My backstory

---

Integrative Health, NBC-HWC, CYT

Born and raised in Massachusetts, I've always found inspiration in the lessons nature has to offer. In 2014, I obtained my Massage Therapy License in Boston, MA and this truly ignited my voyage of self-discovery and innovation. After realizing a change of environment was due, I relocated to Colorado, aspiring to advance my career and enhance my mental well-being. In 2016, I immersed myself in the art of Rossiter, an extension of Ida Rolf's wisdom, and later embraced the serenity of yoga through a 200-hour Teacher Training in 2019. This journey of growth and self-discovery took another meaningful turn as I earned a National Board certification in Health and Wellness Coaching and acquired a degree in Integrative Health. 

Ever since grade school I have held a strong passion for wellness, nature, sports and movement. I have since dreamed of a way to incorporate all aspects of life inside and outside of work. To foster this, I have volunteered my time for various events, including sports massage for runners at the Boston Marathon (2014), A Run for Muscular Dystrophy at Gillette Stadium (2013), Pan-Mass Challenge Bike Race (2013), and The Golden Gran Fondo Bike Race (2016). 

Beyond the professional sphere, my life is a celebration of outdoor pursuits - from the invigorating embrace of mountain bike trails to the tranquil practice of yoga. Each adventure is shared with the loyal companionship of my four-legged friend.

In this canvas of life, painted with strokes of passion and purpose, I find immense joy in guiding others on their wellness journey.

My commitment to a wholesome life is deeply rooted in the insights gained from observing the dynamic shifts in generational health and my profound appreciation for the ancient practices of Eastern medicine. Rooted in my Ukrainian heritage, the values of nourishing meals and unwavering family support have been pillars shaping my journey. As the years unfolded, I discovered the profound significance of these values - where food transcends sustenance to become a healing elixir and positive support emerges as a catalyst for human development. This realization, grounded in scientific evidence, solidified my unwavering commitment to the principles of wellness.

With over a decade of experience in massage and bodywork, I've had the privilege of working in diverse health offices, allowing me to recognize and appreciate the impactful role of Western medicine. Yet, throughout my experience working with diverse cases, I've identified opportunities for both preventative care and immediate pain relief. My business, Sol-Strength, was founded on a longstanding vision aimed at enhancing the quality of life through heightened body awareness, comprehensive support, and strengthening. This involves fostering positive habits, enhancing mental and behavioral connections, imparting stress-reducing and self-care techniques for clients to integrate into their routines, offering deep tissue massage, sports recovery techniques, personal injury rehabilitation, and comprehensive Health and Wellness Coaching.

I pour my heart into encouraging clients, friends, and family to define purposeful intentions. My greatest strength is devoted to supporting each one on their unique journey toward wellness and balance.

Peace and Love,

Laryssa
