Kristi listened to my concerns and recommended a solution to an issue I had accepted as a permanent problem. After one session, she was able to start a healing process for my hip area that has bothered me for years. She listens, shows genuine concern, and has passion for her work. Highly recommend.

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.

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.
