Therapeutic Body Work

In 2011, I decided I wanted to venture out into a new career. I wanted to help others with their health in some way. With the guidance of God, I landed on massage, back when the Yellow Pages were still in use.  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.

In 2011, I decided I wanted to venture out into a new career. I wanted to help others with their health in some way. With the guidance of God, I landed on massage, back when the Yellow Pages were still in use.  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.org).  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. Massage to me, is no longer a pampering treat. But an essential part of our health and wellness. I truly enjoy feeling strands of muscles, and feeling the release of connective tissue that has been stiff and creating pain issues for me clients. It is such a joy to see and hear the relief clients feel during treatment, and after. I look forward to providing my clients with the best medical massage therapy I can provide.

Christina’s knowledge of more than just relaxation massage is vast. The fascial release was a game changer for my sports related tension in my muscles. I recommend anyone dealing with pain to try the fascial release massage.

This was my first time getting a lymphatic drainage massage. With vary short notice Christina was able to schedule me in, and this massage was very much needed. I loved how comfortable and relaxing she made me feel. I am looking forward to booking her for more of her services in the near future. She was a 10/10.

The massage was so relaxing & the next day I experienced so much healing in areas I wasn't expecting. I've gotten massages before many times & have never have experienced the healing I did after getting a massage from christina . I HIGHLY recommend her services.

Christina was great. It was my first experience with lymphatic massage and she also got a kink out of my neck that was giving me pain down to my elbow. Definitely a great experience. Thanks again!

Christina really seemed to customize the massage to my needs and what my body was telling her. I felt great afterwards, and she followed up by sending me a stretching video she suggested. Highly recommend!

Christine 's services are excellent. Since attending the Medical Massage, my left knee and leg is flexible enabling my mobility. I highly recommend Christine Alvarez, MT.

Christina is amazing at figuring out what your body needs. She is strong!!! If you want deep tissue, that is EXACTLY what you will get. I booked again immediately after my first treatment.

Christina is absolutely amazing! Never really knew what to expect from a professional massage until visiting her. Now the bar is set too high, I can't go anywhere else. She'll identify and fix your problems without you even having to tell her!

The best massage I've ever gotten! Was having some neck issues and Christina made my neck feel so much better after just one session!
