Q&A with Kylie Dolphin
Q. How long have you been a massage therapist?
A. Since 2018.
Q. What areas do you specialize in?
A. While I don’t have a specific specialization, I am trained in Swedish/relaxation massage to give patients a dreamy relaxing experience and deep tissue/ sports massage for those more persistent muscle pains and troubles. I am also trained in a Chakra balancing massage, and Reiki 1.
Q. What brought you to your current style of practice?
A. I am no stranger to the positive effects a massage can have on a person’s entire wellbeing and I knew from the beginning of my massage therapy journey that helping others feel well not only physically but also emotionally and mentally would be my number one goal. My practice is just as focused on the body as it is on the mind.
Q. What can a new patient expect?
A. The team of massage therapists at INVIVO is amazing and you are in good hands! I hope you come in with an open mind and feel comfortable to communicate any concerns or questions you may have. We are here to make you feel as at ease as possible!
Q. What recent trends have you found most noteworthy?
One of my instructors at school was a big fan of cupping and I have definitely enjoyed using cups in my services. They allow the therapist to get a good hold on “trouble spots” in the muscles and are super effective!
Q. What are your current personal wellness goals and how are you addressing them?
A. I’m an introvert by nature, so I’m trying to get better at carving out some personal time each weekend to care for myself. Sometimes that’s by going on a walk, meditating, or journaling, and sometimes it’s sitting down and watching Netflix. Empath-exhaustion is a real thing, so it’s important to care for yourself just as much as you care for others!
Q. What is your favorite beautiful spot in Milwaukee?
A. Anywhere in Milwaukee when it’s snowing. I’m in love with falling snow and no one can tell me any different! And the land out behind Invivo. It’s brought me many zen moments and is one of my favorite places to go for a little walk.
Q. What is your favorite place to eat in Milwaukee?
A. Oh there’s so many…Comet Café, Chicken Palace, La Masa, anywhere at the Public Market….I could go on.
Q. What are your top three favorite things to do/hobbies?
A. 1. I love dogs more than most things. So petting dogs, playing with dogs, looking at dogs on Youtube…that definitely counts as a hobby.
2. Crafting! Also the one I do the least, but when I can sit down and dedicate some time to making something beautiful, I’m happy.
3. Music. I have music playing pretty much all the time and would drop everything to see a favorite band in concert.
Q. What do you do to de-stress?
A. I love to nap when I’m stressed out. If I can’t nap, I try to listen to some favorite music, or pet a dog…it’s been proven to help!

