Testimonial “I was like many people, stress from everyday life was taking a toll on my skin. I was wearing stress from my life on my face. And I just felt drained. Ellie told me about a technique in acupuncture, called Cosmetic Acupuncture. After the first treatment I felt very relaxed and my face was cast in a healthy glow. I felt so good, the best I had felt in a long time. After two weeks time I noticed a significant difference. My eyes looked firmer and my skin tone was uniform and rosy.  My energy continued to be up and my face felt very relaxed.

My face continues to look great. I have learned so much about my skin and muscle tension from Ellie. She shared with me different techniques to help maintain over-all skin health and relaxation. Ellie is a very talented practitioner. I hope everyone has the opportunity to experience the gratifying healing I've gotten from Ellie Tansey.”

Massage Therapists

Charles JohnsonCharles Johnson
charles@praxishealingarts.com

Trained in both Shiatsu and Massage, Charles has developed a massage style which integrates Eastern and Western philosophy and technique.  He graduated from CenterPoint School of Massage and Shiatsu Therapy in Minneapolis in 2004, and since then has honed his craft working with a broad range of clients, including professional athletes such as the Minnesota Vikings and Minnesota Thunder.

In May of 2005 he and partner Benjamin Hill-Jacobson opened Praxis Healing Arts. Since then he has seen his practice expand to the important area of work-related injuries, in particular those injuries resulting from working with computers and at desks in today’s high-pressure office environments. 

Testimonial “I am thoroughly enjoying my bodywork from Charles. I appreciate his clear skill, strength, and attentive and thorough work — and, he’s a lot of fun to talk to. After three months of excellent massage — always relaxing and rejuvenating — I just had my first shiatsu session. What a revelation! The shiatsu immediately brought back my energy and internal balance, and the interwoven massage and stretches have sorted out my body tightness and pain. I can’t wait for the next session!”
- Scott Morgensen, Praxis client since 2006
