My life shifted in high school. I wanted to feel better about myself and began that search by exploring what I was putting in my body. As a teenager my main priority was to lose weight, so I started to see a nutritionist. My basic goals at the time were achieved, but what I didn't know was that I was beginning a new direction in my life.
Hanna Somatic Education is a slow and gentle neuromuscular release method that frees chronic tension and pain from your body. Thomas Hanna created this practice by using both hands-on work as well as guided exercises that communicate with your brain (the motor cortex) in order to efficiently release tension patterns in your musculature.
If you are experiencing pain, tension or discomfort and are looking for guidance on how to feel better in your body, consider booking a private session with Christine. A private session is designed specifically for the holding patterns in your body.
Christine will begin with a verbal intake to discover what areas of your body need attention and she will also conduct a visual analysis of you standing to learn about further patterns present in your alignment.Based on what she discovers, Christine will develop a session to support and bring relief to your body.

Wow! I just had the Thai Foot Reflexology and Therapeutic Massage combination session and it was 2 hours of BLISS. My feet were grateful for the extra attention after a long weekend hike and Christine masterfully unwound the achy muscles in my calves, quads and hamstrings.
She also dedicated some extra time to my low back and hips since I tend to have low back problems from my desk job. She was able to find all the right spots to release tension, and her level of pressure was perfect. I am feeling so much better, I can't wait for my next session!

Christine is a gifted body worker. Her warm personality, professionalism, knowledge, intuition, and strength makes her work truly special. She takes the time to assess your problem areas and listen to your preferences regarding pressure and problem areas. I had a two hour massage today, which began with a foot bath and reflexology and then a full body deep tissue massage. It was amazing! I can’t wait until my next session. Highly recommend.

The best of the best! Christine blends her strong knowledge of massage techniques, structure of the body and different massage modalities with a deep intuitive understanding of the body. Her respect for this healing art is evident in the sensitive touch she uses, a blend between firm and caring.
Love her massage and foot reflexology sessions! Not to be missed whether you are just passing through Santa Fe or you are a local.
