guided by the frequencies of nature, kristina’s one-on-one sessions offer a complete reset for your ENTIRE system. body, mind and spirit. “bodywork energetics” is the name that kristina uses to describe as best as she can her one-on-one healing sessions. the name has evolved over the years and she has now landed on “bodywork energetics” as a way to try to capture the many aspects of a session with her. the basics include energy healing, hands on touch through therapeutic massage , and medicinal aromatherapy.

what is energy healing you might ask? energy healing is a way to access the unseen - through frequency. there are countless practices that have become more widely familiar in recent years. kristina is certified in a number of them. however, she always comes back to all the answers lie in the simplicity of nature. although she appreciates her trainings, she prefers to let all that she has been taught integrate and melt into her own nameless form, most influenced by the principles of native american healing and the flow of tai chi.

the way that kristina works with energy healing is most often through hands on touch in the form of more commonly well-known therapeutic massage. She also uses a generous amount of the highest quality Wisdom of the Earth essential oils and laka herb farm herbal salves in all of her sessions, as they each contribute their own unique healing gifts (on both the physical and the energetic realms) in addition to the physical tissue work. with a grounded and powerful touch, kristina will apply a steady flow of intuitively guided medicinal grade plant medicines on your spine, head, heart and feet throughout your session. Each new essence will bring its own unique energy and transformative gifts into your body, mind and spirit. They are such a significant contribution to sessions that they are not an “add on”, although requests not to use them will of course be honored. Kristina’s way of incorporating the essences is similar to “rain drop therapy” which is a generally a standalone aromatherapy treatment. So not only will you receive an exceptional massage, you will also be receiving a healing aromatherapy treatment…. at the same time. all products used during your session are available for purchase after your treatment or later online.

kristina’s way of integrating all of the above is basically through accessing your nervous system. She feels that working with the head and spine is where most of the magic happens, so she loves working on these areas and they have become an area of specialty for her. IN SUMMARY… THE NERVOUS SYSTEM IS LIKE A HIGHWAY SYSTEM IN YOUR BODY, WHERE THE SIGNALS RUN THROUGH YOUR NERVOUS SYSTEM TO TELL THE BODY WHAT TO DO AND HOW TO FEEL. WHEN THERE ARE ROADBLOCKS AND THE SIGNALS DON’T FLOW SMOOTHLY OR AT ALL, THAT’S WHEN ALL PROBLEMS GET BIGGER. VITAL ENERGY IN OUR ORGANS GET DEPLETED WHICH CHALLENGES OUR ABILITY TO FUNCTION, SLEEP, THINK CLEARLY AND FEEL GOOD. OUR INCREDIBLE BODIES HAVE THE WISDOM AND THE ABILITY TO HEAL THEMSELVES, IT’S SOMETIMES (WELL… MAYBE ALWAYS…. HINT, HINT) A MATTER OF SIMPLY CLEARING THE BLOCKS AND NURTURING THE SYSTEM. AND RECONNECTING THE PATH. therefore, she tends to specialize and spend a generous amount of hands-on time working on the head, neck and spine. she believes that a nervous system reset is the magic key.

her work is designed to give you maximum benefit for your life, far beyond the benefit of leaving with just relaxed muscles. kristina believes that maintaining a balanced nervous system is the key to living your best life. whether you are faced with illness/injury, NEED IMMUNE SUPPORT/HAVE INFLAMMATION IN YOUR BODY, ARE IN a time of life transformation and or stress, need some extra TLC AND DEEP RELAXATION, or simply you believe in the importance of maintaining your health so you can keep going for the long run… WHO DOESN’T FALL IN TO ANY OF THOSE CATEGORIES?! THE POINT IS…. THIS KIND OF SESSION IS SOMETHING THAT CAN BENEFIT EVERYONE. REGULARY.

although these are the most frequently requested modalities that kristina works with, she does have other offerings which she is happy to incorporate or even spend an entire session working with instead. If you would like to just take your session over the top…. consider asking for yet another signature element of kristina’s gifts to be included into your session ~ the multidimensional tones of the crystal bowls. bringing in these frequencies adds another dimension that encourages your system to receive bodywork at a whole new level without a full sound healing session (choose a full crystal bowl sound healing session for that). it only requires about 5 - 15 minutes of time with the crystal bowls to dramatically increase how much more your system can receive in a bodywork energetics session. there is no add-on cost to experience this all, it’s simply a matter of having enough time booked to accommodate and integrate it all without feeling rushed. simply let kristina know that you would like the crystal bowls to be a part of your session.

other possible modalities include castor oil treatments, offering intuitive or spiritual guidance, consultation for suggesting essential oils that might be helpful for you, taking a look at your astrology chart to bring clarity on something, or a complete native american crystal healing session in and of itself. it is simply a matter of how much time you book and how are you best served with the time she has reserved for you. please let kristina know when you book your session if you desire to receive any of these other offerings. they all fall under this title of “bodywork energetics” as they all have the same intention and purpose - deep healing for your entire system - body, mind and spirit.

however you choose to spend your session time, please choose enough time to meet your needs. she blocks off however much time you choose, so know that all conversations, including before and after hands on bodywork time are part of your time, including asking for guidance and recommendations. She honors that it simply takes a certain amount of time to give a satisfying massage, so please choose your session length accordingly. she always encourages minimizing conversations to truly get the most from her work, unless you are specifically seeking guidance. and in that case, consider booking a separate consultation appointment. her style of massage is to work slowly and therefore deeply and needs enough time reserved so that your time feels complete. no matter how much time you choose, It is strongly encouraged to reserve time, space and hydration for the body to process after your session.

• 90 minutes tends to be the sweet spot if your goal is primarily for relaxing your muscles in a fabulous full body therapeutic massage. kristina prefers 90 minutes for most sessions.

• 60 minutes is simply too short for a satisfying full body massage, but great if you are only seeking focused massage on a particular area of your body (eg, upper body, or legs). 60 minutes is also great if your primary goal is resetting your nervous system.

• 120 minutes is best if you are interested in integrating other modalities and still receiving a satisfying 90 minute full body therapeutic massage. 120 minutes is also great for seasoned receivers of bodywork. as great as it feels on the spot, sometimes it can be too much later if you are not used to receiving regular bodywork. kristina actually loves working 120 minute sessions, but please choose wisely for your body.

• consider booking a personal retreat as another unique option for more time… to have more time to get to all the things in a powerful, integrated, and cohesive way.

integrating all of these modalities is what makes kristina’s work so unique and so special. more than one client has expressed their experience as a “massage for the soul.” :) the result is that clients feel nurtured on the deepest levels. and smell absolutely amazing! THE BOTTOM LINE… IS THAT THIS TIME HELPS YOU RELAX, RESET, AND RECHARGE SO THAT YOU CAN FEEL BETTER AND DO MORE. AND… IT FEELS REALLY GREAT, TOO! :)
