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.

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!

Erika listens to you and understands the body and how it works. She is quick to assess your problems/needs and I always feel amazing when I walk out. She is kind, professional and the Best in her field. I would recommend her highly to anyone looking for the Best massage therapist on the Western Slope. You will not regret your choice!
