About
Seventeen years in this field has taught me one thing: the body remembers everything. Every old injury, every stressful deadline, every time you pushed through pain instead of pausing to listen. I started that journey in Las Vegas working with dancers and acrobats from Cirque Du Soleil, people whose bodies spoke a language of precision and consequence. That was my graduate school in understanding how movement, structure, and emotion live together in muscle and tissue.
I've been in Seattle for a decade now, and this is where I've built my practice. My clients are corporate professionals carrying tension in their shoulders, weekend warriors who overdid it on the trail, sports professionals in the middle of their season, and performers still recovering from last night's show. What they all share is a need to feel safe enough to let go.
My approach blends several modalities depending on what your body is telling me. I work with Trigger Point Therapy and Sports Massage for structural issues, Myofascial Release and CranioSacral Therapy for deeper integration, and energy-based practices like Fire Cupping, Shiatsu, Thai, Acupressure, and Lomi Lomi when the work calls for something gentler. I trained at the Nevada School of Massage in Las Vegas, and I've spent the years since expanding that foundation with study in anatomy, physiology, kinesiology, and pathology.
I describe myself as an empath, and I've learned to trust that capacity. I can sense where pain lives—not just the obvious physical knot, but the mental and emotional weight that lives alongside it. That skill, combined with technique, is what lets me build a therapy plan that's genuinely yours, not a template.
I work both in my studio and mobile throughout the Seattle area. I welcome clients from all backgrounds and identities. What matters most to me is that you walk in and feel you belong here, that your privacy is honored, and that you leave feeling the difference.

Testimonials
Chris is a true healer. I arrived at my appointment dealing with both anxiety and physical pain. He created a welcoming environment, heard what I was experiencing, and helped me feel safe enough to let my body relax. When I left, my back and neck pain had noticeably improved, and I felt emotionally grounded and calm. If you're in the Seattle area, book an appointment with Chris.
Christopher demonstrates exceptional skill and genuine commitment to his work, bringing professionalism, respect, and attentiveness to every session. I struggle with chronic lower back pain, and his massage gave me the chance to relax in a way I hadn't experienced in years. The work was simultaneously relaxing and active, deep and intense, yet completely comfortable. Four hours after my appointment, my pain had completely resolved. I plan to make Christopher part of my ongoing care routine. I'm grateful to have found him.
