"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 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.

She addressed the issues I was having with joints and I left feeling relaxed. I will return.

That Christina knows the body and muscles very well!! She loosened parts of me I didn’t realized were tight. Explain things about my body and muscles, etc. It was a delightful appointment and massage!

Didn’t try to carry on a conversation. Let me just be quiet and soak up the experience.

Literally one of the best massages I've ever had. Christina is professional, courteous, and took time to understand my goals for the massage. She then executed a perfect massage that left me feeling relaxed, rejuvenated, and pain free. I can't wait to see her again!

Very professional and applied perfect technique to pressure points.

Amazing. One of the best massages ever. She left space open for questions and when I asked something, she gave simple, but really powerful responses to help me better understand my body. 10/10. Highly recommend.

She is calm, kind, knowledgeable. She did some cool movements on me that enabled me to stretch my body longer than before 😊

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.
