Meet the Healers ~ Spring 2023

Amy Miller-Strand of Bodywork Transformation​ will be offering 1 hour long relaxation massage with (optional) essential oils and cupping.

I have had the personal privilege of experiencing massage with Amy and can say it is heavenly! She works intuitively with a variety of techniques to both relieve muscle tension and leave the recipient feeling incredibly relaxed.

Amy is an instigator of self care and promotes the adventure of self exploration through bodywork of all kinds. She is trained in Western Massage Modalities and Eastern Medicine Philosophy. Amy creates a fusion of both worlds using Swedish/Deep Tissue/Trigger Point Therapies/ Essential Oils with Shiatsu/Thai/Reflexology/Chinese Cupping Techniques.

{Signup will become available for massage one month in advance of the retreat.}

I’m so excited to welcome Rebecca Benstead back to another retreat! I love the warmth and regeneration I experience through Rebecca’s healing sessions. She has a gift for making people feel welcome and safe.

Rebecca’s practice brings a therapeutic and individualized approach to wellness. She started her journey in 2001 studying TCM and Shiatsu Therapy and has since evolved her work to include Reiki, visualization, breath work, Thai yoga bodywork, and Somatic Therapy. She works with each body to meet them where they are and tailors every session accordingly.

Rebecca will be offering 60, 90, & 120 minute Thai Yoga Bodywork sessions at the retreat. {Signup will be available one month prior.}

Jeremy’s back by popular demand! He exudes a warm & positive energy and has a powerful, compassionate healing practice.

I’m thrilled to announce Tanya Rice will be offering Reiki at the Spring retreat!

Tanya first practiced yoga in 2010, became certified as an instructor in 2012, and almost immediately began teaching and sharing this transformative passion with family and friends. A few short years later Tanya’s dream of opening a yoga studio to the public was realized. Azitala is now something of a staple in the Elk River community and draws a wide range of bodies.

Tanya will be guiding a number of classes over the retreat weekend and will also be offering a handful of one-on-one Reiki healing sessions for chakra clearing and energy wellness.
