Massage Therapists

Cody Schuler, LMT

Techniques: Medical Massage, Deep Tissue, Sports & Swedish Massage

John Souder, LMT

Techniques: Light and medium pressure, deep tissue, trigger-point, cranial-sacral, prenatal, sports and reflexology

With over a decade of experience, John specializes in relieving trigger points and helping clients return to a state of balance and ease. His approach blends Deep Tissue Massage, Reflexology, Aromatherapy, Craniosacral Therapy, Cupping, and targeted stretching—all delivered with intention, care, and a focus on lasting wellness.

He’s known for combining therapeutic depth with calming relaxation. Whether you’re seeking focused relief or simply a space to unwind, John customizes each session to meet your needs. Many clients even fall asleep during treatment—a sign, he says, that the body truly feels safe and supported.

John’s journey into massage began after recovering from his own injuries while working at UPS. That healing experience led him to study at the Arizona School of Massage Therapy and ultimately sparked his passion for helping others. Now back in his hometown of Ferndale and serving Whatcom County, he continues to offer grounded, effective bodywork to every client who walks through the door.

When he’s not working, you’ll find John lifting weights, playing classic video games, or taking slow walks through the park—caffeine and playlist in hand.

Stephanie Russo, LMT

Techniques: Injury Treatment, Deep Tissue, Myofacial Release, Acupressure, and Relaxation

Since graduating from Spectrum School of Massage in 1994, I have enjoyed the

privilege of practicing massage; removing a bit of tension from the world, one
treatment at a time, is rewarding in and of itself.

It’s been proven that relaxation enhances healing, and my experienced hands
are skilled in a colorful palette of techniques for easing away tension with
respectful, compassionate touch. I specialize in slow, soothing techniques,
attuning to your verbal and non-verbal communications to gauge the pressure
needed.

In my experience, cupping is quite effective but under-utilized. It is an
ancient healing art from Asia, using suction to gently release restrictions from
deeper tissues, increasing blood flow, breaking up adhesions, and is a useful
complement for most pain relief treatments, including chronic conditions like scoliosis and restrictive scar tissue.

I moved to Bellingham to complete a Biology degree at WWU, and stayed for the
awe-inspiring beauty and the friendly community here. I love my peaceful country
home, with my husband, two dogs, and three cats, and our backyard nature
sanctuary.

Kim Headshot

Kim Strotkamp, LMT

Techniques: Deep Tissue, Myofacial Release, Trigger Point Therapy

My love for massage started in my youth; Mom was a LPN and applied massage therapy as pain reliever and was naturally gifted. Over the years I have developed an intuitive touch. I listen to what my client’s body is telling me and facilitate healing through massage.

Kim, a long-time resident of the Skagit Valley, pursued a massage degree at Whatcom Community College. With over 15 years of experience, she enjoys practicing massage and spending time outdoors, boating, hiking, roller skating and crabbing. Kim lives in La Conner with her husband, two step-daughters, and their dog, Dulce. Kim also loves to engage in artistic and home improvement projects. Her family enjoys traveling to Arizona, California, and Hawaii.

Sheryl Correll-Brown, LMT

Techniques: Light and medium pressure, deep tissue, trigger-point, cranial-sacral, prenatal & relaxation

Bellingham has been my home base for twenty five years. I have been in the massage profession for over thirty years. During this time, I worked with many different healthcare professionals including; chiropractors, physical therapists, acupuncturist, naturopaths and a variety of bodyworkers as well as western medicine physicians.

I am fortunate to have had the opportunity to travel throughout my career to different countries and the United States. Some of my excursions included working with surf kayaker team, cyclists, triathletes and river kayaking.

Massage therapy also helps me personally with previous injuries, current self-care and general wellness.

Whatever you choose as part of your “wellness plan”, I hope massage has or will be integrated in that plan. I believe massage therapy is powerful and healing!

Andrèa Villhauer, LMT

Techniques: Relaxation, Deep Tissue, Cupping, Craniosacral, Intra-Oral Massage, and Pregnancy

I became interested in massage as a potential career after attending a wellness event at a previous job, and knew this was the path for me. I started researching the benefits of massage and became interested in the different healing modalities.

I graduated from WCC with a certificate in massage therapy and from there started working in a spa. Eventually, I moved on to work at a chiropractor’s office and am now excited to be at Barkley.
