Kristin is a licensed massage therapist and trauma informed somatic bodywork practitioner.

​

During her two decades of clinical experience, Kristin has weaved together the principles of somatic psychology that she learned in college, along with her exceptional massage therapy education, to bring about a deeper awareness of approaches that are collaborative in bringing people back into balance.

 

Through her training, guidance, and peer to peer support via the Science of Massage Institute over the past decade, Kristin has taken a deep-dive into how imbalances between the sympathetic and parasympathetic divisions of the autonomic nervous system can be an initial trigger of chronic visceral and somatic abnormalities, how to evaluate soft tissue for these abnormalities, then apply the right medical massage protocol to address each layer of tissue effectively for clinically stable results.

 

Kristin furthered her studies in Somatic Psychology for the Treatment of Trauma from a bodywork perspective from pioneers in the field which reinforced the methods she had been employing in her integrative massage therapy sessions. She is now passionate about teaching these nervous system regulation tools from a medical massage perspective in the community to empower people to have agency over their own healing journeys.
