Welcome

Radiant Healing is a massage practice that emphasizes whole-body wellness and healing.

We have locations in Greendale, Wisconsin and Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

Our modalities consist of massage therapies for clients of all ages and genders.

Our Practice

We offer three practice techniques: Therapeutic, Relaxation, and Wellness.  Therapeutic massage includes Myofascial Release, neuromuscular therapy, and stretching.  Relaxation techniques include Swedish massage and Reiki energy work.  The Wellness modality brings in the use of therapeutic-grade essential oils.

Warm Basalt Stones are used in all sessions to warm and loosen tight and painful muscle tissue for deeper release, and to increase circulation for rapid healing.

PricingBooking

Anxiety and Depression

Massage aids in the treatment of anxiety and depression as it reduces levels of the stress hormone cortisol.  Lowering cortisol produces lifted spirits and often lower blood pressure.  It can also help to boost the neurotransmitters serotonin and dopamine, and it works without the use of medications.

PricingBooking

Reduce Headaches

Many headaches are caused by excessive muscle tension, so it stands to reason that reducing that muscle tension will reduce the resulting headache.  It’s true, and studies show that the relief can be long-lasting, especially when combined with other relaxation techniques such as meditation.

The secondary benefits of Massage Therapy for Stress Reduction are also beneficial for ailments that seem unrelated to our normal, everyday stressors.  Things such as lower back pain, jaw pain, insomnia, and arthritis, to name a few.

Reduce Back Pain

This is the big one in our practice.  8 out of 10 Americans experience debilitating back pain and, according to a 2011 study reported by TIME.com, massage helped people in pain feel better and function better.

“We found the benefits of massage are about as strong as those reported for other effective treatments: medications, acupuncture, exercise and yoga,” Dan Cherkin, Ph.D., lead author of the study, said in a press release.

Boost Immunity

Studies have linked massage to better functioning of the immune system.  In one 2010 study, researchers found massage increased a person’s disease-fighting white blood cells.  The stress-reducing powers of massage can also help keep you healthy.

Improve Your Sleep

Sleep deprivation is the insidious thief of many people’s lives.  Lack of sleep accounts for many workplace and traffic accidents, poor judgement, and diminished critical thinking in professions that demand a sharp mind.

Studies examining the link between massage and enhanced sleep effectiveness have concluded that, among other things, the effect on delta waves promotes this nourishing result.

Read Our Safety Policies

To ensure the health and safety of our staff, as well as all the clients in the studio, we are requiring the following:

  • If you are not feeling well or have a temperature in excess of 99°F, please cancel your appointment before the 24 hour notice or as soon as symptoms arise.
  • You have the option to mask during your session.  If you request that your therapist do so, they will mask as well.

We reserve the right to discontinue service with any client who appears to be exhibiting symptoms of illness before or during a session.  We respect how you may feel about this and other measures we are taking.  Our goal is to keep everyone safe and healthy.  We kindly ask for your understanding and cooperation while we navigate this together.

What We're About as a Healing Organization

No matter how much you enjoy what you do, there are still stresses in everyday life that take a toll on your mind and body.  Massage Therapy can help reverse the damage done by this stress, and do it drug-free.  Massage does more than just relax your mind and relieve tired muscles; it restores function and allows you to do more without NSAIDs or other medications.

At Radiant Healing, you can expect a warm greeting, a comfortable environment, and a customized session focused on your immediate needs.  Prior to the session, we’ll discuss your current health conditions, areas of stress and pain, and concerns you may have so that you can receive the maximum physical and emotional benefit every time.  Check out our various practice modalities here.

Who We Are

If the last couple of years has taught us anything, it is that we are all connected; physically, emotionally, and spiritually.  We can’t look away from these events, but we do have the opportunity to take a stance on what we believe, and who we will be in this new space.  So, in one small aspect of who we are and the beliefs that we hold true, we want to state the following as concerns you, our client.

This does not represent a new position for any of us.  It is merely stating out loud and publicly what we believe and how we welcome and serve our clients every day.  Think of a time when you did not feel welcome.  You will not feel that here at Radiant Healing.  We hold ourselves to a standard that is inclusive of everyone who walks through our door, and there are no barriers to anyone based on sexual orientation, gender identity, race, color, or physical characteristics.  Some refer to this as being LGBTQ-Friendly.  We are, and we also call it HUMAN-Friendly.

