All Season Wellness Day Spa
The Grand Spa
Life Essentials Day Spa
Steamboat Independent Spa
Trappeur's Crossing Resort Spa
None of these establishments list the names of the practitioners, although web addresses are listed and some information can be found there. However, consumers can ensure they are getting services from licensed practitioners by accessing the Colorado Department of Regulatory Agencies website.

From there, a profession can be chosen, and then a search box that even allows a search using a last name only reveals whether an individual is licensed and clicking on a details button reveals any disciplinary issues.
This search is free, easy, and helpful for consumers who want to be sure the services they are paying for are provided by licensed professionals.

Consumer Guide to Steamboat Bodyworks-Reflexology
Alternative Bodywork by Colleen
The State of Colorado Department of Regulatory Agencies does not require licensing for the practice of reflexology.
Reflexology is based on the notion, which has not been proven and actually doesn't make sense, that certain points on the hands and feet correspond to and can somehow manipulate internal organs.
Reflexology can feel good, much like a massage, for which this individual is licensed, MT.0002119, however, there are no benefits beyond massage and any claims regarding internal organs and such are not only unsubstantiated, but disingenuous to clients.

Consumer Guide to Steamboat Bodyworks-Psychic Medium
Feeding the Body Feeding the Soul, LLC
Nancy Cohen
Psychic mediums pretend to provide "readings", usually to connect clients with loved ones, which is what is offered in this listing along with "messages of love from Spirit". What psychic mediums really do is take advantage of people.
This individual also has two other listings in Steamboat Bodyworks, Energy Work and Nutrition and Diet, with RDN, Registered Dietitian Nutritionist as a credential. The knowledge and skills of registered dietitians comes from years of education based on scientific principles. Energy work and psychic medium don't.
A psychic medium energy worker dietitian is just not a good combination for consumers.

Cold reading is a series of techniques used by mentalists, psychics, fortune-tellers, mediums and illusionists to determine or express details about another person, often in order to convince them that the reader knows much more about a subject than they actually do.[1] Without prior knowledge of a person, a practiced cold reader can still quickly obtain a great deal of information about the subject by analyzing the person's body language, age, clothing or fashion, hairstyle, gender, sexual orientation, religion, race or ethnicity, level of education, manner of speech, place of origin, etc. Cold readers commonly employ high probability guesses about the subject, quickly picking up on signals from their subjects as to whether their guesses are in the right direction or not, and then emphasizing and reinforcing any chance connections the subjects acknowledge while quickly moving on from missed guesses.
