Mindy Meyer, LMT
Licensed Massage Therapist
Ayaa Massage
Originally from Middleton, Wisconsin, I spent 10 years working as a surgical technician before turning my life to massage and holistic health care. I graduated from Lakeside School of Massage in Madison in 2003 and started my own practice. After spending 6 years in Seattle, Washington, where I received training in Chi Nei Tsang, Reiki and other modalities, I moved back to my hometown and started working in the collaborative environment that is the Center of Natural Medicine. I am Nationally Certified and licensed both in the State of Wisconsin and the State of Washington.
I've always felt the desire to help people and massage has been a very rewarding outlet for that. With my experience in the operating room, I came away with a desire to instill in individuals a sense of a preventative, self- empowering, holistic lifestyle, with massage being a very beneficial part of that lifestyle.
My massage usually consists of a blend of Swedish Massage, Trigger Point Therapy, Myofascial Release and Reiki, depending on the goals for the session. I also specialize in Chi Nei Tsang, a modality that focuses on the abdomen using the breath to bring in body awareness and to help release tension, digestive imbalances, female reproductive issues and emotional stress.
I enjoy working with people who want relaxation, therapeutic results, enhanced athletic performance and overall wellness to achieve a balanced and healthy lifestyle.
Another service that I provide is teaching new parents and caregivers infant massage. This instruction not only teaches the benefits of massage but also highlights the importance of creating and enhancing the bond and communication between parent and child.
I look forward to the opportunity to assist you on your way to continued health and wellness.
