Connie Herris

Sunrise Healing Arts LLC’s creation began when its founder, Connie Herris, was diagnosed with systemic lupus erythematosus and her horse, Critter, developed cancer around the same time. To ease the symptoms of her lupus, she began the usual treatments of steroids and experienced the intense emotional roller coaster associated with the medications. This battle with the medication’s side effects led Connie to look into other possible sources of relief.

The herbs that a friend suggested to reduce Critter’s cancerous tumors led to the discovery of natural remedies for her own condition. She began learning more about vitamins, minerals, and other natural alternatives to better control her lupus. This discovery led her to study with Certified Natural Health Professionals, and in 2000, she became CNHP certified.

With a desire to improve herself physically, Connie started practicing Jujitsu for both strength and coordination. She got her black belt and opened her own dojo, St. Croix Martial Arts.

A woman of many talents, Connie became involved with massage therapy as well. In 2004, she became a certified massage practitioner. She became a licensed massage therapist & bodyworker, in the state of Wisconsin in 2010, and this skill has become the core of Sunrise Healing Arts LLC.

Sunrise Healing Arts, LLC Mission Statement:
Whether is is from an emotional or a physical source,
stress is in our lives on a daily basis. For many, stress
can talk control and result in pain or disease.

The mission of Sunrise Healing Arts is to help relieve
the stress in our daily lives through therapeutic
massage and other alternative modalities.

The intention is to gain health and awareness in
body, mind and spirit.

I believe, given the chance thru alternative practices, the body and mind can heal itself.
I believe with the work I do, the body and mind can do just that.

The first visit is a "get to know you visit." So time is spent on learning about your life style, hobbies, family, etc. Then we talk about areas of concern to determine whether massage or bodywork would be best suited for your session. Each session is different and geared towards your needs at the time.

Learning Reiki opened my passion to learn about healing work. This led me to Healing Touch, Cranial Sacral Therapy, Jin Shin Jyutsu, and Essential oils.
