Massage Saint Charles, IL

Hi! I'm so glad you found me! I've learned so much through my personal healing journeys and am now in a wonderful place in my life where I can help others with the therapeutic modalities I'm most passionate about: massage, frequency specific microcurrent (FSM), pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMF), sound and light therapy, yoga, and mindfulness. 

 

We each have a natural healing force within us that we can nurture with mindful awareness and movement practices, deep relaxation in the quantum realm, and a clean, plant-plentiful diet. I invite you to join my healing circles to learn and practice these together in a fun atmosphere, keeping each other accountable to prioritizing our health and well-being.

 

Health truly is wealth and I'm looking forward to being a partner on your healing journey and helping you lead a richer and more joyous life.

I serve the St. Charles, IL area and beyond, combining massage therapy with applied biophysics technology to increase health and relieve nerve, muscle, and joint pain.

 My session rate is $120 and sessions are 90 minutes. As a member of your health care team, I have a no tipping policy. Save $100 when you purchase a 5-session package.

MASSAGE THERAPY

My signature WELLNESS MASSAGE is personalized to your needs and combines a variety of flowing strokes tailored to your pressure preference. I blend in Quantum Touch, Reiki, craniosacral therapy, myofascial release, and reflexology to help balance and heal on multiple levels. I can also add a pre-set FSM protocol, PEMF, grounding pad, blue/red/infrared light therapy, or sound therapy. Perfect for maintaining a stable state, reducing stress, and easing tension, this full body massage is a wonderful way to take care of yourself.

When you've had an injury or surgery, need relief from chronic pain, or want to improve mobility and range of motion, you can schedule a THERAPEUTIC MASSAGE that targets a specific condition. I often use special tools and techniques to reach deeper layers of muscle tissue, releasing adhesions and trigger points. I'll focus on the body areas most in need and we can utilize energy medicine technologies to reach your wellness goals even faster.

My WOOD AND STONE MASSAGE is both relaxing and invigorating. This grounding, full body massage incorporates specially designed and gently warmed wooden tools and stones to penetrate deeper, softening muscle tissue and fascial restrictions. I'll roll and melt away your tension with tools from nature. 

THAI TABLE MASSAGE is an ancient and powerful method of bodywork integrating deep compression, acupressure, and passive stretching. I'll combine traditional Thai techniques with the comfort and convenience of a table massage. You’ll be fully clothed as I use my hands, forearms, elbows, and feet to apply pressure to your muscles, leaving your whole body feeling relaxed and energetically rejuvenated. 

In my ENERGY MEDICINE MASSAGE you can be fully clothed and I'll fuse techniques from Quantum Touch, Reiki, reflexology, and craniosacral therapy to help bring your Whole Being into balance. You can choose for me to only use one of these modalities or I can intermix them as my intuition calls to me during our session.

FREQUENCY SPECIFIC MICROCURRENT (FSM)

FSM stimulates your body's natural healing processes by altering cell membrane function to help neutralize dysfunction, repairing and regenerating nerves and other living tissue, dissolving scar tissue and adhesions, and reducing inflammation and pain. Published research has shown many positive benefits of FSM including a 500% increase in cellular energy production (ATP) and a reduction in inflammatory cytokines (pain markers) by a factor of 10-20 times. Whether you're dealing with muscle, nerve, or joint pain; illness, anxiety, or infertility; sports injuries, accident rehabilitation, or post-op healing; or just everyday stress-related tension, FSM can help.

During your session, I'll use a handheld device attached with wires to two warm, wet towels to deliver around 150 microamps of electrical current. I'll set the device's two channels to exact frequencies to target both the issue and tissue type—for example, 40 Hertz on one channel for quieting inflammation and 396 Hertz on the other channel for peripheral nerves. The device runs at millionths of an ampere, which is a thousand times less current than a TENS device, and the same level of current your body produces on its own within each cell. Most people don't feel anything except for possibly euphoric and extra-relaxed from a quick increase in endorphins (our natural painkillers). Similar to massage, it is important to be well hydrated to maximize effectiveness and avoid dehydration symptoms.

Pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) is another technology that utilizes a small device placed on or near your body that transmits frequencies via magnetic waves instead of by electrical current. I will often run both my PEMF and FSM device at the same time, along with light and sound therapy, to create maximum effect.

I can add these technologies to your massage session at no additional cost. You can choose from one of the following pre-set protocols (frequency pairings and sequences designed by experienced research clinicians) or we can set up a series of customized FSM sessions (with or without massage) to address your unique healing goals more precisely. 

FSM Protocol Options: Acne, Adrenal Support, Anxiety, Arthritis, ADD-ADHD, Bladder Health, Brain Health, Breast Health, Carpel Tunnel, Concussion, Constipation, CRPS, Depression, EMF Desensitization, Emotional Balance, Female Gynecological Health, Fibromyalgia, GERD, GI-Leaky Gut/SIBO/IBS, Gout, Immune System Support, Kidney Health, Liver Health, Long-Haul COVID Conditions, Nausea from Chemo, Pancreas Health, Plantar Fasciitis, PTSD, Shingles, Skin Anti-Aging, Sleep Support, Tinnitus, Thyroid Health, TMJ Pain, Vagus Nerve Stimulation, Vertigo, and more.​​

A LITTLE ABOUT ME & MY HEALING JOURNEY

With intention, life can be a beautiful, ongoing healing journey where we turn seemingly negative experiences into transformative ones; healing on physical as well as energetic-emotional levels. When I look back, I wouldn't take away any of my struggles because I've learned so much and my life has more passion and preciousness as a result.

 

I first discovered powerful healing modalities such as yoga, energy medicine, bodywork, acupuncture, Ayurveda, and Traditional Chinese Medicine when my husband Gary and I were at the end of a 7-year quest to starting a family. After trying many medical interventions, I got pregnant naturally in 2003 after immersing myself in holistic practices, including a month-long yoga teacher training in Sedona.

 

During and after my three pregnancies, I had elevated blood sugar, chronic sinusitis, and eczema leading me to an elimination diet and a deeper understanding of food being both the cause and the cure. Chronic adrenal fatigue also limited the activities I could do, and after incorporating Medical Medium protocols, I made huge strides with this.

My interest in mindfulness grew exponentially as my children grew—first because it greatly supported my own mental health and parenting, but also because of the studies that continued to come out about its positive effect in education settings. I was inspired to introduce teacher and student groups to mindfulness and yoga any chance I could get.

 

My enthusiasm for it increased so much that I founded the nonprofit Coalition of Schools Educating Mindfully in 2018. I have fun co-creating with a team of educators from across the globe to support school communities through learning experiences, communities of practice, and resources for mindfulness-based social and emotional learning. I feel very proud to have published a book co-written by over 40 educators and organizations called Educating Mindfully: Stories of School Transformation Through Mindfulness

Extended hours at the computer took a toll on my body and I experienced several bouts of frozen shoulder where massage and physical therapy were keys to my recovery. More and more, my body called me away from computer work toward a hands-on, healing-centered profession. 

 

Midway through my first semester of massage school at the College of DuPage, I began having excruciating thumb pain even with my good body mechanics. I paused my studies, and from an fMRI learned that I had a lot of cervical damage from an auto accident many years earlier that was impacting the nerves in my neck, shoulders, arms, and hands causing inflammation, pain, and more.

Shortly after and synchronistically, I stumbled upon the book The Resonance Effect at the library where I learned about frequency specific microcurrent (FSM). It helps tremendously with my chronic pain and adrenal issues and has allowed me to continue doing what I love. It has also helped my family with ailments and sports injuries, and I consider my FSM device a vital part of our first aid kit.

 

I was excited to learn that licensed massage therapists can become FSM practitioners and can also prescribe FSM devices to clients when they desire their own. I completed core and advanced FSM trainings in 2023 and received my massage license in 2024. I'm so appreciative for the opportunity to help people in such powerful ways.
