My vision for Move Free Massage Therapy & Wellness is to offer a unique massage THERAPY experience. I strive to customize every session for where your body is today and what it needs to support healing. 

After years of exploring natural living and holistic wellness, I discovered my calling in massage and bodywork. I earned my Professional Certification in Massage Therapy, as well as a Certificate in Advanced Clinical Therapies from Cuyahoga Community College in 2018, and am Licensed through the Ohio State Medical Board. 

In 2023, I became Board Certified in Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork through NCBTMB, holding myself to the highest standards in the bodywork profession.

I specialize in Therapeutic Massage, blending traditional Swedish massage with Sports Massage and Advanced Clinical Therapeutic techniques; integrating Trigger Point Release, Myofascial Release, muscle energy technique, and assisted stretching, among others. 

My massage therapy philosophy is centered on finding the primary source to remove restrictions and release tight muscles in the body - not just spot treatment - allowing you to live pain free and move freely.

I've always enjoyed and thrived on leading an active lifestyle - as a runner, yoga practitioner, mom of two active boys, hiking, biking, kayaking, etc. Now in my 40s, I truly believe I'm able to keep my body moving and doing all of these things pain-free through a combination of massage, self-care, and yoga. -- I'd like to help you do the same.

Before my LMT training, I earned a Bachelor's of Science in Journalism from Ohio University and a Master of Arts in Communication from the University of Central Florida. - Go Bobcats!

The most perfect pressure! Thank you, Christina, for being a magical massage healer.
by Amy on Jun 12
Throughout training for my half marathons and training at the gym Christina is such an asset in my recovery. Her knowledge and expertise has helped me immensely!

Christina is great! She is very professional, and she's very good at what she does. I always feel so much better after my massage. Christina is also very knowledgeable and has really helped me with recovering from my ankle surgery. I highly recommend her.

Christina is friendly and easy to be around and focuses on whatever area I describe as the problem and gives good advice as to what I can do between visits to help my pain.

Christina is an awesome practitioner! She is deeply attuned to the healing touch she offers, and is inquisitive/thoughtful in her approach with each individual. She offers massage as healing medicine, not simply relaxation, though it is that, too. Christina is now helping me in my recovery from treatment for breast cancer, and she has been supportive, kind, sensitive, professional, and caring as I navigate this new space of physical, mental, and emotional changes in myself. My nervous system knew I needed this support and care as part of my healing. I highly recommend booking with Christina, whether it’s part of your “health maintenance” or to help yourself heal from anything you’re carrying-physically, mentally, emotionally.

Christina sought to understand the root cause of my issues, my general daily functions and activities, and goals. From there, Christina was able to explain thoroughly what the plan was and why, and ultimately getting me to where I needed to be. Grateful.

Christina is great at working through multiple issues within a session. She is great at working through sudden acute pain as well as chronic pain. I really appreciate her straightforward approach without being too intense.
