Prenatal/Postpartum Massage-
Christina is certified for all trimesters by Claire Marie Miller's Nurturing the Mother training. Prenatal Massage can help with many issues that arise during pregnancy including relieving nausea, increasing circulation, and decreasing joint and muscular discomfort. It also helps offer relaxation at a time when sleep may not be coming so easily. At the end of pregnancy, with the therapist using proper technique, massage can potentially induce labor. Postpartum recovery discomforts can also be eased with bodywork.

Fertility Massage-
Another course Christina took with Claire Marie Miller, Fertility Massage is more than just that; It is specifically designed to help the recipient to maintain optimal reproductive health throughout their life. This bodywork modality isn't exclusive to female clients, and bodywork is encouraged for both partners on their fertility journey. This protocol can also help girls & women have a more comfortable menstrual cycle, and natural hormone balancing practices will be suggested. Massage for digestive support and dietary habits will also be discussed because both the digestive & reproductive systems work synergistically. No matter where you are on your fertility journey, Fertility Massage is considered appropriate.

Craniosacral [Fascial] Therapy-
Craniosacral Fascial Therapy (CFT), also known as the Gillespie Approach, is essentially a combination of Craniosacral Therapy (CST) & Myofascial Release (MFR). It is a gentle, yet profound form of bodywork, which makes it friendly for all ages & stages. This is an intuitive & intentional bodywork modality- It works with the basis of craniosacral holds & allows the recipient's body to naturally unwind, supported by the practitioner, toward a way of healing. A systemic release & relief is often experienced, even when only one part of the body is worked on.

Classic Swedish Massage-
Swedish Massage uses gentle, gliding strokes to soften tense and sore muscles. This massage produces numerous physical benefits and induces deep relaxation. It is the basis for most massage therapy sessions.

Deep Tissue Therapy-
Deep Tissue is a broad category, including techniques like Neuromuscular and Trigger Point Therapy, among many others. This protocol is customized for each individual person and session.
