Interview with Melissa Weinland, owner
Q: How did you get involved in this business?
A: Becoming a body worker was honestly just following a calling from childhood. An injury in my first year of practice led me to neuromuscular re-education. This deep corrective therapy saved my career. Utilizing T-bars to treat trigger points, hypertonic muscles and break up scar tissue, I knew I had to learn this work to help others and receive it regularly to maintain my own body. I’m now in my 18th year of practice and going strong.
Q: What distinguishes you from other businesses in your category?
A: My practice has evolved to incorporate several complementary therapies, including cranial-sacral, heated stone massage, sports massage, qi gong reflexology, healing touch, lymphatic drainage, ionic foot detoxification, food healing and, two years ago, laser enhanced therapy called Nano SRT biofeedback (stress reduction therapy). The Nano SRT has in its database programs for environmental, seasonal and food allergies; headaches; sleep disorders; pain management; weight loss; smoking cessation; and domestic animals.
Q: What do you like best about your line of work?
A: I don’t just like my line of work, I love it. I love assisting people in making healthy changes and choices, and watching people recover from injury, some who have been told there were no alternatives for them. I truly enjoy being of service.
Q: What is your business’ biggest challenge?
A: As a massage practitioner, being recognized as a necessary part of preventive and corrective health care. As a biofeedback practitioner, explaining the technology.
Q: Something people might be surprised to learn about you or your business:
A: I offer a free Nano SRT 100-point wellness system inspection. This inspection takes 10-12 minutes and provides a complete report of findings indicating the items (stressors) in order of severity and identified as acute or chronic problems that are most likely contributing to the patient’s health condition. The Nano SRT focus therapy tool transmits a series of frequencies that are developed as a result of the biofeedback test and are unique to each individual. These frequencies are transmitted via an LED light to various meridian points on the body. There are more than 160,000 frequencies (stressors) stored in the Nano SRT proprietary database.
