About This Studio

MSI Wellness Center is a meditation and healing studio in Evanston, Illinois, founded 28+ years ago by Billie Topa Tate (Mescalero Apache). The studio does not appear to offer physical recovery modalities (cryotherapy, saunas, compression therapy) despite initial database tags; instead, it specializes in energy-based healing services, meditation instruction, and spiritual training. Services require appointments and include Reiki, Native energy sessions, and cranial sacral therapy.
