Kristi has been an unbelievable support in my healing and I cannot recommend their services enough! I feel so well taken care of after our sessions and wish I could have an appointment every day. I tell every person I know who is needing a massage therapist to go to Kristi- they work really hard to cater to your needs on the day of the appointment and are so talented in a variety of therapeutic modalities. Book an appointment- you won’t regret it!

Kristi has been a dream to work with and is an amazing massage therapist. She is kind and professional, and listens to your concerns to tailor each session to whatever your mind and body are needing in that moment. I got pregnant for the first time last fall and she’s provided safe and relaxing prenatal massage as well. I highly recommend working with her - she’s the best!

Kristi is by far the best massage therapist I’ve ever worked with. She has a comprehensive assessment process after which she develops a treatment plan specific to your needs (medical or otherwise). She incorporates various types of massage, is so caring and knowledgeable, and adjusts the plan as needed. I have worked with her due to arthritis/ autoimmune issues in my neck and she has been so helpful! She even consults with other providers to ensure that she is providing the best care for your specific concern. The space is lovely and welcoming and she takes insurance which is amazing!! Couldn’t be happier!

Kristi is a skilled provider with calming presence who genuinely cares about her clients. She also accepts health insurance - a rare find that helps a lot with affordability. Not only is Kristi adept in a variety of massage techniques, but she also offers holistic suggestions for promoting health day-to-day. Over the last 7 months, Kristi has helped me manage chronic neck and back pain. I've recommended her to several friends who are now repeat clients.

After being in a car accident nearly a year ago, I’ve been seeing Kristi to help manage my pain - and I cannot recommend her enough. She is incredibly skilled and attentive, and the space she’s created is beautifully calm and relaxing. I love the music she selects and the guided meditations she incorporates into her sessions. I feel so fortunate to have found her.

Kristi is phenomenal at massage. The benefits have been so much greater than I imagined. The body work has been not just relaxing or restorative, but truly healing. She is a great listener and incorporates feedback well, using a variety of modalities to address my concerns and to support me in feeling my best physically!

As a Chiropractor, I am very particular about my bodyworkers. Kristi is absolutely outstanding. She knows the body, not just anatomically but the rhythms of it to ensure her massage is the perfect depth and application to the individuals needs. She is an avid learner and constantly educating herself on new techniques and approaches. I have been on her table several times and have referred her many patients who all love her work. You will be sure to have an amazing massage with her!

I’ve been to Kristi a few times now and each experience has been perfect. I have traumatic areas of preexisting injuries and a lot of tightness and she helps me feel like a new person whenever leaving. She’s a Master at her craft
