Rev. Korina Felkers, Clairvoyant / Reiki Master /
Certified Massage Therapist
 Korina Felkers is a
Certified Massage Therapist and Reiki Master, and has
over 21 years experience in the healing arts.
Her prior background
includes service in the U.S. Marine Corps, teaching career
development in the federal government and working in the
legal and newspaper industries. She is bilingual (Latvian/English)
and holds dual citizenship with Latvia and the U.S. Korina
has also served on the faculty of the Boulder College
of Massage Therapy and is currently pursuing her doctorate
in Naturopathy.
Korina is a graduate
of the Baltimore School of Massage. She lived and practiced
in the Washington DC area for ten years before moving
to Colorado in 2000. She is the owner of Foothills Therapeutics,
located in Lafayette and serving the greater Boulder area.
She specializes in deep tissue and myofascial massage
techniques and has a particular knack for helping people
with neck pain and dysfunction. She also incorporates
the use of essential oils, Reiki and hot stones in her
sessions.
Over the years, she
has successfully helped clients mitigate pain associated
with many conditions, including cancer, MS, fibromyalgia,
Parkinson’s, brain injury, and a wide variety of
soft tissue injuries. Some have seen complete reversal
of conditions they had previously been told they would
"just have to live with" (such as nerve damage),
while others have been able to quickly recover from accident-related
injuries. Some have even been able to avoid surgery due
to intervention with massage therapy.
Focus and Techniques
Korina's primary focus
is helping those who are experiencing reduced physical
or emotional functioning as a result of injury, illness,
stress, overuse of the body or pregnancy. She can help
you regain your optimum healthy state if you have been
in a car accident, are experiencing stress, have a sports
injury, are in pain from sitting too long at your computer,
have just had surgery or are expecting a baby. Even chronic
conditions that have caused years of pain can be effectively
reversed.
Korina has developed
a singular way of working with the neck, head and upper
shoulders that has become her trademark, and works beautifully
to release stubborn pain and dysfunction. It is most effective
for whiplash, headaches, stiff "computer-neck"
and similar conditions. Working this way may feel intense
at times, but she proceeds with sensitivity and monitors
your comfort level. If the massage causes pain, then the
nervous system goes on "red alert" and any benefits
from the massage are lost. Her clients consistently report
that "it hurts so good", and are amazed at the
dramatic change in their range of motion and pain levels.
They leave feeling very relaxed, restored and with a sense
of accomplishment.
What Korina provides
as a treatment is tailored to your needs and your goals
for healing and stress relief. The massage methods she
uses most often are deep tissue and myofascial techniques,
including trigger point therapy. Swedish massage and similar
relaxing strokes round out the work. A particularly unique
aspect of her work is that she incorporates the use of
hot stones in every session and her clients love the warming
and soothing effect they have. Reiki, a transformational
type of energy work that balances the chakras and heals
at every level of your being, is another practice she
often uses during a session, or in a session by itself.
Essential oils are an adjunct that add the dimension of
aromatherapy to her work.
