Treatments
Massage Therapy
Relax and rejuvenate with a classic Swedish Massage, designed to relieve tension and promote overall well-being. This treatment uses long, flowing strokes to improve circulation, ease muscle tension, and enhance relaxation. With her intentional, slow techniques and grounding breathwork, Krista blends a calming approach that leaves you feeling refreshed and restored. She creates an inclusive, body-positive space to ensure your comfort is always the top priority.
Discover the benefits of cupping massage, a specialized treatment that blends traditional massage techniques with the ancient practice of cupping. Silicone cupping involves using flexible cups to create suction on the skin, helping to increase range of motion, alleviate muscle pain, and address deep fascial adhesions. Krista's skill in cupping enhances the effectiveness of the massage, offering targeted pain relief and a deeper sense of well-being. Ideal for those dealing with muscle discomfort, chronic pain, or seeking a refreshing upgrade to their massage routine, all in a trauma-informed and supportive environment.
Elevate your massage experience with a custom aromatherapy add-on, featuring essential oil blends thoughtfully crafted by Krista. Aromatherapy can significantly enhance massage benefits by reducing pain, inflammation, stress, and anxiety, while also improving sleep quality. Krista’s tailored formulations provide focused support for concerns such as arthritis, muscle strains, joint discomfort, headaches, insomnia, and mental health. These blends work synergistically with the massage, enhancing comfort and overall well-being. Choose from one of the following blends, all designed to leave you feeling revitalized:
- Rise – Bergamot, pink grapefruit, lavender, frankincense, and cedar leaf
- Root – Tangerine, vanilla, cloves, ylang-ylang, ginger, cardamom and sandalwood
- Release – Wintergreen, lavender, ravensara, coriander, marjoram, rosemary, basil, and vetiver
Experience the transformative benefits of prenatal and postnatal massage, designed specifically to support your journey before and after childbirth. Prenatal massage helps reduce anxiety, stress, and physical discomfort, promoting a more comfortable pregnancy and better sleep. It alleviates common issues like back pain and swelling, supporting both your emotional and physical well-being as your body changes.
Postnatal massage aids recovery after childbirth, easing postpartum depression and anxiety, improving circulation, and supporting cesarean scar healing. Prioritizing self-care through massage can enhance your overall well-being as you adjust to life as a new parent.
Relieve the stiffness and discomfort associated with arthritis through this gentle, therapeutic massage. Castor oil is applied to nourish and soothe the skin, while warm paraffin wax is used to increase circulation and ease stiff joints. Krista’s approach focuses on improving joint mobility and reducing inflammation, making daily movement more comfortable. This treatment is customized to provide relief for those managing arthritis and is delivered with care and attention to your unique needs.
Lymphatic Drainage & Scar Release
Support your healing journey with Krista’s specialized pre-op and post-op Brazilian lymphatic massage, designed to enhance recovery and minimize discomfort. This treatment focuses on reducing swelling, promoting lymphatic drainage, and improving tissue health, ideal for individuals recovering from surgery. Using gentle, rhythmic strokes combined with advanced techniques, Krista helps alleviate fluid retention, improve circulation, and decrease inflammation, all while ensuring a relaxing, trauma-informed experience.
For post-op clients, scar release therapy can be incorporated to soften scar tissue, reduce adhesions, and enhance mobility. Through myofascial release, cupping, and gentle friction techniques, Krista works to make scars more pliable and support the body’s natural healing process. This treatment can be particularly beneficial for clients recovering from cosmetic or medical surgeries, offering a soothing, supportive space to promote healing.
With her inclusive, body-neutral approach, Krista ensures your comfort and healing are top priorities, fostering an environment where your physical and emotional comfort are always prioritized.
A specialized massage designed to address and improve scar tissue quality, Krista’s approach includes varying techniques such as cupping, friction, k-taping, and myofascial release. This treatment helps make scar tissue more pliable, decreases adhesions, and increases range of motion. Castor oil may be used to support tissue health, while paraffin wax soothes and warms the area. Hydrotherapy complements the treatment, aiding in overall healing. Suitable for all types of scars, including those from injuries, surgeries, or burns, this treatment is designed to support your healing journey
Mobile Massage Services
Krista’s mobile massage practice is dedicated solely to palliative, geriatric, and caregiver massage, offering gentle, adapted treatments designed for those facing illness, aging, or the challenges of caregiving. Unlike traditional massage, which often focuses on deep tissue work and muscle recovery, her approach prioritizes comfort, relaxation, and emotional well-being, using techniques specifically suited for fragile health conditions.
Krista’s work is rooted in a deep understanding of the physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects of care. With advanced training in palliative, oncology, and geriatric massage, as well as trauma-informed care, grief awareness, and contemplative end-of-life support (death doula practices), each session is designed to meet clients where they are in their journey. Reiki Level 2 energy healing further enhances her holistic approach, honoring the body’s wisdom and need for comfort.
Every session is guided by presence, dignity, and the power of compassionate touch to bring relief and connection where it’s needed most. This is more than massage—it is Krista’s commitment to providing gentle, meaningful care at every stage of life.
Mobile Massage Services are offered in the comfort of the patient’s chosen environment, whether at home or in a care facility. This ensures the individual receives treatment in a familiar and supportive space, tailored to their needs and preferences.

Palliative care massage is a gentle, comforting approach designed for individuals receiving end-of-life or chronic illness care. This treatment focuses on providing relaxation, easing discomfort, and promoting a sense of peace. Using light, soothing touch, Krista works to alleviate pain, anxiety, and fatigue, while offering a supportive, calming presence. Each session is tailored to the individual’s comfort, to enhance quality of life and provide moments of ease during this stage of care.
Adapted for seniors, this massage supports circulation, reduces stiffness, and offers a sense of calm through respectful, nurturing touch.
Sessions can be provided in a chair, recliner, or bed depending on mobility and comfort.
Short, restorative sessions for those caring for others. Using a portable massage chair, treatments are done fully clothed and focus on relieving tension and stress—ideal for caregivers who need a supportive pause in their day.
