She also has received instruction in acupressure to reduce physical and mental discomfort.
She has worked alongside Chiropractors in Sioux Falls and Mitchell, SD as well as leading the Massage Therapy program at Avera McKennan Hospital's Prairie Cancer Center.After working in cancer centers, fitness centers, spa's and chiropractic clinics Selena opened The Massage Center in Mitchell, SD. With a passion for helping others she saw a need to continue her education in the area of Lymphedema Therapy eventually changing the name of her business to Massage and Wellness.
Having built a successful business in South Dakota her decision to relocate back to Ohio where she is originally from was bittersweet having made lasting connections with the clients in South Dakota.
The stories my clients have shared as I decided to move to Ohio were both rewarding and humbling. Not only are their lives forever changed, range of motion improved and pain reduced, they have become like family over the years as we have celebrated births, holidays, and occasions through stories and pictures, as well as provided a sacred space through their massage time for grieving the loss of loved ones. I would be blessed immeasurably if I can accomplish the same here in Ohio.
