Cass Arruda
(They/Them/Theirs)
LMT
Cass found a calling in bodywork after, like many others, experienced injury and needed calm. As a cyclist, recovery is paramount to continued growth and performance; but, outside of sports, our bodies and minds need attention to feel and do their best. Cass finds massage to be a meditative experience, and hopes to instill the same feeling in their clients. Currently a student at The Massage School in Boston, Cass is excited to continue learning just how much can be accomplished through touch, and believes there’s no alternative to human hands. They are particularly interested in sports, deep tissue and mobility work.
In their spare time, Cass is a visual artist, glued to a book, or getting ready for the next gravel event or cyclocross season.

Dr. Emma Bruno
(She/Her/Hers)
DC
As an athlete, trainer, women’s health advocate & movement specialist, Dr. Bruno approaches each patient relationship with a vast background in bodywork and the desire to help patients further their wellness & athletic goals.
Prior to chiropractic school, Emma obtained a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and worked as a NASM certified personal trainer & pilates instructor for many years- she felt connected to her clients and their stories but always knew there was another level of care she wanted to provide; after thru-hiking the Appalachian Trail in 2016 and battling many injuries as a result of the training and the hike itself, she relied heavily on bodywork and realized that hands-on care was the missing link in her career.
During her clinical training, Emma treated pre and post operative patients at an outpatient neurosurgery clinic, provided care for underserved communities at a teaching hospital in the greater Buffalo area, and is currently in the process of receiving additional levels of certification as a Mat pilates instructor from the Australian Physiotherapy and Pilates Institute. Since completing chiropractic school, she has been trained in Active Release Technique (ART), Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Manipulation (IASTM), Dry Needling for Orthopedic Rehab & Sport Performance, as well as Webster Technique for pre & postnatal patients.
Driven by a love of hiking, running & the gift of being healthy and active, Emma cares deeply about the right to thorough, compassionate healthcare that allows patients to live and move in a way that brings them joy. When not treating patients at WIMB, Emma can be found reading, running or checking off more summits as she pursues the completion of hiking all 48 of New Hampshire’s high peaks.

Dr. Carlucci’s mission is to empower the patient and get them back moving as soon as possible.

Dr. Alissa Kuizinas
(She/Her/Hers)
I am a board certified podiatrist from who’s passionate about foot health. I absolutely love seeing my patients transform their feet without surgery or invasive procedures!
I started Doctor Ark as a place for you to learn about your feet, find the tools you need to restore your feet, and the support to get you where you want to be! Whether you want to eliminate pain, get stronger, more flexible, or simply feel better in shoes, I am happy to help you achieve those goals!
Podiatry has traditionally relied heavily on treatments such as orthotics, injections, and surgery. While these can all be helpful in certain cases, the vast majority of foot pain is caused by foot dysfunction. After several years in private practice, I realized there was a serious need for education and programs to help people reverse foot dysfunction. We simply are not doing enough during a 10-15 minute office visit to help people truly get better.

Dr. Meghan Meade L.Ac
Having suffered from anxiety, digestive issues, hormonal imbalances, and exercise-induced repetitive stress injuries throughout her adolescence and twenties, Meghan first sought out acupuncture as a last ditch effort to salvage some semblance of health and sanity during a particularly stressful period in her life. It worked. Remarkably well. So palpable was the influence of acupuncture on her well being that she was compelled to leave a career in advertising to study Chinese medicine so that she could help others benefit from its effects.
Meghan earned her doctoral degree in Traditional Chinese Medicine from Five Branches University, a masters degree in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine from the New England School of Acupuncture at Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences (MCPHS) and a masters degree in Pain Research, Education, and Policy from Tufts University Medical School. She is licensed by the Massachusetts Board of Medicine and is a Diplomate of Oriental Medicine, certified by the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM).
In her clinical practice Meghan integrates both Eastern and Western perspectives to provide treatments unique to each patient’s needs, and endeavors to empower patients to move forward on their paths to not just feeling good, but feeling like their true selves.

