Within this framework, massage therapy serves as an extension of movement practice rather than a standalone service. Each session reflects the belief that the body responds best when guided gently toward balance, with techniques selected to address individual patterns of tension, stress and mobility. The result is a model of care that supports both relaxation and functional well-being.

Sessions focused on easing muscular tension and calming the nervous system play a central role in the center’s offerings. This work emphasizes relaxation and improved blood flow, supporting the body’s natural release of endorphins that contribute to a grounded and centered state. These sessions are provided by Matthew Slocum, whose intuitive approach adapts techniques to meet each client’s needs, whether the goal is deep relaxation or targeted tension relief.

Rhythmic movement assisted stretching and meditative touch define a style of bodywork that blends physical and energetic balance. Sessions may incorporate sound healing alongside Vedic Thai bodywork, a modality combining movement pressure and mindfulness to support full-body integration. This approach is offered by Nicole Kizlinski, whose work draws on both massage therapy training and sound healing certification.

Targeted techniques designed to unlock long-held tension and restore functional movement support individuals experiencing pain patterns that limit mobility. This work includes neuromuscular therapy, deep tissue techniques, assisted stretching, hot stone applications and cupping. These services are delivered by Iosif Trubin, whose professional dance background informs a precise and strength-based approach suited to active individuals and athletes.

Subtle positioning and guided movement encourage the body’s proprioceptive system to activate its own self-corrective responses. This gentle method allows tension patterns associated with pain to relax, reset and reorganize from within. These sessions are offered by Cathy Krenicky, a licensed massage therapist and ortho-bionomist.

Structural bodywork, CranioSacral Therapy and The Five-Second Pain Protocol are used to address sports injuries and persistent pain affecting the shoulders, back, knees, feet and head. For individuals suited to the protocol, pain may drop quickly or resolve entirely within seconds. These services are provided by Dan Putnam, who has worked with injury recovery and pain management since 1996.

Together, these offerings form an interconnected system of care that encourages clients to slow down, listen inward and move with greater ease. Many individuals find that combining massage therapy with Tai Chi Gung classes deepens relaxation and heightens body awareness over time. To make this approach accessible, Circle of Chi Wellness offers a complimentary Tai Chi Gung class to first-time registrants. Looking ahead, plans to develop additional wellness locations reflect a continued commitment to hands-on Tai Chi Gung and holistic services that prioritize peace, balance and long-term well-being.