Massage Therapist
Jacob (Jake) Eich is passionate of all things Human Performance along with Health and Wellness.
He has been passionately practicing massage therapy for several years. He’s developed a unique/direct style of dealing with primarily chronic pain issues, injury prevention, injury recovery and overall relaxation and well-being.
Jake specializes in the use of deep-tissue, trigger-point, and Swedish (relaxing) massage techniques. Each session with Jake is specifically tailored to the client’s needs on that specific day to ensure the client is getting the most out of each minute in the session.
Jake was first introduced to the benefits of massage therapy in high school by a coach of his who was also a licensed Massage Therapist. He learned about the importance of consistent self bodywork/maintenance in order to not only perform his best but feel his best as well.
Taking this knowledge and expanding it throughout the next four years while working on his undergraduate in Exercise Science, Jake was able to put his knowledge of massage to use. During his collegiate wrestling career, he not only worked on himself but helped his teammates as well to keep them healthy throughout the season.
Jake holds a bachelor’s degree in Exercise Science from The State University of New York (SUNY – Cortland) in Cortland, New York.
After graduating with his bachelor’s degree, Jake went to the Onondaga School of Therapeutic Massage located in Syracuse, New York (his hometown) where he went on to become a Licensed Massage Therapist.
Jake also holds a Personal Training Certification – Functional Training Specialist from NESTA (National Exercise and Sports Trainers Association).
Jake is excited to bring his knowledge of not only massage but all things health and wellness to INVIVO. He consistently ensures friendly and open communication with each client. This way, he is able to get to the root cause of the issues presented and to best serve each client.
Q&A with Jake Eich
Q. How long have you been a massage therapist?
A. Formally, I have been a Massage therapist since 2019. But I’ve been studying and practicing massage since high school.
Q. What areas do you specialize in?
A. I specialize in helping those with chronic pain utilizing deep tissue, trigger point, and Swedish techniques.
Q. What brought you to your current style of practice?
A. Being an athlete, I understand just how much chronic pain can affect and inhibit someone from living their lives to the fullest. I’ve spent nearly half a decade finding root causes. And over time, I’ve corrected injuries and pains in not only myself but those around me. My goal is to share that knowledge with each of my clients.
Q. What can a new client expect?
A. A new client can expect a high-quality, customized massage therapy session based of their individual needs for that specific day.
I value open communication throughout the session to allow the client to fully get the most out of their time. We will work as a team in order to best serve the client the best way.
Attention to detail is something I value in order to best serve the clientele. Everything I do will have a purpose. I make sure each of my clients gets the most out of each session possible.
Q.What recent industry trends have you found most noteworthy?
A. I wouldn’t say this “trend” is directly related to massage but it is definitely related to overall health and well-being. There is research being done into the gut microbiome and the roles it plays in the human body. It has been called the “second brain” and plays an incredibly important role in the body functioning optimally.
Q. What are your current personal wellness goals and how are you addressing them?
A. My personal wellness goals are a lot more mental than physical. Physical fitness isn’t just a hobby for me it is a lifestyle. I think with that needs to include training my mind as well, in order to fully be my best. Breath work, meditation, self-reflection, being present in the moment are just some things I am currently working on.
Q. What is your favorite beautiful spot in Milwaukee?
A. My favorite spot is actually out near Madison – Devil’s Lake State Park! I had the opportunity to go there three times during the fall of 2020 and loved it more each time.
Q. What is your favorite place to eat in Milwaukee?
A. Great Question! My favorite place to go eat currently is Wings Over Milwaukee (because I love chicken wings). But I also to Kopps for the frozen custard!
Q. What are your top three favorite things to do/hobbies?
A. In my free time, I do MMA (Mixed Martial Arts) training. For me, this encompasses wrestling, jiu-jitsu, kickboxing, etc.
Q. What do you do to de-stress?
A. I think being able to successfully de-stress plays a huge role in staying healthy not only physically but mentally. For me, I typically like to meditate or go for a short walk in order to gather my thoughts and snap back to the present moment.

Q&A with Jamie L. Emmons
Q. How long have you been a massage therapist?
A. I have been a Licensed Massage Therapist since the beginning of 2015. I studied at the Milwaukee School of Massage.
Q. What areas do you specialize in?
A. Currenlty, my massage work is intuitively-detailed Deep Tissue and peacefully-paced Swedish Relaxation.
Q. What brought you to your current style of practice?
A. As a visual-spatial learner, I experience bodywork in a 3D sculptural sense. This heightens my ability to detect subtleties in my client’s physiology that contributes to their physical and emotional imbalances.
My unique perspective also helps me see the interconnection of the entire system to address my clients concerns with a 360-degree approach that has longer lasting results.
Q. What can a new patient expect?
A. All future clients can expect me to provide high-quality, customized attention to their unique needs and desires for each and every session.

