Kristina graduated from Irene’s Myomassology Institute in 2015 and began working at Breckels immediately. She always knew that she wanted to work in healthcare and felt that massage was the perfect way for her to help people! Her favorite part about being a massage therapist is seeing the positive changes in clients’ minds, bodies, and spirits and knowing she was a part of making those changes happen. Kristina used to rely on deep pressure to help her clients achieve their goals. However, through experience, she has discovered that techniques such as using light-pressured neuromuscular therapy, strain/counter strain, focused myofascial release, and active resistive stretching are more effective for her client’s therapeutic needs.

Kristina offers Swedish, Neuromuscular/Trigger Point Therapy, Myofascial Release, Oncology Massage, Sports, Stretching, Prenatal, Geriatric, and Lymphatic Drainage. She has experience in relieving discomfort associated with low back pain, wrist and arm pain (Carpal Tunnel or Thoracic Outlet Syndrome), various types of headaches and migraines, Plantar Fascitis, and general lower extremity pain.
