About

Rebecca Peters, Massage Therapist

Rebecca Peters, BA, RYT, LMT, NCTMB

 

I graduated from Drury University in 2001 with a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology with minors in Biology and Chemistry. I soon moved to Columbia and began working for the University of Missouri.

 

My love of knowledge led me to study massage therapy in 2007. I graduated from the Massage Therapy Institute of Missouri with the 600-hour certification. I am Nationally Certified in Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork by the NCBTMB, and am a member of the American Massage Therapy Association. I have completed an additional twelve hours of continuing education in hot stone massage and fifteen hours in aromatherapy.

 

I have also been a student of yoga since 2000, and have traveled to Switzerland and Boston for yoga retreats. I am also a registered yoga teacher, offering public classes and private lessons.

 

Bellelune – What does that mean?

 

Bellelune is a combination of two French words meaning “beautiful” and “moon.” I like to think of the concept of yin-yang. Where “yang” is very bright, sunny, and active, “yin” conveys dark, moonlight, and rest. The image of the moon is a restful one to me. How wonderful it is to rest! When we allow ourselves to relax fully and slow down the whirlwind of our lives with wellness activities like massage and yoga, we can truly be more present in the more active times. We need that balance!
