I didn’t feel fully alive. It was a vague discomfort that I had difficulty putting a finger on, but I knew deep inside that there was something more I needed to be doing with my life. I knew I had a need to live the most authentic life I possibly could, but how? So, I began a journey, which at times was very messy, to find what being “alive” meant to me and to find my authentic truth. This sounds lofty and vague, and, frankly, it’s an unfolding path I’m still walking that not only holds promise but challenge. I learned quickly on my way that it was not about being happy all the time. Instead, it was so much more about being willing to move towards and embrace discomfort, emotional, mental, physical, and even spiritual. As a former firefighter/paramedic, I certainly understood what physical discomfort was, but I had a long way to go with my willingness to push myself into mental and emotional discomfort. That was unexplored territory. By being willing to explore that discomfort, I have come to understand that my mind and my thoughts as well as my emotions or feelings have a profound influence on my experience in life. They influence the actions I take as well as those I don’t take, which, ultimately create the results I have in my life -my experience of life. I am still discovering new spaces in myself, and it has been through life coaching, which includes but is so much more than self-help/self-care, that I have gained the ground I stand on today. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ce25f8ee6257ceaaa1f86/1620421968552-IRAWJ81WJO1SWB8E8LDS/Gail%26Regina_drum-1200px.jpg Coaching In my desire to deeply understand myself and live my own best life, I’ve found that deeply understanding others and helping them discover and attain their own best lives, was exactly what helped me be as alive as possible. As I found my own empowerment, I strove to empower others with the same tools/skills I was learning. I also realized that experiencing my own messy, human moments brought me to a place of more understanding and compassion for all humans. In my process of loving my full self, it became clear that embracing all the humans, in all of their good and bad aspects is an integral part of that journey. I love coaching people because not only is it a way to be of service and help others, but it’s also a place where I continue to learn about myself and all humans. Throughout this process, I have pushed my zone of comfort in so many more ways, as these photos illustrate. But there’s so much more that can be seen in a picture, and that is exactly why life coaching has such power, in my opinion. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ce25f8ee6257ceaaa1f86/1619101762396-DI32H9KJI0F75MBRUZ0M/Gail-stairclimb-1200px.jpg Coaching https://unfurlmadison.com/reviews daily 0.75 2023-03-04 https://unfurlmadison.com/massage daily 0.75 2025-10-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ce25f8ee6257ceaaa1f86/1620316352826-Z9J14RD4GMNIOPJZGCXS/unsplash-image-DNkoNXQti3c.jpg Massage https://unfurlmadison.com/values daily 0.75 2025-10-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ce25f8ee6257ceaaa1f86/a3e31b58-7d6a-4978-9cb9-674d109ca3d7/DSC_3367-Edit.jpg Values - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://unfurlmadison.com/links-resources daily 0.75 2024-10-22 https://unfurlmadison.com/hannah daily 0.75 2025-03-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ce25f8ee6257ceaaa1f86/a835db60-1821-4fcf-8689-bfdeb2dd5678/Unfurl+Individuals%21-5.jpeg Hannah Conley - My Story Hannah Conley, LMT I have been practicing Massage Therapy professionally for 8 years in the Madison, Wisconsin area.

Cupping involves using small suction cups to pull the skin and fascia away from the body rather than pushing on it, like with traditional massage. The cups can be left in place or moved around. We use cupping when requested or in situations where we feel fascial restrictions and scar tissue are contributing to your tension. Cupping can leave circular red marks on the body which can stay for up to 2-weeks. Tui Na is a Chinese massage technique that involves using vibrant and energetic motions with fists, palms, elbows, and knees to release tissue. Facial cupping is helpful in reducing head, neck, and facial tension. It does not leave marks and is very beneficial in reducing facial lines as well as deeper facial tension in the face. Facial cupping can be added to any session. We suggest 30 or 60-minutes of facial cupping and neck work.

