Kristy Carlson is a licensed Massage Therapist with a Bachelor's degree in Nutrition and a Master's degree in Exercise Physiology and Nutrition.  She is passionate about health and wellness and loves to help others feel their best!  Kristy specializes in a detailed technique that assesses posture and gait and incorporates massage with stretching and vibration to reduce and eliminate trigger points to restore mobility in joints and reduce pain.  This technique focuses on one specific area of the body that is causing pain.  Pain can be greatly reduced and even eliminated in just one session.  Follow up sessions may be needed but individualized at home stretches and exercises are provided to help prevent the recurrence of pain.  With this bodywork, Kristy has had much success in relieving many aches and pains.  She is also skilled in other modalities such as Swedish, myofascial release, cupping, and deep tissue.

Great massage and very calming

Went in for a prenatal massage and it was amazing! I was able to sleep so well after feeling better.

Kristine was very good at listening to my concerns and pinpointing my problem areas . I did a 90 min session and it was well worth it. She was able to loosen up my muscles and give me better range of motion. I still have a long way to go only 1st session but left there feeling lighter. I would highly recommend to any one who might need a more therapeutic form of massage.
