Injury Recovery and Deep Relaxation since 2002
Current Clients: If you cannot find an appointment, please text me at 612-245-2806. I often have last minute cancellations and can fit you in.
I am still booking out several weeks and cannot take new clients. I need to make sure that I offer quality service to my existing clientele before adding new people. I will let you know as soon as I have openings again.
These colleagues are taking new clients:
Reka Hagermeister Reka has been practicing for over a decade and I exchange bodywork with her regularly. She provides Massage and Shiatsu. She can do full body or specific work. She is taking new clients.
Jean Loyd Jean was one of my students and has a great spirit and works out of her own studio in North Minneapolis. She is building her business and taking new clients.
The Wellness Center has multiple therapists and I recommend Michael Casper. He taught with me and provides the same services including Massage, Deep Tissue, and Shiatsu.
April Fleck, BA, CMT, MSW candidate, is a versatile and experienced body worker. She enjoys engaging the client's parasympathetic nervous system and sending them on an epic relaxation journey. At the same time, she likes to "nerd out" over body mechanics and solve complicated pain patterns.
