Healing begins with being seen and heard
I was born in Minnesota, I babysat for multiple families in my teens and at fifteen, I became a certified nursing assistant. While working in nursing homes, I was introduced to the natural dying process. After a few very impressionable experiences with death, my outlook on life would be forever changed. I moved to Chicago at twenty-three and settled for another twenty-three years in Indiana close to Lake Michigan, I like to say this is where I grew up. A mother of three sons, plagued with declining health that included cancer, a spinal fusion, several unsuccessful surgeries and a disability, that would all prove to teach me about real good care and the importance of emotional health. Suggestions for alternative healing, introduced me to a few key teachers during this time. Catherine Ashton, taught how to teach yoga and mindfulness with unprecedented eloquence. David Cowan, taught Lomi healing, Qi gong and strengthened my spirituality by sharing different cultural traditions and ancient wisdoms. Both of them have left this realm already and the loss was profound. Seeking more guidance, another invitation was presented by a former primary care physician. Tom Dworniczek, offered an introduction to shamanism course that helped me understand and put together my spiritual gifts. I started my business as I was learning how to restore my own health. I offer yoga, meditation and massage. In my mid-forties, my hip joint failed from an underlying unknown dysplasia, bringing enormous change to my entire way of moving in this body. I relocated to Vermont to immerse in the mountains and continue my healing in nature and solitude. I would have bilateral hip replacements, just about two years apart with some outstanding holistic care. Acupuncture, massage, kundalini yoga, physical therapy, clean local food and steep inclines to walk, all aided in a steady recovery. During this time, I took an End-of-Life Doula training through the University of Vermont. Circling back, it was one of my highest honors to be with someone as they cross the threshold of life into death. Spring of 2026, I made my way home to Minnesota to enjoy the family I helped make, including a new generation! I have gone great lengths to love myself in a better way for them and people like you.

Arin creates the perfect environment for an amazing massage experience. Her peaceful presence and well integrated techniques leave you feeling both grounded and protected as well as light as air. She integrates her yoga and spiritual backgrounds into her bodywork. As a bodyworker of more than two decades myself, I can’t sing her praises enough.

Had the most relaxing massage by Arin last night. I mean seriously…wow. A lot of massage places will do the same technique on everyone, but she pays attention to detail. She works on the areas you need extra attention paid to. Very relaxing and meditative as well. Such a genuine and caring person with amazing energy, you won’t be disappointed!

Arin's healing energy aura provided a much, long overdue, 1-1/2 hour, incredible massage for my stressed out, aching body. She is such an amazing soul whom I finally found to provide me with healing energy through her massage. My mental well-being also benefits from Arin's positive energy. I've been to massage therapists for well over 30 years and there's only been three other massage therapists that I gravitated to for their energy, healing work; all are no longer in practice. I travel nearly an hour's drive to see Arin which speaks highly for itself. Arin's healing energy work and massage techniques are well worth the trip!

This was one of the most amazing massages I’ve ever had in my life! Not only is Arin super professional, but I feel like she has mystical hands. She was able to take the stress out of the areas where I carry: at my back, my neck, my shoulders, and even places I didn’t know that I carried it! Along the way she taught me and helped me to understand what I need to do to be more centered, more focused, and at the end of the massage, I felt rejuvenated.

Arin, owner of Holistic by Otis was one of the first people I met when I moved - she welcomed me into her studio space with open arms, she immediately made me feel at ease, I could tell she truly cared and had a deep desire to help serve and support her clients. She has a way about her that makes you feel seen heard and valued. Not only did I practice yoga with Arin but, received amazing body work (massage), delighted in delicious tea and her jars of seamoss became a staple in my diet. Im in the world of wellness myself pilates teacher and coach so service from another practitioner is very important to me and Arin is amazing - she truly is a bright light and her services helped me ultimately feel like a better brighter version of myself.

I have nothing but great things to say about Holistic by Otis and Arin. As a physical therapist myself, I understand the importance of healing touch. Arin provides that healing touch and facilitates cleansing of the soul. She makes you feel at ease and does a great job addressing your needs and ailments. I highly recommend her services.

Professional and very knowledgeable. I suffered a car accident at a young age that has left me uncomfortable many years now. I especially appreciated the way she listened to my ailment and focused on specific areas. The release in my back was amazing and for days I had no discomfort even while driving long distances, which can be excruciating at times. She’s got a client for sure. Glad she relocated to Vermont, very pleasant interaction.

I recently had the pleasure of experiencing a soothing bodywork by Arin, and I must say it was an absolute delight. Arin's expertise and attention to detail in relaxation truly set her apart. From the moment I walked into her tranquil studio, I could feel the stresses of the outside world melting away. Arin's training as a Yoga Instructor & relaxation bodywork shines through in her techniques. Each stroke and touch was purposeful and mindful, creating a deeply relaxing experience. It was evident that Arin was well-versed in understanding the origin and action of muscles, as she intuitively applied just the right amount of pressure to release tension and soothe any aching areas. One aspect that impressed me was Arin's ability to create a serene atmosphere. Soft, calming music played in the background, complementing the soft lighting and aromatic scents that filled the room. The ambiance alone was enough to induce a state of tranquility. Throughout the session, Arin's gentle yet firm hands worked their magic, easing away any muscle knots and promoting a sense of deep relaxation. Her rhythmic movements were unhurried, ensuring that I could fully immerse myself in the experience. It felt as though she knew my body's needs better than I did, effortlessly finding and addressing areas of tension. Arin's nurturing and professional demeanor also added to the overall sense of tranquility. She took the time to listen to my concerns and preferences, ensuring that the bodywork was tailored to my specific needs. Her warm and comforting presence immediately put me at ease, allowing me to fully surrender to the experience. I left Arin's studio with a renewed sense of calm and an overall feeling of well-being. The soothing bodywork had not only relieved my physical tension but also rejuvenated my mind and spirit. I cannot recommend Arin's services enough to anyone seeking a truly blissful relaxation experience. Her expertise, attention to detail, and genuine care for her clients make her a true gem in the world of massage therapy. Treat yourself to Arin's soothing bodywork, and you'll discover a whole new level of relaxation.