Any suggestions or treatment that we may give you are based solely, in our professional opinion, on what serves your needs best.  We encourage dialogue between you, the client, and us, the practitioners.  We will explain everything about our treatment process and why we suggest a course of therapy or treat your body in a specific way.  So come on in and let us serve you in a way that does your mind and body good, and makes your day-to-day life a little easier.

How We Do It

It’s rare that a company talks about their behind-the-scenes operations, either because it would be boring to customers, or they want to protect trade secrets.  We think there are certain things that you should know about our operations and how it can impact your well-being.

We use free and clear laundry products to wash, sanitize, and dry all of our practice linens, which includes massage table sheets, face cradle covers, towels, and other items.  Anything that may contact bare skin is carefully handled using hypoallergenic soaps, cleaners, and treatments.

All of our therapeutic products such as massage oils, creams, and lotions are also natural, hypoallergenic, and pure.  When we use essential oils for therapy, they are always 100% therapeutic grade.

Your safety and comfort, and that of our therapist team, is always our highest concern.  You can rely on us to keep your best interests at heart.  If you should ever have any questions about our products, procedures, or facility, please talk to us.

About Our Staff

Lara Pfeffer, LMT

Lara Pfeffer, LMT, Owner

I am a 1994 graduate of Blue Sky Massage School.  With over 28 years doing my favorite job ever (massage), I am proud to represent my company where we are privileged to serve our clients in a friendly, supportive, and compassionate atmosphere.  It’s my goal that every therapist on staff, while having their own gifts and talents for bodywork, embody our motto: “Massage is our passion, caring is our specialty.”  I mentor, coach, teach and inspire my diverse staff of kind, talented and skilled Licensed Massage Therapist practitioners.  While I am no longer accepting new clients, my practice has included intuitive bodywork that has woven into it a combination of Neuromuscular Therapy, Prenatal/Postnatal, Swedish flow, Myofascial Release, as well as Reiki holistic healing sessions.  In my free time I enjoy my kids and grandkids, being outdoors hiking/biking with friends and traveling the world.

Pahoua, LMT

I graduated from Wisconsin School of Massage Therapy in 2021.  I love the field of massage! I enjoy using relaxing modalities along with therapeutic techniques such as Trigger Point (site-specific to the issue) and deep tissue where needed, to release tension and pain.  I am eager to connect with clients and help them to enjoy life with more ease in body, mind and spirit.  I am always willing to learn and grow.  When I’m not massaging my valued clientele, I enjoy time with my family and friends.

Deanna, LMT

I am a graduate of Aveda’s Institute of Beauty and Wellness in Milwaukee.  Swedish relaxation massage is my specialty.  I excel at relaxing clients with my slow flow, while working out their various tension areas in their tissues using light-medium pressure.  I enjoy using deeper pressure in focus areas when needed.  When I’m not giving love and attention to my clients, I like to crochet, read tarot cards and spend time with my fiance and our cats.

Emily, LMT

I graduated from Wisconsin School of Massage Therapy.  I specialize in both relaxing the stress away and addressing painful areas for my clients.  I enjoy lymphatic & prenatal massage as well as therapeutic techniques such as Trigger Point and deep tissue for my clients to have more ease and less stress.  I am a former collegiate swimmer and know what it takes to have your body perform at it’s best.  In my free time, I enjoy time with my family and friends.

I graduated in 2015 from the Soma Institute for Clinical Massage Therapy after leaving Elmhurst University as a classical voice student.  I’ve worked alongside medical professionals, honing my skills as a pain relief specialist.  I enjoy taking on client’s issues and putting them in a state of bliss with an emphasis on whole person healing, pain relief and improving functions of the body with a relaxing flow into therapeutic and deep tissue techniques.  In my free time I enjoy podcasts & books, Pilates, playing games around the table with family and friends, collecting crystals and exploring the city.  I recently moved to Milwaukee with my fiancé Eric and our cat Suzy.

