What inspires Kristina's Running Hands?

I am a Licensed Massage Therapist focused on maintaining a client-centered professional practice.

"Our bodies communicate to us clearly and specifically, if we are willing to listen." Shakti Gawain

I graduated from The Swedish Institute in NYC in 2006 with an Associates in Massage Therapy. I practiced as a NY Licensed Massage Therapist for almost 6 years, before returning to my roots in CT in the fall of 2011. I pride myself on always addressing a client's chief complaint, whether it be recovering from a specific injury, a chronic pain concern, or the need to alleviate stress. I have developed various personalized techniques which I apply in a massage accordingly. Clients regularly comment on my unique style and ability to intuitively address specific body needs.

I am proficient in deep tissue massage. I acquired many of these techniques while being mentored at Equinox gym in NYC. I obtained even more deep tissue knowledge after completing a Sports Massage Certification continuing education class in NYC. I was a recreational runner who completed two NYC Marathons, Warrior Dashes, Half Marathons and numerous 10Ks in Central Park. I have fallen victim to various sport injuries myself and can relate, understand and improve on clients' injuries in turn.
I know when it's appropriate to provide an interactive massage, or more of a relaxing session. I am not all elbows and deep pressure! I understand there is a time and a place for deeper work. Not all respond to deep work and some need a mix depending on the concern being addressed. I did complete Reiki 1 training. Although I do not offer Reiki sessions, the training does add an energy healing element to my work. It's about the client. I simply find which techniques work best and create a session completely catered to an individuals' needs.

Although, I do not run like I used to, one can catch me at a Zumba class from time to time. Or you may see me reading up on nutrition, or alternative medicine. I enjoy partaking in community theatre and love spending quiet time at home with my husband and cat. I am a firm believer in taking time out for yourself. I hope your next time out includes a visit to my office to try out my
Running Hands. Be Well!
