Owner - ANVIL Bodyworks LLC
LMT, MPS, ISSA Elite Trainer & Transformation Coach

Welcome to ANVIL Bodyworks, where we share in your transformative journey to health and wellness. From a passion cultivated since childhood, Chris has evolved into a Licensed Massage Therapist/Bodyworker, specializing in breath and bodywork for both physical and mental well-being. Chris understands the toll that stress can take on the body and mind. His personal journey, from embracing a misguided approach to self-care to a life-changing realization in 2017, forms the foundation of his mission and sparked a commitment to share the power of self-care with others. With a background in martial arts, including 20+ years as a defensive tactics instructor, Chris draws parallels between the precision of a samurai sword and the need for individuals to be sharp and strong. As a Massage Therapist/Bodyworker, Chris employs therapeutic, spa, athletic, and deep tissue modalities, along with acupressure techniques, to eliminate waste, reduce stress, and enhance flexibility. At ANVIL Bodyworks, Chris's philosophy centers on each client being a 'precision instrument' requiring professional 'tuning.' A commitment to providing productive sessions with included tools, such as aromatherapeutic essential oils, hot packs, hot stones, cupping, and the Dolphin MPS, defines the ANVIL experience. Chris encourages clients to adopt a ‘healthy self-interest’ and to expect ‘more’ from their massage, emphasizing that recuperation and rejuvenation are necessities, not luxuries. Chris is dedicated to helping individuals minimize unseen stress, take time to breathe, and stay sharp. At ANVIL Bodyworks, the mission is clear—apply exacting pressure through bodywork to remove impurities and help clients get back to 'doing what they do,' taking care of those who depend on them. Self-care is not just a concept; it's a commitment to equipping individuals to take care of themselves so they can better care for others. Expect more, experience more, and embark on a journey of wellness with Chris at ANVIL Bodyworks. Additionally, Chris is a certified ISSA Elite Trainer and has been active in the health and wellness space for over 25 years. An Army Veteran, former Supervisor with the Colorado Department of Corrections, and DoD contractor; Chris continually strives to strike harmony between the week and the weekend enjoying motorcycling, hiking, fishing, reading, and photography.

You Deserve to Feel Good Again

Read this slowly:
You deserve to feel good again.

Not just for the holidays.
Not just when things calm down.
Not just once a year…

But daily.
Deeply.
Consistently.

ANVIL exists to help you reclaim that ease —
through skilled touch, intuitive listening, and nervous-system-centered care.

This season, permit yourself to receive.

Start 2026 with a session that restores your capacity.

Rest as Medicine

During the holiday rush, rest can feel “unproductive.”
But here’s the truth:

Rest is how your body repairs.
Rest is how your nervous system stabilizes.
Rest is how you stay present with the people you love.

At ANVIL, we treat rest like medicine—
administered through skilled hands, warm stones, fascia work, and presence.

Your body doesn’t need more doing.
It needs more being.

Permit yourself to rest. Schedule your session.

Holiday Burnout Is Real

If you’re exhausted before Christmas even arrives, you’re not alone.
Your body is whispering:
“Please slow down. Let me catch up to your life.”

A session at ANVIL isn’t just for your muscles —
It’s for the part of you that hasn’t sat still in weeks.

Let us help you unwind what the season winds up.
Book your “Holiday Unwind Session”— spots fill quickly this week.

Small Rituals for Big Relief

Here’s a holiday gift for your nervous system:
Tiny rituals that restore balance.

✨ Put both feet on the floor before standing
✨ Stretch your chest for 10 seconds after wrapping gifts
✨ Drink one glass of water before every holiday event
✨ Let your exhale be longer than your inhale
✨ Say “not this year” when something no longer serves you

Small actions. Big shift.

Save this list for the month — your body will feel the difference.

12/13/2025

Gentle reminder for those feeling stretched thin.

December asks so much of us — errands, gatherings, expectations, emotions.
But your body is quietly asking for something too: a moment to exhale.

