New practice location in Midland!
Hello everyone, I’m Krista, and I’m so happy to be working here at Palmer Chiropractic & Wellness! I was introduced to massage in 2004 when I sought regular treatments for desk-work related tension and stress. Within a couple months, I began to re-evaluate my work and life goals, quit my office career, got married, moved, and enrolled in the massage therapy program. After graduating and registering with the CMTO in August 2006, I obtained my 1st and 2nd degree Reiki certification in 2009, and completed the Yoga Teacher training in 2010, practicing and learning through various venues over the years. As a new Midland resident, moving from Sarnia with my husband and three children in December 2018, I am eager to revive my practice and meet new clients!
With 13 years of experience as a Registered Massage Therapist in maintenance care, managing chronic conditions, injury recovery, and holistic healing in settings from private office, full service spa, wellness centre and multidisciplinary clinic, I have developed a keen sense of meeting each client where they are in their healing and wellness journey. Based on a fundamental belief in the body’s inherent healing capacity and ability to maintain homeostasis, I help to make space for the healing to regain health and vitality.
My therapy has been described as “intuitively guided therapeutic massage”, with a specialty in addressing chronic pain or restrictions and integrating body awareness into people’s daily lives. My treatment approach is a fluid but firm pressure to coax the body back into balance. Some of the techniques I may use include: general Swedish massage, deep tissue therapy, Reiki healing, fascial techniques, breath awareness, aromatherapy, and passive and/or guided stretching. I am looking to working with people committed to making positive changes in their lives, and sharing what they learn with others.
