Do you know a licensed massage therapist looking to rent a space? I want to share my massage room as I continue my education and expand my business to include mental health.

This opportunity is perfect for an emerging therapist looking to start their own business and have the support of a collaborative wellness studio with other independent business owners. Additionally, I would be delighted to mentor them from my two decades of experience in the industry if they so desire.

This could also be an excellent setup for a part-time massage therapist. Please share this flyer or post with anyone who might be interested.

As always, thank you for supporting my small business. Words can not express my gratitude for serving clients with therapeutic massage and the community with wellness services. I'm looking forward to providing my clientele with a trusted therapist I can refer to when illnesses or vacations happen within the current studio.

Happy New Year Clients, Family, Friends and Supporters!

I hope you have had an enjoyable holiday season and now are ready for a new calendar year and the season of winter!

“If we had no winter, the spring would not be so pleasant: if we did not sometimes taste of adversity, prosperity would not be so welcome.” - Anne Bradstreet

Often with winter and the new year, we pause for reflection and look for positive changes. Small consistent changes I have learned are key for big sustainable impact in our life.

I invite you to dream and plan for your 2025 and plant seeds now for that growth you seek. In 2024 I had both growth and challenges as I suspect most of you did as well. For me, I had a good year with a busy calendar of clients, doing what I love. In addition, I found my body has limitations that I didn’t have 20 years ago when I started massage school in 2004. I have found some relief in my chronic pain that I suspect was mainly due to my deep grief of losing my daughter in 2023. I’m happy to report, that the integration of grief, carrying that love has softened and not as sharp but instead a reminder of the beauty of life and memories forever in my heart. I have found peace, love, gratitude and joy. May we always find the light even in our darkest times.

In 2025 my schedule is now 3 days a week for client appointments. Mondays and Tuesdays 12pm-8pm and Fridays 9am-5pm In September I started a Marriage and Family Therapy Masters program. I will be taking two classes a quarter until my graduation in March 2027. With this extra load of school work, I realized my schedule seeing clients needed adjustment to make space for my goals. I appreciate your understanding and support as I seek education and a new license with a mental health focus. I’m excited to integrate my previous education and experience with my new training and knowledge.

If you are a regular client this change has most likely already been communicated. With all clients I recommend booking appointments with me in advance as I book out 6-8 weeks in advance and sometimes more for the coveted evenings time slots. I do have a cancellation list, so please reach out to get on that if you are struggling to get in when you would like. Thank you so much for patience and continued support of my small business!

Drop a comment on what your focus or priorities are for 2025 and what services you love the most from Breathing Space Therapies (massage, Yomassage ™, infrared sauna, puppy yoga, workshops, other classes, etc). Looking forward to providing you quality services in your self care.

Happy New Year!

Hi there! As a massage therapist I am primarily focusing on relief or relaxation in the tissues of your physical body. However, while studying for my masters in a mental health field and working in bodywork for 20 years I have come to find many clients have mind-body pain. Often our stressors internalize and add tension in our tissues. Also sometimes chronic pain leads to mental health struggles. When managing my own wellness I find many benefits in walking outdoors, yoga even if just 5 minutes, meditation, journaling and speaking to like minded people with empathy and seeking professional support with a licensed counselor. I am a huge mental health advocate due to a variety of personal and professional reasons and would love to reduce the still existent stigma on receiving care or support.

In times of stress, life transitions, milestones, traumas, losses, and struggles with relationships it can be helpful to seek professional assistance.

Here is some local WI support. NAMI Wisconsin is a great organization providing access to support in our communities.

While relaxing into these passive stretches, Amy will indicate for each position what bodywork area will be provided.

*No mat needed, all will be provided. Wear clothing that you can stretch in comfortably. Recommend no jewelry so you can receive hands on massage (watches and stud earrings are acceptable).

Yomassage™ Testimonials

From Bobbi M: "Yomassage with Amy was 75 mins of the best me time I've had in awhile. The restorative yoga poses combined with massage and meditation left me feeling grounded and so relaxed. Yoga and massage...the best combo ever! I can't recommend this class enough."

