Christy Greenwood • Registered Counsellor + Expressive Arts Therapist Expressive Arts Therapy • Registered Therapeutic Counselling • Massage You are unique and I intend to meet you where you are at.

I aim to listen deeply, inquire gently, and offer an opportunity to pivot towards helpful tools that support lasting, healthy change for your precious life. Prior to this work, I practiced massage therapy for 22 years. During that time I trained in and offered Reiki, 5-element acupressure, Lomi Lomi, Thai Massage, BodyTalk, Hatha Yoga & Kundalini Dance. The treasures of these intricate systems of understanding inform the way I see us and our world. My extensive experience working closely with people and their bodies has given me great insight into the embodied roots of emotional & mental health. I'm passionate about offering a relaxing space that stokes the healing spark of your creative genius. I gently invite you into your curiosity & beckon you through the colourful gateway of your imagination. Adults, Teens, Youth, online & in-person.

Hi folks,
I'm dropping off gift certificates in Sointula in the coming weeks. Let me know if you want to be added to the list.

Massage Prices:
30 mins + 15 min consult = $50
45 mins + 15 min consult = $75
60 mins + 15 min consult = $100
90 mins + 15 min consult = $140

I've been massaging for 25 years, have studied many modalities and was an RMT in Manitoba.

I offer customized sessions from luxurious relaxation to deep tissue with trigger point work in my clinic space in Mitchell Bay (where we are renovating a very creative house!). I have an infrared heat mat on the table and use some hot stones to help melt tension in the muscles.

I also am an Expressive Arts Therapist and Registered Therapeutic Counsellor. Those sessions are covered by most insurance benefits but I don't offer gift certificates for them.

*I don't massage my counselling clients in respect of counselling ethics.

Thank you to everyone who has come for sessions with me and supported my little business here on the island. It's been a joy to get to know each of you and serve the community in this way.

More info in the c0mments.

About

☆ I am a devotee to the creative spark. I live and work on unceded territory of the Quw’utsun mustiimihw (Cowichan People) near the Cowichan River on Vancouver Island, BC. I live as a Mama, wife, intuitive healing artist, photography enthusiast, dance facilitator and herbal artist helping people connect to their creative body wisdom. I help people during life-pivoting and tender times to explore their growth edges and wild truth with gentleness and care. My intention is to embody loving, grounded wild wisdom while providing sacred space with a side of humour to nourish the flame of loving truth within those I work with. I channel earth energy, starlight, cosmic magic, creative spirit and elemental consciousness while offering massage therapy and intuitive modalities that nourish the body temple of the soul. I work with individuals, couples and groups who are ready to pivot in a direction that nourishes a revolution in consciousness. I am an Usui Reiki Master practicing transformational bodywork for 19 years. I am a co-founder of Dance Temple Cowichan and have been initiated, trained and certified to offer Massage Therapy, BodyTalk, Kundalini Dance, Lomi Lomi, Traditional Thai Massage, Hot LaStone Therapy & Hatha Yoga.

I was born in Manitoba on the territory of the Métis Anishinabewaki ᐊᓂᔑᓈᐯᐗᑭ and Očeti Šakówiŋ (Sioux) nations. My parents are Sandra & Garry Lindell with an ancestral background of Swedish, Scottish, Cree & English heritage. I am a daughter, granddaughter, sister, mother, wife, and friend to humans, animals, plants. I live with my husband, spirited teenage son and adorable cat. Here I bow to the power of nature, play music, get witchy with herbs, photograph beauty and host retreat guests at River Owl Retreat. I am devoted to my beloveds, my magical medicine path, plant allies, nature, music & creativity.
