Meet The Team

Rebecca Bruckner

Rebecca Bruckner has been a practicing Licensed Massage Therapist for 10+ years and she has focused on making the integration of bodywork with emotional and spiritual healing a hallmark of her practice. When the primary focus is on the physical body, Rebecca draws from years of experience in Neuromuscular Therapy, Trigger Point Therapy, and Deep Tissue Modalities such as Structural Massage. When the primary focus of a client is on the emotional body, as a trauma informed bodyworker, Rebecca draws upon skills from modalities including Somatic Bodywork, Cranial Sacral Therapy, breath work, re-envisioning, and color therapy. She believes in listening deeply to the body and helping clients become more aware of what their bodies are attempting to communicate so that together they can attune to and attend to their body’s needs. Stress and trauma often manifest as physical symptoms. Her practice involves working to regulate the body’s threat response system. As a Level 3 Aura-Soma practitioner Rebecca loves to incorporate color into the healing process. She is available for Aura-Soma color consultations. Rebecca has Masters of Theological Studies in Integrative Theology, is certified in Religious Trauma Studies and is currently working on Integrative Somatic Trauma Therapy Certification and finishing a Master of Arts in Leadership in Spiritual Direction from United Theological Seminary of the Twin Cities. She has invested a lot of time and thought into the study of religious trauma and the abuse of power in religion and welcomes clients who are processing these experiences.

  • Rebecca has been instrumental in my healing journey. I have been living with a PTSD diagnosis for 8 years and struggling with symptoms that no one could explain for a few years before that. I tried everything. Neurology has ruled out physical explanations, and yet the physical symptoms persist and get significantly worse with stress. I have seen other bodywork practitioners, and they knew I was holding so much of my past in my body. They all helped to an extent and provided excellent care, but mostly I would zone out, and only get temporary relief. Rebecca and I worked together weekly for a solid year. During that time, I regained a part of myself that had been lost and started to reintegrate these fractured parts of myself. I continue to work on my spiritual recovery, trauma therapy, and physical therapy with greater awareness and ability to direct this care so it is finally benefiting me now. I experience greater functionality and joy in my life. I have been able to make sense of this patchwork of care that is available to people like me. If I had to credit one person with the shift in the results I am getting, I would say I healed myself. I befriended myself. I walk into my future supported, but not dependent. No one else knew how to help me unlock this potential until I worked with Rebecca. She helped me to get unstuck. I hope there are others who know what she knows. I hope there are many teachers and students of this method because we need more of it. We need more guides on a path that can feel so lonely and isolating. Words can't explain the transformation. Thank you. ~A.B.

  • I have been a massage client of Rebecca for many years now. My counselor recommended I see her to help with my mind body connection. Other bodywork I have had in my life pales in comparison. When Rebecca is working on you her full attention is with you. She knows how to listen with her whole self. She has taught me how to tune in to the wisdom my body has to offer. More recently I have embraced the Aura Soma color system. I was skeptical at first but am now paying attention to what colors my body is craving for support. More and more positive changes in my life continue to ensue as a result. Working with Rebecca has been truly transformative for me.  ~Julie V.

  • I have been seeing Rebecca since May of 2024. The way her knowledge and skills have guided my healing is invaluable. I felt a sense of safety and understanding with Rebecca that allowed me to open up and aided in re-connecting my mind and body after a childhood of trauma. She helped me navigate through challenging emotions and provided me with practical tools to manage my multi-layered trauma. Rebecca has a unique ability to listen without judgment and to offer insights that truly resonate with me. Thanks to her guidance, I’ve gained a deeper understanding of myself and have made significant progress in my journey. ~Jennifer Martin

  • I have been receiving massage therapy from Rebecca for the last two years. Her knowledge of the physical body and how it is tied to the emotional body is incredible. When she does somatic massage she always holds a beautiful, non judgmental container while I process. She is a safe space. I always look forward to seeing her and letting her work her magic! ~Beth Reiff

  • I genuinely had the best massage experience with Emily! She was incredibly attentive to the needs of my body and she helped to curate the massage for areas where I needed it most. She fostered a very welcoming and calm environment that made me feel completely comfortable during the entirety of my massage.