At ANVIL, we believe rest is not a luxury this time of year —
Make room for one moment of slowness today.

A breath. A stretch. A pause with your hand on your chest.
Sometimes that’s where healing begins.

Book your end-of-year reset session — your body will thank you in January.

What matters most to ANVIL as a brand

ANVIL is rooted in three core values:

At ANVIL, every session is thoughtfully designed to be as unique as you are. We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions—your well-being is our highest priority. That’s why we carefully select the right combination of therapeutic modalities, adjusting pressure, pace, and approach to fit exactly what your body needs in each moment. Our commitment is to listen to your preferences and respond to your body’s cues, ensuring you receive care that feels personal, effective, and truly restorative.

Stillness is gratitude made visible. In our fast-paced world, taking the time to pause, breathe, and appreciate the present moment is a gift we can give ourselves and those we love.

At ANVIL Bodyworks, we believe that a thankful heart leads to a more relaxed body—where every massage is an opportunity to turn gratitude into motion and stillness into healing. Whether you're seeking relief from daily stress or simply want to reconnect with your sense of well-being, our massage therapy sessions are designed to provide you with the rest and renewal you deserve.

Book your moment of stillness.

Time.

It's one of the things we rarely reflect how freely we give, how cheaply we often give it away, and yet there is nothing more priceless. Sometimes we wish we could slow down time, especially as we grow older. Sometimes we wish we could speed time up. To get to that next goal, get to that next achievement, focusing on the destination rather than the journey. I've always had a sense of the flow of time. The tic of each second.
Moment by moment, breath by breath.

I have a sense of the moment, this present moment. Unique, special, and different.

I've often said that I “don't need the federal government to give me permission to express gratitude and to give thanks”. So, as I sit here at the sunset of 2025, I want to reflect. I want to give sincere thanks to all of my clients. I want to give thanks to you, who have chosen to spend your time; your hard-earned monies, in exchange for my time and service. I want you to know that it is an honor to spend time with each and every one of you.

The privilege to sit with you week after week, month after month, year after year, and to share in your challenges and your celebrations, your heartbreaks, and your accomplishments; has been a very highlight of my life.

When I started down this path to become your ‘friendly neighborhood body-worker’, I never realized the impact that I would have on you, and I'm surprised at the impact that you have had on me. With each encouragement to let go and breathe and smile…you have encouraged me. ANVIL Bodyworks was born in the idea that we need to slow things down. Appreciating each moment.

We need to breathe (and smile).

We need to care for ourselves; as much or more than we care for others. Those who provide service and care so deeply for others often care very little for themselves. I was that person. I slowly came to realize that I had been living and working and unappreciated by others; and had failed to appreciate myself. The more I gave, the more they took. I had less to give to those who are most important. So, I changed course, and moved in a different direction. That path has brought me here, to you.

My commitment is to continue to be the very best I can be for myself, and for you. Attentive, intentional, focused, empathetic and sensitive; to provide the very best care I can each and every time I have the opportunity to spend time with you.

The privilege is mine.

I am honored to spend time with each and every one of you and provide the most exceptional customer service I can. Thank you for your loyalty. Thank you for your referrals. Thank you for your commitment; to yourself and to ANVIL Bodyworks.
Thank you for your time, our most precious commodity.

You and your time is appreciated.
You and your time is valued.
Your time will never be cheaply spent with me, and I am honored to spend my time with you.

With all I have, thank you.

"I've been a regular client for a while now. Chris's ability to focus on customized care is what keeps me coming back. He's an expert at his massage techniques, zeroing in on areas of chronic muscle pain and tension and providing lasting relief. Every session is unique because he always takes the time before we start to talk about my current needs, and the massage itself is perfectly tailored to what my body needs. He doesn't just go through a routine; he's actively engaged in doing what's necessary to help me. I always walk out relaxed and rejuvenated, and overall, I have seen a difference since I’ve been coming. A true professional."
