Mederise "Reese" Stanlake:  Massage Therapist.

Originally from Central Minnesota, Reese has been a licensed massage therapist since 2007. Since beginning with Nirvana in summer 2010, Reese has attained legendary status with her patients.  Reese pursued a career in massage because of her own experience with cervical disk damage and periodic pelvis displacement.  Reese enjoys working with patients of all ages and has successfully treated children, young adults in high school and in college sports, cancer patients, amputees, patients with chronic headaches/migraines, pregnant women and varying patients suffering from scoliosis. Reese takes great pleasure in being involved in setting up treatment plans for patients with the other health practitioners at Nirvana and is a real proponent of a truly integrative approach to helping a patient.

Reese enjoys the process of helping people feel better and teaching them the benefits of massage.  Reese says, “Massage is a big key to any overall wellness program. Our muscles have memory that can come from something as simple as stress to something more intense like damage from a surgery. Relaxation of the muscles involves muscle memory work, so it is my goal to teach people to prolong the good memory of their muscles, which in turn reduces stress. With the fast pace of our lifestyle what better way to slow the pace a little than by getting a relaxing massage custom fit to you.”
