Adrianne
Adrianne Stelzenmuller is the owner and founder of Adriatic Therapies; she is dedicated to serving clients who are sincerely interested in exploring and working to set in motion a healing process that breaks through perceived limitations.
Adrianne’s focus is to support the body’s innate healing potential, to bring greater awareness to the varied elements that factor into the healing process. This approach consciously promotes balance and empowers the individual to self-directed health and growth.
Adrianne’s passion for the healing arts is evident in her dedication to meeting the challenges of a modern integrative facilitator. She has earned certifications in Massage Therapy, Personal Training, Aquatic Massage, Watsu, Chinese Acupressure,
Upledger Craniosacral Therapy. Most recently she studied Bio-dynamic Craniosacral Therapy with Heidi Wilson in Tucson AZ. Adrianne is a certified Aquatic Massage Instructor mentored for over 10 years directly by Elaine Marie, the founder of Aquatic Massage.
Adrianne has worked professionally in a variety of situations, including world class destination spas Canyon Ranch Resorts, and Miraval Life in Balance. While on staff at Canyon Ranch, Adrianne was in the Aquatic Therapy, Movement Therapy, Massage Therapy, Hiking, and Mountain Biking departments. She helped to design and implement a comprehensive program to address and heal the fears that many people have about water. She also helped to establish the Aquatic Meditation service, and led guided labyrinth walks. At The Providence Institute, a community-oriented healing arts studio, yoga center, and school, Adrianne worked in the bodytherapy center, personal training studio, and was a member of the teaching staff. She has been in private practice as the owner and lead therapist of Adriatic Therapies since 2005.
What makes Adrianne’s approach to health unusual is the employment of integrated facilitation. Combining her extensive experience, knowledge and passion for health, Adrianne is well equipped to meet the changing individual needs of the client/student. Adrianne also collaborates with other holistic health practitioners to connect the client/student to additional sources of support. This approach to wellness provides clients/students with a well-rounded, dynamic and exciting experience that keeps them interested and activates their creativity as they move through the process of self-exploration, education or healing.