Neurosomatic Therapy (NST) is an integrative form of manual therapy that identifies and corrects structural and biomechanical patterns in the body that cause chronic pain. Traditionally, chronic pain is treated in a way that addresses only one aspect of the condition. Whether it be massage therapy, physical therapy, or medicinal pain management, these methods fail to fully address the soft tissue causes of pain. NST, in contrast, uses careful analysis of dysfunctional postural and movement patterns to create a comprehensive therapy program that includes the five stages of rehabilitation: Eliminating Muscle Spasm Restoring Flexibility Restoring Proper Biomechanics Increasing Muscle Strength Increasing Muscular Endurance The purpose of NST is not only to eliminate the pain but educate the patient on ways to prevent the recurrence of injury. https://unfurlmadison.com/cranial-therapy daily 0.75 2025-03-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ce25f8ee6257ceaaa1f86/1620318151294-DAG6CPLNV6VU9YSIMMH1/LauraMassageT-b%26w-1200px.png Cranial Therapy - Cervical Craniofacial Therapy Cervical Craniofacial Therapy (CCFT) helps to relieve pain associated with migraines, headaches, TMD and TMJ pain, concussion recovery, vertigo, tinnitus, and all things head and neck.

We carefully assess the positions of the bones of the skull and the function of the jaw, we then treat these with gentle massage techniques and you leave feeling deep relief.

Her work was critical to pain management in our country and has grown throughout the years. Trigger Point massage is used to treat pain that is nagging and often chronic.

I was burnt out and unhappy with my career in the trades; something needed to shift. At a time I needed direction most, my family bought me my first massage ever. I was 35 years old. Not only were the soothing physical effects immediate, but the draw to pursue more knowledge of the field was impossible to ignore. It called to me. I sought out the best schools in the area and enrolled in the following fall semester. One year later, I ended my journey in the trades and began massage full time. I had no idea if I was going to be successful, and I gave myself no other option. It has been the most rewarding transition of my life It’s hard to enjoy all that life has to offer when one is suffering physically, emotionally, and spiritually. In the big picture, I seek to be a part of a cooperative group of health and wellness practitioners who work together to develop effective treatment plans to return your being to optimal balance and health through a variety of modalities. My goal is to use massage to help you move better and feel better, leaving your session feeling released, invigorated, and more balanced. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ce25f8ee6257ceaaa1f86/9e7c42ca-5894-49a6-882c-a50f127b29e3/kev4.jpeg Kevin Brellenthin - What to expect during your session with me Each person has unique, complex needs.

I had received only a few massages by then and I already knew the amazing benefits massage therapy can have not only the physical pain I was having but also in balancing my emotional wellbeing. I was unsatisfied with my IT career, the long hours of desk sitting and experiencing chronic pain and tension patterns. Something needed to change for my own wellness, my family, and my life satisfaction. I was looking for a holistic approach and went to check out a local massage school. I came away from that open house with a new appreciation for the interconnectedness of Body, Mind and Spirit and a new direction; a passion to help others on their wellness journey using therapeutic massage. I offer therapeutic massage as a venue on a larger holistic approach to one's individual wellness journey. Outside of massage, I enjoy spending time in nature, time with family. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ce25f8ee6257ceaaa1f86/1618801054135-3AL69SK6LE1YHRB8L28H/hands-massage-2480px.jpg Christina McIntosh - What to expect during your session with me In our sessions together you can expect me to partner with you to address your therapeutic goals.

