Gunjan is an experienced massage therapist, Reiki healer, and esthetician who has been working with clients for over 15 years. From a very young age, she has had a passion for helping others.

Her journey into the world of holistic healing began with Reiki, where everything instantly “clicked.” She immersed herself in training, attending weekly healing sessions with a Reiki master and eventually earning her Karuna Reiki Master certification.

Fueled by her passion for energy work and a deep desire to help others, Gunjan expanded her expertise to massage therapy. She studied under her guru in Mumbai, learning aromatherapy, facials, and massage techniques before refining her skills further and getting licensed in the U.S.

Gunjan believes in blending Eastern and Western healing traditions—combining the intuitive with the technical, the energetic with the physical, the “thinking” with the “feeling.” Her approach is rooted in love, intention, and a commitment to service. She sees healing as a two-way path: while she helps others release physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual tension, she also experiences profound personal growth through her work in helping others heal.

By integrating massage and esthetician services with healing energy and her homemade healing oils, Gunjan creates a deeply restorative experience that allows her clients to find balance, release, and renewal.

Elsa Guenther is a bodyworker (licensed massage therapist) and yoga teacher whose approach is to meet you where you are—physically, mentally & emotionally— in each new moment, and her work is anything but a typical massage. Elsa found bodywork as a client in 2015 when she suffered a painful rib and jaw injury while regularly wearing a corset in a theatrical production. The bodywork modality that helped Elsa to feel better than she had felt even before the injury and that profoundly changed her life for good was the John Barnes Myofascial Release (MFR) approach. Myofascial Release uses hands-on tools including compression and traction to help release fascial restrictions storing physical, mental and emotional tension/trauma. Years of receiving Barnes’ work and benefiting from releasing stuck body-mind patterns led Elsa to become a licensed massage therapist and Barnes MFR practitioner. She has been proudly offering this work professionally since 2019, and in the years since, Elsa has studied and now also offers Manual Lymphatic Drainage (Vodder method), Cranial Sacral Therapy (Milne approach) and Reiki. With these techniques, Elsa has been able to help people with a variety of concerns; from those who live with chronic pain or navigate chronic illness or cancer, to those with major past traumas or who have experienced car accidents, are pre or post-surgery to professional athletes, to those looking to relieve mold toxicity and more; Elsa is happy to treat and has experienced wonderful results treating nearly anyone with specific areas of pain or who just want to move and feel better. And as a mother, Elsa has a special place in her heart for working with expectant and postpartum mothers preparing/recovering from labor as well as babies healing from birth/navigating their milestones and growing children. Elsa is also a certified yoga instructor and has joyfully taught yoga in many places since 2014; While yoga has so much to offer, she loves the meditative movement most for the way it helps people to breathe better, be less reactive/more intentional and to move in community. She is forever learning and is continually grateful to be a part of so many healing journeys… every single one is important. Elsa believes that when we feel better in our bodies, we are better to ourselves and to each other, and that has extraordinary ripple effects.

Sandy’s mission is to guide and support you on your journey to holistic health and wellness.

With more than 23 years of hands-on healing experience, she blends a variety of spiritual and scientifically informed modalities—ranging from CranioSacral Therapy and Reiki to Crystal Healing, guided imagery, and insights from neuroplasticity research—to help you achieve harmony in every area of your life.

A Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) since childhood, Sandy has always been aware

of the subtle energies around her. Her own experiences healing from anxiety, depression, and chronic pain taught her that hope and healing are always possible—even if they don’t arrive in the same form for everyone. Because of this, Sandy believes in meeting each client exactly where they are, tailoring every session to individual needs.

What to Expect in a Session: You’ll lie fully clothed on a comfortable massage table while Sandy gently places her hands on different areas of your body (nothing awkward, promise!). Many clients like to set an intention for their session—whether that’s releasing old patterns, addressing specific concerns, or simply being open to whatever unfolds. The process is deeply relaxing, and people often experience relief they didn’t realize they needed until it naturally arises during the session.

