Feeling Better
Massage Works
WELCOME!
Whether it's that nagging neck and shoulder pain, the constant sore back every morning or a more dynamic physical challenge that requires a more comprehensive approach, massage therapy can give you relief.
I continue to witness and experience the many healing benefits of what professional therapeutic massage provides and believe that it is an essential component in maintaining physical, emotional and mental well-being.
In my 17 years of practicing, I have employed Neuromuscular Therapy to help alleviate literally hundreds of "bad backs", countless "tweaked necks" and too many "grinding headaches" to count. NMT is a highly effective technique for breaking the pain-spasm-pain cycle and unwinding stress related tension in the body.
Receiving massage therapy on a regular basis will support you in maintaining a balanced state, resulting in less pain, a calmer mind, and more restful sleep; overall, a better quality of life.
ABOUT KRISTEN
I began my journey as a licensed massage therapist in 2003, after comprehensive studies in Neuromuscular Therapy. My gift and expertise has developed over the last 20 years through thousands of hours of practical experience, as well as hundreds of clinical continuing education hours of study on an ongoing yearly basis. Along the way, I have also been fortunate to study with and under the supervision of some of the best massage therapy teachers and mentors in the field. My purpose and passion in life is helping people to alleviate their pain and discomfort
and I truly love what I do. I have worked with a spectrum of people, conditions and ailments in all age groups and easily adapt to the needs of each individual. My focus is traditional neuromuscular therapy but I also incorporate a number of massage modalities, including Swedish, deep tissue, myofascial release, reiki, and craniosacral therapy to complement each session; creating a deeply restorative and relaxing massage. I have been a resident of Norfolk, Virginia for the past 9 years and consider it home. I find joy in learning, being a mother, exploring nature, surfing, the arts, and traveling.
TESTIMONIALS
"EXCELLENT" practitioner of soft tissue recovery- from very deep muscle and fascia to more superficial, recent injury/misuse. Kristen is intuitive, knowledgeable, and able to identify and address the root of problems. All done making you feel completely cared for."
-Elizabeth
"Kristen is a compassionate, intuitive massage therapist who is very sensitive to the changes within my body. She creates a soothing and relaxing environment which allows a quick transition from the busyness of the day to deep rest. The experience is extremely therapeutic."
-Laurine
"I had a complicated recovery from nerve damage in my leg, as well as a constant pain in my lower back from a herniated disk years ago. Kristen was able to plot a course of therapy that, over time, eliminated the limited range of motion in my foot and leg and made my back feel better than it has in years."
-Jason
"Kristen's healing and restorative therapy has helped me on the physical, mental, emotional, and energetic levels. I have been seeing Kristen regularly for about 7 years and consider her an essential element in my overall health and wellness. She has helped me manage my chronic pain, anxiety, depression, and stress. As, a former U.S open swimmer, she has also helped me heal and recover from years of over training. Kristen's work will speak for itself. I refer everyone I can to her.
-Lee
"I have been a client of Kristen's for almost 6 years. I started getting massages to alleviate painful back spasms and have continued to visit monthly. I'm convinced of the mental and physical benefits of regular massage. Kristen always ask me what I need during a session and she is an expert at working out my back, shoulder, and neck tension. I always leave feeling fabulous!
-Julie
"I've been going to Kristen for over a year and can honestly feel a difference in my body! She really listens to what I'm going through and tailors each massage to fit my body"s needs. I look forward to our monthly sessions; she's become a routine addition to my physical and mental regiment."
-Rachael
"I have been getting massages from Kristen for over two years. My chronic headaches stopped after only a few massages. I still have back pain at times, but getting a massage always helps. She is very professional but friendly too. I plan to continue to see her as long as I can."
