Health & Wellness Front and Center in Hibbing

HIBBING—The women behind Rejuvenate at the Reed and Synergy Studio bring their talents to the region, providing a comprehensive approach to health and wellness.

At the forefront of this initiative is Melissa Brown, a dedicated massage therapist and personal trainer.

“Opening Rejuvenate at the Reed and Synergy Studio has been a dream of mine since I started practicing and I’m blessed to have so many great ladies that bring health & healing to our communities,” said Brown, who was born and raised in Hibbing.

Located on First Avenue in Hibbing, the buildings provide a place for 12 amazing and talented women to showcase their gifts, said Brown.

“I am so very blessed to have known most of these women for most of my adulthood and have met them through my journey to a healthier me,” said Brown. “Some have reached out to see what it is in our spaces and found we were a fit for them, and our vision was similar.”

Synergy Studio is a workout studio with five instructors offering different workout classes, personal training, and different kinds of Yoga, Pilates, Reformer, Barre, Bodhi Suspension, TRX, Strong Nation, Silver Sneakers, and One Pass Strength & Tone.

All classes are geared to any level of fitness, and modifications are given so all fitness levels feel welcome to get started on their fitness journey.

Rejuvenate at the Reed is a health and wellness space with eight practitioners working t ogether to help clients find their optimal health.

Services include Massage, Facials, MicroNeedling, Gut Health, Bioidentical Hormone Replacement, Vibrational Sound Therapy, IPL, ResurFX, Laser, Skincare, QNRT, Gut/Brain Axis Health Coaching, Nervous System Coaching, Quantum Epigenetics Hair Analysis, Rapid Reprogramming Coaching, Neuro Activation, Pelvic Health, and Chronic Pain management.

Brown explained that the focus of both is synergy, which is the “interaction or cooperation of two or more organizations, substances, or other agents to produce a combined effect greater than the sum of their separate effects.”

These spaces were created so people can achieve holistic health in a one-stop-shop environment, explained Brown.

This originated from a vision to gather like-minded people to help each other and their clients grow through a holistic approach, she added.

Brown hopes for those who come to their spaces to find community and the best version of themselves through personal growth.

“Our spaces and those working in them each provide something different to help you find growth in the mind, body, and soul—finding yourself in this journey called life,” she said.

Brown believes their spaces are unique because of all they offer under one roof.

“We connect at a personal level with our clients,” she said. “When you come to Synergy Studio, you will find community and connection. Lots of our clients have become great friends and do things together. You will find those that encourage and cheer you on; we check in on each other, pray for each other, and support each other.”

At Rejuvenate at the Reed, she said, you will find a quiet space to decompress and great practitioners to support you on your health journey.

“When you step in the doors, you will find a place to sit with yourself and recharge your battery,” she adds.

Detailed information is located at synergyatthereed.com on the pull-down tabs. Each practitioner is self-employed, so the public can connect with them by the contact information provided.

Synergy Studio classes are listed, and visitors can add themselves to a class by clicking on their picktime app provided on the website.

Brown said everyone is welcome in both of their spaces.

“This has been one of my biggest blessings, not only to own such a historic building I have loved since I was a little girl, but also to have so many amazing women blazing a trail for our future of holistic care under one roof,” she said. “I could not ask for a better group of like-minded women to do life with.”

“I’ve been blessed to be a part of the health and healing community for 15 years,” stated Brown. “I started as a massage therapist, then added nutrition and group/personal training to my practice. I love to continue learning how I can help my clients more whether on my massage table or in my studio.”

Brown started in the medical field at 16 years old. While in nursing school, she found her heart was in more holistic care. She changed her career to a massage therapist 16 years ago and added nutrition and group/personal training to her certifications.

“I love learning to continue to help my clients more, whether on my massage table or in the studio,” said Brown.

She emphasizes the importance of efficiency and passion in one’s work, quoting John C. Maxwell’s The 15 Invaluable Laws of Growth: “If you want to create capacity and margin in your life, I suggest that you do the following: delegate so you’re working smarter and not harder, do what you do best and drop the rest, get control of your calendar; otherwise other people will. Do what you love because it gives you energy, work with others that give you energy. If you do those things while doing the right work with purpose in the right place with people you love, you will be living the good life.”

About:

From exhausted and sick, to respecting her body’s Inner Wisdom, Wyland empowers and guides women on their own transformational health journey. During a once in a lifetime Himalayan Trek, Wyland noticed cues from her body that things were a little off, but didn’t listen. Instead, she held tight to her crazy, stressed, and rushed modern life choices. Ten years later, she found herself in her doctor’s office exhausted, sick, digestive issues, and with multiple swollen joints. After seeing many healthcare providers, and given no long term, sustainable solutions, Wyland went on a deeper journey of healing. Her roles as a wife, mother of four grown children, holistic Physical Therapist, Lifestyle Medicine Practitioner, Master Quantum Epigenetics Hair Analysis Practitioner, Certified Gluten Free Practitioner, and Certified Rapid Reprogramming Method Practitioner all evolved through and from her healing journey.

With the light of her passion guiding the way, Wyland, founder of Flourish Holistic Wellness, is dedicated to discovering the root cause of her client’s health concerns. The program benefits from Wyland’s extensive professional experience and training in manual therapy, Lifestyle medicine, pain neuro-science, Neuro-Activation, and results coaching.

Wyland’s goal is to cut down the time it takes to start feeling good and living life with joy and passion. She believes you should expect to feel the vitality that results from being in control of your own health. You CAN live life vibrantly and flourish

Flourish Health and Wellness

Located at Rejuvenate at The Reed, Wyland offers Spiritual, Emotional, and Physical healing for women experiencing burnout and fatigue.

Services:

1. Quantum Epigenetics Hair Analysis: Let your body prioritize systems that need to be healed and begin your healing journey.

Women today are struggling with symptoms such as fatigue and low energy, bloating, constipation, muscle and joint pain, mood swings, thinning hair, and more.

Hair follicle testing can show you what systems need the most attention, such as Digestion, Gut Health, Adrenals, Emotions, Hormones, Brain Health, Inflammation, or Musculoskeletal.

Modern day living has many common influences that can have an impact on and affect your underlying wellness. These include foods eaten and nutrients absorbed, along with many common environmental influences at home and work. Collectively, these are known as epigenetics. Hair analysis tests for these environmental stressors and nutritional needs.

2. Rapid Reprogramming Coaching Program (trademark):

RRCP is a proprietary and evidence-based subconscious healing program that has changed the face of Transformational Coaching everywhere—allowing for quick, lasting, and transformational Client results.

This life changing program is founded in neuroplasticity, Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP), Hypnotherapy, and Cognitive Behavior (CBT). It is different from most programs as it gets directly to the source of the Client’s limiting beliefs, negative thoughts, sabotaging behavior, and childhood programming. These trigger unwanted emotions and behaviors, creating reasons and excuses why we aren’t where we want to be in life or health. This is why we are in pain and stress. The Rapid Reprogramming TM coaching program uncovers and releases the subconscious programming proven in years of Clinical research to account for 95 percent of your Client’s actions, reactions, feelings, and results.

3. Neuro Activation:

Due to our rushed and hurried modern life, most women live in a stressed, sympathetic dominant state. Learn techniques to flip the switch to turn on your body’s healing parasympathetic nervous system. In this state we can rest, digest, heal, and rejuvenate!
