Massage therapy and Reiki healing
Massage therapy and Reiki healing for mind-body wellness
The Wellness Center’s massage and Reiki healing services offer a full range of styles—from Swedish and deep tissue to prenatal and reflexology—all performed by licensed therapists in a calming, healing environment.
Whether you need full-body relaxation or targeted relief, our therapists tailor each session to your needs. Medically therapeutic massage options are also available to help manage chronic conditions. Research shows massage can lower blood pressure, reduce stress, and ease pain and joint stiffness by focusing on specific muscle groups. We offer therapies proven to promote healing, reduce stress, and have a positive impact on our patients. We are here to help you heal, inside and out.
Reiki is an energy healing technique that promotes relaxation and reduces anxiety. This safe and gentle practice channels loving energy to promote deep relaxation and healing. It helps ease stress, anxiety, nausea, agitation, and pain—while reducing side effects from medical treatments. Many experience a profound sense of peace and well-being.

Colleen Curran
I’ve been a licensed and board-certified massage therapist since 1999. I use a variety of techniques to help relieve pain, promote healing, improve circulation, reduce stress, increase relaxation, and support overall well-being. I truly believe in the power of massage to benefit not just the body, but also the mind and emotions.
For over ten years, I was an instructor at Delgado Community College, where I specialized in teaching massage therapy for special populations and managed the program’s clinics. I’ve also had the honor of serving two terms on the Louisiana Board of Massage Therapy.
Alison Doussan
I’ve been a licensed massage therapist, certified by the Louisiana Board of Massage Therapy, since 2000. Over the years, I’ve come to deeply understand the power of touch and the importance of truly listening to my clients’ needs. My goal is always to deliver a massage that calms the body and eases tension, using a blend of Swedish, Deep Tissue, Neuromuscular Therapy (NMT), and Reflexology techniques.
I’ve had the privilege of working with a wide range of clients—from athletes to individuals living with chronic illnesses or injuries. I believe that everyone deserves time to relax and reset, and therapeutic massage is one powerful way to support that process.

I have been a licensed massage therapist since 2007 and am a graduate of Blue Cliff College of Louisiana. With nearly two decades of experience, I am dedicated to helping clients achieve wellness, balance, and restoration through personalized therapeutic care. I began my massage therapy career in Houston, where I gained diverse experience working in day spas, physical therapy clinics, and specialized prenatal and postnatal care settings. My professional expertise includes Swedish Massage, Deep Tissue Massage, and Prenatal Massage, allowing me to tailor each session to meet the unique needs of every client. Whether your goal is stress relief, pain management, recovery support, or relaxation, I am committed to providing therapeutic care that promotes overall well-being. Now that I've returned to Louisiana, I look forward to serving the community by helping clients restore balance, reduce tension, and support their journey toward better health and wellness. I am available for appointments on Fridays and Saturdays. Please see our front desk to book with me today!

I received my massage training from Delgado Community College in 2019 and became licensed in the State of Louisiana in 2020. I specialize in deep tissue massage and enjoy creating personal, individualized sessions for each of my clients. I also emphasize the importance of stretching and often incorporate assisted stretching into my sessions to support long-term results.
My approach is intuitive—I let the body guide me so I can adapt to each client’s specific needs. I love seeing people leave their sessions not only relaxed, but also re-energized. I’m also experienced in lymphatic massage and work with clients managing a variety of health conditions.

I’ve been a Wellness Center team member since 2002. I’m a licensed massage therapist and certified by the National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork. I’m also a certified Oncology Massage Therapist. I completed my training at the Santa Monica College of Massage Therapy in California and Blue Cliff College in Louisiana.
I specialize in Geriatric Massage, which takes all age-related health conditions into account. My clients have included people with traumatic brain injuries, joint replacements, cancer, diabetes, fibromyalgia, rheumatoid arthritis, and other chronic conditions. I customize each session using modalities such as neuromuscular therapy, deep tissue work, Swedish (circulatory) massage, and reflexology. I enjoy seeing my clients integrate massage therapy into their personal health and fitness regimens. What a perfect setting we have here for people to succeed.
