More About Cecile:
Cecile has been practicing massage therapy and yoga since the early 1990s, traveling to Indianapolis and Michigan at the Health Enrichment Center for massage training, and northern California at Ananda Village to learn and practice the teachings of yoga, as taught by Paramhansa Yogananda. After her father’s passing in 1993 from cancer, her passion for practicing and sharing the teachings of touch therapies and yoga meditation created a career change from corporate finance to massage therapist and yoga instructor, and  has continued to expand to what it is today, Bodyworks Massage Institute.

“I love every day of what I do. I feel everything that happens at Bodyworks creates a greater opportunity for those who wish to learn about, and/or experience, the healing art and science of massage, yoga and meditation, to do so.  It is a joy to be able to help others reach their goals in their choice of career or healing.”

More About Leah:
Leah continues to be instrumental in the operations of Bodyworks, assisting in daily activities and managerial decisions. She enjoys her career as a massage therapist as it is the one career that always gives back; giving massage to others also helps her stay centered, grounded and focused in all other areas of life.

“I decided to take the massage therapy course because I have always been interested in natural healing modalities.  My mother is also a massage therapist and I was raised in an environment where I could see, and feel, the benefits of massage. Becoming a mother myself, I now have a deeper understanding of the power of touch. I love being able to offer clients relief from their pain, stress and the daily grind of life.  I am so thankful to have a career that I enjoy and I know is so helpful to others.”

More About Emily:
Emily has a Bachelor of Science Degree from Purdue University in Child Development and Family Studies, and worked in social work with families and children after graduating from college.

“I have always loved helping others.  Before training to become a massage therapist I was a social worker with families and children. I wanted to continue helping people take care of themselves and get through stressful times in their lives, and have found that massage therapy can guide people through some of the toughest times in life. Almost everyone goes through periods of being mentally and physically drained from work, family life, illness, taking care of sick or dying family members, etc., and I feel that even a short amount of time on a massage table can help heal on physical, mental and emotional levels. Massage therapy has helped me through many emotionally trying times in my life, from the birth of my children to the passing of my father.  Touch is a very powerful healing tool.”

More About Kristen:
Kristen unschooled for nearly all of her school-age years driven by a love of learning. Encyclopedias, dictionaries, and all manner of reading material, along with her curiosity of the wisdom of the natural world has turned her into a self-proclaimed “student of the universe”. She looks forward to continuing her education in massage and bodywork by studying energy modalities such as reiki and polarity therapy, as well as pre-natal and hospice massage.

Kristen enjoys working with individuals of all ages and body types on their journey of self-care and well-being. In her down time she retreats for quietude to her small hermitage in the woods, recharging with yoga, meditation, and cooking with friends. She finds joy in exploring other cultures through their cuisine and dance. Laughter is important to her so she spends time with her family because it is with them that she can laugh her deepest.

“For many years I have wanted to become a massage therapist, and finally I have been able to answer the call of my heart by becoming first a student, and now a graduate of Bodyworks Massage Institute. The experiences I have had working with community organizations has helped me to develop a profound awareness of holistically healing the body, mind, and heart. Massage therapy is a profession that I can carry that awareness into.”

More About Brittany:

I am currently trained in therapeutic massage, hot stone, cupping, and pregnancy massage. As I continue my career as a massage therapist, I hope to continue to add to my list of skills and services as I grow in my role here. I have been interested in massage therapy ever since I can remember. As a little girl, I would go around to my family and give them all massages for a few dollars and absolutely loved it. As I grew older, I didn’t start with massage therapy, but I found myself longing for a career that I could love and grow in. After working behind the desk at a chiropractic office for years, I finally decided to take that leap and become a therapist as I wanted to be on the other side of the desk helping people and not just checking them in. I am passionate about helping people heal, relax, and give them that peaceful, loving environment that we all need from time to time. I also love that I have endless opportunities to grow and learn in this field and that my work and techniques used are unique to me as a therapist. When I am not working, I enjoy spending time with my family, being outdoors, hiking, cooking and of course, relaxing with a good massage therapy session.

Cody brought his family and practice to the Evansville, IN area in 2020. Since doing so he has been able to work with and support an array of clients with differing needs. Cody is a professional musician, sound healer and an avid cyclist and runner. He volunteered for The Feldenkrais Guild of North America and is bi-lingual (Spanish-English). He, his wife Jennifer, and their two children are enjoying being close to family and frolicking in the calm of Southern Indiana life.

The Feldenkrais® Method is a slow, gentle, hands-on method that can help with over-use injuries, chronic pain, anxiety, and more. Your private lesson will begin with an intro discussion/check-in, and will then segue into relaxing, hands-on table work.

As the teacher, Cody gives sensory cues primarily by moving your body with very gentle touch. The process is one of generating sensation (perception of physical change) which is received and used by the human nervous system as information. In a lesson, we generate information of a kind and quality which acts to modify the way in which you organize movement or how you “use yourself”.

For anyone new to the experience of individual Feldenkrais® lessons, Cody is offering a 45-minute Intro to Feldenkrais® session for $55. All sessions after are 90-minutes for $150. You are fully dressed for this treatment so wear comfortable clothing that allows for ease of movement.
