Therapist Bio

Hi, my name is Andy Vyvyan, owner of Nelipot’s Mind & Body Rejuvenation. I attended Anthem College in Brookfield and earned my associates degree in massage therapy in 2012. My goal is to help people live better lives by utilizing the healing benefits of massage and Reiki.

My passion is to help heal people inside and out. I believe self-care is a MUST in today’s busy world. Regular bodywork and energy work are the key to living up to your fullest potential. Massage and Reiki can be beneficial to everyone when applied in the correct manner by a caring, knowledgeable therapist. I’ve spent years working in every type of massage environment from chiropractic, to high end spa, to sports therapy, and even corporate massage work. I bring all of that to one table, combining several modalities into one very unique style designed to get the best therapeutic results to fit the client’s needs. My results focused massage technique combines myo-facial, deep tissue, active release, and oriental techniques to provide lasting results. I am well versed in Prenatal massage and lymphatic massage as well. I include hot stones & hot towels in every massage for no extra charge.

I am also a Reiki Master Teacher. Reiki is a Japanese healing technique that promotes balance within our whole system – Mind, body and soul. This means that although we may come to a Reiki treatment looking for relief from some emotional or physical ailment, we may find that we start to reap the benefits on many levels and in unexpected ways.

During my off time I enjoy kayaking, running, snowboarding, singing, cooking and spending time with my cats. Music and cooking have always been two very big passions in my life and will remain so for quite some time. I cooked my way through college at a handful of different restaurants so I’m always up for sharing some recipes. I cook a mean BBQ. I also love animals and the great outdoors. I look forward in assisting you on your path to wellness.

I graduated from Blue Sky School of Professional Massage in 2014 with an emphasis on deep tissue and neuromuscular techniques. Shortly after, I was diagnosed with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome which brought me understanding of my lifelong chronic pain, slow healing, and hypermobility.

In my view, therapeutic massage means helping people improve their movement and heal from trauma. My practice and studies have always been oriented towards pain relief first. To that end, I have studied a wide variety of techniques, including fascial release, lymphatic drainage, and Thai.
