Quote from me: To me, Massage Therapy is an art form. When I'm giving a session, I'm listening with my hands. My own relief from chronic neck and shoulder pain was a direct result of weekly Massage Therapy. I am still amazed at the transformation that occurs during a treatment. To relieve pain, reduce stress, give someone an hour of peace, and see a wonderful smile and sense of relief in a client's face is why I'm still so passionate about what I do.

Client Testimonials:  

I have been receiving massages from Christine for the past 5 years and consider it an important part of my self-care. Every time I lie on the massage table I am transported to a place of deep relaxation and leave her office feeling restored. Christine possesses the ability to ease the tensions carried in my body from the day to day stressors of life in New York City and she lulls my body into a restful state. Her respect for the human body, knowledge of anatomy and physiology, warmth, and professionalism all combine to make her a terrific massage therapist. -E.D. 2015

I met Christine in 2007 and had the best massage I'd ever had. Christine was able to pinpoint my sciatica and worked on the knot in my lower back, without me even mentioning it. Afterwards, the pain I was experiencing was gone. We lost touch for a few years and I continued to have massages but none matched the ones I had with Christine. After years of  poor massages and massage therapists (and longing after each for Christine's healing hands) we reconnected and I was thrilled. I've been seeing Christine regularly for over a year. She is capable, caring, uses the right amount of pressure and focuses on my issues. Thanks to Christine, I'm relaxed and stress free!! -M.F. 2015
