When I first met Chrystina, she was donating her time for the Cancer Cure. I was a little hesitant because I had never had a massage before. But, since my back was bothering me and my left leg caused me great pain, I thought I’d give it a try. Although she was only able to give me 15 minutes of her time, as it was a timed benefit, the pain in my lower back was lessened considerably. So after that experience I decided to give her an hour try just to see if my mobility and flexibility would improve. Thankfully, I made the right decision. Since February 2009, I’ve been visiting Chrystina regularly and am now able to function daily without pain, do my gardening and even much to her dismay, repaved my driveway.
When Chrystina left her regular practice to have a beautiful baby, I tried other therapists. It only took me two tries to realize that I’d be better off waiting for Chrystina to return. Now that she has her own Massage Therapy Clinic I visit Chrystina approximately every 3 – 4 weeks.
However, this past winter, I put my right shoulder out shoveling snow. Not only was I not able to lift even a glass of water, but I couldn’t turn my head to the right without great pain. Chrystina worked on my shoulder and neck slowly and patiently, giving me stretching exercises to do at home as well as giving me therapeutic bath salts. I can’t begin to tell you the joy I felt when I turned my head and voila- it didn’t hurt, and my shoulder is ready for the summer gardening I enjoy doing. I will continue to go to Chrystina even if there are no more aches and pains. Oh, by the way, did I mention that I’m 71 years old but treat my body like I was 20 again? Everyone should have a Chrystina in their lives.

I wanted to thank you for helping me through my body’s rough times.
I have been suffering from plantar faciitis for about 2 years and it got to the point where walking was very difficult. I went to the doctor and they gave me drugs that made me sick. I tried a foot specialist and he didn’t take the pain away, only my money. I tried a few different massage therapists and they only made my wallet skinny too. Then one day my wife endured your treatment and was extremely happy with the relief of pain you had given her. I then immediately booked an appointment with you. My first treatment was fantastic. I could walk again with much less pain. Over the next few visits you had lessened my pain to the point where most of the time the pain was absent. You then had taken a leave of absence to have your 5th beautiful baby! In the mean time, I had to try other therapists to maintain and finish healing, but to no avail could I find a therapist that had the knowledge, understanding, and who knew how to heal the problem. I was frustrated because my plantar faciitis slowly came back. When it was time for you to return to work, you had called me and I immediately booked with you again. With only a couple treatments, you have lessened the pain to most of the time I don’t feel pain at all.
I have also had neck issues and you seem to be the only one that can make my neck better. My wife has her own issues as well and every day we are thankful that Chrystina has come into our lives to help us. Everyday we speak about how she has given us a miracle of being able to defend us from our body’s pains and struggles. Not only is Chrystina a wonderful massage therapist, she is also a caring person and is considered a friend to us, probably to everyone! Thanks again Chrystina!
