Jake Lemerand attended Baker College in Muskegon, Michigan where he completed over 1000 credited hours of massage training and earned an Associates Degree in Health Science. Since then, he has been refining and expanding his practice since 2016. Jake’s treatment foundation is built around finding dysfunctions in the body and addressing the cause of pain, limited range of motion, nerve issues, etc. He uses combinations of Medical/Clinical assessments, Neurokinetic therapy (NKT), Sports practices, the fascial system, scars and much more to be a pain detective for his clients.

Jake’s hands-on practice is different from Standard Massage Therapy and leans towards Manual Therapy. Using his Massage background, assessment style of Physical Therapy, testing for over/under active areas (weak muscles are tight and need to be activated), NKT, research in general to advanced ailments and a huge focus on the nervous system leads to a deeper understand on how to treat clients. After each session clients are sent home with a personal video of easy and effective homework assignment.

His treatment is for everybody with any body type. Consider booking a session with Jake if you deal with general tension that wont release, mild to intense pain, range of motion issues, head aches/migraines, nerve problems, scoliosis, TMJ, all types of back pain, scar limitations (more common then you might think!), knee/hip/foot issues, balance problems, post surgery, whiplash, frozen shoulder/AC problems, rotator cuff limitations, muscle/tendon tears, tinnitus, sciatica, carpal tunnel, thoracic outlet, increase physical performance and much more!

Ashlee is a graduate of Bay College’s 625 hour massage therapy program. Communicating with clients and their needs to help guide her intuition, she combines techniques like stretching, deep tissue, neuromuscular, and trigger point therapies to offer a tailored massage. Her intentions are to remind the areas of the body the spaces they can happily inhabit, leaving the body and mind feeling whole and relaxed again. Her goal is that you walk away feeling different than when you arrived, as if you’ve returned to the space that is your comfortable home. We only have one body in this life and we should love existing in it!

She is also certified in reiki 1 and 2 and uses the knowledge of energy work to personalize her sessions to each clients needs.

Emily is a 2024 graduate of Five Elements Integrative Therapy Academy in Houghton, MI where she completed 650 hours of massage therapy education. Here she gained knowledge on various massage techniques including myofascial release, prenatal, intro to craniosacral, trigger point therapy, working with some aspects of intra-oral TMJD(temporomandibular joint disorder), and more. She implements a mix of this knowledge with intuition as she works with clients, while taking into account everyone's personal preferences and goals. Her aim is for you to leave feeling renewed mentally and physically, not just in the moment, but also as the day carries on. Oftentimes we don’t realize the tension we’re carrying throughout our muscles; letting go of that weight and feeling the way our bodies respond has the potential to change much more than just muscle tissue!