From Melissa B: "As she led us through meditation and focusing exercises, she provided visuals for us to imagine, which took us on a journey of healing and self love. Amy's voice was soothing, and combined with the peaceful environment and relaxation from the yoga and massages, provided me with a much needed escape from the stress of everyday. When the session was over, I knew right away that this was something I wanted to do again. I walked out of the studio feeling amazing! Not just physically, but mentally and emotionally as well. If this is something you're considering doing but are worried about any limitations, don't let it stop you from going! I truly believe that everyone can benefit from this and I can't wait until my next session"

Price Increase for Sessions

Around 5 years ago, I started Breathing Space Therapies, LLC. after years working in various locations as a massage therapist. I have been a licensed massage therapist since 2006. Twenty years ago I started massage school in 2004 at The Soma Institute, graduating in 2005. I have been a licensed massage therapist for two decades now. I have worked in a 5-star spa, taught massage and ran the massage department for a couple years at Everest College, and started a business called Breathe Easy Therapies in Chicago, where I had a room inside a Cross-fit gym and in psychological center in addition to my home and traveled to schools and organizations. It has been a rewarding and interesting career! Most importantly, I am so grateful to have gained your trust and business.

Hopefully, you can understand the decision to a slight rate change slated to go into effect November 1, 2024. I wanted to give you a "heads up" and opportunity to receive massages at the current price. The last price increase I had was in July 2022. Since 2022, I have moved with Light Minded People to our Ashwaubenon studio and rent 2 rooms, I have added the infrared sauna as an add-on, or as a stand alone service. Recently I become a certified Yomassage™ Therapist and offer a Yomassage™ class every other week on Wednesdays 6:30-7:45pm.

This adjustment is necessary to ensure that I can continue offering you the highest quality of service and care you have come to expect at Breathing Space Therapies. As many of you know, the costs of maintaining a safe and comfortable environment for our sessions, as well as the ongoing education and training required to keep services fresh and effective, have increased over the years.Your support over the years has been invaluable, and I truly appreciate your understanding during this transition. As always, I am here to answer any questions you may have, and I look forward to continuing our journey together toward greater health and relaxation.

See below for more information on the new prices on massage services. Sauna sessions will stay the same, but I will be announcing some package deals soon! And new brochures are on there way! Also note you may notice new pricing in Vagaro when booking, however, during check-out current pricing will be used until November 1st, 2024.

What is restorative stretch?

Yomassage positions are inspired by restorative yoga. In restorative yoga, you relax in gentle, restorative stretches supported by props that allow you to slowly lengthen muscles and get into the deep connective tissue over 8-15 minutes.

Gentle stretching is similar to massage in that it increases dopamine (the happiness hormone) while decreasing cortisol (the stress hormone) and the body's stress response.

And the best part...in Yomassage we add therapeutic touch + mindfulness to each position.

The restorative positions we use in Yomassage are accessible to everyone who can get up and down off of the mat. You don’t need to be “flexible” at all or have any prior yoga experience!

Classes every other Wednesday at 6:30PM starting September 11th!

Why do we crave therapeutic touch?

We all know that after a massage we feel better… but why? Why do we look forward to the yoga instructor’s adjustments or light touch at the end of class, or feel better after receiving a hug?

Research shows the right kind of touch can lower blood pressure, heart rate, and cortisol levels, stimulate the hippocampus (an area of the brain that is central to memory), and drive the release of a host of hormones and neuropeptides that have been linked to positive and uplifting emotions. The physical effects of touch are far-reaching. To sum it up:

Touch is essential to the human experience.
Touch can impact anxiety, depression, stress, and the nervous system.
Infants can have developmental delays associated with touch deprivation.
Massage decreases symptoms of PTSD among military veterans.
Touch trains neural pathways – safe, therapeutic touch re-trains the brain to predict safe interactions.

While yoga has been shown to be extremely beneficial for both the physical body and emotions, adding the powerful element of touch has the potential to exponentially increase positive effects for the mind and body.

Through guided breathwork and themed meditation prompts, you will forget you are meditating as you enter into a deeper state of relaxation.

Sign up for our first week of Yomassage sessions today! Only 5 spaces available in each session. First class starts Wednesday September 11th at 6:30PM and offered every other week!

Why do we combine touch, stretch, and breath?

While all of these modalities are amazing on their own, combining them in a single session provides an opportunity for healing and relaxation like no other. When you experience Yomassage, you will activate the parasympathetic nervous system and create an environment for your body to relax and relieve stress like never before. And it only gets better the more you practice!

Sign up for your Yomassage™ session today! Every other Wednesday at 6:30PM starting September 11th. Limited to 5 people, book now:
