Hi,  my name is Erika Cripe.    I studied kinesiology and minored in nutrition at LSU.   I've been an exercise instructor for many years teaching Pilates, Yoga, Water aerobics, spinning, HIT style classes and many others.  We moved to Grand Junction in 2013 and I've been teaching classes and personal training at the Fruita Rec Center ever since.  I love physical activity and helping people to regain and maintain function and abudant health.  I've studied and worked with herbs, plant medicine and essential oils for most of my life.  I ran a 16 acre hobby farm in Oklahoma, where I learned  to milk goats and make cheese and many other wonderful products. I grew a huge garden and ran a small CSA ( community supported agriculture) there.  I love seeing modern allopathic medicine meet natural health care practices and embracing the wisdom of the ages. I've found joy in bodywork and helping clients maintain abundant health.  I'm also a mother of 4 amazing children and happily married for 20 years and counting.

She focused on my issues and found the areas that needed work. I had more range of motion when I was done. I felt so good after my massage!

Erika is amazing! She’s very knowledgeable about what she does and was attentive to what my body needs and how it was responding to the massage. I already booked my next appointment. Thank you!

First massage in a really long time and it was so worth it! Erika helped me better understand where my body was holding tension and pain and with her trying different approaches released a lot of that in the first visit. I look forward to seeing her again!
