About Our Businesses
I, Marilyn Shupe, was trained as a Certified Thai
Practitioner, and had a Thai bodywork practice for 5
years prior to starting this business. I went to Wellness and Massage Training Institute in Woodridge (now closed).
I have taken and continue to take, classes in Myofascial Release (MFR) with John F. Barnes, PT.

I believe that ultimately, the person in pain is the only
person that can make it better. I am just here as an
instrument to assist that process. I highly encourage
clients to use stretching to further the process of pain
relief. Stretching is an integral part of my day. Intuition
is a big part of my success in the ability to "read" a
body and find restrictions. Sessions can be a
meditative experience for both my client and me.
