MA 107945/MM 47091 Hi, I'm Christa. MA 107945/MM 47091

I am so glad you are here! I’m a Christian Functional Health Coach and Licensed Massage Therapist with a certification in Functional Nutrition Counseling and advanced training in Functional Bloodwork Analysis and Clinical HTMA. Since 2018, I’ve been helping Christian women uncover the root causes behind chronic fatigue, pain, and digestive struggles—so they can feel like themselves again.

When you hear the word massage, what comes to mind?
A spa day treat? Someone working a sore muscle until it hurts? Maybe both?

Spa massage is wonderful for what it is. It’s designed to help you relax, decompress, and feel taken care of. It doesn’t usually have a specific therapeutic goal, and it’s not trying to find where your pain is coming from or change how your body is functioning. That’s perfectly okay because that’s not what it’s for.

Therapeutic massage is different. It works with your muscles, connective tissue, nerves, lymphatic system, organs, and nervous system. It follows where your body is holding tension and restriction, finds where the problem is actually coming from, and uses the right technique for that specific tissue in that specific moment to achieve a therapeutic goal like making your knee hurt less.

Does it feel relaxing? Sometimes, but usually relaxation comes after the work is done and your body starts to settle into what just changed. The goal isn’t relaxation. The goal is your body working better than when you walked in.

If you’ve tried massage before and it didn’t help, or it made things worse, I want you to know that is not the whole story. Technique matters. The approach matters. The therapist matters too - their training, their experience, and whether you feel comfortable with them. Finding the right fit makes all the difference.

Spa massage is just the tip of the iceberg, therapeutic massage is an ocean. There are far more options than most people realize.

I’d love to talk through what those options look like for you. Drop a question in the comments or send me a DM.

You don’t need another generic massage where someone asks “where does it hurt?” and rubs on it for an hour.

You don’t need more PT exercises you’re not going to do at home. (No judgment, we’ve all been there.)

What I do is different.

I figure out why you hurt, not just where. I look at how you move, find what’s not working right, and fix the pattern that’s causing the problem.

Most clients feel a real difference before they leave.

This month I’m running a Buddy BOGO! Grab a friend and you both get 50% off your first session. You don’t have to come in together.

I’m Christa. I’m a licensed massage therapist and functional health coach. I just moved to Florida and I am rejoicing that February (mostly) doesn’t require a coat.

I got into this work because I was the person who couldn’t get answers. I spent years dealing with pain and being told everything looked fine. Nobody ever bothered to dig deeper or to follow the trail from where it hurt back to what was actually causing it. When I finally found someone who did that for me, it changed everything.

Now I do that for other women. I follow the chain of muscles in your body back to where the real problem is, which is almost never where you feel the pain.

Mostly I work with women over 40 who are tough, capable, and used to pushing through but quietly dealing with a body that’s not cooperating the way it used to.

When I’m not working, you’ll probably find me with coffee in hand, enjoying the sunshine, laughing too loud, or talking someone’s ear off about why muscles do weird things.

If you’re new here, welcome! I’m really glad you’re here.

December usually means overindulgence, busy schedules, and stress.
That combination puts real strain on digestion.

In January, digestion doesn't need a cleanse or a detox.
It needs rest and recovery.

The basics of digestive support are simple:
✔️ Adequate stomach acid
✔️ Digestive enzymes
✔️ Magnesium
When digestion is supported gently, minerals absorb better, energy steadies, and the body can actually recover.

January shouldn't be about forcing a reset, but it is a great time to let your digestive system reset gently.

If you want to know more about gently restoring your digestion and are ready for a clear, personalized plan,
schedule a Discovery Call to see if the Mineral Balance Blueprint is what you've been looking for.

It's a new year. Shouldn't your body should feel refreshed by now? 😉
We all know pain and stiffness don't reset just because the calendar changed.

It's frustrating when your body still feels slow or sore, and it can create that quiet fear that this is just how life is now.