I take extensive notes so that all my return clients feel heard and respected. This also ensures that the majority of your session time will be hands-on time.
Q. What recent industry trends have you found most noteworthy?
A. Not sure if this counts as a “trend” but I’ve been very excited about all the new discoveries being made in the subject of New Science. Especially in relation to the science behind people’s spontaneous remissions.
Being able to share the information behind Self Awareness, Epigenetics and Psycho-Neuro-Immunology and apply it to myself, is a big passion of mine. Our relationship to our environment and how our perceptions affect our biology is fascinating.
Q. What are your current personal wellness goals and how are you addressing them?
A. I have a strong desire to incorporate more free flow movement into my life to help me maintain flexibility and circulation. I believe that it’s integral for us to take time to move our bodies in different ways so that we are not poorly conditioning ours bodies and minds with stagnant and repetitive lifestyles.
I want to attempt to either jog, speed walk, or dance every day with my regular stretching routines to meet that expectation. I also hope to attend classes at INVIVO to promote my personal wellness and be more aware of our wellness center’s full operation.
Q. What is your favorite beautiful spot in Milwaukee?
A. Tricky Question… Doctors Park? The Art Museum? Views of downtown all lit up at night =)
Q. What are your top three favorite things to do/hobbies?
A. Paint with Acrylic on Canvas. Research and write about things that could help evolve the human species. Travel to Transformational Festivals and visit National Parks.
Q. What do you do to de-stress?
A. I try my best to have almost everything I do be de-stressing.
I’ve noticed that when I paint, meditate, see friends and family and have my clients walk away happy regularly is when I feel most balanced.

Kim Johnson - LMT
LMT
Massage Therapist
Kim Johnson has always had a passion and curiosity for the body and how it moves, connects to the mind, expresses, and heals.
Originally, she planned to attend college for nursing because of her desire to help others and be involved in the healthcare field. She chose to study dance after her health occupations teacher encouraged her to try “the dance thing” first, since one could always go back for nursing. Kim graduated with high honors with a BFA in dance from UW-Milwaukee Peck School of the Arts in 2000.
Since graduating from college, she has been a dance performer, choreographer, instructor, and administrator in the Milwaukee area at organizations including Danceworks, UW-Milwaukee Dance Department, and Milwaukee Ballet School & Academy.
She loves to teach all ages and makes sure to look at each student’s anatomy and capabilities to provide instruction, imagery, and corrections individual to the person. She understands the power of movement, touch, and community and uses it to create a welcoming and inclusive environment for her students to thrive. She is also Pilates Mat Certified.
Kim’s love of anatomy, movement, and helping people along their wellness journey led her to massage therapy in 2019. Her desire to work in the healthcare field had found its path back into her career life. The way that massage has connected to her years of dance experience has been a beautiful marriage that she truly can’t wait to share with her clients.
Kim specializes in Swedish Relaxation Massage and loves to combine the different styles she’s been trained in to customize a unique session for each client striving to meet their therapeutic goals.
Q&A with Kim Johnson
Q. How long have you been a massage therapist?
A. I graduated from the Blue Sky School of Professional Massage and Therapeutic Bodywork’s 850-hour Medical Intensive Track Program in 2020.
Q. What areas do you specialize in?
A. Although I was trained in various massage therapy modalities, currently, I specialize in Swedish Relaxation massage.
If there is a specific pain or area that needs to be addressed, I like to add Neuromuscular Therapy into the session.
I enjoy borrowing from different styles and combining them together to best serve the client. I look forward to continuing my education to increase my repertoire.
Q. What brought you to your current style of practice?
A. After 20 years on stage and living out the moto, “The show must go on!,” I know all too well the toll that physical exertion has on a person’s body and mind. I decided to attend school for massage therapy not only to satisfy my curiosity and passion about anatomy and kinesiology, but also to be an advocate for self care in the dance community, and community at large.
In my first month of school, I realized that a rhythmic and soothing modality, such as Swedish Relaxation Massage, uses the same concepts of flow, intention, weight share, listening, and intuition as dance does.
My massage style uses soothing and flowing relaxation strokes to increase circulation, physical vitality, and initiate the parasympathetic system so that even if specific areas are needing held compression to address pain, the nervous system is in a state to relax and repair both body and mind.
Massage has truly allowed me to find a new way to move, in addition to serving another in hopes of helping them live a better life. These two aspects have always been what I’m most passionate about and called to do in my career. It’s my true hope that one will be able to feel this during their session.
Q. What can a new client expect?
A. A new client can expect an environment that is welcoming, professional, tranquil, caring, and client based.
Our bodies feel different every day and what we need does as well. The goals for the massage session will be established by truly listening to the client, making every massage customized to suit where they are that day. Detailed notes and follow up will be recorded after each session, allowing for consistent restricted muscular patterns to be learned in order to treat efficiently and effectively.
Q.What recent industry trends have you found most noteworthy?
A. Anxiety is said to be the health epidemic of the 21st century. Studies show that it is up 1200% in the last 3 decades. Unfortunately, this number is only rising. People are in pain, physically, mentally, and emotionally. Mayo Clinic studies show that a single massage session can lower the stress hormone, cortisol, by 30%. After 12 weeks of regular massage sessions, anxiety symptoms can be reduced by 50%.
Q. What are your current personal wellness goals and how are you addressing them?
A. I currently have two wellness goals. The first goal is to be more mindful throughout the day in order to be present for others and myself. Secondly, I’m committed to addressing physical needs as they present themselves instead of waiting until they become problematic and restrictive. I’ve started to balance physical activities, such as dance and cross-training with regular massages and meditation.
Q. What is your favorite beautiful spot in Milwaukee?
A. There are so many, but if I had to choose one, I’d say Seminary Woods. Growing up in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, a walk in the forest was a weekly thing I didn’t think was very unique. Although I now live in the city, I love that I can drive just a few miles from my house and be surrounded by trees and nature.
Q. What is your favorite place to eat in Milwaukee?
A. My brain hurts a little right now trying to narrow it down to one….I’m going with Beans and Barley. I’ve been a vegetarian since 1995 and it was one of the first restaurants I ever went to when I first moved to Milwaukee. I couldn’t believe there was a place where I had more than a house salad or grilled cheese to pick from!
Q. What are your top three favorite things to do/hobbies?
A. 1.)Spending time with my best friend and husband, Jon. It doesn’t matter if we are grocery shopping, or out for a fancy date, it’s always a good time. 2) I love to move, so dance or somatics practices are my go to.
3) Being outside. It doesn’t matter if it’s 100 degrees, or below 0, I enjoy moving through whatever outdoor environment I’m in. I guess this comes from having dogs that need to be walked every day. It’s become just as much a part of my daily ritual as it is theirs.
Q. What do you do to de-stress?
A. It depends on what kind of stress it is, but my go-to practices are – take a dance or Pilates class, guided breathing meditations, cleaning and organizing my house, or walking outside, especially in a forested area.

