Christine began her Registered Massage Therapy (RMT) education at Makami College and finished at the Alberta College of Massage Therapy in July, 2021. Christine is trained in prenatal massage, lymphatic drainage, deep tissue, myofascial release, dynamic cupping, sport massage and spa techniques; and treating conditions such as postural dysfunctions, neck and back pain, headaches, stress and anxiet
y, whiplash/Motor Vehicle Injuries, pregnancy, TMJ dysfunction and more. She is a member of the National Health Practitioners of Canada. Her personal experiences growing up with family member requiring acute health care treatment, and her own personal health challenges began her interest in anatomy, physiology and the way the human body works. Having dealt with chronic pain herself, she has come to understand the benefits that massage therapy can have on both your physical and mental health. Christine’s style of treatment consists of assessing each client and building a treatment plan that fits their individual needs. She uses a variety of massage techniques to assist with alleviating physical conditions, pain and restoring balance to the body. Each treatment concludes with an “At Home Care Plan” that will aid in achieving the client’s treatment goals. One of Christine’s specialties is relieving fascia (connective tissue) adhesions and restrictions. Following fascia lines helps her gain an understanding of where the pain is coming from and correcting those issues with time. A few of Christine’s hobbies include playing soccer and making speciality cupcakes and cakes. Additionally, Christine likes to read case studies and textbooks to gain a better understanding of the human body, pathologies, conditions and potential treatments. Christine plans to pursue training in kinetic and orthopedic techniques, oncology massage, and reflexology in the future. She also plans to certify in massage therapy for pets, and certify in Animal Assisted Wellness which would involve the use of therapy dog to help her clients who are dealing with mental health, and trauma to assist in improving the lives and wellness of her clients.