Sandy is passionate about helping others and creating a safe, non-judgmental space where you can rediscover your inner light, tap into your body’s natural ability to heal, and leave feeling renewed—physically, emotionally, and spiritually.

Let’s walk this path together and reconnect with who you really are.

James Pedersen is a licensed acupuncturist and is board certified by the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM) and a member of the Illinois Association of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (ILAAOM). He graduated with honors from the Midwest College of Oriental Medicine in Chicago, which is one of the first established and accredited acupuncture colleges in the country.

Jim’s interest in Chinese Medicine began while studying the various martial arts of TaeKwon-Do, Tang Soo Do, Tai Chi, and Qi Gong. Watching many martial artists, including a few renown masters, control their energy, and the energy of others; Jim began to see the incredible power of the body, mind, and spirit. In Chinese Medicine, the body, mind, and spirit are at the core of healing. Jim has always been a believer in the body’s own capacity to heal and acupuncture proved to be an effective form of therapy that encouraged that natural healing process without negative side effects. After experiencing the powerful effects of acupuncture first hand, he decided to make a career change to become an acupuncturist in order help others experience the benefits of this incredible healing art.

The approach Jim uses in treating his patients is both individualistic and holistic. He carefully develops a clear, concise evaluation of each patient’s overall health by asking them questions, listening to them, watching them, and feeling their radial pulse. From this, a comprehensive treatment plan that addresses the presenting complaint and the root cause of the condition is developed. He uses not only acupuncture but also other traditional techniques within the scope of Chinese Medicine to effectively treat a wide range of conditions that stem from both physical and emotional imbalances. In addition, he believes in providing his patients with the necessary tools and information needed to take a proactive role in their own health. By counseling patients in diet, exercise, lifestyle, and awareness and relaxation techniques, effective and lasting results are achieved.

On a more personal note, Jim is the father of three incredible boys, and the husband of a loving wife who helps provide his strength and vision.

Libby Proctor is a Licensed Acupuncturist and nationally board-certified herbalist passionate about holistic health and wellness. She holds a Master of Science degree from Pacific College in Chicago, IL, and a Bachelor of Science degree from Northwestern University in Evanston, IL.

Libby’s journey into Chinese medicine began serendipitously when a gua sha treatment for a severe cold provided rapid and astonishing relief. This transformative experience reignited her passion for healing and revealed the missing piece she felt lacked in the current medical model — a holistic approach that aligns body, mind, and soul and an immediate sense of relief, wellness, and hope.

With over 15 years of diverse clinical experience, Libby has worked in a variety of settings, including Project Vida (a community health center in Chicago) and a leading Chicagoland rheumatology clinic. She also led her own private practice in Wicker Park before relocating to Virginia Beach to support her husband’s military career. There, she further honed her expertise while working at the Edgar Cayce Association for Research and Enlightenment and JenCare Senior Medical Center, a medical center serving seniors where she offered acupuncture to complement their medical care and taught Tai Chi to the patients.

Libby seamlessly bridges Eastern and Western healing paradigms, offering compassionate, individualized care that empowers her patients to achieve true wellness. In addition to acupuncture and herbal medicine, she integrates other modalities such as electrical stimulation, gua sha, moxibustion, mindfulness practices, breathwork, nutritional and lifestyle coaching, energy work, and other tools to help her patients achieve balance and lasting well-being.

A lifelong learner and dedicated healer, Libby is also a certified Reiki Master and practitioner of New Paradigm Multi-Dimensional Transformation (NPMDT). She is deeply inspired by personal and spiritual development work, creative expression, and the healing power of nature.

When she’s not in the clinic, Libby can be found exploring the outdoors, creating art, or sharing laughter and delicious meals with her family and friends. As a mom of three young children, she strives to bring empathy, wisdom, presence, and authenticity to every facet of her work and life.
