![]() She primarily treats chronic pain, and other chronic but treatable illnesses both psychological and physiological. (RSHom (NA) means registered by the North American Society of Homeopaths, and CCH means certified by the Council for Homeopathic Certifications) and also practices rolfing, cranio-sacral therapy, and functional medicine, a kind of evidence-based individualized nutritional counseling. Jones, CCH RSHom (NA) is certified in classical homeopathy. Unlike the parent collective, though, Functional Wellness Minneapolis, or Sandy Jones, the sole healing practitioner, has an excellent, function-rich website where you can learn all about her practice and even book an appointment. But beware, some of the practitioners may no longer be at the location, although hopefully the phone number is still good. ![]() If you’re looking for other therapists besides the one mentioned here, I would recommend you check the door and contact them individually by phone. Note: Shenandoah Wellness had a social media presence a couple of years ago but their Facebook page as well as their website appears out of date, so perhaps they have decided to return to more traditional means of reaching potential clients. The SCABA site’s description of the building and its history is interesting: “Originally constructed as an automotive service station, the … Shenandoah Wellness Center long served as a gun shop! Now, the far more peaceful location houses holistic health practitioners who provide services in bodywork and massage therapy, counseling, music therapy, rolfing, homeopathy and more to residents in the thriving neighborhood near 48th and Chicago and its surrounding communities in South Minneapolis.” One of the practices located in the wellness center is called Functional Wellness Minneapolis. Individual practices advertise their own services, but the building as a whole is a member of the SCABA, the South Chicago Avenue Business Association. Shenandoah Wellness Center is apparently a collective. So, with four suites of professional offices, each housing 10 or more practices of which perhaps a third or more are massage therapy, there may be as many as 20 bodywork therapists to choose from on one very busy corner. And finally, on the same side of Chicago but in the next block north, after Turtle Bread, and the pizza, and the ice cream, is yet another suite of professional offices, this one called the Parkway Office Building, with more massage, alternative healing and psychotherapy. On the west side of Chicago between 48th and 49th is a building called Chicago Plaza Suites, which houses about a dozen more various practices, including the Family Enhancement Center, about which more below. It has perhaps a dozen or more practices housed part-time within, about a third psychotherapy, a third massage, a third “other.” Then on the upstairs level of the Shenandoah Building proper, there are 10 or more private practices of various kinds. First, across 48th Street from the coffee shop, there is a group of many healing practices in a little building detached from the Shenandoah Building called the Shenandoah Wellness Center. After lunch, we decided to try to see just how many alternative wellness places there were in a four-square-block area. They have excellent food there (we had a spinach pie and some roasted balsamic brussels sprouts) and it may be the most kid friendly coffee shop in town, with an entire room dedicated to an indoor playground where moms with young children can (semi-) relax on their own with their kids. ![]() We started our exploration with a nice lunch at the coffee shop Sovereign Grounds. We did a quick site visit of the corner last week to check out the state of things. So, we’re looking at some healing organizations and one new and interesting retail business which could also be said to have a therapeutic or at least self-improvement aspect. Nothing much is happening with the restaurants and such they just keep ticking along for the most part. The retail mix includes a movie theatre turned multimedia venue, several good casual restaurants and pubs, a coffee house, various retail shops, and absolutely bags of alternative wellness practices and psychotherapists, along with the odd life coach and a lawyer or two. In general, things are pretty stable around this location, with its prosperous but not flashy real estate, great schools, and strong neighborhood organizations and business owners’ association. ![]() We have discovered some interesting goods and services on Chicago Avenue around the 48th Street commercial hub.
