Let the beauty we love be what we do - Rumi

 I was raised in the shadow of the Sangre de Cristo mountains in northern New Mexico. After exploring the world for several years, I began studying Ayurvedic Herbal and Chinese Herbal Medicine with the East West School of Planetary Herbology in Santa Cruz, CA in 2010. Since then, my heart has planted it's roots in Maryland: I started a family, and my dream of becoming a person of service through massage, bodywork, and yoga has come to fruition.

 I was raised in the shadow of the Sangre de Cristo mountains in northern New Mexico. After exploring the world for several years, I began studying Ayurvedic Herbal and Chinese Herbal Medicine with the East West School of Planetary Herbology in Santa Cruz, CA in 2010. Since then, my heart has planted it's roots in Maryland: I started a family, and my dream of becoming a person of service through massage, bodywork, and yoga has come to fruition.

  I am a Nationally Certified Maryland State Registered Massage Practitioner and a member of the Associated Massage and Bodywork Professionals. I graduated from Central Maryland School of Massage in 2014 with over 750 hours of education and hands-on practice. While studying at CMSM, I received in-depth training in many styles including Swedish, deep tissue, hot stone, prenatal, sports, and palliative massage. Since graduating, I have continued my education by receiving two separate certifications in the dynamic practice of Thai Yoga Massage, trained for hospice work with JSSA, and am certified in CPR and basic life support. 

 I have an intuitive touch and combine different massage modalities and techniques into every session in order to make it the perfect restorative massage for each client. I regularly draw from Thai Yoga Massage during sessions to incorporate stretching, deep breathing, and meditation. I may also add a hot stone or aromatherapy oil in the mix to help alleviate sore or aching muscles. I work with people that vary in age and ability, every one unique. What works for some, may not work for others, and even that can change day to day. Part of my commitment to client-centered care is inviting YOU to be an integral part of your own wellness program. 

  I am a member of Yoga Alliance and studied yoga with Daniel Hickman, graduating from the Multidisciplinary Yoga Teacher Training in 2017. I received over 300 hours of training in asana (movement), meditation, pranayama (breath control), and did extensive study in the Yoga Sutras, Tao Te Ching, and Dhammapada.
  
When I'm not practicing massage or downward dog, I can be found stargazing with my daughter and husband, cooking, and manipulating fire with my fire dance troupe Pyrophoric.

REVIEWS for my Bodywork services

Christa over the last year has made my back and leg issues become a small issue. She digs in on the specific parts she uncovers and works out the kinks.

Christa communicated with me prior to my appointment regarding her wearing a mask. She explained why and gave me the option of rescheduling, which I did not. My session with her was very peaceful and restorative.

Christa was amazing. I'm a massive massage snob as I've had one great masseuse in the past that ruined me for others that I saw for over 10 years. Christa was even better. My body felt so good after, I felt 20 years younger. If I had the money to support massages all the time, I'd see her weekly to fix all the knots and stress I hold in my body. She is truly a gem.

Over the last 25 years, I have had massages all over the world and the deep tissue massage I had with Krista ranks in the top three. She absolutely listened to my needs, the pressure was perfect and it was the first time in a long time that I didn’t feel like I needed another massage after I got my massage. I can’t wait to go back
