Gretchen Blycker, MA, LMT has been a holistic practitioner since 1994. Graduating from the Seattle School of Massage and later from Salve Regina University with a Masters of Arts in counseling, Gretchen brings a great wealth of knowlege and a broad range of techniques to her practice, including mindfulness-based psychotherapy and massage therapy.
Halsosam is a Swedish term that means "healthy living" and describes the goal of Gretchen's healing practices-- integrating mind and body-- and supporting mindful experience and communities.
Using the Hakomi method in private practice psychotherapy sessions, Gretchen helps her clients explore themes of safety, support, self-expression and value in a comfortable talking environment. Benefits of this mindfulness-based psychotherapy include improved communication and relationships, as well as a deeper connection to one's own innate resources. In this modality, Gretchen works primarily with women and helps heal the issues that can disempower or distract from having a mindful life.
Traditional massage therapy is also available at Halsosam. Massage can serve as a compliment to one's therapeutic work, or as a stand-alone service. Understanding the importance of a relaxed, de-stressed body in the healing process, Gretchen provides world-class massage and has familiarity with many techniques including shiatsu, sports massage and therapeutic massage. Years of body work on a wide variety of clients has given her a unique and intuitive style that relieves stress and tension, and brings awareness to the body in a relaxing way. >> client testimonials

She is keenly aware of the importance of trust and confidentiality, and works from her office in the Issac Carr House in downtown Jamestown, Rhode Island. >> get directions
