A trusted friend gave me Christine’s information when I moved to the area. Given I’d never sought out a massage therapist in my 61 years of life, I thanked her and filed it away. Then, while out-of-state giving care to my mother, I suffered an acute strain. In a bit of a panic and only half-way through my trip, I called Christine. A skilled listener, she guided me (as much as possible over the phone) how to carry on while protecting myself from further injury. I met Christine one of my first days back. New to body work in general and massage therapy in particular, I was impressed by her professionalism, sensitivity, and knowledge of the body and its nervous system. After a few sessions the pain had subsided, but I continued seeing Christine to keep my body strong and properly aligned for my next care-giving trip, which I managed with no problems. I have integrated massage therapy into my life, as it makes me feel generally so much better. Christine’s ability to listen to and read the most nuanced changes in the body is a wonder. In another time and place I’m convinced she would have been called “a healer.” (Terry C. 7/1/2021)
