Body Work and Massage Modalities

With Aubrey

Aubrey is certified in an exclusive, highly specialized form of massage practiced by only a handful in the U.S. It’s a closed practice—while anyone can receive the work, only hand-selected individuals can become practitioners and it takes several years to complete training. As practitioners are rare, those like Aubrey are in high demand.

I have multiple children. That is reason and explanation enough for needing a massage. I went to Aubrey and I am so glad that I did. She was more attentive and noticed things that no one I’ve ever seen for massage has ever noticed. There was no pain at all. I left feeling like melting jello. Will definitely be back again.
I’m on baby # 2 so it’s safe to say the Pre-Pregnancy body work really works. We’d been trying for 3 years and nothing. I saw Aubrey after hearing about her from a friend. She found a lot of stored trauma in my hips. I was exhausted after the session. The next day my whole body felt amazing. I forgot my body used to feel this good. And it’s not scientific proof but I had a positive test 25 days later. And I highly recommend the post partum body work as well! I felt like I’ve been run over by a train afterward. And Aubrey released all that as well. Can’t recommend her highly enough! Vicki P.
I’ve missed having someone to play with since elementary school. I thought it might be weird, but it feels safe and healing. Come play dolls here, you won’t regret it. It was great getting to be a kid again!

You get the best of the best at a fraction of the cost. Sadly Aubrey does prove that the rich get much better healthcare. She should know, most of them are her clients. She told me things about myself that my doctor never once mentioned to me. But when I questioned, my doctor admitted oh yes, you have that, but so do a lot of women. A very serious pregnancy related issue and not one word to me! That said, you cannot get better trauma or body work than with Aubrey. She grew up steeped in the best industry and medical secrets, but also parts of the country with a lot of trauma violence and natural disasters, which is probably why she’s freakishly good at trauma work. -Anna C.

I came to Aubrey after a death in the family. But I didn’t realize at the time that was the real reason behind the physical issues I was having. It had been over a year, but the emotions I hadn’t processed were the cause of why I was suddenly having weird physical issues. After seeing her, I felt like a new person. I haven’t had any physical complaints since.
I came in for muscle tension after a stage performance I’d done earlier in the year. There was no physical reason, I didn’t have the set fall on me. She taught me things about actors bodies and brains that I never knew before. And suddenly why I was having pain made sense. And Aubrey got rid of it.
I have been wanting this my whole life! Finally I get permission to play again! I’ve been so unhappy and this has changed everything. I’m so much happier now! I come back for a recharge whenever I need it.

I don’t know how to describe my massage session with Aubrey. I’ve gotten a lot of massages and this is off the charts. It’s like your body talks to her. I came to see her because I had tension in my shoulders. She clued me into the real problem. I haven’t felt this good since I was in college.

Nostalgia and Play Therapy for Women

“ Who decided that 10 or 12 is too old to play anymore? I’ve wanted someone to play with me for 20 years now and finally, I found a place that I can do that!”

Step back into imagination — Play Therapy for Women

Remember When Play Was the Whole World?

You didn’t need permission. You didn’t need a reason.

You played because it felt good.

But somewhere along the way, it stopped being acceptable — especially for women — to make up stories, play pretend, or be silly just for fun.

What’s Included:

• A 30 minute session in a vintage-play setting

• A gentle facilitator to guide or join your imaginative play

• Props like preschool play kitchens, dolls, and probably most of the toys you remember from childhood.

This Is for You If:

• You miss the joy of childhood

• You’re reconnecting with your inner child through creative play

• You just want time without the responsibilities of being an adult

Come Play Pretend Again- You’re Allowed

Important Note: This is not to be utilized as a form of clinical therapy or clinical mental health treatment. If you are currently experiencing mental health challenges, we encourage you to seek support from a licensed provider.

Stacey’s take on her nostalgia therapy session with Aubrey-

When I entered the space she uses for her nostalgia work, I started crying and asked if I could move in. The attention to detail is amazing. I felt like I was 10 years old again. I’ve been to retro themed places in Chicago, but nothing holds a candle to this. It is literally like you traveled back in time. Like you walked into your best friend’s house when you were a kid. Absolutely nothing has been altered. The space is frozen in time.

There is good reason she has had such success with this in big cities. I suspect when more people from Rockford find out about this she is not going to be able to meet the demand.
