| Massage has something for everybody Unwind and leave the stress of the outside world behind... Immerse your body, mind and spirit into deep relaxation... Rejuvenate, stimulate, and increase your physical and mental energy... Massage is one of the oldest healing arts. Chinese records dating back 3,000 years document its use; the ancient Hindus, Persians and Egyptians applied forms of massage for many ailments; and Hippocrates wrote papers recommending the use of rubbing and friction for joint and circulatory problems. Today, the benefits of massage are varied and far-reaching. As an accepted part of many physical rehabilitation programs, massage therapy has also proven beneficial for many chronic conditions, including low back pain, arthritis, bursitis, fatigue, high blood pressure, diabetes, immunity suppression, infertility, smoking cessation, depression, and more. And, as many millions will attest, massage also helps relieve the stress and tension of everyday living that can lead to disease. For additional information, click here |

| My name is Kristina and I was born in Texas and grew up in Austin during the 70's. I have spent the past 14 years working in a corporate environment. I have always had a holistic, spiritual side but I debated for a number of years about attending massage school. I have been active in Kundalini yoga and have had a desire to become instrumental in assisting others to become more relaxed, healthier, and tranquil on a personal level. My shamanistic nature has lead me to want to become a healer, just not in the traditional medical sense. One day I found myself in a sudden life-changing situation and decided, it was time to follow my heart, so I enrolled at Texas Healing Arts School of Massage. I graduated in November 2003. This training was the most enlightening experience in my life so far. It was the best decision I could make and it has changed my life. I have now found my way into the world of holistic healing. I have been trained in Swedish, Deep Tissue, Trigger Point, Pregnancy and Sports Massage. I continue to enhance my skills and education to encompass several modalities. I am also a certified teacher of the Radiant Child Yoga Program. I look forward to treating your body and spirit. |

| Treating the Spirit Massage also provides another therapeutic component largely absent in today's world: tactile stimulation or, more simply, touch. In 1986, the Touch Research Institute at the University of Miami published ground breaking research on the effects of massage on premature babies. The preterm babies who received massage therapy showed 47% greater weight gain and six-day shorter hospital stays that the infants who were not receiving massage. But is this study evidence of what loving touch can do spiritually, or rather what massage can do on a physiological level? Regardless, babies are not the only benefactors. Many adults have reported cathartic experiences on the massage table. As a therapist carefully unwinds a client's stressed and tired muscles, the therapist may very well be unwinding the taut, pent-up emotions that one doesn't always have time to process in the middle of the day. And the feeling of being touched in a safe, caring, compassionate manner can be a very powerful experience, reminding the client that she or he is not alone in the world. As studies continue to reveal the link between kinesiology and physical and emotional health, the effects of massage will be further documented. However, one need only experience a good massage to know it's beneficial to body and soul. For more information, visit their website at |
