We offer Therapeutic and Relaxation Massages with options for hot stones and cupping therapy. Other offerings include the John F. Barnes approach to Myofascial Release, Couples and Four-Handed Massages, and Reiki. We believe movement is medicine and manual therapy to be a unique science and form of art.
Art heals. Our mission is to create a calming, healing environment to aide others in expanding their awareness in pursuit of bodily balance. Our vision is to assist others on the path of finding their own self-care practice by sharing our knowledge from our holistic values and practice.

Services
Cassie and Jake are the only two therapists available. Please refer to our individual service descriptions below to decide which of us is best for each of you. Our two unique styles blend into one as we work together to relax your mind and ease your tension. This service has a therapeutic focus, meaning he will approach muscular chains that are associated to your issue, always keeping your goals in mind.
We are a small treatment room located inside Yama Yoga, one block away from the Public Market in the Third Ward of Milwaukee. Look out for the faceless buffalo as well as Yama Yoga's signage on the front entrance of the building. You can find free parking near Menomonee St., Jackson St., Jefferson St., the end of Milwaukee St and also on S Water.
Currently, I offer two weekly public Yoga class at Yama Yoga. The classes are Yang Yoga every Thursday @ 5:30 pm CDT and Yin Yoga every Thursday at 7:00 pm CDT. The intention of this class is to stoke the inner fire with breathwork and flowing postures. This is a slow and restorative practice with time for meditation.

We had a couples massage and it was such a wonderful experience! My husband got a really relaxing massage from Cassie and I had more of a deep tissue massage. He was fantastic and found spots I didn't even know were sore and worked on areas in ways I've never had done before. Definitely give this place a try!

This was my first massage at Somatic Arts, and it won't be my last!!! I came in with several issues in need of a deep tissue massage and Jake hit every spot. He asked plenty of interview questions and the short story is I walked out feeling great knowing that everything I described was attended to.
I would recommend Jake and Somatic to anyone seeking relief! Thanks Guys!!!!!

I had a massage with Jake today and I give it a 10/10. I am just visiting the area, but if I was a local I would be a regular for sure. I loved how he really focused on my body/needs and did not do some canned massage (we’ve all had those massages where the masseuse does the same thing multiple times a day). Go see him and you won’t be disappointed!

Cassie is my favorite massage therapist of all time. She really takes the time beforehand to ask about any problem areas you may have. I like how she customizes the message to what you need. Then afterward she gave me some advice on stretches/self-message techniques to do at home in between appointments. I highly recommend her services, especially every 4-8 weeks for best results.

Cassie is a very welcoming person! I would highly recommend Somatic Arts Massage, especially deep tissue with hot rocks and/or cupping. However, that is not the only expertise that Cassie possesses.
She knows her art and techniques, and it feels very natural and comforting.
The massage room is very cozy and relaxing as well.
I have only tried a few massage places in Downtown Milwaukee area, my best experience has been at Somatic so far, and I look forward to going there again!

Cassie and Jake offer a wide range of professional services that I highly recommend to anyone wanting to improve health and body functions. They have both extensive studies in body work and respective studies. I do not easily allow others to work with myself because of my sensitives and needs. They were more than willing to accommodate my needs and go beyond. Go check it out yourself!!!!

My partner and I received a wonderful couples massage from both Cassie and Jake. Scheduling was quick and easy. Cassie was quick to respond to my questions and provided a great and informative explanation of many of their services. All COVID guidelines were followed, Cassie and Jake were masked throughout our massage, and provided us the opportunity to remove ours while laying face down. Cassie and Jake were very communicative about their styles and throughout the process regarding pressure and optional hot stone/cupping integrations. Such a wonderful experience, would highly recommend, and will

I got a full body massage from Cassie and it was fantastic! Just what I needed. I was feeling quite stressed with everything going on in 2020 and decided to book an appointment on a whim. The massage was super relaxing and just made me feel at peace. She does hot stones, cupping and just the right amount of pressure on your problem areas.
I will definitely schedule a follow-up appointment.

I don’t normally give reviews, however I feel that I need to express my experience at Somatic arts massage. As this was my first time, I was “interviewed” by Jake. He asked me if I had any areas I wanted him to focus on or problem areas. As I am not new to massages, I indicated I wanted him to focus on my mid to upper back as it was very tight. I told him I worked out a few days ago and my legs were sore. I understand that and was not expecting a full body massage but focus on my problem areas. During the massage, Jake used cups and hot stones to help relax the muscles. He did not focus on

My husband and I had a couples massage here earlier today. I had Jake for a deep tissue massage and it felt great! Jake also introduced me to hot stones and cupping. It was very comfortable. My husband had Cassie for a relaxing massage. He said he really enjoyed it and felt wonderful afterwards. We already booked our next couples massage with them!!
Thank you!!
Thank you!!

Hands down, THE BEST MASSAGE I have ever experienced. I didn’t know that I could feel so good. CASSIE is extremely INTUITIVE, KNOWLEDGEABLE, THOROUGH, PERSONABLE, and even more importantly, someone who cares deeply about her craft.
Each session has been tailored to my needs and customized with things like HOT TOWELS, AROMATHERAPY, HOT STONES, CUPPING, and MYOFASCIAL RELEASE…all of which have been absolutely amazing!
I will continue to go to her for all massage needs and I give her the highest recommendation for anyone looking for an excellent, personalized massage experience. If I could give

I just had my first massage with Cassie and Jake and chose their "four hands" option. The entire experience was the most immersive, relaxing, reinvigorating and professional that I have ever had. From the use of essential oils, hot towels and hot stones to the wonderful attention and effort they put into the massage I am truly impressed. They have a new customer that will be back often. Highly recommend!!!! A++++++++++

Somatic Arts Massage is a wonderful place to get a massage. A one time appointment has turned into a once a month regular appointment I consider part of my health care regime. I was impressed with Cassie's knowledge. She knows where to focus just by the way your muscles feel. She is really in tune with what you need at that particular session and will adjust the massage to address your issues. My back is very happy I found Cassie! Highly recommended!!!

I feel like Groupon gets me in the door of a lot of places and this was one of them. I got a deep tissue massage about a month ago from Somatic and I am so glad I did! From booking to the day I got there, staff was professional and made me feel comfortable and relaxed.
Finding the entrance can be tricky. You go down a few hallways and up a flight of stairs, but they have detailed instructions once you book! My massage went a little over my allotted time (which I wasn't mad about) and Jake clearly communicated through the massage to ensure that the pressure was okay. I highly recommend checking
