Take your life back from chronic pain.
The body is a single unit. What happens to one part affects the whole. I have come to believe that, while the medical community has its place, natural approaches do, as well. Personally, if there is an effective natural treatment available to me, I would prefer that to loading up on pills and their attending side effects!
I specialize in Neuro-Muscular Therapy massage, individually designed to address each client's specific situation. I have experience with TMJ Dysfunction, SI Joint dysfunction, shoulder pain, Plantar Fasciitis, headache relief, Fibromyalgia, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, and much more!
I am also trained in Massage for Fibromyalgia and Lev...

Christina knows how to find and work the tension out of the trouble spots in my neck and back. All while listening to her awesome playlists. Such a relaxing hour of intensive therapy!

Having a massage by Christina is always a wonderful experience. She gently messages the muscles/fascia which sends relaxation throughout my core and extremities. The best part is that the effects are long lasting. It is obvious that Christina has had thorough education, training, and experience. It is also obvious to me that she has a gift. Thank you, Christina for your hard work in perfecting your skill. I look forward to your continuing care. So, please, take care of you!

Christina provides excellent massage therapy. I feel so much better after every session. She answers any questions I have and tailors each session based on feedback I give her. It's always a great experience.

Christina is an expert therapeutic massage therapist! Where she can do the typical “relaxation” massage, her therapeutic massage addresses special issues like pain! What would I do without her expert touch?

Because of my set up, I wasn't as comfortable as I could have been. In hindsight, I should have gone to Mrs Pankey's office. Her technique and skill were excellent.

Christina takes the time to learn your trouble areas and works on area that needs attention. She is thorough and explains how the muscle might become inflamed. Would definitely recommend!

Christina always makes me feel very comfortable - she’s welcoming and very professional. Her massages are therapeutic, as well as relaxing. She really knows her stuff and listens to what you need (and speaking of listening - she has an awesome choice of playlists for you to choose from for your massage therapy session!) I highly recommend Athelas Massage Therapy.

Calming, relaxing, and healing. As a matter of fact, the thing I MOST appreciate is how the effects continue to heal me for weeks afterward. I have never experienced this before and have had many massages over the years.
Christina, thank you for helping me in my journey for health.

I started relaxing as soon as I laid on the table. I almost fell asleep several times. Christina worked extensively on all my problem areas, causing releaf.

I was put at ease & kept there for the hour. This was not surprising. The heated table & soft music were nice extras. The questionnaire before the massage & the interview at the session highlight Christina's seriousness, her professionalism. She seemed totally focused on the origins of my problems & my current state.

I've had issues with my back and hips for years. I've done massage off-and-on but always found it only a temporary relief. But my time with Christina has been different. It's not about relaxation, it's about function and healing. She actually found the root of my problem (not my back as I and every masseuse I'd been to before assumed, but my abs and pecs). After just a few sessions my pain was greatly reduced and my flexibility and stamina were greatly increased. I literally feel ten years younger.
So especially to the men out there: This is not the pampering BS you might think of when you hear the word massage. Christina actually keeps you healthy and strong and keeps you WORKING. Give her a shot.

More work was accomplished in the areas that were effected by my injury, and while there were times where the sensation of muscles and nerves relaxing/reconnecting was present at no time was it painful and Christina took care to make sure that it wasn't. Increased mobility and lowered tension/reduced constant ache as a result. While therepuetic it's also fascinating to feel just how interconnected everything it. Thank you!

Christina knows how to work the muscles with a gentle touch. I never felt like I was being “ dig into”, but she definitely made a difference. I enjoyed the whole experience of in- home massage, and would recommend Christina in a heartbeat.

Great professional, yet personal approach, with precise exactitude in targeting the areas that need attention to drive and promote healing. I could have spent half the day being treated, it was just so nice.

Christina is very knowledgeable and capable. I felt completely at ease and confident with her. If I had questions, she was helpful and clear in her explanations of what could be causing my pain issues and what she was doing to resolve the pain, stiffness. My range of motion in my neck was much improved after one visit. I can't wait for my next appointment!

Most of the massages I've gotten in my life have been somebody kneading me like a ball of dough, hoping to hit something important with their scattershot approach. Christina asked questions and knew just what to do. She responded to my feedback and adjusted her approach for my comfort. Clearly she understands how the body works and how to target the problem areas based on your particular problem. Will call again.
