Chantelle Lorenz formally started massage training at Minneapolis School of Massage & Bodywork in 1997 and continued her massage therapy education at McKinnon Institute in Oakland, CA. Her education includes working with trauma, elders, pre/post natal care, clinical/deep tissue, myofascial release, facilitated stretching, Esalen/Swedish, reflexology, chair massage, and working with veterans.
Chantelle's journey with touch started in a chaotic environment as the youngest of ten children where she learned that the power of touch can get people's attention, create connection, cultivate present moment awareness, calm others down, and help to co-regulate herself. She developed a sense of kinetic wisdom through movement as a multi-disciplinary athlete, including dance, acrobatics, and tumbling. She recognizes healthy touch as a cradle to grave need, being crucial in childhood development as well as maintaining health into elderhood. Aside from practicing massage therapy, Chantelle holds a degree in social welfare from University of California Berkeley, working with children and families as a therapeutic behavioral coach.
