The Meaning Behind Refuah 14
Refuah (רְפוּאָה) is a Hebrew word associated with healing, remedy, and restoration. It reflects the heart of Refuah 14 Massage & Bodywork: creating intentional space for rest and restorative care while remaining firmly grounded in Christian faith.

10 + 4 = 14
Four fingers with three bones each; the thumb with two.
Three generations of fourteen
In Hebrew, the word for hand is Yad (יד). Hebrew letters also carry numerical values, a tradition known as gematria. Yod (י) has a value of 10 and Dalet (ד) has a value of 4, giving Yad—the Hebrew word for hand—a numerical value of 14. This connection is especially meaningful to a massage and bodywork practice centered around therapeutic touch and care through the hands.
There is also a remarkable anatomical connection: each human hand contains 14 phalanges, or finger bones. The four fingers contain three each, while the thumb contains two.
The number 14 also carries meaningful biblical symbolism. In Matthew 1:17, the genealogy of Jesus is intentionally arranged into three groups of fourteen generations. The Hebrew name David (דוד) itself has a numerical value of 14, reinforcing the connection between Jesus and the line of David.
Together, the name Refuah 14 represents the intersection of healing, hands, faith, and intentional restorative care. Scripture and biblical principles are woven throughout our services, including biblical service names and accompanying verses. We welcome everyone who enters our space with compassionate, respectful care.

Hannah is wonderful! She knows where the problem areas are without telling her. Her space is very quiet and relaxing. She is very gifted in her work. I feel so much better when I leave. And I plan on returning monthly. Appreciate you Hannah

I had really bad shoulder pain before going and now I feel like I can move better and feel lighter

I have been having neck discomfort since November and receiving chiropractic care to help. In late February I also scheduled a massage to compliment my other treatment. After only one session with Hannah I started feeling SO MUCH better! She's working hard to help loosen the tightness in my body and her handcrafted magnesium spray that I took home has been wonderful. I am now on her monthly massage plan to keep my body from reverting back to stiffness and discomfort. I am very grateful to have found Hannah to partner with me in caring for my aging body and keeping it feeling as mobile and comfortable as possible. She is incredibly caring, attentive, and knows what she's doing. Thank you Hannah and I'll see you soon at my next appointment!

If you're reading this review, do yourself a favor and go ahead and book with Hannah! She was simply wonderful. I got myself a full pamper package: foot soak, mud wrap and body scrub, then 1 hr massage. After, I had the best night's sleep I'd had in months. She makes the foot soaks herself with various herbs and has many options to choose from. Hannah has such an attention to detail and everything she did told me she is not only beyond passionate about her work, but she is darn excellent at it. I felt like a princess and can't wait for my next apmt!
