About Me
Originally from Springfield and attending Greenon High School I left for schooling and spent over twenty years in Syracuse, NY. I am a graduate of Onondaga School of Therapeutic Massage and am a member of the American Massage Therapy Association. I am nationally board licensed through NCBTMB as well as licensed by the States of Ohio and New York in Massage Therapy. I am excited to have moved back to Ohio to be near my family.
My specialization is in Orthopedic Massage and I am certified by The Center for Pain Management under James Waslaski, LMT. I also hold a Bachelors Degree in Psychology. I am a Certified Personal Trainer and a Corrective Exercise Specialist through the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM).
As a life-long athlete and college soccer goalkeeper, I have experienced many sports related injuries including: Sciatica, Thoracic Outlet Syndrome, and Rotator Cuff Strains leading to Frozen Shoulders. I spent many years in pain in search of effective treatments.
Finally, through Orthopedic Massage, I am now symptom free with full range of motion at every joint! I am passionate about the possibilities of these techniques facilitating healing for those living in pain.
Testimonial
"I have had back problems for many years and been diagnosed with fibromyalgia. Four years ago, I underwent double tarsal tunnel release on both heels. Since then I have had numbness in both feet and trouble walking without the support of expensive sneakers and foot supports. I deal with pain constantly and have had a couple of flare-ups which I thought were sciatic in origin that have affected my ability to walk, climb stairs and perform my daily tasks."
"Recently, I was referred by my chiropractor to Kris. In only one session with her, I knew she was going to help me. I was totally impressed with her knowledge of the anatomy and muscular structure. Her quick assessment of my particular situation was amazing and the instant relief I got was reassuring."
"I also am maintaining my muscular structure and my activity level has improved 80%. The numbness in my feet has dramatically lessened. I feel that had I been referred to her long ago I might never had reached the point I did and very possibly could have avoided surgery. She has taught me so much about my body and muscular structure and how to relieve the pain myself.
I can not speak highly enough of Kris and her treatments. I believe that everyone would benefit from this type of treatment as a form of preventative medicine. I have raved about her to my podiatrist and he recommended that I keep up with the sessions as he sees a dramatic improvement in my feet."
