About the Practitioner

Chantelle Lorenz 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 calm energy down, get people's attention, create connection, cultivate present moment awareness, and help with co-regulation. 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, and also currently works as a Wellness Coach at a school in Oakland. She is registered as a massage therapist through California Massage Therapy Council (Certificate #24128).