Sydney, LMT

I am a graduate of East-West Healing Arts Institute in Shorewood.  I am also a UW-Whitewater graduate.  Along with being passionate about the healing that massage can bring my clients, I enjoy being a diving coach for high school athletes.  As a former diver, I understand the sports-minded client.  I help my clients achieve a good balance in body and mind, while providing a holistic focus and customized experience.  I especially enjoy providing various therapeutic techniques including acupressure, cupping & gua sha for tension relief and stress reduction.  My goal is to have every client feel relaxed and re-energized after each session.  I have a passion for sports and spending time outside with family and friends.  Pursuing further education in the healing arts is an ongoing goal, as I look to serve my clients for years to come.

Our Practice

Swedish Massage
A partial or full body massage with light to moderate pressure using smooth gliding strokes.  This classic stress-relieving massage promotes relaxation, eases muscle tension, and creates other health benefits.  Session includes the use of hot basalt stones and aromatherapy.
Therapeutic Massage
This partial or full body massage with moderate to deep pressure targets specific painful areas, injured muscles, or fascia.  Myofascial Release is used on connective tissue to increase circulation, release tension, and unwind trauma in the body.  Trigger-point and neuromuscular therapy techniques are also used to increase flexibility and mobility to muscles and joints.  Session includes the use of hot basalt stones and aromatherapy.
Deep Tissue Massage
Designed to remove severe tension, deep tissue massage is not always deep pressure.  A variety of effective techniques are used to relieve both muscles and the connective tissue below the surface.  It also helps to improve range of motion, bring in blood flow, ease inflammation and heal injuries.  The session includes the use of hot basalt stones and aromatherapy.
Sports Massage
This style of massage uses a variety of techniques on specific muscles and their attachment points.  It is designed to help your body become more flexible and to promote healing.  It is particularly great for those with active lifestyles.  Session includes the use of hot basalt stones and aromatherapy.
Lymphatic Massage

Lymphatic massage addresses the lymphatic system, an important part of the immune system.  This treatment uses very light, slow, rhythmic movements to increase flow of lymphatic fluid along the lymphatic channels through the entire body.  It is highly effective in reducing inflammation, especially after surgery or trauma, such as a sports injury.  It can also help stimulate the immune response when recovering from an illness or when struggling with seasonal changes.

Lymphatic treatments can be helpful when treating inflammation, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue and Lyme disease.  Our intention is to gently encourage healthy lymph flow in otherwise healthy clients.  We are not certified in lymphatic drainage for cancer, BBL or plastic surgery procedures.  If you are currently under a doctor’s care, please first consult your provider for guidance or referral to a practitioner suitable to your medical needs.

Prenatal Massage
Every expectant client deserves this comfort monthly throughout their pregnancy, and our prenatal massage sessions are the best.  The benefits include relief of aches and pains, decreased leg swelling, and comfort during the physical and emotional stress of pregnancy.  To keep both the client and baby safe and comfortable, we use a specialized pregnancy table which allows the client to lie face-down, plus many pillows for side-lying positions.
Reiki
The practice of Reiki is defined as universal or higher power (Rei) and life-force energy (Ki).  Reiki is a natural Japanese healing technique that is administered by placing hands lightly on or slightly above the client’s body, while the client is lying comfortably fully clothed on the massage table.  This modality treats the whole person including physical, emotional and mental, creating beneficial effects that include deep relaxation and feelings of peace, balance and well-being.  Includes aromatherapy.
Our practitioners are skilled in every aspect of your care and are able to provide you with the relief and therapy that you need.

Highlights of Our Client Reviews

"I have been getting massages around town for 30 years....

… and I have to say, this was one of the best I’ve ever had. This is NO ‘cookie cutter’ salon. I had Lara as my MT and she was very thorough. She explained why they include the basalt stones in their massages (I’ll let you go and find out for yourself) as well as her background and training. You can also upgrade and get an essential oil, of your choice, added to their lotion (which is rich and creamy) for an extra “boost” to your experience. I was lucky enough to meet a few of the staff and I am excited for my next appointment! This is a quant place located in historic downtown Greendale (they also have a location downtown). They are very accommodating with schedules and match you with the right therapist for what you need. Treat your body to a GREAT massage and relax the way we need to, so that we can continue our hectic lives, you wont be disappointed!
