Hi! My name is Krista and I have been a Licensed Massage Therapist in Illinois since 2015 and Tennessee since 2019. Before then, I worked as an EMT and completed 4 years of schooling for registered nursing. I made the transition to becoming a self-employed massage therapist after deciding I wanted a career that allowed better work/life balance for my family. I am grateful for the knowledge I obtained from my previous schooling and work experience, as I believe it has made me a better massage therapist with a more in depth knowledge of anatomy and physiology. While I specialize in sports massage and deep tissue modalities, I am certified in many different forms and can create a massage suitable for clients of any age and limitation. Technique and pressure can always be modified to ensure your comfort, and communication is important to achieve the goals of treatment. My massage style is a custom blend of various massage modalities; as this creates an individualized session for my clients based on their specific needs. This can include any of modalities and add on services listed below that I am certified in. Whether you are looking for stress relief, athletic recovery, or something in between; we can cater the session to whatever you need! Please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions and I look forward to seeing you soon!
