My journey as a massage therapist began in 1990. I was a single mother of 2, looking for a rewarding career that also paid enough to support my family. After the birth of my second son, I suffered from a pinched nerve and herniated disc in my low back. Doctors gave me a 2% chance of walking without surgery. I wasn't sure I believed that so looked into alternative health care. With the help of chiropractic care and self massage/acupressure, my back healed. Doctors thought it was a miracle. I thought it was normal. I believed given the help and right care, the body frequently can heal itself. This experience attracted me to the alternative health care field. I attended the Minneapolis School of Massage for basic training. Following school I worked for 2 years at the Aveda Spa in Osceola, WI. In 1992 I opened my own business, Balanced Body Balanced Life in Lindstrom, MN. Over the years I have furthered my education in many modalities including: Acupressure Aromatherapy Deep/Connective Tissue/Sports Massage Advanced Cranio Sacral Therapy Somato Emotional Release Myofascial Release I (MFR) MFR II MFR Fascial-Pelvis MFR Cervical Thoracic MFR Unwinding MFR Rebounding 5 Elements Chinese Detoxification Abdominal Massage (Chi Nei Tsang) Foot/Hand Reflexology Reiki Master Scalp Massage Manual Lymph Drainage MPS Scar Release Therapy (SRT) ETPS Neuromechanical Therapy While I LOVE my work, I also have a passion for creating and designing mobiles and jewelry based on Feng Shui and 5 Elements. You can find some of them on my web site at: www.transcendingart.com and Etsy. I hope to hear from you.
Thai massage is a therapeutic deep tissue technique and an ancient healing practice.It rarely uses oils or lotions, and the recipient remains clothed during a treatment. The body is compressed, pulled, stretched and rocked in order to clear energy blockages and relieve tension. In this process, joints are opened, muscles and tendons are stretched, internal organs are toned, and energy is balanced. The overall effect is one of deep relaxation, rejuvenation, and physical and mental well being.
