Massage
Christine's touch is deep yet nurturing. She has the natural ability to tune into the energy of her client while doing hands-on bodywork. She currently offers the following modalities:
Swedish Massage:
Fluid strokes and moderate pressure invite you to totally relax and rejuvenate
your mind & body.
Deep Tissue: A
deep pressure massage, especially in targeted areas (back, neck, shoulders)
designed to release tension and leave you feeling deeply tended to.
Energy Work &
Massage Combo: Conscious touch, including both nourishing massage and
healing moments of stillness, invite you to come into balance and wellbeing on
all levels of your being.
Somatic Healing &
Massage Combo: This session incorporates visualization and guided imagery,
in addition to massage and conscious breathing, to address physical tension and
blockages, creating the possibility for release and deep personal shifts. 80 minute sessions only.
One of her clients wrote the following after receiving a massage:
I lay a body broken and crooked
A patchwork of knots and aching bones
A mind racing in high gear
And a breath lost in a maze of stone
But I am welcomed
How warm the melting of your gentle strength
I am anointed at the altar of your care
I breathe in a rising tide of peace
Softened and nurtured by the presence in your hands.
I am held. I can let go.
You patiently tend to my subsiding pain
Unfolding my wrinkled shroud of need
Watchfully appeasing my innermost landscape
I can be whole again, pacified and freed.
I am at rest now.
And long afterward, my being keeps drinking
At the well of your healing touch.
