Our mission 

Listen

When we listen - truly and fully listen - to the people and world around us, we can better understand ourselves and our purpose.

Learn

Learning about our physical bodies, minds, spirits and all the connections between them allows for authentic living and collaboration.

Educate

Knowledge is power - but educating others is priceless.  
Finding the words to teach others how to improve their lives is beneficial to you both.

Who we are

Mindbody Connections is owned and operated by Charlene Russell, who has been offering educational content and consulting in the massage therapy industry since 1999.  In 2020, she embarked on a web-based adventure to promote our passion for the many connections between our bodies and minds...and those around us. We believe Everything is connected!

Learn from the best

Charlene is proud to have served in every role of the massage field - from student to president of a national organization.  She is grateful to be collaborating with this great community of educators and practitioners she has met over the last 25 years while working in MS and throughout the country as an educator, regulator and all-around promoter of massage therapy, healing and connectedness. 

Why choose us

We teach the best techniques that get to the heart of what it means to be a true professional: an understanding of massage therapy culture combined with the skills of a solid practitioner process, from regulatory guidelines to lymphatic drainage, anatomy and physiology, neuromuscular rehabilitation, body contouring, Eastern modality theories, and so much more!
