— Chyanne Westlake, Owner
Chyanne has a bachelor’s degree from Ball State University in Family and Child with a minor in psychology, she understands the importance of family systems and mental health in overall wellness and incorporates this wisdom into all of her work.
She is a licensed massage therapist and a certified personal trainer pulling on her background in fitness and dance to help people create healthy relationships with their bodies.
Chyanne is a certified Reiki Master, trained in Usui Reiki and understands that energy is also an important part of a client’s well-being. Although reiki is not a substitute for traditional mental health therapy or medical care it can be a great complimentary treatment.
Her most recent training is in Somatic therapy, completing a 60 hour certified course in Integrative Somatic Trauma Therapy and a 60 hour certified course in Somatic Attachment therapy. Body and energy workers hold space for such a wide range of issues for clients, she believes it is beneficial to have additional training to help meet these needs.
She is currently completing course work in religious trauma. Although religious traditions can be great stabilizers and guidance systems for many, when manipulation, control tactics, and abuse occur, the long lasting damage can be especially difficult for individuals to process. When the place that is supposed to save you and nurture your spirit destroys parts of you, it can be a confusing and lonely healing journey filled with shame.
Chyanne will always be respectful of the religious beliefs of individuals that are inclusive and empowering and do not include oppressing marginalized groups and weaponizing faith. She is skilled at holding space for those that have been harmed by their religious upbringings, while providing a safe healing environment.