Q&A with Heather Kaster
Q. How long have you been a massage therapist?
A. Since October 2006.
Q. What areas do you specialize in?
A. Swedish to increase circulation throughout the body, relaxation while being affectively therapeutic, deep tissue and sports massage to open up acute or chronically tight muscles. I am also certified in Prenatal massage.
Q. What brought you to your current style of practice?
A. I am extremely interested in the mind-body emotional-physical connections. In my opinion our bodies reflect not only our common postures but also how we react to life events big and small. I want to help people change for the better and how I massage is a reflection of that.
Q. What can a new patient expect?
A. I enjoy being purposeful during every massage with my movements and depth of pressure. I feel what sensations the muscles or limbs respond to and change my massage accordingly. I am a person who likes to puzzle solve and notice things that might not jump out as a direct factor in how someone feels. I look at the whole client then concentrate on their needs. Clients should expect to feel comfortable, respected, and have their needs addressed. I am quiet during the session if you are but I will talk the whole time if you want, too!
Q. What recent industry trends have you found most noteworthy?
A. The balance between wanting to give great discounts to make massage more accessable and not giving too much of yourself away as a healer. It has always been a personal issue to recognize for myself but it’s all over now which is interesting to see what others say about their experiences.
Q. What are your current personal wellness goals and how are you addressing them?
A. I have never been very active or driven so I need to work towards being more. I know if I don’t move it I’ll lose it and I am way too young for that! I want to bike to Invivo and back more often starting in spring. My dog loves to run on trails so I want to make that a more regular event too!
Q. What is your favorite beautiful spot in Milwaukee?
A. Blu at the 23rd floor of the Pfister at night when it’s snowing… And, actually, the westward view from Invivo is pretty amazing on many days – and especially when the sun is setting.
Q. What is your favorite place to eat in Milwaukee?
A. Too many to choose from!!! I really miss Nanakusa for sushi but I’ll say that Cafe Corazón has an amazing vegetarian ensalada that I always top with extra avacado.
Q. What are your top three favorite things to do/hobbies?
A. I could walk for hours (in the summertime). I’m starting to get more and more into cooking. I should really get back to painting now that I have more space to spread out…
Q. What do you do to de-stress?
A. I eat! Hahaha, but also I try really hard to recognize the little things in the moments of each day- like my pets doing something silly, or the sunshine on my cheeks. I breathe into that and exhale the stress I was holding on to…. Mmmm… Let go…

