Introduction

I started studying massage in 2001 and have maintained a private practice in Los Angeles for 15 years. My specialty is utilizing deep tissue with focused intention to help manage chronic pain (such as, but not limited to) migraines, sciatica, fibromyalgia, and upper/lower back issues due to repetitive motion, injury, or just every day stressors. I can also lull you into a lighter state of mind with a relaxing, stress-melting Swedish massage. Each session is specifically designed to meet the clients' needs and specifications. The most fulfilling part of my work is improving a clients' every day quality of life. If I can change somebody's day for the better, that is beyond rewarding. I also just genuinely like people and the one-on-one aspect of massage therapy is very enjoyable. Connecting with a client and seeing their health improve through each session is priceless.

I don't know what I would do without Krista's magic hands. I work as a sign language interpreter which requires a lot of repeatative movement on the arms, shoulders and neck. She helps me stay away from injury and losens overworked muscles. Krista is also great masseuse for people who exercise. I am really active person: run, spin, Pilates etcetera and she keeps my muscles going for the next activity I have got planned that week. If that isn't enough to convince you that Krista is the right masseuse for you, she is also one of the kindest people I know. She has picked up my spirits when I've been down, kept me laughing when I've been in great mood and knows those times when I just need to relax and disconnect. Book an appointment now and see for yourself.

Every experience I've had with Krista has been amazing. She's knowledgable, friendly and the most skilled massage therapist I've ever had. I felt completely comfortable and cared for. I would highly recommend her to anyone.

You know when you find a massage therapist who is so good at their job, they seem to have an intuitive sense of exactly where all the sore spots are and how to fix them? That's Krista. Highly recommend.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Please click on the media section of my profile for studio and traveling rates.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
When first working with a client, I do a verbal intake regarding their massage goal (pain management, stress reduction, relaxation), what their daily life is like in order to pinpoint any triggering repetitive motion, or past and present injuries.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I studied at NHI (formerly Touch Therapy Institute) in Encino. I'm a CAMTC licensed massage therapist.
