Kirstin Hendrickson, LMT

I first became attracted to alternative therapies when I started receiving Shiatsu sessions when I was in my early teens, these sessions were life changing for me. I was curious about other similar therapies so I enrolled in a Massage Therapy Program at a local college as soon as I was able.

I attended WITC in Ashland WI Massage Therapy Program and graduated with honors in 2011. Right after graduation, I moved to Superior WI and went to work at Eagles Nest Massage Therapy in Duluth MN for 3 years while attending college in Superior. In 2013, I graduated WITC Superior with honors and a Associate’s Degree in Business Management.

Over the course of those 3 years (2011-2013), I attended continuing education classes and became certified in Levels I, II and IV in Dynamic Body Balancing. I also attended a class in "The Craniosacral Approach to Dissipating Trauma, Reducing Stress and Rebalancing the Body", both in this class and Dynamic Body Balancing courses; I discovered my love and fascination for Craniosacral Therapy.

In 2015, I attended an Introduction to Myofascial Release class with a John Barns instructor and in 2016 completed Craniosacral Therapy Level I with Upledger Institute . For 2017, I am attending Craniosacral Therapy Level II with Upledger in August and am excited to keep advancing my skills!

I work with a variety of styles and techniques, and although I do deep work, it is on a different level compared to the deep tissue expectation. I do specific Craniosacral sessions and also incorporate it into every massage I do as well. I see clients for regular relaxation sessions as well as chronic issues and results driven work. I have experience and am comfortable working with every age range, from infants to elderly and every level of health and ability.

My other hobbies and interests include nutrition, essential oils, plant life, gardening, yoga, and anything horses! Specifically natural hoof trimming, natural horsemanship, and going on trail rides with my husband Karl.

I hope to meet you very soon!

MY PHILOSOPHY

I believe the body is it's own healing guru. The therapies I use work to enhance the bodies natural healing power. Setting the stage for the body to care for itself is essential, as well as doing your own self care- what I do in one hour is minimal compared to what you do to your body in a life time. I am excited to work with you as a part of your body's support system in dealing with life, whether it is general stress or a specific condition you would like focused on.
