Alyssa Vistad, LMT

Hello all! My name is Alyssa Vistad. I am a Massage Therapist and am so excited to now be offering my services at Soulista! I grew up in Cavalier, North Dakota and after graduating high school I moved to Fargo to attend NDSU. I studied both at NDSU and MSUM and after completing my second year I realized my interest in Anatomy and Kinesiology. Following those interests, I enrolled at Sister Rosalind’s School of Massage Therapy. I graduated in 2007 with 800 hours in Massage Therapy and 300 hours in Reflexology. I am Nationally Certified, licensed in North Dakota, and have been practicing since early 2008.

As a Massage Therapist, I enjoy helping my clients find relaxation and calm in the middle of a hectic world. My unique fluid style is a blend of Swedish techniques, myofascial release, passive stretching, trigger point therapy, and reflexology. After a session, my clients can expect to feel relaxed, as well as refreshed, with a more complete sense of well-being. I believe in the body’s ability to heal itself and that Massage Therapy is one of the many paths to restoring health and wholeness to the body.

As a young practitioner, I am excited to expand my knowledge and experience and to continue to offer my clients the best service in this industry.

 

Jennifer Togerson, LMT

Jennifer Torgerson is originally from Crookston, MN and moved to the Fargo-Moorhead area in 2004 to pursue her career in massage therapy. Jennifer is a graduate of MN School of Business Moorhead with a Diploma in Massage Therapy. Although she loves every modality she has learned, deep tissue and pregnancy are her favorites. Jennifer's other hobbies include going to the lake in the summer, rollerblading, biking, reading and spending time with her fiance and their three daughters.

 

Gina Sandgren

Gina Sandgren lives in Moorhead with her teachers: the three amazing souls of her husband and best friend, Ross; her 14-yr.-old daughter, Sommer; and her 10-yr.-old son, Devon. Her professional life has encompassed healthcare administration, writing, self-employment, raising her children full-time and volunteering. Currently, her heart sings when sharing the benefits of mindful living by helping others create a daily quiet practice as a meditation/mindfulness instructor. She articulates this as a contributor for the book, Inviting Dialogue. She is also fully engaged as a G.I.V.E. (Give with the Intention of a Vigorous Economy) Campaign advocate.

Just like everyone, her life has taken interesting twists and turns. Throughout the joys and challenges that have resulted, two lifestyle practices (she adopted years ago) have stood the test of time: daily quiet time and serving others remain true in their perpetual delivery of enrichment to her life.

She believes our purpose unfolds when our heart’s greatest joy meets the world’s greatest need. If you can help others get what they want in a way that makes your heart sing, you have aligned with your personal calling. Further, she believes this aligns with the universal calling to serve one another.
