‘If you’re looking for any sort of wellness, this is where you come’

MARSHFIELD – For those unfamiliar with body pods, lymphatic sleeves, salt booths or photobiomodulation helmets, a world of high-tech wellness awaits at Be Well Studio. 

Founder/Owner Rachel Bredl-Hryndej said this is just some of the state-of-the-art equipment available at Be Well, as she continued to add new options since opening last October. 

“We accumulated 12 or 13 or 14 pieces of equipment in a matter of a month,” she said. 

Now, with “$200,000 worth of technology,” Bredl-Hryndej said Be Well – located at 601 S. Central Ave., Suite 400, in Marshfield – offers the following user-operated technology for all manner of maladies: 

• Hume Body Pod                                        
• CompressRx Lymphatic Sleeves          
• TheraJet Hydro Massage Bed               
• Aqualieve Fire/Ice Massage Chair     
• Vibretics Plate                                        
• Aero Infrared Sauna Booth                   
• Aero Salt Booth                                        
• Photobiomodulation Helmet               
• TheraVive PEMF                                        
• SolaDerm Red Light Bed                        
• TheraVive Pelvic Floor Chair         

When new clientele see the extensive list of offerings, Bredl-Hryndej said they don’t need to know what all the equipment does – rather stop into Be Well and try it for themselves.  

“We let everyone experience all of the tech on a first visit,” she said. “We show you [how to use it] and give you a little brief introduction on each thing, just so you know what it is and how it feels.” 

One such feature, Bredl-Hryndej said, is the “medical-grade hydrotherapy” of the TheraJet Hydro Massage Bed, which provides a full-body massage from water jets on one side. 

“[It provides] water massage, but you’re on top of a water bladder, so you’re dry – you don’t have to get undressed, you don’t get wet – you just lie on the bed,” she said. 

Bredl-Hryndej said the Aqualieve Fire/Ice Massage Chair is a “contrast-therapy massage chair “that provides massage along with heat and cold, alternating therapies designed for recovery.

Men and women – from high schoolers to octogenarians – she said, come to Be Well to achieve “better sleep, weight loss, increased immune system response, [for] aesthetic reasons, skin care reasons” and more. 

“Our red-light bed is awesome for collagen production and anti-aging…,” she said. “And we have compression leg sleeves for lymphatic and circulatory stuff for legs and leg recovery.” 

Bredl-Hryndej said initial visits to Be Well include a consultation, where clients are asked about their wellness goals.

Recognizing “wellness is different for each person,” and goals change throughout life – whether due to age, unexpected injury or seasonal illness – she said clients have access to any equipment they desire, purchasing credits that are not device-specific. 

“Each piece of equipment [costs] a different number of credits – kind of like when you go to the carnival and the Ferris wheel is five tickets, the Tilt-A-Whirl’s four tickets and that kind of thing,” she said. 

Open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday and 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturdays, Bredl-Hryndej said clients can stop in as often as they’d like, typically using at least two pieces of equipment per visit, with some using three or four.

Some devices, she said, complete a session in just 10 minutes, whereas others last up to 30. 

“All you have to do is sit there, and you can play on your phone or you can read a book or you can relax, but all you have to do is come in and sit and push ‘play,’” she said. “That’s the general premise behind our equipment.” 

Bredl-Hryndej said Be Well will continue to expand its equipment options to make the wellness center a destination for those seeking to heal or feel better. 

“If you’re looking for any sort of wellness, this is where you come,” she said. 

More than massage 

By day, Bredl-Hryndej said she works as a licensed massage therapist with 20 years of experience, operating her practice – RELIEF! Soft Tissue Therapies – in a suite neighboring Be Well Studio. 

“My calling is to help and heal,” she said, adding that she got her start in fourth grade by treating her mother – who “suffers from debilitating, chronic pain” – on an at-home massage table. 

Bredl-Hryndej said she has always dreamed of operating a comprehensive medical center that includes massage, acupuncture, orthopedic care, sports medicine, water therapies and other services.

Though she intended to start with her massage practice and grow from there, Bredl-Hryndej said “that dream evolved as I struggled to bring in staff and keep people here to help.” 

Hindered by the same contemporary recruitment/retention challenges affecting many industries, Bredl-Hryndej said, made it difficult to grow services, leading her to explore healing technologies instead. 

She said her research led her to explore the potential health benefits of electromagnetic frequencies, ideas studied in the 19th and 20th centuries by inventors such as Nikola Tesla and Royal Rife – concepts she found both intriguing and effective. 

“If we can combat [an ailment] with something so simple as some music, some strategic vibration and some microcurrent that’s programmed electrical stimulation, sign me up,” she said. “My perspective is this offers real healing – not masking/covering symptoms.” 

As her social media algorithms picked up on her newfound interest, Bredl-Hryndej said she discovered – Theralieve – a company that was producing machines based on therapeutic principles linked to Tesla and Rife.

After reaching out to Theralieve, she said she worked out a financing agreement with the “multi-million-dollar company.”

“I pay the company monthly loan payments – I didn’t have to go to a bank to get a loan,” she said. “This program is incredible. These guys… helped me make my dream come true.” 

Bredl-Hryndej said she chose the name Be Well Studio, opting for “studio” instead of “center” because it felt more welcoming.

“I don’t want to be clinical,” she said. “I want to give you clinical experiences and clinical benefit, but we’re not medical practitioners. We’re providing wellness. We’re providing a comfortable, calming, peaceful, spa-like atmosphere – and $200,000 in tech.” 

Bredl-Hryndej said she stays at the forefront of all of Theralieve’s newest equipment – “I’m kind of the ‘go-big-or-go-home’ girl” – and was even the recipient of the company’s first available pelvic floor chair.  

Though Be Well is “one of the few centers in the United States that has just about all of their tech,” she said there is one Theralieve device she’s decided her practice doesn’t need. 

“I passed on their cold plunge [equipment],” she said. “We live in Central Wisconsin, we do not need a cold plunge.” 

Well into the future 

Just nine months into operation, Bredl-Hryndej said Be Well is frequented by a range of guests, – including families seeking immune support; high school athletes focused on recovery; unique date night experiences; and older visitors looking for relief from soreness and arthritis. 

“Everyone who experiences it loves it,” she said. 

Most customers, Bredl-Hryndej said, sign up for Be Well’s membership packages, which allot a certain number of credits each month and encourage regular usage. 

“That’s what we like, because we want you to have the access prolonged, because you don’t get better from one treatment/visit…,” she said, comparing this to taking high blood pressure medicine only once. “One treatment, one modality – there might be benefit in a one-off situation, but it doesn’t mean it’s getting us to a point of actual health or wellness.” 

Bredl-Hryndej said wellness should encompass the physical body as well as mental and spiritual health – “the whole being.”

Speaking as a professional masseuse as well as a busy mother of four, she said it’s “incredible” how well and how quickly the high-end technology at Be Well helps people reach their goals. 

From long-time massage clients who have given the equipment a try, to curious passers-by, Bredl-Hryndej said she loves witnessing the reactions of those who experience the tech for the first time. 

“That’s all it takes, honestly, with this equipment to fall in love and to understand the benefit,” she said. 

For those interested, she said Be Well Studio is hosting an open house from noon to 6 p.m. May 30.
