A massage therapist since 1991

Chris is a licensed NY massage therapist with 30 years of experience. Prior to doing massage, she did graduate and undergraduate work in psychology and education. After having taught special education for several years she became interested in the healing arts. She received her massage training from the Muscular Therapy Institute (MTI) in Cambridge, MA. Upon graduating she taught workshops and classes at MTI for 19 years. After working for 4 years she became interested in energy modalities and trained as a Reiki practitioner.

In 2001 she became a breathwork facilitator, training at the Inner Arts Institute in Watertown, MA. She became passionate about using breathwork to work issues though the body and to help clients deepen their ability to love and feel joy. In 2004 she began to do breathwork groups in and around the Boston area. She also co-facilitated breathwork trainings through the Inner Arts Institute. She is currently doing breathwork groups in the New Paltz area (see the home page /event page for dates).

She also has helped clients with fibromyalgia, pregnancy discomfort, asthma, musculoskeletal problems, trauma integration, and everyday stress. She is a gifted and intuitive healer with a compassionate heart and years of experience.
