About Us
For nearly twenty years I have been discovering and experimenting with the human form. We are creatures of habit and sometimes those habits create a world of pain. Examining your posture and your muscle movements, I create a plan for you to get better. We can adapt into new habits that make us stronger, more flexible, more powerful than ever before.

Working with Chris makes such a difference in my health. I have RA and find that bodywork is important. Reflexology not only feels great, but helps with all my body's systems.

Today's session was exactly what I know I can expect, but not easy to describe. It was holistic therapy, educational, flexible,, challenging, and emotionally rewarding. Chris responds to my unique and changing needs by carefully listening and adapting to today's physical condition. I suspect he enjoys creating personalized message as much as I value his healing touch. As a former researcher I rarely rate anything 5 star but 4 didn't match my experience.

I liked the way you are an excellent thinker and listener. I could tell he was thinking of how he was going to proceed with me. In our very first visit my foot that has hurt for a long time quit hurting and my knee and shoulder have been given hope and a plan to relieve this pain. I also walked out with ways other therapists have never tried with me before. It's al about being safe and trusting in the person working with you !!!!
