"Great class! Instructor's knowledge and enthusiasm were fantastic. The whole class chilled as we practiced the techniques."
As an athlete, mother and survivor of a head injury, Kirsten can offer a unique perspective in how massage therapy can be useful.
Kirsten discovered chair massage in the workplace in 1985, finding not only relief from intense headaches but also a boost and energy and morale. After recovering from a serious accident 1997, Kirsten found massage to be very helpful in the process of rehabilitation."The deep relaxation, and acute muscle tension relief found in Massage therapy reduced anxiety, physical, pain, insomnia and depression, allowing me to rebalance my life. I was able to exercise, which boosted my confidence, and helped me to participate in work and family life in a more meaningful way. It is now my mission to offer this help to others. My practice is in support of relaxation and movement. When these aspects of life are in balance your possibilities are limitless."
