Hi! I’m Krisstal, a licensed massage therapist and owner of Arlington Therapeutic Massage and Energy Healing, offering highly individualized massage therapy sessions and energy work to provide relief from chronic pain. I work on everyday people, from office workers to athletes to those just looking to relax in the Northern Virginia area. I specialize in clinical massage treating chronic muscular issues that perpetuate pain, such as neck and shoulder stiffness, IT band syndrome, and lower back pain. I also enjoy working with clients to reduce stress and anxiety, and help restore calm after a frenetic day.
I became increasingly interested massage therapy as a career after experiencing the many benefits of outcome-based bodywork in treating my own postural and muscular pain issues from sitting long hours at a desk and injuries sustained from my (very dedicated) dancing hobby! Since then, I've completed an intensive massage therapy program with an integrative approach to science and bodywork, and a strong foundation in anatomy, physiology, and massage techniques at the Northern Virginia School of Therapeutic Massage and continued education studies in Neuromuscular Cupping therapy, Craniosacral Therapy, IASTM (instrument-assisted soft tissue manipulation) via Graston Technique, and more! I have 15 years of combined therapeutic bodywork and energy healing experience.
Via my own life experiences, I realized the value of therapeutic touch is tantamount to medical care, serves as complementary adjunct therapy, and is the perfect way for me to serve others on a more personal level and make a difference in their lives. I'm an enthusiast of alternative care modalities, and my background offers a unique perspective to provide you with the best massage therapy experience and outcomes to relieve chronic pain and anxiety. I look forward to working with you.