Based on your assessment, I will determine which acupuncture points would be best stimulated in order to bring healing to your body. Once the needles are in place, they are usually left in for 10-20 minutes. The initial evaluation and treatment will usually take one and a half hours, with follow-up sessions lasting one hour. I may also suggest Chinese herbs, diet, exercise, and lifestyle changes, thus providing comprehensive and holistic care. https://unfurlmadison.com/coaching-2 daily 0.75 2025-10-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ce25f8ee6257ceaaa1f86/1619022610150-I01WJMXYBM5FR3QUOZ2C/Gail-mtT-1200px.jpg Gail Coaching - Many years ago, I realized that I was not living the life I truly believed I could be. I didn’t feel fully alive. It was a vague discomfort that I had difficulty putting a finger on, but I knew deep inside that there was something more I needed to be doing with my life. I knew I had a need to live the most authentic life I possibly could, but how? So, I began a journey, which at times was very messy, to find what being “alive” meant to me and to find my authentic truth. This sounds lofty and vague, and, frankly, it’s an unfolding path I’m still walking that not only holds promise but challenge. I learned quickly on my way that it was not about being happy all the time. Instead, it was so much more about being willing to move towards and embrace discomfort, emotional, mental, physical, and even spiritual. As a former firefighter/paramedic, I certainly understood what physical discomfort was, but I had a long way to go with my willingness to push myself into mental and emotional discomfort. That was unexplored territory. By being willing to explore that discomfort, I have come to understand that my mind and my thoughts as well as my emotions or feelings have a profound influence on my experience in life. They influence the actions I take as well as those I don’t take, which, ultimately create the results I have in my life -my experience of life. I am still discovering new spaces in myself, and it has been through life coaching, which includes but is so much more than self-help/self-care, that I have gained the ground I stand on today. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ce25f8ee6257ceaaa1f86/1620421968552-IRAWJ81WJO1SWB8E8LDS/Gail%26Regina_drum-1200px.jpg Gail Coaching In my desire to deeply understand myself and live my own best life, I’ve found that deeply understanding others and helping them discover and attain their own best lives, was exactly what helped me be as alive as possible. As I found my own empowerment, I strove to empower others with the same tools/skills I was learning. I also realized that experiencing my own messy, human moments brought me to a place of more understanding and compassion for all humans. In my process of loving my full self, it became clear that embracing all the humans, in all of their good and bad aspects is an integral part of that journey. I love coaching people because not only is it a way to be of service and help others, but it’s also a place where I continue to learn about myself and all humans. Throughout this process, I have pushed my zone of comfort in so many more ways, as these photos illustrate. But there’s so much more that can be seen in a picture, and that is exactly why life coaching has such power, in my opinion. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ce25f8ee6257ceaaa1f86/1619101762396-DI32H9KJI0F75MBRUZ0M/Gail-stairclimb-1200px.jpg Gail Coaching https://unfurlmadison.com/coaching-3 daily 0.75 2025-10-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ce25f8ee6257ceaaa1f86/b9381d8d-f4c4-4d34-8a38-c3569a06d604/IMG_4200.jpeg General Coaching Page - Coaching at Unfurl Life Coaching Wellness Coaching Surgical Coaching At Unfurl we have teamed up with two incredible coaches to bring you a variety of options that can help you on your life path.

But there’s so much more that can be seen in a picture, and that is exactly why life coaching has such power, in my opinion. Collaborating is the keyword in coaching. The client is always the expert at their lives, and as their coach, I bring the knowledge and skills they need to up-level their lives and evolve into their best selves. The process I use is called “causal coaching”, which uncovers the cause of one’s problem rather than treat the symptoms. It’s also referred to as Thought Work which uses a logical process to gain awareness around how our brains and emotions play such a huge role in our overall experience of our lives. In my role as Life Coach, I bring the experience of having been a career firefighter/paramedic for the City of Madison Fire Dept.(Wisconsin) for almost 30 years. During my last 3-4 years, I was fortunate enough to be one of the first Community paramedics for the department. This began my passion for coaching people- starting with Health Coaching, Wellness Coaching (certified by WellCoaches) and finally getting certified by The Life Coach School as a Life and Weight Coach. In addition to coaching clients and providing Wellness Webinars, I also volunteer at a local community center to bring Life and Health Coaching to populations who have less access to this kind of service. It is my sincere desire to offer and teach my clients the tools they need to succeed on their own terms. My vision of “success” is for each client not only to have more personal empowerment but also, ultimately, not need the services I provide.
