Working with Kristi has changed my life! She’s not only incredibly knowledgable and skilled but also cares deeply about the work she does and the clients she works with. I have recommended 2 family members go see her and they have both raved about their experience as well. She not only helped me clear up structural issues that were causing discomfort, she completely changed how I relate to my body and gave me the tools to continue our work together on my own. Could not recommend more highly.

Kristi is a wonderful massage therapist and her office in Solana Beach is very clean and peaceful. She's knowledgeable about massage techniques and takes the time to understand what you are seeking. Her massage was very therapeutic and healing, and loosened up my tight and constricted neck and shoulders dramatically. She gives a strong massage reaching deep tissues without inflicting pain. I'm looking forward to going back!

I am a varsity xc runner with quad/hip/groin pain. This was the first time I had someone work on me and Kristi made me feel comfortable with the soothing ambiance of her office space and friendly personality. She is very knowledgeable in what she does and is excellent in communicating how she would address my injury and gave me tips on how I could help my recovery. I plan on seeing her again as the XC season progresses. -Renee S.

I've been to a LOT of massage therapists and as an athlete needing lots of attention I appreciate someone with the skill to feel where my problem spots are, know where it's coming from, and be able to apply the appropriate amount of pressure based on how my body responds in her hands. I'd recommend Kristi to anyone in a heartbeat.
