About Christa
Many years ago, I took an amateur massage course and knew that one day it would become my career. A massage session was for me a magic combination of elements that I cherish. There is the intimacy of a one-to-one connection; the natural joy of expressing loving care through touch; a reflection of my deep interest in healthy living and the body; and a quiet, focused time to go deep. I have been in practice since 1992. I’ve worked with thousands of people. I love working with the whole person, whether the focus is on the physical, the mental/emotional and/or the spiritual. I am still as excited to learn and evolve in what I can offer you, as I was when I started out. I call my work “Intentional Massage.” It reflects a spiritual intention to be fully present, hold space for you and honor your session as sacred. I invite you to let go to your deeper self. My strong intention is to support and empower you in your quest for health and wellness of body, mind and spirit.
Trainings
- 700-hour highly acclaimed state licensure course at Brian Utting School of Massage in Seattle, 1992.
- 250-hour Orthopedic Massage Certification. A large component of this training was in Myofascial Release which I specialize in and a wide range of clinical applications, 2009.
- 275-hour Cranio-Sacral Certification, 2000.
My work is also influenced by several workshop trainings in Myofascial Release/Structual Integration and trainings in Trager work, Reiki, Lomi-Lomi and many other modalities. I am currently intensively involved since 2011 in life-changing spiritual work, with Jeff Carreira and others. It continually influences and challenges me to evolve and deepen this bodywork practice.
