Helping others live their best life through Massage & Yoga!

Hello, I am Christina.  I became a massage therapist after suffering from chronic pain due to my Scoliosis with spinal fusion.  I have been practicing yoga most of my life, but didn’t become a teacher until experiencing extreme Postpartum depression.  Yoga became my safe place during a really challenging time, that experience gave me the confidence to share yoga with others.  My continued education is focused on Scoliosis care and Prenatal/Perinatal care to better help my clients.

Amazing work, very skillful, relaxing experience, would recommend to anyone who deals with back and hip pain due to scoliosis. Will be a regular customer!

Christina is the BEST! She listens to your needs and focuses on the areas you need the most attention. I swear her fingers are magic and she's able to pinpoint the spots in your body that are the most sore and need the most relief. She is the real deal and the best massage therapist I have ever had!

Christina is so knowledgeable and experienced in understanding the body. I love getting my neck and shoulders worked on by her - she is hands down the best at doing what she does. She is also a wonderful human - so kind, funny, and down to earth. Highly recommend!!!

I am happy to highly recommend Christina for massage. She always listens to my concerns, answers my questions, and does an amazing job getting my tight shoulders to relax. Also, her office and massage room are both very calming, and very clean.
