Ali Mischke, Advanced Structural Integrator, Registered Yoga Teacher
2464 Massachusetts Avenue, Suite 315A, Cambridge, MA 02140 United States • 617-257-6857• ali.mischke@yahoo.com
Ali offers intelligent body therapy for healthy posture and lasting pain relief. Structural integration is a system of deep-tissue bodywork and movement re-education. Based on the pioneering work of Dr. Ida Rolf, structural integration brings about lasting improvement to your posture, your movement, and your ability to adapt to the changing demands of daily life. Structural integration seeks root causes, rather than addressing symptoms. Our habits and hobbies, past injuries, surgeries and emotional stresses all affect how we stand, sit and move. Over time, we develop body-wide patterns of compensation that create chronic discomfort, make us prone to injury, and guzzle energy just to hold ourselves up against gravity. Ali addresses restriction in the fascia (the connective tissue that holds every cell together), nerves, arteries, and sometimes organs to unwind global patterns that contribute to the symptoms you are experiencing. As your body recovers its natural length, freedom and balance through manual therapy, Ali guides you through simple awareness exercises that help you use and maintain that newfound freedom.

Reflexology is a non-invasive, complementary health practice that involves alternating thumb and finger techniques on the feet, and is based on the principle that there are reflex areas on both feet that correspond to all the glands, organs, and parts of the body. A session lasting 50 minutes facilitates deep relaxation, improves blood supply, promotes unblocking of nerve impulses, and helps bring the body systems back into balance. With my portable recliner, I can make house visits or offer sessions at Blue Lotus Reflexology in Medford. Christal is a certified reflexologist trained in the Ingham Method of Reflexology. She is also proficient in Thai-style foot reflexology and was certified at the Wat Po Traditional Medical School in Bangkok, Thailand.

Mo Katz-Christy, Clinical Herbalist
66A Elm St, Cambridge, MA 02140 • mkatzchristy@gmail.com
Our bodies have an inherent capacity to heal, and I help clients find the right herbs to support that capacity. While I support clients with any health conditions, I work primarily at the intersection of emotional and gut health — when mood is affecting gut health and vice versa. This brain-gut connection can show up through a wide variety of symptoms, such as acid reflux when stressed, or blood sugar spikes and crashes. I support clients in improving the communication between these two systems so that the whole person can thrive.
