Krysta M., NHT, CHD, LMT

Hello! Before beginning massage full time, I studied at Grand Valley State University and received my Bachelors of Science in History with a Biology Minor and went on to graduate from the European Massage Therapy School in Chicago. I am a Nationally Certified and Licensed Massage Therapist in the State of Michigan who has been practicing since 2009. I attended school at the Naturopathic Institute of Therapies and Education. I received my Certified Holistic Doula and Natural Health Therapist training, and where I am studying to become a Naturopathic Doctor.

I am passionate about educating and empowering my clients to take control of their own health and well-being. I have a mindful nurturing touch and a relaxed professional presence that allows me to work well with a variety of clients. I have experience working in hospital settings with clients who were recovering from a variety of injuries, chronic pain, surgery, and those focused on holistic healing.

My desire to learn extends beyond different healing modalities into my personal life where I am an avid reader of fiction, a Yoga Trapeze Instructor, Breath Coach, active in Pilates, Acro-yoga, Aerials, and outdoors activities such as hiking, camping, and snowboarding.

I am actively working towards advanced certifications/training in John F. Barnes' Myofascial Release Approach (MFR I, II, Unwinding, Advanced Unwinding, Rebounding, Fascial-Pelvis, Cervical-Thoracic, Pediatrics, Women's Health, Mobilization, and Fascial Cranium), Ashiatsu (Deepfeet I, II, Ashi-Thai, and Sarga Silks), Upledger CranioSacral Therapy(CST I & II, SER I & II, Conception Pregnancy & Birthing, Cranial Nerves, and Unwinding Meridians I, II, & III), and Visceral Manipulation (VM I, II, III, IV).

As a Licensed Massage Therapist I am skilled in Swedish, Therapeutic Deep Tissue, Trigger Point Therapy, Sports Massage, and Prenatal Massage. Since becoming licensed I have obtained further certification in Pediatric Massage, Specialized Oncology Training, Pre/Post Surgical Massage, Reiki Level I & II, Cupping, as well as the advanced certifications/training previously mentioned.
