TERRI
I have been fortunate enough to have a wonderful life of working in wellness modalities. I’ve spent the last 18 years working as a licensed technician and practice manager to improve the health of people and animals. While I understand the need for traditional medicine, I developed a keen interest in the holistic side of treatment. I believe that a balance between both practice methods is important, and thus my interest in holistic and prophylactic treatment was sparked.
​
​I am a certified colon hydrotherapist who graduated from the Wood Hygienic Institute​. I ​believe​ ​​wholeheartedly that colon hydrotherapy is a crucial part of a well-thought-out plan to stay healthy.
​I am also certified in the practice of JointYoga, which is a pain-free acupressure technique that offers an alternative to traditional chiropractic care.
​
In ​my spare time, ​I ​enjoy spending time with ​my husband and pets. ​I am also an avid equestrian and ​am often found participating in various horse-related sports.
​
​In December of 2015, I became the owner of Origins of Wellness!​

KRISTINE
Hi, I am Kristine and I will be your massage therapist today. A little bit of my background, I earned my B.A. in Communications Studies from the University of North Texas and my Massage Therapy license from Herzing University (formerly Lake Side Clinic). I have been practicing massage since 2013, however I have been giving massages to friends and family for many more years. I spent the beginning of my professional life in the Legal Field and while I worked both worlds in tandem for five years, I transitioned into massage full time in Summer 2018. I specialize in deep tissue and therapeutic massage techniques.
​
The reason I chose massage therapy is the feeling of being of value and the sense I made a positive impact in someone’s life. You will always see me with a smile on my face and offering someone a glass of water. (Drink more water!!) I believe that a positive attitude and having a sincere and loving spirit adds to the serenity to the massage experience. My wish for you is that after the massage, you feel better educated on your benefits of massage and increasing relief for days to come.
​
My hobbies include traveling, hiking, doing DIY projects and spending time with friends and family. Feel free to say “Hi!” if you see me on any of the beautiful trails in Wisconsin or simply stop by Origins of Wellness.
ALEX
Well hello there. I am Alex McCune, a 2013 graduate from Lakeside School of Massage Therapy. I am an active state licensed therapist and a proud member of AMTA. I am also a certified personal trainer. I’m just a laid-back guy who enjoys exercising, traveling, spending time with family, and hiking. I have a massage style that caters to you. I can adjust my pressure and techniques to your preference and offer some stretches to keep your body loose and pain free.
​
Similar to many other therapists, I have work experience in healthcare management. I formerly worked as a massage therapist alongside a neurological chiropractor and helped patients at a clinic that specialized in workers compensation claims & personal injuries. I used pain relief techniques to patients who suffered from whiplash, carpal tunnel syndrome, frozen shoulder, thoracic outlet syndrome, and herniated disks. I’m grateful for the healthcare experience that I have attained but my real passion is helping people feel better about themselves. Therapeutic massage allows me to help people not only look good but feel great!
​
I enjoy doing sports massage, aromatherapy, reflexology, myofascial release, trigger point therapy, deep tissue, and therapeutic massage. However, I am open to whatever modality you desire. Feel free to be vocal or just relax during your massage. Your experience will be led by your preference and I look forward to making that the most enjoyable for you.
AMANDA
Hi, my name is Amanda and I graduated from Anthem College in Brookfield, WI where I earned my certification for Massage Therapy. I have been a licensed massage therapist since 2013 and love what I do. My goal is to give my clients an experience where they are able to escape reality and let go of all the stresses of life when they are on my table. Having someone fall asleep and start snoring is one of the best compliments I can get.
Overall I would say my style consists of slow and flowing movements to help promote relaxation as well as help the client mentally escape the stresses of reality.
Although I enjoy doing relaxation the most, I also enjoy some deeper work including trigger point and muscle stripping for clients looking for pain relief.
Another part of the job I love is connecting with people and learning about them and the type of person they are. They are more than just a body on the table and I enjoy getting to know my clients. Some clients prefer to talk during sessions and others don't but I leave that completely up to them. For me it is a bonus to have the opportunity to get to know people and their unique personality.
When I'm not working I enjoy spending time with my Fiancé and his son. We love the outdoors and love having campfires on our own little beach in the backyard. My favorite part about going up north is seeing the stars at night. I also love taking photos whenever I have the time. When we aren't out, we are enjoying our home with our dog and three cats.

ABBY
Hello, I’m Abby! I’ve been Licensed as a Massage Therapist since September 2020. I graduated from Aveda - the Institute of Beauty and Wellness.
​
I enjoy connecting with my clients energetically, so I may better understand their body’s needs. I do this through deep breathing and observing the body’s subtle movements and vibrations as I work.
​
I feel for cold and hot spots that may be indicators of blood flow constrictions or high stress areas. I have a knack for finding all the little tension and stress points of the body and understanding of how tissue should feel.
My pressure ranges from light-firm and my specialty is working the hips and glutes.

Alongside enjoying time with my boyfriend Jon, our 3 sons and other family/friends, a few of the hobbies I enjoy include hiking, gaming and crafting items such as t-shirts and tumblers.

​
I have been an office dog my whole life, with a former career as a greeter at a veterinary clinic.
I also have double duty as security manager and will occasionally forget I'm supposed to be quiet and bark at other dogs! Sorry!
