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 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!

I have been coming to Christina for over a year for monthly Lymphatic Drainage massages and I can honestly say, she is amazing in all aspects of her treatments. When you arrive, youĺl be welcomed by her with a smile and good energy. Sheś always ready to to help you feel better, so sheĺl ask you if thereś any specific area you need for her to focus on. In doing this, she has been able to help me ease tension and pain when I was under the weather, help reduce tension headaches and other aches and pains I feel or have been feeling leading up to my appointment. I have had the hot stones massage, which I highly recommend! Itś healing aspects go far beyond the time youŕe in the room. She adds aromatherapy which is soothing to my soul. Christina is extremely professional and her skills are top notch. She has seen and heard me release pain and through my tears, she allowed me to just be. She showed compassion and understanding and Iḿ so grateful! Sometimes the pain we carry is in our heart and soul and what Iḿ learning is that massaging/ tapping areas of the body help release it. She just does an amazing job and I cannot get enough! Sheś definitely worth the 40-45 minut

I have had two lymphatic massages with Christina. Immediately after the massage I can feel a difference. My body doesn’t feel as heavy, or tight. After the massages my body is allowed to completely rest during sleep. You can definitely feel and see the difference after the massage. Christina is friendly, really knows what she is doing, very professional and shows the love she has for her trade. I will for sure be booking again.

Christina has great energy and knows what she is doing. I have been trying to find a good CMT for awhile since my original CMT retired. I am so thankful to have found Christina.
