Jacquelyn is a certified and licensed massage therapist and is certified as a Reiki I Energy Healer, performing massage since 2007. She is a ABMP Body Worker member and currently advocates and is lobbing for Massage Therapy State Licensing for the State of MN. (MN is one of four states that does not license or have an oversight board for Massage Therapy.)
Jacquelyn uses a variety of techniques, however specializes in Myofascial Release (MFR) Unwind. Unwind is a type of movement therapy technique that addresses the fascia or connective tissue. Movement during the massage helps to identify muscle restriction, compromised range of motion, and instantly identifies what muscle(s) is not cooperating in a muscle movement group. Once the "culprit" muscle(s) is found and the connective tissue is released, she then focuses on releasing the muscle attachments. Working both the fascia and then the muscle attachments helps to instantly work the kinks and knotting out of the fascia and muscles to then improve range of motion, increase flexibility, and clients tend to not have as much pain after their treatment! There is not much soreness after the massage because the muscle belly is not being "forced" to release, as most massage is preformed. Working the attachments and applying MFR waits for the muscle to release and helps the muscles to relax and realign so massage treatment last longer.
"I use MFR Unwind because people get better results! After an appointment clients stand up straighter, aches and pains are greatly reduced or disappear, time in between treatment last longer, and people get back to moving and grooving with their busy lives."
Jacquelyn danced and choerographed shows off and on for twenty years and played sports growing up. She has had her fair share of disappointing injuries and physical challenges, and has experienced the agonizing frustrations of recovery time. Because of her experiences, she is a good listener, empathetic to health issues, and keeps current with new techniques, injury recovery and stretches to help her clients achieve their goals and relax.
