As a Certified Pediatric Massage Therapists, I have experience working with children who have very special healthcare needs and medical conditions. In May 2014, I teamed with Children's Wisconsin to develop and implement its first-ever Pediatric Massage and Touch Therapy Program. This partnership ended unfortunately in the midst of the COVID19 pandemic.

In 2017, I received special training to work with cancer patients and survivors. In 2018, I initiated training in CranioSacral Therapy with The Upledger Institute. To date, I have completed Level I and II and recently completed Somatic Emotional Release training as part of the The Upledger Institute's Core Curriculum. I am excited to continue my journey towards certification with special focus in pediatric CranioSacral Therapy.

Further, KANNAI Therapeutic Massage LLC is an approved vendor with IRIS and the Children's Long-Term Support Waiver Programs providing therapeutic massage services for qualified adults and children under the Wisconsin Medicaid Program.

REVIEWS for my Bodywork, Coaching, or Reflexology services

by Dan on Mar 21
Ronnie is without question the best massage therapist my wife or I have ever experienced. Not an overpowering painful massage, but also not weak. A massage by Ronnie is both therapeutic and relaxing!
by Angie on Feb 05
Kannai Therapeutic Massage is an amazing and inviting and relaxing place. Ronnie is so professional, and helpful, and has healing hands! She suggests stretches and ways to work on sore, hurting muscles more at home in between massages as well. Will be back again soon!

Our family is so grateful to have found Ronnie. Our children have been going to her for several years.
by Catherine on Sep 27
I have been suffering from sciatic and other back- and neck-related issues, so I recently visited Kannai for the first time a few days ago. After my time with Ronnie, my symptoms decreased significantly. Her environment is soothing and comfortable, her demeanor was friendly and professional, and she obviously cares very much about delivering the best service possible. I will be returning for more and highly recommend her to anyone looking for first-rate therapeutic massage.
by Morgan on Aug 27
She was absolutely brilliant! She seemed to get a lot of feedback from my body about what I needed vs. what was too much. Felt supported, tended to, and under very skilled care. Very knowledgeable regarding anatomy and physiology too which I appreciate!
