About Apple Seeds
Welcome to Apple Seeds Wellness, a place that believes to achieve better health you have to start somewhere. And where better to start than with one of the systems of your body that makes movement possible, your musclular system.
The human body is an incredible piece of design. From all the individual tasks each system is responsible for, to the way the systems all affect & influence each other to create a singular living, breathing, & moving entity that is a human being. To the way different parts will pick up the slack of an injured body part to maintain movement & function (compensation). When compensation occures, though amazing & necessary, it often will result in pain in some fashion or another.
Massage & Bodywork is a way to assist the body back to wellness & improved function. While I am all about the quantity of someone's life, I am also just as driven by the quality of their life. This includes providing competent care through massage & bodywork as well as a comforting & safe space. Apple Seeds Wellness provides the skill to assist your body in managing it's own healing journey, it also provides the space for your mind & spirit to lay down it's concerns for a little while knowing they will still be there for you to pick back up after.
Mind & Spirit need some additional TLC? Well, that's what The Counseling Affect is there for. They can help you navigate the puzzles, challenges, & opportunies that life often presents. Their therapists are kind, understanding, & qualified to give you an assist when life is just being life. Often times there is no way through but to keep going through, BUT, that doesn't mean you have to go through alone.

Hi There!
My name is Bethany Reed & I am a Licensed Massage Therapist in the state of Arkansas since 2016, specializing in working with Fibromyalgia. I am originally from Illinois where I went to school & began practicing in July of 2007. My massage & bodywork career has taken various turns & had different focuses based on where I am in life. I have completed many hours of continuing education because of this. In the beginning, I was primarily full-body focused with an emphasis toward deep tissue work & sports, that way I could first say "I am deep tissue therapist!" & second help my athlete husband (I'll admit my priorities were a bit off to start. Hindsight is 20/20 and all).
After that, I focused a lot on pre-natal work, abdominal work, fertility, & the neck. And over the years I have continued to evolve in my career to include working with cancer patients, pseudo-sciatica, cupping, general hip complaints, headaches/migraines, scar tissue work, more in low back/hips/pelvis/abdomen, more into the neck & shoulders, cranial-sacral, and Fibromyalgia.
Now, the last one may seem a little out of left field compared to the rest, but really it's not. Fibromyalgia is a chronic pain condition of the central nervous system where the nerves do not respond to the given stimuli appropriately & do not necessarily disengage when they should. It is also accompanied with a host of side-syndromes that seem to be a surprise bag from patient to patient. To work with Fibromyalgia effectively you have to be able think outside the box & potentially use learned tools & techniques in different ways than you had originally been taught. This type of critical thinking is my kind of catnip. This also means that my original "full-body focus" has changed as well. Sometimes a full-body approach is best, because when I say "it's all connected" I mean I have worked on someone's shoulder while they told me they could feel it in their toe..... It's ALL connected. But this also means that sometimes you just need someone to make sure you neck is on the right way because you're sure your pillow has it out for you even though you've done nothing but give it good vibes. The absolute best part about Massage & Bodywork is the simple fact that it is all adjustable.
On top of my love of massage & bodywork, I am a mother, aunt, sister, friend, daughter, & wife. I will always do my best to support those who grace me with their trust by getting on my table or contacting me with questions or seeking resources. With that said, my family is my first priority & there may be times where something comes up & I have to reschedule (it is not likely to happen often, I'm a bit of a stickler for maintaining my appointments). Please remember that while life is happening to you, it is also happening to those around you including paid professionals. So let's all remember kindness because let's be honest, there's enough stress.
