Welcome! I’m Dr. Rick Schlussel. My patients call me "Dr. Rick". Your body has the innate ability to heal itself and my job is to remove the obstacles that are in the way of your healing. I work with you, based on your goals, to create and implement customized treatments to restore and maintain your vibrant health. I invite you to meet with me, step into your own healing power, live pain free, and experience optimal health and well being.

Modalities: Massage
ANNIE MELLAN, CMT
The intention of my work is to facilitate clients to feel and understand their bodies in new ways. My intuitive, therapeutic massage draws from Swedish, Deep Tissue, Thai Massage, and Craniosacral. My style is deep yet nurturing. More than merely applying strokes or techniques, the quality of my touch is paramount. I aim for a present, receptive, caring touch that in turn informs the strategies and outcomes of each session. Often what we do is not as important as how we do it. I truly love this work. Bodywork continually challenges me to expand the receptivity and awareness of my own body. I offer both full-body and specific focus sessions, as well as Hot Stone Massage. Whether you’re seeking a relaxing, restorative massage or a deep, therapeutic session, I look forward to working with you.

PAM BLANKENSHIP, ESTHETICIAN
As I look back on why I started my esthetics journey, I realized that I have always struggled with acne. I went into school with a mindset to help others with the same skin condition as I had growing up. I specialize in acne, fine lines and wrinkles with corrective maintenance. I also specialize in waxing all areas of the body.
