Get to Know Me My name is Alicia Nelis, and I am the owner of this space. I am a licensed massage therapist in Michigan. I have been in the industry since 2006 along the lakeshore from Grand Haven to Saugatuck. I have many years of experience working with different chiropractors and in spa settings. With my many years of experience and a growing family I decided to open my very own small massage business in 2019, and thus Sandalwood and Stone was created. It had always been a goal of mine since graduating massage school to own and operate my own business. With my many years of experience, I have completed many courses in continuing education to expand my massage knowledge and techniques to better serve my clients. I have completed courses for pain management, fibromyalgia, advance trigger point therapy, John F. Barnes myofascial release, and cupping therapy. I also have my certification as an acudetox specialist (auricular/ ear acupuncture) utilizing the NADA Protocol, am a certified hand and foot reflexologist with Branch Reflexology Institue, and a degree in medical assisting and phlebotomy from Davenport University. I have become proficient in a variety of massage styles to individualize each session to the specific needs and preferences of my clients. Some modalities I excel in are deep tissue, relaxation, medical massage, myofascial release, cupping, auricular (ear) acupuncture, hand and foot reflexology, and pre/postnatal massage. I have a love and passion for learning body and energy work. I have plans of continuing to expand my knowledge of current, as well new modalities in the future so that I can better help my clients.
Massage Therapy
Individualized massage session using a blend of body work techniques customized for your set of unique needs. Massage treatment can include a mix of techniques that can include the following techniques: relaxation, trigger point, deep tissue, passive stretching, range of motion, myofascial release, and reflexology. The use of table heat and heating pads can also be incorporated for your comfort.
Acupuncture
Up to five tiny, sterile, single use acupuncture needles are gently placed into specific sites on each ear by the trained acu-detox specialist. Acudetox sessions allow the participant to utilize their own body's natural detoxification process and can notice immediate results such as: relaxation, increased calmness, decreased anxiety, mental clarity, improved sleep and energy levels.
Reflexology
Reflexology is a technique that focuses on specific pressure points within your feet to help correct energy flows throughout your body.