Dr. Ian Nurse DC
**Please Note: At this time, Dr. Ian Nurse is not accepting New Patients as he transitions his schedule to treating just three days a week. He makes this difficult decision with full confidence in the Team of chiropractors at WIMB who he has helped train and mentor.
Dr. Ian Nurse founded Wellness in Motion Boston with a strong background in the conservative care of soft tissue (muscle, tendon, ligament, fascia and nerve) injuries. He has successfully treated a range of patients – Olympic level runners; professional and recreational athletes; A-list movie stars; musicians; individuals dealing with work-related injuries; grandparents seeking more active/pain-free lives with their families.
As a marathon runner for the past twenty plus years, Dr. Nurse has endured many overuse injuries of his own. Unwilling to accept the typical response: “If it hurts when you run, you should stop;” that he received when seeking relief from his various injuries, Dr. Nurse turned to chiropractic and Active Release Techniques (A.R.T.). Not only did his training and racing improve, but he also found his calling. Dr. Nurse thrives to help those whose lives and hobbies are limited by pain and discomfort.
Focusing on the critical relationship between human locomotion and the soft tissues that drive movement, Dr. Nurse addresses an injury by finding the root of the problem and not just treating the symptoms. As every injury has its own chronology and pattern, Dr. Nurse utilizes a patient’s history, as well as a thorough biomechanical and soft tissue assessment to formulate an appropriate treatment plan. While each injury’s treatment requires its own strategy, overall outcome goals are similar:
· Restore proper biomechanics and soft tissue function;
· Improve general range of motion of the involved joint;
· Increase power and strength of the involved tissues;
· Decrease frequency, duration and intensity of symptoms;
· Reduce the chance of re-occurrence.
Dr. Nurse is a fully certified Active Release Techniques provider with experience focused on the spine, lower extremity and upper extremity. He is also a certified provider of Graston Technique. Like A.R.T., Graston Technique safely and conservatively treats scar tissue and fascial adhesions through detection and effective break down of scar tissue fibrosis and chronic inflammation.
An avid athlete, Dr. Nurse has run in hundreds of road races all over the world. He continues to train competitively in hopes of improving on his personal best marathon time of 2:25 (Boston ‘13 and ‘14). This commitment to training has given him a unique understanding of the mental and physical demands of endurance training. Aside from running, he enjoys photography (actually most of the photos on this web site are his), reading, cycling, hiking, soccer, lacrosse and experiencing the outdoors.
Dr. Nurse is currently the team chiropractor for the New Balance Boston professional running team. He graduated Cum Laude at both Western States Chiropractic College of Portland, Oregon and Colby College of Waterville, Maine.

Gerard Samson LMT
Gerald Samson: I am a dedicated part-time yoga teacher and experienced massage therapist. I taught full time for five years at Coolidge Yoga before deciding to put my full effort into massage therapy and treating sports injuries. I developed my massage practice at coolidge and out of my home in Boston. I graduated from Hobart and William Smith Colleges in 2011 with a B.A in both in Psychology and Philosophy, and rowed as a student athlete.
I found the practice of yoga after graduating college and it happened to be beneficial for reducing my work stress and the tightness my body had developed from rowing. Wanting to share yoga’s benefits I enrolled in a 200-hour teacher-training program with Ame Wren and the Boston Yoga School in 2014. Through yoga I began to see the body as a puzzle to unravel, which led to a strong interest in bodywork. This led to my enrolled at The Massage School in Boston in 2015.
With the influence of yoga in my bodywork, I work deep into the structure of the body, both to adjust structure and treat injuries that restrict mobility. In school I became skilled in a number of techniques like deep tissue massage, trigger point therapy, myofascial release and some elements of eastern bodywork (Shiatsu, Thai massage) and blend all of them into my work. I graduated from The Massage School in February of 2017 with over 200 hours of clinical practice, and have been working as a LMT since graduation.
