As a Certified Pediatric Massage Therapists, I have experience working with children who have very special healthcare needs and medical conditions. In May 2014, I teamed with Children's Wisconsin to develop and implement its first-ever Pediatric Massage and Touch Therapy Program. This partnership ended unfortunately in the midst of the COVID19 pandemic.

In 2017, I received special training to work with cancer patients and survivors. In 2018, I initiated training in CranioSacral Therapy with The Upledger Institute. To date, I have completed Level I and II and recently completed Somatic Emotional Release training as part of the The Upledger Institute's Core Curriculum. I am excited to continue my journey towards certification with special focus in pediatric CranioSacral Therapy.

Further, KANNAI Therapeutic Massage LLC is an approved vendor with IRIS and the Children's Long-Term Support Waiver Programs providing therapeutic massage services for qualified adults and children under the Wisconsin Medicaid Program.

REVIEWS for my Bodywork, Coaching, or Reflexology services

by Carol on Oct 21
Ronnie is the best! She is knowledgeable, professional and kind. I always feel better after i see her.
by Tricia on Sep 24
Ronnie is very intentional with her sessions. She is very knowledgeable with human anatomy and what areas to target for various issues. Although she is not nearby, she is worth the drive if I want a quality massage!

I took my daughter for a spa day and that is exactly what she got! Professional and knowledgeable in her profession she spoke to and with my daughter making her so comfortable. When leaving we already decided another spa in the near future.

Great service from a talented professional masseuse. Thanks, Ronnie.

Ronnie is a highly skilled massage therapist who uses a variety of techniques and tools depending on what is needed. I always leave feeling so much better than when I arrived.
by Jacque on Jul 12
Hands down (pun intended) the absolute best massage I’ve ever had! I treat myself to massages on a semi-regular basis; 3-4 times a year, if not more. Ronnie was thoughtful and thorough in her treatment focusing on areas in need. I don’t live in the greater Milwaukee area, I don’t live in the state of WI, but when I visit, time on her table will be a priority.
by Dan on Apr 22
Ronnie is the best massage therapist I have ever had. Her attention to detail and communication skills are perfect. She is versatile and can help people of all ages, sizes, etc.
by Kim on Mar 22
