I found myself in the uncomfortable predicament of having to see a body worker during covid -19 due to an old foot injury that was causing mobility issues/ muscle imbalances on the left side of my leg. I'm no stranger to bodywork myself; I'm in the field of yoga and anatomy and I was in a lot of pain, so I asked one of my top mentors who's connected to other professionals all over the states if he had any referrals for people who could help me (he also happens to be a national expert and author in the fields yoga, anatomy and breathwork). He without hesitation suggested Christopher

My mom is a massage therapist so I grew up getting massages often. But Christopher's massages are like none other! He is SO good at what he does. He cares deeply about his work, you can really tell. From the first contact to the way he works on your muscles... it's all sooo good! He's very detail oriented and that shows every step of the way. He really discusses things thoroughly before and after the session. I wish I could get massages alllllll the time! And with covid-19, he is doing EVERYTHING right to ensure that you're getting a massage safely during this time. Go see

I have gotten a lot of massages over the years in a few parts of the country, and a few in Austin. But this. This massage was something ive never experienced. It was the best massage I've ever had. It was a deep tissue, and there was some discomfort, as there should be, but it all felt purposeful. Christopher knew exactly what he was doing the whole time and with each part of my body. I left floating. He is beyond professional, yet you feel a sense of comfort with him. It was a very relaxing and caring atmosphere. He also maintains the utmost cleanliness and sanitation procedures.

I just had my first ever deep tissue massage with Christopher. I came in with fears and hesitations but he was so caring and listened so well to my long history of chronic pain in head (occipital neuralgia) lower back and more recently after an injury, in my butt. I'd tried so many things for relief, but all were either ineffective or temporary. I was desperate.
Christopher's method is deep, slow and probing, but not kneading and digging, which is what I had feared about deep massage. When it got too much, I'd tell him and he'd just hold steady at the spot and ask me to
