
