"diversity is the spice of life"

I love people. I enjoy my work almost as much as my clients do. This world would be a better place if everyone could have the enjoyment of weekly massages. Sometimes I like to donate my hands to charity and help humanity destress without expecting anything in return. 

I specialize in Shiatsu, Reiki, myofascial release, Trigger Point therapy, MET (muscle energy technique), assessment and response to biofeedback during the massage. If you are living with chronic pain, tightness, or loss of range...

If you are living with chronic pain, tightness, or loss of range of motion, please don't hesitate to book a session. You will be glad you did!
 

My family is my muse and inspiration in life. 

Continued education is a passion of mine, even when the State didn't require continued education to retain my license I still continued taking courses to better my self in my profession so I can give more and improve my ability to help clients.

Ideal Bodyworks Massage is a dream of mine that I have been nurturing and watch grow over the years. There is now a home base in Holland. Before I was completely mobile, I service corporate out calls and events. Currently Ideal Bodyworks is a proud member of LOCAL FIRST.

REVIEWS for my Bodywork services

by Kellie on Jul 07
She is calm, kind, knowledgeable. She did some cool movements on me that enabled me to stretch my body longer than before 😊
by debbie on Jun 26
The massage overall was great and much appreciated. However, I had specifically requested more focus on my shoulders—especially the right one—and I didn’t feel that area was adequately addressed.

Christina was very attentive and made sure I was having the best experience possible.

Pretty methodical. Music was very poor, just noise. Left oil on me - should have used a hot towel to remove it from my back and other areas.

Great
by Katie on Jun 06
Christina is so great! We had a quick discussion about what kind of treatment I was looking for and specifics about what kind of touch and pressure I preferred. We spent almost the whole time chatting like old friends, even though we'd just met.
