ACUPUNCTURE SESSIONS!

MiaLara is one of four siblings who grew up in the small town of Napoleon, North Dakota. As a relative of Sister Rosalind Gefre, an early pioneer of therapeutic massage for healing in the Twin Cities, she was able to witness how someone could help people heal through touch therapy. This is where Mia’s passion for helping others was first sparked, eventually leading her to follow Sister Rosalind’s path and graduated from Globe University in Moorhead, MN as a Licensed Massage Therapist in 2017. Her passion for helping others has continued as she pursued further education, receiving her master’s degree in Acupuncture in August 2020.

Currently, Mia is dedicated to improving the health and overall well-being of every patient by listening to each one of their needs and goals. She is excited to be a part of her clients’ healing journey.

In Mia’s free time you can find her biking, geocaching, or watching reruns of episodes of her favorite TV show, Friends. She enjoys spending time with her husband, Michael, playing their favorite sports and traveling – where she loves editing videos of her adventures. Family means everything to Mia and she is always eager to talk about and share her stories.
