 Licensed Esthetician

Hello, My name is Erika. I’m 29 years old. I graduated from Douglas J Aveda Institute in Esthiology in 2015 with honors. My goal and happiness comes from making people feel as relaxed as possible, and helping them with their skin. I truly enjoy what I do. I’m the ultimate animal lover. And I love to cook! 

Licensed Esthetician 

My name is Karen. I am excited to be part of the Massage & Wellness team. I’ve been a licensed Esthetician since 2007 and have experience in medical spa treatments, Beauty & Cosmetics, Health & Wellness and more. In my spare time I enjoy learning new things, helping others, trying new recipes, traveling, snuggling with my Yorkie (Baby) and my cat (Tiggy) and being a mom to my beautiful daughter Brooklynn. I’m looking forward to helping the clients at Massage & Wellness improve their overall wellness through our current variety of stress reducing treatments and the ones to be added in the near future!

Adelaida, a Phi Theta Kappa student at LLC, has practiced massage therapy for over 31 years right here in Lansing, MI. She completed her Certificate in Massage Therapy Program at Lansing Community College in 1991. She then earned her Graduated Diploma as a Therapeutic Massage Technician from the Health Enrichment Center in Lapeer, MI.

           When beginning massage, Ada  was privileged to work under the tutelage of 2 clinicians. They supported and trained her professionally in massage therapy which she is so grateful for. 

           Ada specializes in connective tissue work and is willing to work with clients/caregivers as needed for the welfare of the clients. Her techniques are grounded and tailored to client’s needs. Ada thoroughly communicates with all of her clients to ensure they are getting the exact work they need to heal, rather than just working on mere assumptions. Ada also has experience practicing massage with young children and geriatric clients. 

She has trained with therapeutic touch 1 & 2 by Delores Kreger to perform neuromuscular therapy, muscular energy technique, and target trigger points to help you heal. Her services include: Deep Tissue Massage, Swedish Massage, Sports Massage, Pre-natal Massage, and Hot Stone Massage.

When she is not working Ada enjoys reading, going on walks, and spending time with friends. She loves nature and parks.

Licensed Massage Therapist

Hello!  My name is Ichika and I've been a massage therapist since 2010.  This work has been so very rewarding for me.  I've had clients tell me that they get so much relief from the massage and it makes me so happy that they feel better.  I love helping people.  I do both relaxing Swedish massage, as well as deep tissue and clinical massage.  I also do prenatal and hot stone massage.  I recently moved here from New Jersey and have worked at many high-end spas in New York and New Jersey.

Certified Holistic Self Care Coach

Hi! I am Suzi and I am a Certified Holistic Self Care Coach. I have been interested in health and wellness since day 1 and it has always been a passion of mine. I was lucky enough to have parents that were interested in health and fitness when it really wasn't the cool thing to do! I remember visiting health food stores as a kid and I ran my first 2 mile race at age 7. I have been a collegiate athlete, personal fitness trainer, Insanity bootcamp instructor, yoga teacher, raw vegan chef and teacher, and more. My son is a childhood cancer survivor and that gave me an extensive nutrition, superfoods and immune building background. I can help you set goals for yourself and figure out what kinds of daily habits you need to add in to reach your goals. It is my passion to see people become the healthiest version of themselves both body and mind.
