Alissa Effland

Alissa began doing bodywork over 20 years ago. Her own journey of healing inspired her to want to help others heal from chronic illness and become skilled in the therapies that helped her: Upledger Craniosacral Therapy, John F. Barnes Myofascial Release, Acupressure and Thai Yoga Therapy. Among these modalities, Alissa has found that Craniosacral Therapy is best-suited to create deep healing from within for chronic illness when conventional methods haven't worked. Acupressure complements Craniosacral Therapy by supporting energy movement and release of stagnation, and many of Alissa's clients enjoy receiving integrated sessions that combine Craniosacral Therapy with Acupressure. Once clients are able to return to normal functioning, they often choose to include Thai Yoga Therapy in their maintenance schedule to help them achieve the next level of functionality and mobility. Alissa is passionate about providing a healing experience through listening, compassionate touch and skilled therapeutic treatment. She is dedicated to helping people live healthier, happier lives. In her private life Alissa enjoys yoga, mountain biking, rock climbing, skiing and being in nature with her husband and twins.
