Meet Andrea
Andrea Wollenberg, SEP, CST-T, BCTMB
Andrea is credentialled as a Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner through Somatic Experiencing® International, and offers trauma-informed care. She also is certified as a CST-T in Craniosacral Therapy through the Upledger Institute. Andrea is a 300-hour certified yoga instructor, has been a yoga practitioner for more than twenty years, and taught yoga for five years.
She has a Master of Fine Arts degree in Acting from the University of Virginia with additional experience teaching acting at UVa and Saint Olaf College and has been a professional theater actor in the Twin Cities and regionally for more than 20 years.
Andrea has been approved by the National Certification Board for Massage Therapy and Bodywork since 2010 and is a member of the American Massage Therapy Association. Andrea has been in private practice since 2010, and until 2022, was located at Lauderdale Wellness Center in Lauderdale, MN. She has provided pain relief and well-being to hundreds of clients there and given thousands of massages. Her training from Northwestern Health Sciences University includes Western Style Swedish and Trigger Point Tissue Rehabilitative techniques; her repertoire of hands-on techniques includes training in orthopedic massage for complicated shoulder issues, massage for headaches and migraines, myofascial release, Tui Na and Reflexology.
Her extensive and varied training background gives her a unique perspective and knowledge of how a body behaves and functions, its relationship to thought, emotion and meaning, and its innate ability to be the source of transformation and healing for an individual. Her years of experience integrating these perspectives have cultivated an intuitive, skilled ability to provide support for her clients’ physical and personal goals.
Andrea vigorously strives to do the most effective work for her clients within the boundaries of her knowledge and scope of practice. She welcomes feedback from and consultations with clients’ mental health and physical health-care team members. A client is encouraged to supplement any SE™ work with outside talk-therapy support if it is helpful, as well as explore other hands-on touch therapies, including massage and physical therapy to address issues.
