Kalamazoo, MI Spa and Massage

At Peace Body Therapy, certified massage therapists consult with clients in order to learn which muscles hurt and what the clients wish to get out of the session before they customize the massage. They use manual palpation to evaluate stress and misalignment in the muscular structure of the body and encourage clients to vocalize when the pressure is too intense or too light. Their specialty massages improve health in several ways at once, increasing flexibility, releasing chronic stress, and facilitating unhindered blood flow.

Certified massage therapists Jenny Bauer and Nicole Kidwell both took graduate classes at The Holistic Wellness Academy. And today, if one of their former teachers wanted to check on them or give them a pop quiz, they wouldn’t have to travel far. That’s because Bauer and Kidwell’s massage studio is located roughly eight blocks from the school. There, along with Steffany Parris and Samantha Wardlow, they dole out relaxation and prenatal massages for 30, 60, or 90 minutes to release tension and stress.

As a certified massage therapist and naturopathic medicine consultant, Erin Everett believes in holistic healing methods that incorporate herbal medicine, nutrition, fitness, and massage therapy. She focuses on the latter at Tranquil Healing and Massage, where her massage services include a full-body Swedish session designed to gently ease muscle soreness. Aside from this traditional modality, Erin soothes muscles with medical massages that work to decrease pain and improve the range of motion in a targeted area. She sometimes enhances her sessions with warm bamboo sticks that knead out kinks or hot stones that melt tension with warmth and pressure. Erin's menu of services doesn’t stop at massages, however. Her purifying spa facials improve skin health, and her nutritional consultations warn against attempts to swallow the hot stones after a massage.
