The Massage Source

Christina has a long proven history in healing the body; she has seven years of experience as an acupuncturist and 13 as a massage therapist. Combining both, Christina brings the comfort and skill of her bodywork experience to her current practice, using supplemental methods such as aromatherapy, gua sha and cupping to help release toxins and tension. Christina wants clients to feel at home, as healing should always take place in a safe and relaxed environment. Each tranquil, energy-driven session includes a variety of holistic healing modalities, recharging the body and mind, alleviating pain and lessening stress levels. The depth of Christina's knowledge in Eastern medicine has been helpful not only to patients but for budding acupuncturists as well, as she supervises and has also taught others the arts of acupuncture and massage therapy throughout her career. Christina has been a practitioner of holistic healing methods since 1995, and has studied a multitude of modalities, including acupuncture, neuromuscular massage (trigger point), manual lymph drainage, Thai yoga, health kinesiology, aromatherapy, reflexology, cupping and Chinese herbal remedies. Christina employs light beam generators in her treatments to stimulate the lymphatic system and speed healing. She also uses techniques to reduce allergy symptoms. She has two locations: Kensington and Gaithersburg (at Relaxing Alternatives Wellness Center).
