Healing begins here.
HOLISTIC PRACTICE
PHILOSOPHY
The body is amazing and complex network of interconnected systems. Addressing an affected area of the body as it relates to the whole, and taking into account not only physical symptoms but emotional and social factors, is central to how Chris assesses treatment.
With a solid foundation in medical massage training balanced with an intuitive approach, Chris' work is detail-oriented and truly integral.
Understanding treatment to be a synergy between client and practitioner, Chris encourages open communication and believes in educating individuals about their health and wellness. As part of the ongoing partnership, Chris promotes increased body awareness, lifestyle change, and self-care. Questions are welcome and encouraged.
Chris has been in practice in the Northern Michigan community for over fifteen years and is dedicated to providing high quality therapeutics that yield results.
