Christine specializes in

• Swedish Relaxation Massage with an Esalen influence
• Sports Massage—working with athletes within their training program, speeding their recovery from intense workouts, injury rehabilitation and at sporting events.
• Clinical Deep Tissue

Her clients, in partnership with Christine's trained and intuitive touch, communicate the depth of pressure they prefer in their massage session, from light to deep work. Christine has experienced the healing work of massage for herself and receives great satisfaction in helping her clients relax and heal.

She completed her massage training locally, at the well-regarded Body Therapy Center in Palo Alto.

Christine is also a certified yoga instructor. She received her training at the Avalon Yoga Studio in Palo Alto and was in their first graduating class. Last year she completed an intensive ten-day training with Erich Schiffman at the Santa Barbara Yoga Center. She believes that the practice of yoga is an excellent way to warm up the body to receive massage.

Christine lives in Palo Alto with her family. She has a Bachelor's degree from UC Berkeley.