Q. What do you do to de-stress?
A. When I am stressed, I make myself an herbal tea, sit in a cozy spot, and listen to music while I focus on my breath, inhaling the steam of the tea. Dancing is also helpful in clearing my mind and releasing excess energy.

Q&A with Tori Seiter
Q. How long have you been a massage therapist?
A. When people ask me how long have I been a massage therapist, I always say, “my whole life.” My mother was also a massage therapist so it has always been part of my life. Only, when I was little I was so ticklish that she could only work on my arms, back and head! But, legitimately about 6 years.
Q. What areas do you specialize in?
A. I tend to specialize in deeper work with a focus on chronic issues/pain. I recently became certified in Thai bodywork, a completely new way to approach the body that enables the client to remain clothed. Thai is done on the floor and incorporates holds and stretches that work ‘sen’ lines to release stagnant energy while moving the clients body into different stretches.
Q. What brought you to your current style of practice?
A. After years of being able to work on people I have found that I like being the person they come to for help. I enjoy a relaxing massage as much as the next person but I get a real sense of accomplishment when a client has great results from a specific problem.
Q. What can a new patient expect?
A. I would like a new client to come in with an open mind and confidence knowing that wether you have an issue or just want to let it all go you are in good hands. We have such a great team of people that work towards a common goal in our own unique way.
Q. What recent industry trends have you found most noteworthy?
A. The massage industry has been growing in popularity and acceptance across the board. People are looking for niche areas such as myofascial release, ayurvedic and Thai bodywork. If you haven’t heard of these yet, you will!
Q. What are your current personal wellness goals and how are you addressing them?
A. My own personal wellness goals encompass everything from improving my own practice, to where I buy my food, to daily reflections, to my ‘sweat a day’ goal. I like to consider myself a local-vor and a farmers market junkie. If I don’t grow it in my own garden you can find me at the South Shore farmers market in the summer and St Annes Center in the winter. And massage! I make it a point to get on someone’s table at least once a month. Every time I am reminded how much I love that this is what I do.
Q. What is your favorite beautiful spot in Milwaukee?
A. Milwaukee offers so many special spots! My favorite is in the morning with my dog along the lake’s south shore. Oh, and my own backyard.
Q. What is your favorite place to eat in Milwaukee?
A. As for eateries, wow. I could not name just one. If you would ask me to go to an Applebees type place I would stare blankly at you. I love to support the local restaurants. Between family and friends I feel I am constantly discovering new exciting places. Tenutas, Pastiche, Honeypie, LuLus, Centraal, Guatajatos, Demarinis (the brothers) in Bay View never disapoint. I love Roots. And the Milwaukee Public market has something for everyone!
Q. What are your top three favorite things to do/hobbies?
A. In my free time I love getting books from the library, painting, and working on my home.

Massage Therapist

Charisma Townsend is a psychology student who fell in love with living a holistic way of life. I’m human and this isn’t the easiest for me because it wasn’t how I was raised. But everyday I get up and I strive to be better and to be healthier then I was yesterday.
Massage Therapy is art. It is essential to life. Something so simple – massage aides your body in its own self-healing process. The power of touch can be healing or destructive. I aim to remind people that it was meant for healing. Everyday, massage teaches me something new. Through my hands, I push that knowledge.
