About Threshold Healing
A trauma-informed approach to bodywork.
I work with many body types including older bodies, large bodies (all size bodies), transgender/a-gender/queer bodies, athletes at every level and during/post/pre-pregnancy.
Threshold Healing takes a trauma-informed approach to bodywork — Alyssa works with trauma as it shows in the body.
Alyssa Hill (she/they)
Alyssa Hill (she/they) is trained in a variety of massage modalities and somatic therapies. In 2007 she decided to start healing work beginning with Reiki training, a modality she found useful and exciting as she started to learn yoga and AcroYoga.
In 2010 she began officially training in professional massage, starting with Thai Yoga Bodywork and AcroYoga. She also completed an 80 hour AcroYoga Teacher training with AcroYoga Montreal in the summer of 2010.
Her Thai Yoga Bodywork training, an extensive 300 hour education, was completed in 2011. She holds Advanced Practitioner status through Devanadi Yoga Studio and the Thai Healing Alliance International. She also completed a 900 hour Advanced Therapeutic Massage training program at CenterPoint Massage and Shiatsu School in 2015.
She has 80+ hours of training through Coaching the Body Institute in Chicago, a school focusing on Clinical Thai Bodywork, a massage modality that uses Trigger Point release techniques to quickly release pain and disfunction from muscle tissue. Her other trainings include Craniosacral healing, advanced techniques in Trigger Point release, Chi Nei Tsang (abdominal massage), Fire Cupping and Gua Sha with Kim Hart of Adagio Holistic, Ayurvedic massage, Flower Essences training, Chakra balancing techniques, Somatic Energy Integration, and aura visualization. Currently she is studying Somatic Experiencing through Somatic Experiencing International (with intention to complete training in 2028) and her honing clairvoyant, clairaudient and clairsentient abilities through healing touch and distance healing techniques. She also studies plant medicines in Iquitos, Peru at Nihue Rao, with Ayahuasca healing, though does not serve this medicine.
Outside of running Threshold Healing in Minneapolis, she also lives and works in Amherst, WI where she sees clients virtually for somatic healing and in person for massage.
When not working she seasonally harvests wild rice and maple syrup in northern Minnesota/Wisconsin, and hunts and grows culinary mushrooms. She enjoys weightlifting, bicycle riding, and sailing.
In the fall of 2017 she shifted into the most important role of her life, motherhood. She now has two rad little humans (Ursa and Minerva) that she has the elite privilege of co-facilitating into adulthood.
She firmly believes all bodies are valuable and truly incredible. She always works to approach life and bodywork from a trauma-informed approach. She enjoys healing herself, facilitating healing in others, and living life like it is important.
Alyssa is currently seeing new clients virtaully and in central Wisconsin in person. Please reach out to schedule virtual somatic work.

While we are experiencing the Covid-19 outbreak, clients are no longer required to wear a high-quality face mask during your session, you may request your practitioner wear a mask at any time. All of our staff is fully vaccinated. We follow all CDC guidelines for Covid-19 in a massage setting.
We are grateful for gratuity though it is not expected. Our therapists are all well compensated for their excellent work. If you choose to leave a gratuity, the full amount will go directly to your therapist.
Payments can be made with cash, check, or credit card.
All payments are due at the time of service or booking, payments made after time of service (e.g. billing insurance company) will be billed at $60/15min. The cost of the massage is based on the time booked. If you arrive at your appointment late, your end time and cost will remain the same.
Cancellation Policy
We have a 24hr cancellation policy. If you cancel your appointment prior to 24hrs there will be no fee. After this time, we charge 50% of the cost of the appointment. IF you are more than 15 min late to your appointment (without contacting your practitioner) it will be seen as forfeited and we will charge the full cost of the appointment. Exceptions to this policy MAY be made for medical/family emergencies or weather if local schools are cancelled.
