BERLIN– Opened in early September, White Lotus Bodyworks brings an alternative and holistic health approach to healing.
The new business, located at 10815-A Grays Corner Road in Berlin, inside CrossFit, offers Swedish, therapeutic, sports, deep tissue and all-natural facelift massage.
Owner and licensed massage therapist Michele L. Eppard was a former co-owner of Baked Desserts Café in Berlin.
“I just went to the Harris School of Business Massage School (in Delaware), and here I am,” she said.
Eppard, who also holds a kinesiology degree from the University of Maryland College Park, will be working closely with CrossFit.
“I’ll be offering the CrossFitters my expertise, as well as the surrounding community,” she said. “I’m more of a sports-minded person, but I’m schooled in all aspects of massage ranging from relaxation to sports.
“There are so many benefits to massage,” Eppard continued. “Emotional, spiritual, and of course physically. It’s just overall well-being. The human body is an incredible machine, and massage just helps it run that much better. From a relaxation standpoint it’s a huge stress reliever. From a sports standpoint it allows your muscles to function at their full capacity and helps sore muscles recover faster. It lengthens muscles and allows them to work at their peak.”
Like chiropractic practices, massage has become a much more accepted form of physical therapy during the last few decades.
“I think the attitude toward massage has changed greatly over the last 10 or 15 years,” said Eppard. “Insurance covers it a lot now, and people see alternative and holistic medicine as being a lot more viable. I think it’s really turned around and people are really coming to the benefits of massage. It’s really incredible what good it can do for the body and for the mind. It can really change your whole attitude – that’s what I like best about it.”
Eppard admitted she would love to see the practice grow, but said her attention at the moment was focused on her clients.
“Right now I’m just focused on doing what I can to help people,” she said. “I would love to have my book filled every week. It is a business, so of course I’m interested in having it be a success, but right now my main focus is on the people themselves and helping them feel better and perform better.”
