Personalized healthcare that treats the whole person—not just the diagnosis.
Welcome! I’m Dr. J. Celeste Ruland, a Licensed Naturopathic Doctor and Licensed Massage Therapist with advanced training in somatic therapy, homeopathy, movement, and natural medicine.
I believe, and have seen over the last 20 years of treating patients, that true healing happens when we care for the whole person. Your nervous system, physical body, lifestyle, emotions, nutrition, movement, and environment all influence your health. Rather than simply managing symptoms, I help uncover the patterns that contribute to your dis-ease, so we can create a personalized plan that supports your body’s natural ability to heal.
Whether you’re seeking relief from chronic pain, digestive concerns, hormone imbalance, fatigue, stress, anxiety, trauma, or simply want to feel healthier and more connected to yourself, my goal is to provide thoughtful, individualized care that meets you where you are.
Healing begins by listening to the body.

“Somatic Therapy: The Missing Link Between Healing and Achieving Your Goals”
Somatic Therapy is a guided internal journey that strengthens your connection to your body and nervous system. By my guidance either in person or virtually, I help you safely tune into your mind, body, sensations, emotions, and imagination, so you can experience:
Greater awareness, presence, and resilience
Completion and release of survival patterns (fight/flight/freeze)
Freedom from trauma, fear, emotional obstacles, or self-doubt
Greater clarity, motivation, and the ability to achieve personal, professional, and relationship goals
Wellness Rising was established by Dr. J. Celeste Ruland in 2015 with the goal to help each individual achieve their own optimal health. Adding Somatic therapy and focusing on nervous system balancing, functional and foundational wellness methods, in 2026 we have changed names to EMBODIED THERAPEUTICS 🙂

My mission is to help you reconnect with your body, restore balance to your nervous system, and create the conditions for lasting health.
I believe healing happens when we work with the body’s innate wisdom—not against it. Rather than chasing symptoms, we uncover the patterns that contribute to pain, stress, fatigue, and chronic health concerns, while supporting your body’s natural capacity to heal.
As a Naturopathic Doctor, Somatic Therapist, and Licensed Massage Therapist, I integrate evidence-informed natural medicine with therapeutic bodywork, nervous system regulation, movement, nutrition, and lifestyle medicine to create personalized care that meets you where you are.
My approach may include:
Somatic therapy for nervous system regulation, stress, trauma, and emotional resilience
Therapeutic massage, bodywork, cupping, gua sha, IASTM, and myofascial techniques to decrease pain and improve mobility
Individualized naturopathic care that addresses root causes rather than simply managing symptoms
Lifestyle, nutrition, sleep, and movement strategies that support your body’s natural rhythms
Functional laboratory interpretation when clinically appropriate
Education and practical tools that empower you to understand your body and participate actively in your healing
Whether your goal is to reduce pain, restore energy, improve sleep, support hormone or digestive health, recover from burnout, or simply feel more at home in your body, we will create a personalized path toward sustainable well-being.
Healing is not about perfection. It is about becoming more connected, more resilient, and more fully embodied.
