I’m Kelsey Duernberger, a Licensed Massage Therapist. I began my Massage Therapist training in 2017 at A Gathering Place Massage Therapy School and Clinic under the guidance of Cindy Goodnetter. I am passionate about making others feel the best in their bodies! I enjoy treating clients to a relaxing Swedish Massage when it’s time to unwind, and I also enjoy treating mothers-to-be to Prenatal Massage. I find my most gratifying work coming from Trigger Point Therapy. This work provides relief to chronic pain areas that have developed over time by using a combination of direct holding pressure and stretching techniques to the affected area.

Whether you are looking to relax and drift off, or need relief to your chronic pain areas, I will listen to you with intention and develop a custom treatment plan specific to your needs.

I became a Coaching the Body™ practitioner (CTB™) because my severe back/hip pain that was unsuccessfully treated with traditional medical techniques. I have a love of fitness and a fascination with functional body movement. Coaching the Body™ is a clinical treatment modality based on trigger point therapy and neuroscience that uses pain-hacking techniques to quickly restore muscle strength, function and pain-free movement. I am genuinely amazed and inspired by the effectiveness of this treatment in helping people out of acute and chronic pain. Many clients come to me with sciatica, SI joint dysfunction, hip pain, headaches, lower back pain, frozen shoulder and plantar fasciitis. Sessions are a minimum of 90 minutes in length and done fully clothed on a comfortable mat on the floor.

Treatment is very interactive between client and therapist and includes modalities such as vibrational distraction, electronic point stimulation and Post-isometric relaxation (PIR) muscle energy technique.

I am a Registered Nurse, Licensed Massage Therapist, Holistic Health Practitioner, Certified Biocraniopath, Level 3 Reiki Master, Level 4 Touch for Health Specialist and Certified YoMassage Instructor.

I began my career over 25 years ago as an Operating Room Nurse after graduating from Barnes Jewish Hospital of Nursing. It wasn’t until I began obtaining my Bachelor’s Degree in Nursing at McKendree University that my entire attitude on “healthcare” shifted. I took a transcultural nursing class that showed the many different alternatives to “medicine” as I knew it. I learned that there are many holistic ways to heal people, outside of western medicine. I started classes in holistic health immediately following my BSN. Additional areas in which I trained are: Massage and Bodywork through the Healing Arts Center, Biocraniopathy, Touch for Health, Reiki, Prana and YoMassage.

I specialize in energy work, Touch for Health, acupressure, trigger point release, myofascial release, Swedish, Shiatsu, deep tissue, cupping, reflexology, biocraniopathy and YoMassage. I am excited to help YOU find your own wellness within!
