Her focus is in identifying and treating the source of soft tissue imbalance as opposed to just treating the symptoms. Her passion for working with and understanding fascia (connective tissue) has led her to complete advanced studies of the Anatomy Trains Myofascial Meridians which were discovered by Tom Myers LMT, a widely respected pioneer in the field of professional massage. This training has expanded her approach to include assessment and treatment of fascial patterns. This powerful work is known as Fascia Release for Structural Balance (FRSB).

Kristy is the proud mom of four children and she enjoys gardening, meditation, pilates, yoga, hiking, swimming, music festivals and farmers markets.

" Calming the nervous system is essential in creating a healing massage therapy experience. In such an environment, the body's innate systems are free to create balance by releasing tension/restriction/negativity. You add focused/mindful/purposeful tissue manipulation to the mix and significant results are achieved! "
