ABOUT US

About Cindy

I am the owner and visionary of Aqua Serene Wellness. It has been my desire to create a place for clients to feel they are receiving personalized attention on their journey to wellness in a relaxed and professional environment. I have combined many years of training, as well as partnered with other professionals to provide an extensive menu of services and products here at Aqua Serene Wellness.

For me, it all began with an interest in the field of energy therapy. In early 1988 I was introduced to the Art of Jin Shin Jyutsu®. That profound experience blossomed into many years of study on the road to understanding the complex way the body responds to holistic approaches. I went on to learn massage therapy and graduated from Midwest Academy of Healing Arts. I continued my education to become certified as an instructor of massage therapy. I found such joy in teaching anatomy, physiology and the mechanics of massage! I have also worked as a massage therapist in chiropractic settings and spa environments. In 2009 I made the transition into the field of digestive wellness after my own experience with a serious digestive health challenge.

I am Nationally Board Certified in Massage and Body Work (LMT License # MT20901283),  I-ACT Certified Colon Hydrotherapist and certified by Lifestream Colon Hydrotherapy Institute. I have studied digestive wellness at the Loomis Institute of Enzyme Nutrition, receiving my diploma as a Loomis Digestive Health Specialist. I became a Certified Natural Health Professional From Trinity in 2007. I Completed the Endocannabinoid Professional Certification From Trinity School of Natural Health in 2020. I am a Certified Quicksilver Scientific Practitioner via the Quicksilver Scientific Institute in Colorado.

Observing that many of the clients I was seeing for digestive support expressed concerns about skin conditions, I went back to school in 2012 to earn a degree in esthetics. While in school I also earned diplomas of distinction and merit from the International Therapeutic Exam Council (ITEC) in facial electrical and facial beauty treatments. After graduating I went on to learn more about traditional esthetic approaches and became certified in chemical peels from PCA. I furthered my knowledge in holistic skin care by training with the Dr. Hauschka Institute.  My philosophy is to nurture clients not only with safe beautiful organic products, but also with the relaxing treatments that are the signature of the Dr. Hauschka Institute. I am proud to be one of the only certified Dr. Hauschka Holistic Estheticians in Indiana and own the only certified center.

I also am an herbalist and graduated from Chestnut School of Herbal Medicine.  Botany, foraging, herbal medicine making, organic gardening and cultivation of therapeutic herbs has been a passion of mine for many years.

Pulling all of this together along with several other certifications, it is my hope to support clients on the journey to their goals for digestive support and vibrant health “from the skin to within”

In my personal life I enjoy spending time with my family including two grown sons. I have a lifelong love of dogs, and have spent many years being involved in English Mastiff breed rescue. I also like to garden and tend to my small urban homestead that includes preserving food, tending chickens and many DIY projects.

About Michelle

After working for 28 years as a Registered Nurse, Michelle was frustrated with how many people she met – both personally and professionally – who felt stuck, and didn’t know how to move forward with their lives and their health. Michelle understands this well because she has been there herself. Michelle began her own journey to wellness many years ago after struggling to find answers for exhaustion, brain fog, skin breakouts, histamine-type allergic responses and gastrointestinal issues. Exercise and weight loss became more difficult with each passing year. She was uncertain how she could help others when she could not get results herself.

Michelle’s biggest discovery came with the knowledge that not every program works for every person. You are your own greatest experiment! Michelle also realized that you cannot heal your body by ignoring your mind and spirit. They all work together and they all need to heal together. That is why Michelle became certified as a Holistic Health and Wellness Coach. What Michelle offers is much more than a diet and exercise program. She helps men and women reclaim their lives by improving their health through a customized approach that is unique for them. By partnering with her clients, Michelle empowers them to shift their beliefs away from disease management to the action of intentional living that is grounded in what they value most in life.

Michelle’s programs deliver real outcomes, transformations, and shifts in the way you think. These changes will ripple through every area of your life. If you have finally decided that you are worthy of having the health you need to pursue a life you love, then click on her website link below to get started.

Michelle and her husband, Andy, live in Westfield, Indiana. They have 3 grown children and 3 little Yorkshire terriers. Michelle spends her free time reading, practicing yoga, traveling, refinishing furniture and attending sporting events at Ball State University.

Her treatment approach is eclectic, client focused and tailored to each individual’s needs. There is always a discussion about what outcome the client is hoping for before each session.

Melissa is currently emphasizing craniosacral therapy (CST) while in a program towards certification through the Upledger Institute. When indicated she may include elements of this work in a therapeutic massage session and suggest more advanced treatment in a subsequent session.