Ongoing pain doesn't mean your body is broken.
It often means it hasn't had the chance to recover properly.

Setting intentions in January includes acknowledging where your body really is, but it doesn't mean you have to accept that it will stay that way.

If you're a mom or grandma ready to move more with less pain, schedule your Functional Mobility Session today.

January feels like a fresh start, but the pressure to start new things usually competes with my desperate need to take a deep breath and rest.

December is full emotionally, physically, and spiritually.
Even when it's all good, it's still a lot.
So instead of starting over, I use January to set the pace for the new year.
To slow down.
To pray and listen.
To let my body catch up.

You don't need a new version of yourself this month.
You need space to recover and clarity to move forward well.

This month we'll be talking about digestion, minerals, and steady foundations -- not quick resets or hustle.

This a MUCH better recommendation, although I would start the recommended protein at 1.6g/kg.

Minerals are co-factors of every process in the body. When they’re deficient or out of balance, everything feels harder. Your body is trying to run with no spark plugs.

At Nurture we use HTMA testing to identify mineral patterns that affect energy, hormones, digestion, and mood and then create a simple plan to restore your mineral balance. I call it the Mineral Balance Blueprint.

The Mineral Balance Blueprint Plus package combines Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) with functional bloodwork to create a more complete picture of what your body needs.

This package helps us see how your minerals, hormones, liver, thyroid, and metabolic systems are working together or where they may be under strain both in real time and for the past few months. By interpreting these tests through a functional lens, we can identify patterns of imbalance and create a plan that supports your unique body.

Your recommendations may include customized supplements, specific food and hydration strategies, and practical lifestyle guidance, rooted in evidence-based protocols and from a biblical worldview.

This is for the woman who’s ready for deeper clarity on chronic or complex issues or just looking for the bigger picture to stop managing symptoms and rebuild health.

The Mineral Balance Blueprint is my core functional health coaching service. I use a test called Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) to reveal what’s happening beneath the surface of your health.

I test your mineral levels and ratios, interpret the results, and create a personalized plan to reduce oxidative stress and improve mineral usage throughout the body. Your recommendations may include customized supplements, nourishing food choices, and lifestyle guidance — all designed to support your body.

Improving your mineral status can improve fatigue, hormonal changes, digestion, pain, and stress by rebuilding the foundation your body depends on for energy and resilience.

It’s not about quick fixes or perfect routines — it’s about giving your body what it truly needs.

✨ Curious what your mineral status might reveal?

At Nurture, Functional Mobility Sessions are outcome-focused therapeutic massage appointments. I combine common massage and advanced bodywork techniques to address the root of pain and restriction. Bodywork (or manual therapy) can improve function in every system in the body - not just the musculoskeletal system.

Each session is personalized and may include neuromuscular therapy, visceral manipulation, cupping, proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF), and other targeted massage modalities.
The goal is always: restore functional movement, reduce pain, and support the body’s ability to heal.

This isn’t about temporary relaxation; it’s about creating real, lasting change in how your body feels and performs.

Whether you’re managing chronic pain, fatigue, or movement limitations, digestive issues, nervous system issues, poor sleep, or the aches and pains of pregnancy, these sessions help your body function the way God designed.

Book your Functional Mobility Session today using the link.tree in my bio. Wondering if I can help you with your specific issues? Comment below, send me a message, or book a Discovery Call! I'm happy to answer questions any time.

Encouraging Growth

When we nurture something, we are encouraging growth - physical, mental, or spiritual. We can effect positive change in ourselves and others in so many ways, but it is hard to be a positive presence when you don’t feel well. Physical pain, stress, illness, emotional distress...they all intertwine in our lives and bring us below the line we call “wellness.” Whether you have a specific problem you need to address or are looking to implement healthier changes to your home or routine Nurture Wellness and Massage is here to help. We offer integrative Massage Therapy and Aromatherapy services as well as products and information to help you on your journey to more toxin-free living.
