Therapeutic Body Work

In 2011, I made the decision to go back to school. I wanted to help others with their health and muscles. I had always had a soft spot for massaging friends shoulders and scalp. I thought, why not become trained to do something I enjoy. During school, I became aware within the 2nd week of the talent I didn't realize I had. Teachers raved, that its not often for students to develop a sense of emotional safety net with clients. It was a rarity I was proud to continue to develop. After graduatin...

In 2011, I made the decision to go back to school. I wanted to help others with their health and muscles. I had always had a soft spot for massaging friends shoulders and scalp. I thought, why not become trained to do something I enjoy. During school, I became aware within the 2nd week of the talent I didn't realize I had. Teachers raved, that its not often for students to develop a sense of emotional safety net with clients. It was a rarity I was proud to continue to develop. After graduating at the top of my class in November of 2011, I went on to become certified thru the state of California. I am a Certified Massage Therapist, certified by the California Massage Therapy Council (CAMTC).  I am also a member of the American Massage Therapy Association (AMTA). I have grown committed to supporting people of all walks of life, to eliminate Acute and Chronic pain using medical massage techniques. Clients range from adults, geriatric, and children, so long as they have a parent/guardian present. I encourage clients to use Massage as part of their self-care routines. Just as we put miles on our vehicles, which require oil changes and other mechanical services, as needed every few thousand miles. We too, put miles on our bodies, both physically and mentally, thru our daily routines. Massage to me, is no longer a pampering treat. But an essential part of our health and wellness. You can expect me to always be on my toes, as I manipulate your muscles, to find imbalances. To decrease tightness and pain, increase circulation. Which in turn increases your range of motion, improves sleep, and many other amazing benefits. Along my journey, I have and always will continue to expand my knowledge and techniques. As it is of great value to me, to see it bring pain relief to each of my clients. I look forward to providing my clients with the best medical massage therapy I can provide.

Christina is professional, always ready at appointment time, excellent at her craft and always accommodating to any special needs. I’ve been through literally dozens of therapist over the years that have fallen short. As long as Christina is doing this I will be a loyal client and have referred her many times. She is amazing!

Christina is AMAZING! I've been to 2 Lymphatic Drainage Massage sessions and I absolutely LOVE everything about them. From beginning to end, Christina is thorough about giving her clients high quality service. As soon as you book an appointment, you'll get a questionnaire from her. This is so important because it means she wants to know about you and your needs. Which I truly appreciate. Once you arrive, she will greet you and take you to her massage room. The room is beautiful and graced with a peaceful ambiance. However, the best part is the massage and the days after it. The massage itself is amazing and I have fallen asleep just because she puts you in full relaxation mode. It feels SO good! Even days after the massage, I feel refreshed and energetic. I sleep better (which is huge for me). It relieves my swelling so much and not to mention its assistance with removing waste. It's worth every cent. I travel over 45 minutes to see Christina. She is worth it!
