Level II reiki practitioner and ordained minister Trisha Smith uses her intuitive understanding of mind and body to promote healing. She combines the strategic touches and pressures of reiki massage with modalities such as color therapy and aromatherapy to trigger the body's innate healing capabilities. Throughout her holistic-healing treatments, Trisha pays respect to medical science. She applies her techniques as a way to help clients recover from physical and emotional pain rather than as a wholesale substitute for Western medicine. She believes that, like conjoined twins, the two should work together for optimal effects.

Although some may think the eyes, the hands, or the kneecaps are the most important parts of the body, Arnica Muscle & Fitness believes muscles are actually the most vital. With the motto “muscles move us,” the business tends to muscles through therapeutic massage, personal training, and fitness classes. Circuit training and yogilates—a hybrid yoga-Pilates class—put muscles through the ringer before a licensed massage therapist quells soreness and tension with targeted pressure, soothing strokes, and heated stones.
