Meet Alyssa.
Movement has always been her language.
Long before she became a massage therapist, Alyssa was a gymnast, dancer, and professional fire performer. She has spent more than 35 years understanding what it means to rely on your body—and what it feels like when movement becomes restricted.
From supporting healing to hands-on care
After years working alongside massage therapists, chiropractors and naturopathic doctors at Northwestern Health Sciences University, she knew she wanted to help people recover in a more hands-on way. Massage became the next step.
But she also knew it wasn’t the whole picture. While searching for another way to help people move more freely, she discovered Fascia Stretch Therapy.
“Her knowledge and experience with massage therapy
blended with stretch therapy was outstanding.
Anyone looking for a personable, knowledgeable,
and professional therapist will be in great hands.”

Where massage and movement come together
Developed by dancer Ann Frederick, FST immediately resonated.
It shared the same belief Alyssa had carried with her throughout her life: Movement isn’t something you force. It’s something you restore.
Today, Alyssa is one of Minnesota’s few certified Fascia Stretch Therapy practitioners—and one of the only ones who combines
FST with therapeutic massage in the same session.
