"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...

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 of motion, please don't hesitate to book a session. You will be glad you did!

My son 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 Maggie on Oct 21
She listened to my current concerns, which were quite different than in the past, and adjusted the bodywork accordingly. That speaks to both her skill and her professionalism.

She really knew where the trigger points were and was able to resolve my trouble spots.

Magic hands!

Christina did an excellent job of explaining the lymphatic massage and gave lots of tips to help keep that drainage going. She was a God-send!

Christina knew more what I needed than I did! Excellent massage
by Ron on Sep 21
It was awesome, she worked some muscle knots out of my shoulders and now I can turn my head to the left again. She then worked my lower back and I didn't even know it needed it, but I could tell it did. I'm sure it's all tied together with the tightness of my shoulders, I'll be going back.

I enjoyed it. It was very relaxing.
by Carlee on Aug 29
She was very professional and so skilled! This was only my second massage and after my first one being not so great somewhere else, I had low expectations. Christina was amazing and totally changed me view on how helpful and healing a massage can be. I can’t wait to book another with her.
