My journey as a massage therapist began in 1990.  I was a single mother of 2, looking for a rewarding career that also paid enough to support my family.  After the birth of my second son, I suffered from a pinched nerve and herniated disc in my low back.  Doctors gave me a 2% chance of walking without surgery.  I wasn't sure I believed that so looked into alternative health care.  With the help of chiropractic care and self massage/acupressure, my back healed.  Doctors thought it was a miracl...

My journey as a massage therapist began in 1990.  I was a single mother of 2, looking for a rewarding career that also paid enough to support my family.  After the birth of my second son, I suffered from a pinched nerve and herniated disc in my low back.  Doctors gave me a 2% chance of walking without surgery.  I wasn't sure I believed that so looked into alternative health care.  With the help of chiropractic care and self massage/acupressure, my back healed.  Doctors thought it was a miracle.  I thought it was normal.  I believed given the help and right care, the body frequently can heal itself.  This experience attracted me to the alternative health care field.  I attended the Minneapolis School of Massage for basic training. Following school I worked for 2 years at the Aveda Spa in Osceola, WI.  In 1992 I opened my own business, Balanced Body Balanced Life in Lindstrom, MN.   Over the years I have furthered my education in many modalities including:

Acupressure
Aromatherapy
Deep/Connective Tissue/Sports Massage
Advanced Cranio Sacral Therapy
Somato Emotional Release
Myofascial Release I (MFR)
MFR II
MFR Fascial-Pelvis
MFR Cervical Thoracic
MFR Unwinding
MFR Rebounding
5 Elements
Chinese Detoxification Abdominal Massage (Chi Nei Tsang)
Foot/Hand Reflexology
Reiki Master
Scalp Massage
Manual Lymph Drainage
MPS Scar Release Therapy (SRT)
ETPS Neuromechanical Therapy

While I LOVE my work, I also have a passion for creating and designing mobiles and jewelry based on Feng Shui and 5 Elements.  You can find some of them on my web site at:  www.transcendingart.com and Etsy.  I hope to hear from you.

I had a great massage! It was relaxing, warm and comfortable. All of my trouble/pain areas have been released and feel relaxed. LaRae is so knowledgeable about the body and it's muscle system. It's one of the best massages I have ever had. I'm scheduled for another and another!!

Deep tissue work.

Soreness in my lower back was relieved by the myo-fascial massage. Soreness in my "golfers" elbow greatly relieved. She was professional, yet down-to-earth and caring.

I appreciate the time that goes into learning multiple modalities to incorporate into an amazing massage. The ability to instinctively know how to ride that edge of getting serious work done makes for an extremely effective massage.

It was a full body
