Welcome to our Wednesday Wellness series!! Every Wednesday for 8 weeks we are introducing you to another one of our Wellness Team members in an effort to let our students get to know each of them, as well as their treatment styles, a little better!! We asked all 8 of our Wellness Team members to answer the 3 questions found below.
This week we are featuring Mo who offers Deep Tissue Massages on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday & Saturdays at BL!!
Introducing Mo…

1) How did you find your way to Body Language?
My husband and I frequently drive past Body Language on our way from Waterford to Walled Lake for his theatre side hustle. One day when I was looking at job openings I stumbled on an opportunity here at BL and I was intrigued that a small-business yoga/fitness studio employed so many wellness professionals, something that is not very common and that I believe is a huge boon for the community. The more I learned about BL, the more I wanted to join and become a part of this inspiring and trailblazing team!

2) What is unique or special about your treatment?
My massage therapy approach is customized around each individual’s needs, preferences, and health. I enjoy receiving feedback in order to tweak my techniques and pressure to perfectly meet expectations and continuously improve. I like to say that I have mastered the art of providing deep tissue massage while also making the session incredibly relaxing; you’ll leave feeling blissfully content and at peace. A few of my signature massage features (at no extra cost, and always optional) include the use of a neck traction pillow, aromatherapy, and foot massage with Bon Vital’ Foot Balm.

3) What is something others might not know about you?
I happen to be a late-identified Autistic and ADHD person, and I am a proud advocate for autistic and other neurodivergent people. Especially for those of us who did not get diagnosed or recognized until later in life as adults. If you are ever curious about autism, ADHD, or anything else regarding neurodivergence and mental health, feel free to ask me anytime. I love talking about this topic and sharing what I know, from both academic study and personal experience, in order to stop the spreading of harmful myths and stereotypes.

I LOVE massages from Mo. Her pressure is firm and steady and just overall amazing. We are SO glad she found her way to us and has become such an asset to our BL Team!! You’ll find her in the Sky room W-Saturday which is the Kids Korner in the am but totally transformed into a very cozy, relaxing room after child care hours. Grateful to have you on board, Mo!!

Tuesday Testimonial (for real):

It is absolutely the best! Great instructors, a variety of classes, good support system, friendly environment and non judgmental! I am very glad I made the choice to a part of Body Language.

You all care deeply and it shows. Plus you go out of your way to create a community atmosphere with lots of extras! Not your usual gym!!!!

Fun class, friendly and welcoming clientele and staff.

Happy Easter from our your Body Language family! 🐣💛

This is one of just TWO days a year we close at BL (the other is Christmas!) so our amazing staff can spend time with their loved ones.

Fun fact: Bronner's Christmas Wonderland is famous for being open 361 days a year… and we used to joke that BL beats that—open 363 days! Not too shabby 😄

Enjoy your day—whether that’s a workout break or a nice walk with family—and thanks for supporting our team’s time off.

Happy Easter! 🌷

Trying something new is hard. It can be very scary. The older we get the less likely we are to try something new. We become experts in the excuse department. We encourage others to try things but when it comes down to it we normally don't! Our challenge to you this month is to do just that. Try something new.
Maybe its a massage for the first time.
Maybe its a new class.
Maybe its just walking in the Body Language doors and introducing yourself.
We don't bite.....honest! We love to say hi to new faces.

It doesn't have to be anything huge, it just has to be something new.

Define your strong!
Are you physically strong? Are you mentally strong? You are probably both if you let yourself claim it.
Strength is knowing we are all a work in progress and we still continue to show up for the job.
Own your strength!

Each week for 8 weeks we are introducing you to another one of our Wellness Team members in an effort to let our students get to know each of them, as well as their treatment styles, a little better!! We asked all 8 of our Wellness Team members to answer the 3 questions found below.
This week we are featuring Tamara who offers Reiki on Tuesday & Wednesday afternoons!!
Introducing Tamara…

How did you find your way to Body Language?
After years of driving by BL, a good friend finally got me to come to a sound healing. I met Andrea the same evening, she gave me a tour, and I fell in love with the place. Soon after, I started hosting my Meet-ups in the cozy area Around the Corner, signed up for YTT, began coming to yoga, offering wellness workshops, and finally became a Front Desk Manager,too! I'm so excited to add Reiki to my BL Resume!

2. What is unique or special about the treatment you offer?
People who know me say that I bring love and light into every interaction. Reiki amplifies that feeling of love and spreads it throughout the body's energy system through gentle touch, shifting and clearing energy so that your life flows more smoothly internally and externally.

3. What is one thing others may not know about you??
One thing people might not know about me is that I lived in Singapore for 5 years (2001-05) and had my first child there, and then lived in the UK for 2 years (2012-14) before coming home to Commerce Township, where I was born and raised!

I distinctly remember this first time meeting Tamara. As she mentioned above, I was filling in at the desk and when she came in for her first BL experience, we shared a similar experience. She had always done yoga but by herself next to her bed. Before going to my first BL class, I had worked out every day, but always on my own. Neither of us realized the power of being surrounded by other bodies until we experienced it for ourselves. Since that day, Tamara has jumped in with both feet and definitely been on the fast track at BL. In just one year’s time she has stepped up and taken on so many responsibilities at BL and we are so blessed to have her positive energy ooze into all these spaces!! Thank you Tamara for all the ways you continue to serve this BL community!! Grateful!!
