Integrative Healthcare & Wellness
A Place Where East Meets West offering:
Zen Shiatsu • Massage • Chinese Medicine • Reiki • Hypnosis
A Healing Place Springfield uses a variety of treatment techniques (Zen Shiatsu, Massage, Reiki, Hypnosis, and other adjunct therapies.) to assist you in achieving your goals of health and wellness. I treat musculoskeletal concerns such as acute injuries, chronic tension & pain, postural distortion or overuse injuries. I also address conditions such as digestive dysfunction, allergies and autoimmune conditions, sleep and energy level issues, among others. Furthermore, I excel in providing treatments that significantly enhance your state of relaxation and general well-being.
I am a licensed professional providing quality therapeutic treatment in a casual and relaxed atmosphere. A Healing Place's office is located in one of the several Lincoln-Era Italianate buildings in the Old Aristocracy Hill neighborhood of Springfield. I endeavor to allow extra time for each client and treat you like the quality person you are, not a number. So if you're tired of the corporate massage experience or the clinical atmosphere of a chiropractic office, where you are sometimes treated as a number, then you have found a better alternative at A Healing Place.
Integrative healthcare utilizes the best therapeutic options from conventional Western medicine, as well as holistic practices, also known as complementary therapies and healing practices. Examples of holistic practices include Shiatsu, herbal medicine, acupuncture, massage, biofeedback, hypnosis, yoga, meditation, and stress reduction techniques. It offers a broad approach to healing that is patient-centered and focuses on the whole person-mind, body, and spirit.

While you may be dealing with a specific health challenge, I don't forget about your whole body, mind, and spirit; as well as your values and passions in life. Health challenges can impact understandings of who we are and guide us to prioritize decisions in our lives. My practice can help your overall health and well-being, in addition to helping you deal with your specific health issue.
What is Integrative Medicine?
Many terms have been commonly used to describe this field over the past two decades. Alternative medicine was a term used to express approaches that were separate from conventional medicine. Complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) then became the preferred term, indicating a broad range of healing philosophies and approaches that were outside of conventional approaches but could be used as stand-alone alternatives or adjunctive approaches to conventional care. Integrative medicine is a newer term that emphasizes the integration of CAM approaches with conventional medicine, and is the term that is preferred by educational and governmental institutions.
Integrative Healthcare/CAM focuses on the whole person and includes physical, emotional, mental and spiritual health. For example, this includes mind-body medicine (such as shiatsu/acupressure, meditation, progressive relaxation, hypnosis) and manipulative and body-based practices (such as Shiatsu,massage therapy and spinal manipulation), and natural products (such as herbs and dietary supplements).
Who’s Using It?
The National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM) recently surveyed Americans on their use of complementary and alternative medicine. The survey, which gathered information from more than 20,000 adults and nearly 10,000 children, found that about 40 percent of adults and 12 percent of children use some form of complementary and alternative medicine. Even our 2016 American Olympians use CAM.
How I Can Help:
At A Healing Place I take a holistic approach and provide integrative healthcare for your needs. I believe that the whole person is made up of interdependent parts and if one part is not working properly, all the other parts will be affected. In this way, if people have imbalances (physical, emotional, or energetic) in their lives, it can negatively affect their overall health. I believe that the patient is a person, not a disease and that treatment involves addressing the cause of the condition, not just alleviating the symptoms. I can assist you with a variety of musculoskeletal concerns, anxiety, relaxation, digestive issues, PTSD, sports performance & recovery, and more. Please explore the pages here to see the treatments and services I offer and make an appointment today, either online, phone/text 217-416-7649 or email.

As physical beings when we allow ourselves to expand and relax our energy field, we begin to move away from physical and material concerns and back toward the world of Spirit and Energy, which is a basic component of all things. As we attune ourselves to this connection – to the balance of life – to the flow of energy -- and allow our ears, senses and hands to listen to our client’s needs, both to those areas that are tense and those that are empty, then we actually allow energy to not only flow but to be created within them. In this way we can work with the essential wholeness behind the physical and come back towards the source from which all things are created. - adapted from Beresford-Cook, Shiatsu: Theory and Practice.
