Carrie Kooyenga PTA, LMT

Carrie Kooyenga is the founder of Arukah Wellness, where clinical knowledge and holistic presence come together through a signature approach called Arukah Therapeutic Bodywork.

​

Carrie is a Licensed Physical Therapist Assistant (Blackhawk Technical College, 2008) and Licensed Massage Therapist (Wisconsin School of Massage Therapy, 2015). She brings over a decade of clinical experience into trauma-informed, restorative bodywork designed to support pain relief, recovery, nervous system regulation, and long-term wellness.

Arukah Therapeutic Bodywork is a personalized, integrative style that draws from physical therapy principles, therapeutic and medical massage, injury prevention, and trauma-informed care. Rather than separating modalities, each session is responsive to the body’s needs in the moment—allowing care to deepen, integrate, and build over time.

​

Physical Therapy remains an important part of Arukah Care. When Physical Therapy services are provided, a licensed Physical Therapist completes the required evaluation and establishes the plan of care. Carrie then works under that plan as a Physical Therapist Assistant, carrying out treatment in collaboration with the evaluating PT. She maintains a network of trusted Physical Therapists and is open to coordinating with other providers as appropriate.

​

Carrie values a collaborative approach to health and works alongside Physical Therapists, medical providers, and wellness practitioners to support well-rounded, individualized care. In addition to her hands-on work, she creates natural wellness products and continues her studies in herbalism to support integration beyond the treatment room.

 

Carrie currently provides care at two locations:

• Sweet Zen & Coffee in Delavan, WI

• The Doctor’s Office in Darien, WI

 

Whether you are seeking Physical Therapy support, therapeutic bodywork, or a restorative reset, Carrie is dedicated to offering intentional, presence-based care that supports healing in the body and nervous system.
