Muse uniquely addresses mental, physical, and social well-being through offering a social gathering space with dance classes and socials, arts driven and health-based community workshops, mental health counseling, and massage therapy. It will truly be an environment for people to be inspired. With a focus on fun as well as wholistic health, we will provide services to engage with the body, enrich the mind, inspire the soul, and facilitate personal healing and growth to help a person feel and function as a more cohesive whole as well as build important social connections and strengthen the sense of community.
With a myriad of services housed together, there is increased sense of privacy as others would not know if a client is visiting Muse for a massage, art class, mental health counseling, or even sitting in the inviting space to do work (and in the future enjoy coffee or tea).
By incorporating the arts, massage, group and individual sessions, and social events, there is a diverse approach one’s health concerns, and with this, an increased chance of building a relationship to facilitate meaningful change within an individual while also creating many opportunities for meaningful social connections to form (an element which is often lacking in other establishments, despite it being a crucial element of well-being).
Founder and primary therapist: Jenny Eish, LPCC, R-DMT, Somatic therapist, internationally recognized dance artist, Dance Masters of America certified dance instructor
With founding member, Jenny Eish being a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC), registered dance/movement therapist (R-DMT), and somatic therapist, insurance can be accepted for individual as well as group therapy sessions and workshops, which helps connect to a broad client base. She has experience with a wide age range as well as diagnoses and is also a member of multiple dance communities in the greater Cleveland area as well as having international connections to bring in guest therapists and instructors. She will lead a team of other licensed professionals from fellow mental health counselors as well as licensed massage therapists, somatic movement therapists, and professional dance instructors and qualified local artists.
Gokhan Baltaolgu: massage therapist perusing training in advanced therapeutic massage techniques. Passionately driven to support clients in understanding how their body connects to overall improved health, and addressing a variety of conditions through the healing power of massage, Gokhan’s warm hands and big heart help him connect to clients and create a safe, enjoyable environment to unwind.
Crystal Merkly: personal assistant to Jenny Eish and the primary organizer of community events and workshops. With experience as a residential and commercial relator, Crystal is a master of networking, researching, and pulling together many elements while efficiently maintaining concise documentation.
Once a location is secured other members of the team will be added. There is interest from a somatic movement professional who would like to relocate to the Cleveland area from Texas to join this team. Another dance/movement therapist is currently in the process to become fully licensed and wishes to join the team along with a local, established art therapist. There are currently two licensed dance/movement therapists in the Cleveland area, and soon to be three, but Jenny Eish is the only one with full dual licensure to accept insurance, and the remaining two are interested in joining the Muse team, which would make Muse the home of all licensed dance/movement therapists in the Cleveland area.
