ALICIA FRECKMANN - OWNER, LMT

Welcome to Back in Balance!

Alicia Freckmann is the proud owner of Back in Balance Therapeutic Massage Spa and has been Licensed in Massage Therapy since 2009.

My first love is my family, husband, 2 boys (Ayden and Ty), and our cats (Lexi and Lana)

My second love is for my clients whom I have been seeing since 2009 and have felt a strong connection with them ever since. My passion revolves around helping others treat their chronic pain and day to day stress.

My goal during your session is to minimize as much pain and muscle spasm/fatigue as possible through massage therapy.

From the moment you walk into our Spa to the very moment you walk out, we want you to feel welcomed, relaxed and rejuvenated.

I look forward to meeting you and helping you with your health goals!

 

 

 

Jodi, LMT

My journey began when I graduated from UW-Milwaukee with a BS in Occupational Therapy in 1995. In that role, I had worked in a variety of settings including a Rehabilitation Hospital in Scottsdale Arizona, Skilled Nursing Facilities (sub-acute and long-term health areas) in Milwaukee and Cedarburg and in the School System for MPS.

In Feb of 1997, I was lucky enough to marry my soulmate. After a few years, I decided to continue my education in the field of massage and bodywork, and I graduated from Utah College of Massage Therapy in 1999. At that point, I was fortunate enough to able to split my time between providing massage therapy in a multitude of settings including Spas, Chiropractic Offices, and Health and Wellness Centers while also working at Nicolet High School in a dual role: Occupational Therapist/Assistive Technologist.

I was blessed with a son in Jan of 2007 and another son in Jan of 2009. A few years later, I decided to focus solely on my massage career.

I am dedicated to supporting those who wish to take an active role in their own health and well-being. I feel blessed to be able to help guide others along their path to wellness!

 

 

 

 

Kayla, LMT

I graduated from Herzing University in 2015 and have been a licensed Massage Therapist at Back in Balance since 2017.

It is important to me that my clients feel comfortable and respected during their massage session with me. Communication is a very big part in massage, before the massage begins, I like to have a thorough consultation with my clients to make sure we are working towards your mental and physical goals.

I have a love for camping and the outdoors. My mom directed me into the massage field earlier in life when she reminded me of how I would go around the campfire giving shoulder massages to my family members. I fell in love with providing therapeutic massage quickly while I was in school and just knew this was the career for me.

I specialize in deep tissue massage and migraine related symptoms, as well as Swedish/relaxation massage. I am excited to keep exploring and expanding my knowledge in the field and I look forward to working with you.

 

 

 

 

 

Kellianne, LMT

I came to Milwaukee around 8 years ago to earn my BS in Occupational Therapy and graduated in 2017; after graduation I worked across the fields in behavioral and mental health.

While mental health advocacy is a large part of my life, I felt called to massage therapy and graduated in April 2021 from Everyday Bliss Institute for Holistic Wellbeing.

Throughout school I took an interest in cupping, connective/therapeutic work, aromatherapy, and prenatal massage; my hope is to blend physical and mental well-being throughout my practice.

In my free time I am an active aerialist (aerial silks) and rock-climbing enthusiast, if I’m not relaxing in the yard or watering my plants.

 

 

Karissa, LMT

Hiya! My name is Karissa.

I like to make people laugh to feel comfortable when they are in session with me. I believe that being a jokester, comedian or just overall funny helps break the ice with clients that are nervous for their session. To me laughter brings out our true self to connect with others. "A day without laughter is a day wasted" -Charlie Chaplin

I graduated in 2017 from Herzing University/Lakeside Massage Clinic with a year of clinical experience. From 2017 to present I have worked in different environments with massage, such as chiropractors, acupuncture, facial spas and holistic massage spas. Over the years I have developed my own technique for clients that are recovering from injuries to post surgeries. I also include styles of rehabilitation stretches to help increase more movement.

I am certified in deep tissue, lymphatic drainage, Swedish, hot stone, Himalayan hot stone, trigger point therapy and reflexology.

My main goal is to help you bring back that pep in your step and dance away your day pain free!

 

 

Nicole, LMT

Massage Therapy is both my profession and passion. It's so easy to get lost in the hectic, over scheduled lifestyles we are all accustomed to, and a large part of many people's day is helping take care of others. Don't forget to pause, take a deep breath and remind yourself that you can't take care of others if you don't take care of yourself first.

I enjoy helping clients find relief from pain and stress so they can live their life to the fullest. My goal is to work with each client to provide a customized treatment plan to help them reach both their short- and long-term goals. Whether you are looking for relaxation, relief from body aches and pains, calming, stress or anxiety, improved flexibility, healing from an injury or improving your overall well-being, I am here for you.

I graduated from Lakeside School of Massage Therapy in 2011. During my career, I have worked in a variety of spas and a health club which specialized in relaxation, wellness and sports massage. Some types of massage I specialize in are pain management, sports, oncology, cupping, prenatal, lymphatic, pediatric, hot stone and deep tissue.

I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, karate, traveling, ballroom dancing and downhill skiing. I look forward to the opportunity to help you feel like and be the best version of YOU.

Diane, LMT

I Started my wellness journey in 2005 as a rehabilitation aide/CNA. I wanted to work more into the field so in 2013 I received my Massage Therapy License through Wisconsin school of Massage Therapy.

As a Massage Therapist I have worked in Hospice, Oncology and alongside Chiropractors, Acupuncturists, Nurses, as well as physical and occupational therapists.

My Massage techniques are Swedish/Relaxation, Prenatal, Hot stone and Deep tissue.

I am a mother of two (now adult) amazing daughters. I enjoy sunny warm days, the ocean and walking with my dog "Bella".

 

 

 

 

 

Keren, LMT

I never thought my life would involve being a Massage Therapist, but after receiving my first massage I knew I had to. I finished Massage Therapy school in 2017 at Cortiva Institute in Illinois. On top of my Massage career, I decided to join the United States Air Force in 2018, starting a new 6-year journey.

Even still, I never wanted to stop pursuing Massage Therapy. I opened up my own practice in South Dakota where I was stationed. Now, after 6 years, I've decided to separate from the military and life brought me to Wisconsin.

I love seeing the relief of my clients and having a strong relationship that you build with them. I like to focus on relieving the current pain but also focus on things that may be the root of the problem. My specialty areas are Deep Tissue, Myofascial and Trigger point therapy. I am huge on communication and want my clients to have an amazing and consistent experience within my sessions. My promise to you is to put 100% of my focus and energy into every Massage stroke and technique and hope that my clients will see and feel that.
