Meet Your Experienced and Passionate Hosts

Delphine Deflandre

Certified Health, Wellness and Life Coach


Born and raised in France. She left at 28 to live in the UAE for a few years, and moved to the USA in 2013.


After 15 years in the Fortune 500 corporate world, and a profound "wake up call" (her conference is available here), she found her true passion: guiding people on their journey towards their "true Self".


She was professionally trained and certified in Applied Neurosciences Coaching, Eden Energy Medicine, Energy Psychology, Access BarsĀ®, Health and Wellness Coaching, and Energy, Sound & Spiritual Healing.


Throughout this training and own self-discovery path (she definitely walked her talk !), she collected and developed atypical & powerful tools to not only help her clients, but also herself.


This stress management workshop series allows Delphine to share her passion for teaching "outside of the box" & efficient toolkits.

Allen Musch, LMT

Licensed Massage Therapist


Owner of Inner Element since 2007

Graduated Blue Sky School of Professional Massage in 2005

Graduated UW-Stevens Point in 2012 with a BS in Dietetics


A combined 8 years of formal training across massage, ayurveda, and dietetics (nutrition) were the foundation on which Allen explored and experimented with a wide range of tools.


Using himself, and willing clients as guinea pigs, a number of tools stood out as particularly useful in helping with common issues found in all aspects of life: physical, mental, emotional and spiritual.


Many of these tools will be shared throughout this stress management workshop series.


Allen's hope is to share something in each class that rings true for each person. To be able to take something home that can make a big impact in your life, as it did in his and his clients' lives.

What truly sets this series apart from what we see everywhere?

Allen and Delphine combine unique tools they learnt from our diverse educational backgrounds (see "Meet your host" section above) and apply in their daily lives.

As a result, all the tools shared have been experienced, tweaked and mastered!

They are excited to share these stress management hacks with you!

There will be one hour lunch break between the morning session and the afternoon session, we suggest you bring your lunch.

There is a kitchenette with a microwave, as well as a fridge.

The Passion and Journey of Your Hosts

From the first massage Allen ever received, he knew the powerful positive impact of massage. So deeply moved by this experience, he pursued a career in it.

At its heart, giving people this same experience is the purpose for his now 19 years as a licensed massage therapist


Another passion of Allen's, ironically, is teaching.


A self-described introvert, who practices minimalism in verbal communication, discovered his love for teaching 20+ years ago while working at a food processing plant.

As the Regulatory Coordinator, ensuring that the plant followed all the OSHA and EPA regulations, part of his job was to create and provide all the training required for the 150+ employees. What started as the part of the job Allen didn't think he could do became the part of the job he loved the most.


Allen also taught 3 terms at a small private college in their massage program.

Teaching a variety of courses, including: Deep Tissue, Sports Massage, Craniosacral, Lymphatic Massage, Massage Business and Ethics, but his favorite to teach was Swedish Massage.

This is the first hands-on training massage students generally receive, and is a special time for the students and the teacher.


Additionally, Allen has taught many workshops on various topics on essential oils.

He first introduced the use of essential oils beyond 'therapeutic' grade to his clients 10+ years ago, and immediately began seeing amazing results that were difficult to believe.

As a result of much deep-dive research and many case studies on himself, clients, friends and family, he became a passionate advocate.

Allen started teaching essential oil workshops, from basic 101 topics to more advanced workshops.

The most popular, and most requested, was his Pain Management with Essential Oils workshop.

Based on his research and practical experience, this 90 min to 2 hr-class taught people exactly the approach he developed over time.


Allen's hope is to share something in each class that rings true for each person. To be able to take something home that can make a big impact in your life, as it did in his and his clients' lives.
