Rea is a Licensed Massage Therapist specializing in structural and therapeutic bodywork, with a strong emphasis on how the body moves, adapts, and responds to stress, injury, and every day activity. Her approach combines several techniques beyond soft tissue work that help to normalize function and range of motion in patients experiencing pain and dysfunction that is often unresponsive to other techniques.

Her treatments are individualized based on pattern assessment and may include soft tissue work, trigger point therapy, fascial and connective tissue mobilization, and both passive and active range of motion movements. While pain relief and relaxation are always part of the goal with any manual therapy technique, her primary focus is on restoring the proper function and movement of your body to give you greater awareness, comfort, and control.

Outside of work, Rea loves staying active with strength training, cooking, eating, and anything movement related. She also has an adorable dog named Xena, and is perpetually curious and learning about the human body, health, and how to help her patients feel and function better.

Ron grew up in Northern Michigan and later attended both Alma College and Michigan State University, where he earned bachelor’s degrees in English and Sociology. His interest in healthcare motivated him to further his studies, and he soon became a CNA and earned certificates in phlebotomy and Touch for Heath. He also took classes in massage therapy, to which he was very drawn, but was unfortunately physically painful for him to perform due to his own health issues. As part of his massage therapy program, he completed a course in herbal therapies, which was taught by an acupuncturist from which he received several treatments for his serious wrist injuries. Through this experience, he found a form of healing that was maintainable without the use of medication or surgery, and allowed a person’s body to find balance within itself. Here, his commitment to Traditional Chinese Medicine was founded.

Soon after, Ron studied at Five Branches University in Santa Cruz, where he spent five and a half years learning an abundance of approaches and applications for TCM. He earned certificates in Five Elements, which offers psycho-emotional support through acupuncture, and Trauma and Orthopedics, which specializes in sports medicine and injury. He was also able to study in China, which afforded him the invaluable opportunity to observe treatments by practitioners where TCM is deeply integrated in hospitals, clinics, and long-term care facilities.

Having been practicing acupuncture in a variety of clinical and community-style settings since 2012, Ron finds great fulfillment in providing care to all those who seek it. He greatly enjoys discussing TCM and its benefits with his patients, and believes we all heal better when we can better understand and participate in our treatment.

In his free-time, Ron enjoys traveling and spending time exploring the outdoors, especially with his friends and family.
