I am Christine Vander Bloomen, owner and massage therapist at Manitowoc Massage. I have been practicing massage for over 18 years. I can make a custom session just for you. Sessions can include hot stones, hot towels, aromatherapy, your choice of music, and your desired amount of pressure. I do not believe in 'no pain, no gain' massage.  I work with clients to teach them how their bodies, nervous system, and joints work and what they can do at home to make them feel more better. I help clients with hip and low back pain, shoulder and neck pain, headaches, foot pain, and general body aches. I also can deliver a blissful relaxation massage including hot stones and hot towels.  In my free time I enjoy camping with my family, hiking, bike riding, cooking, gardening, and spending time with my friends and family. Home renovation has also come to the forefront in my life as I work on the apartment upstairs from my home.
