When we take the time to nurture ourselves, our load will feel lighter and our lives will be more balanced and abundant ; my name is Christin Nelson and I have over 20+ years experience in massage. Wow, time really does fly when you’re having fun :) I enjoy the work that I do so much, and here’s why; I get to know so many people on such a deep and fulfilling level. Observing their journey to a pain-free and active lifestyle. It moves me to watch a patient go from the point of not believing that they will ever be out of pain, and have their old life back, to believing it is possible, to celebrating the reality that they now have so many more good days, than bad. I also enjoy working with folks who have never had Massage Therapy before, but are curious about how it might improve their quality of life. I'll tell you right now, if this is you, you won't be disappointed. Massage does wonders to our overall sense of well-being, and on so many different levels too. You may have heard that the body, mind and spirit are connected but never really experienced what this really means. In my 28 years of experience I have seen over and over how feelings that we hold inside, take root in our muscles and over time this heaviness turns into a heaviness on our spirit, or our “essence”. It’s like you just don't feel vibrant anymore, and are not sure how to get that back. Receiving massage therapy on a regular basis helps to both release the muscles as well as those “stuck” emotions that drag us down so that you can get on with loving life! I also have had the amazing opportunity to gain extensive experience in working with infants, young children and teens. For years I taught infant massage classes around Bellingham and also was contracted by the Department of Developmental Disabilities to go the t home of you children who has special needs. I got to not only give the kiddos massages, but I also taught their parents and caregivers how to massage them to. Spreading peace and happiness one massage at a time. Also, a significant portion of my clientele are teens. Helping teens to ease their stress both emotional and physical, boosting their body image and setting good healthy habits for the future is so inspiring. Often, whole families will come to me. Massage is for everyone!
