FAQ Friday. Q. What’s a Fijian/Thai massage? I’ve never heard of it!

A: It’s one of my favorite ways to work! It’s a blend of barefoot techniques, compression, and assisted stretching. You stay fully clothed, and there’s no oil involved. It’s deeply grounding and can help with flexibility, tension, and alignment—great for people who feel “stuck” in their bodies.

About me!!
My name is Molly Engels LMT, RP. I am married to my best friend, David. We live in Cedar Rapids, Iowa with our 3 boys, Logan (13), Landen (11), and Link (6). We also have a cat, Piper, and an Australian Kelpie Pup named Garrus! I homeschool my boys and enjoy watching them learn and explore the world around us.

I grew up in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, where I graduated from Capri College of Massage Therapy. I graduated from Capri in August of 2002.

The crazy thing is massage was not my first choice. I was actually in travel school after I graduated from high school in 2001. Unfortunately, the world of travel changed drastically in September 2001, which led to the closing of that school.
With no clue what to do next, I happened to see a sign downtown that Massage Therapy classes were starting in October, and thought to myself, "huh, that sounds fun!" So having never had a massage in my life I enrolled cause yolo!! The rest is history! Fun fact. I was also an esthetician for 5 years!

I am a master massage therapist and have experience in a spa setting along with experience in a setting that is more focused on massage therapy. I have been licensed in the states of Iowa and Connecticut.

Massage therapy is one of my passions and I am excited I get to share that passion with you! I believe that we need more positive, healing touch in our lives, and that it is extremely important now, more than ever as the world we live in becomes increasingly digital.

So come, let me help you unplug for just a bit, and indulge in a little "me time" I offer Reiki, CST, Swedish, Pre/Postnatal, Deep Tissue, Sports massage, Fijian/Thai, Ashiatsu barefoot massage, Fire and Ice massage, Lavender Shoulder and scalp massage, and Reflexology. Please feel free to message me for more info. I hope to see you soon, for a tune-up at Body Mechanix!

Beyond mere relaxation, massage therapy functions as a systemic reset, revitalizing your nervous system, helps move stagnant lymph, releases stuck fascia, softens muscles, and boosts your endorphins which in turn helps your mood! Your body will likely respond positively and crave additional sessions. I know mine does! Come see me for a reset!

FAQ Friday

Q: What is Reiki, exactly? How do you know it’s working?

A: Reiki is gentle energy healing that balances your chakras or your energy centers. Reiki supports your body’s natural ability to relax and regulate. During a session, I place my hands lightly over the body (or just above), and clients often say they feel warmth, tingling, or a wave of calm. I move to wherever the energy calls me to clear stuck energy. It’s subtle, but powerful—especially during stressful seasons.

Summer is going to wrap up soon! As the seasons shift, so does your energy.
Now’s the time to release what summer stirred up—emotionally, physically, spiritually.
Try a combo session with Reiki + reflexology to help your body align before fall fully arrives.

FAQ Friday
Q: How often should I be getting a massage?

A: It depends on your body and your lifestyle. For general wellness and stress relief, once a month is a great starting point. If you're managing chronic pain, recovering from injury, or going through a high-stress season, every 2–3 weeks might be more helpful. I also have a few people who come to see me weekly just because! I’m always happy to talk through what makes the most sense for your needs and your budget.

FAQ Friday!
Another question I get asked a lot is.
Q: Do I have to be completely undressed for a massage?

A: Nope! You’re always in control of your comfort level. I work with clients who prefer to undress fully and others who stay partially clothed—it’s totally up to you. You’ll be properly draped the entire time, and I’m here to create a safe, respectful space for your body to relax and heal.
