My name is Christina Gerhards and I am a Licensed Massage Therapist at
Massage & Bodyworks, Annville, PA.

I wanted to introduce myself to you and give you some information about my experience. You can also feel free to "Like" my business page "Massage & Bodyworks" on Facebook.  Also request to "Join" my group "Massage & Bodyworks Health - Wellness" .  It is an easy way for me to share healthful information with all of those interested in connecting with me and also healthful tips.

I received my training at The Alternative Conjunction Clinic & School of Massage in Lemoyne, PA. I have been in practice since May 2000 as well as a Certified Level Practitioner of Associated Bodywork Massage Professionals. I have a license to practice in the state of PA and TN for the following modalities, Swedish, Esalen deep relaxation, chair massage, helio/hydrotherapy, Neuromuscular deep tissue, Sports, spa therapies like Aromatherapy and Hot stone massage. I have done additional continuing education on advanced anatomy & applied Neuromuscular deep tissue massage therapy of the neck as well as Advanced Structural Relief Therapy of the neck. I am also studying Structural Relief Therapy for the whole body, Myofascial release and Therapeutic Grade essential oils.  I am CPR/First Aid Certified.  I do advocate for Therapeutic Massage, Chiropractic or Osteopathic medicine as well as Functional medicine.

In my practice, whether you are a first time client or someone that I have known for years, I want to talk to you about who you are and what challenges your life presents to you. My goal is to design a therapeutic massage session around your needs and goals. The priority in my practice is Quality of care and Balance. I will only schedule 4-5 people a day because I wish to have the same amount of energy to give to my last session as I do for my first session. I also receive routine Therapeutic Massage as well as Chiropractic care.

On a personal note...I have been happily married to my best friend (Mike) for the past 19 years and we have 2 beautiful children. Michael and Abigail.   After 21 years of military service, my husband retired from the Pa Army National Guard. He is still a Federal employee for the Department of Defense. In 2007, our son was diagnosed with Autism and on our journey to help Mikey to be as strong as possible, I have learned a lot about Functional medicine.  We are also encouraging Mikey to practice Taekwon do.  Mikey also has a wonderful gift in drawing and building lego's.  We have been blessed with another child as well.  Her name is Abigail.  She loves soccer and is a social butterfly.  Under God, Mikey & Abby are the light of our lives.

It is such a blessing to have the opportunity of helping others to find a moment of PEACE and to see the healing process as you receive routine therapeutic care. Whether your goal is for stress relief, chronic issue or new injury, I can help you. I am thankful for every second of every day that I may be able to help someone else feel even a little bit better!
