"diversity is the spice of life"

I love people. I enjoy my work almost as much as my clients do. This world would be a better place if everyone could have the enjoyment of weekly massages. Sometimes I like to donate my hands to charity and help humanity destress without expecting anything in return. 

I specialize in Shiatsu, Reiki, myofascial release, Trigger Point therapy, MET (muscle energy technique), assessment and response to biofeedback during the massage. If you are living with chronic pain, tightness, or loss of range...

I specialize in Shiatsu, Reiki, myofascial release, Trigger Point therapy, MET (muscle energy technique), assessment and response to biofeedback during the massage. If you are living with chronic pain, tightness, or loss of range of motion, please don't hesitate to book a session. You will be glad you did!
 

My family is my muse and inspiration in life. 

Continued education is a passion of mine, even when the State didn't require continued education to retain my license I still continued taking courses to better my self in my profession so I can give more and improve my ability to help clients.

Ideal Bodyworks Massage is a dream of mine that I have been nurturing and watch grow over the years. There is now a home base in Holland. Before I was completely mobile, I service corporate out calls and events. Currently Ideal Bodyworks is a proud member of LOCAL FIRST.

REVIEWS for my Bodywork services

by Leslie on Apr 16
Christina explained everything beforehand and ask me to let her know my preference for deep tissue pressure at any time during the massage.

above and beyond what I need.

Listened and followed what we discussed! I was able to relax and leave feeling great!! As a Veteran she made the experience one I’ll def come back for!
by Brandi on Mar 18
This was my first time seeing Christina and she was fantastic. Not only is she a wealth of information but you can tell she uses her intuition as she's working on you to tailor the experience to what your body needs. I will definitely be back.

Christina was very good with shoulder tension release.
by Anonymous on Feb 27
Christina always asks for what she can work. Some massage therapists I have been to in the past just miss this all together, but you know you have a good one when they ask the question.

She was amazing, professional, very skilled, she found knots that I didn’t know I had. She worked them out and I felt better when she was done.
by Tim on Feb 16
What makes this experience with Christina so worthwhile is her ability to perceive the muscle tension and respond accordingly, knowing anatomy, and understanding how daily life and work impacts us.
by Nancy on Feb 13
Christina is very professional and knowledgeable.
