We are located in the Integrated Wellness space of Monarch Chiropractic in Wales, WI - making it convenient to schedule a session before or after a chiropractic visit. Our approach blends therapeutic care with an integrative perspective to support pain relief, recovery, and overall wellness - supporting your body’s natural capacity for healing, restoration, and long-term change.

Explore all service options , book an appointment by Therapist Tier , by preferred Modality , or, if you’re unsure which session is right for you, schedule a complimentary 30-minute discovery consultation.

Experience the unrushed difference – where every minute belongs to you.

Most massage therapy practices book clients back-to-back and use 10 minutes of your session for transition and room resets. We do things differently!

More Minutes, More Value

We block at least 15 minutes between every client to make sure you get every minute you actually paid for.

A Relaxed Transition

Our 15-minute buffer means you aren’t being rushed out the door. You can enjoy time resting on the Biomat before transitioning back to standing.

Timely Documentation

Your Therapist uses the break to record detailed notes while the session is still fresh in their mind, ensuring your long-term progress is tracked with precision.

Sustainable Care

By eliminating back-to-back “power hours,” we prevent therapist burnout. A rested, present provider ensures you receive their best energy and focus every time.

You get more treatment, more focus, and a higher level of care.

Therapy Tiers

Our practice offers two tiers of massage and manual therapy, allowing you to choose the experience, treatment style and price point that best fits your needs.

Whether you're looking for focused therapeutic work to address muscle tension or a more specialized manual therapy or bodywork session, both therapists are licensed professionals committed to providing thoughtful, high-quality care.

Tier 1

Therapeutic massage

Tier 1 sessions are provided by Heather, a licensed massage therapist offering focused therapeutic massage at an accessible price point.

These sessions are ideal for clients seeking muscle tension relief, relaxation, and supportive bodywork before or after chiropractic care. Techniques may include therapeutic deep tissue massage, Swedish massage, and targeted work for areas of discomfort or tension.

Tier 1 sessions are available in a variety of session lengths and do not require a 2-hour initial intake and evaluation, making them a flexible option for regular care or shorter appointments.

Gratuity is not included in Tier 1 pricing and may be offered at your discretion.

Tier 2

Specialized
Manual Therapy

Tier 2 sessions are provided by Alissa, who brings extensive experience and advanced training in specialized manual therapy and bodywork modalities.

These sessions focus on deeper therapeutic work, complex conditions, finding and treating the root cause of tension/pain, and supporting your body’s natural capacity for healing.

New clients scheduling Tier 2 services should book a 2-hour initial visit, allowing adequate time for consultation, assessment, postural evaluation and a treatment session tailored to your body’s needs.

Gratuity is included in Tier 2 pricing, creating a transparent, all-inclusive rate, and ensuring the entire amount qualifies for HSA/FSA for those with a letter of medical necessity from their chiropractor or physician.
