Through my Education & Training;
an Associates Degree In Science: Holistic Massage Therapy,

I've come to acknowledge and understand the importance of using various modalities to maintain physical health and wellbeing, through my Associates Degree in Science: Holistic Massage Therapy.

As your neighborhood Holistic Massage Practitioner, I'm here to help guide you in your approach to Holistic Alternative Therapies, via Massage Therapy!

Ideas and concepts such as the ones mentioned below, along with many other practices, are modalities aimed to restore the body to a natural state of balance, and enhance the connection between the mind & body to promote a way to balance, from within, and throughout life. .

Some holistic practices that were part of my education are decades old, while others are centuries old and still in practice today! Such modalities I was initiated into understanding (but am not a practitioner of) include Ayurveda, Traditional Chinese Medicine, Natural Herbal Preparations, QiGong, Yoga, Homeopathic Remedies using Cell Salts and Tap Therapy, and as my education evolves, so too do the acquired knowledge of, and discovery of more healing modalities!

As a massage therapist, My Goal Is To Assist my clients in their personal healing journey, to help loosen muscles or soft tissue restrictions, and promote relaxation to attempt to improve sleep, range of motion or reduce pain, as well as assisting to realign soft tissue fibers to promote function, flow and cohesiveness of all systems of the body!

"Your journey to health & well-being with self-care is unique to you. If increasing your range of motion, improving balance and reducing restrictions all while relaxing sounds great to you, then consider a massage to assist in getting you back into balance!"

"Let the energies of massage take you to a mental space where you can embrace the calm and encourage a relaxing state of being."

Holistic Massage incorporates the whole body.

Health is having good physical condition.

Wellness is the state of being in good health.

Approaching your wellness plan with massage therapy is a great modality to achieve overall wellbeing!

Applying Massage Therapy in a Holistic manner is to balance soft tissue, bilaterally (equally), by assessing your current posture, gait and alignment, then assessing and comparing soft tissue restrictions and deviations... coupling that with an understanding of Massage Therapy Techniques, Anatomy, Physiology and Kinesiology, my goal is to help promote each clients health and wellness in a very personal and relative way, while assisting to promote a better quality of life, reduce stress, depression symptoms, and injury-related recovery time in ALL my clients! (See Benefits of Massage)

My name is Kristen Allen, I started Massage Therapy in 2017, and from my very first class, Oriental Theory, I started to fall in love with the concepts of balance, particularly the soft tissue of the body. So much so, that I would practice on myself, my pets and anyone I could get my hands on!

More traditional Chinese medicine concepts of Yoga, Breathwork, Chi & Meridians caught my attention, and the massage practicum as it related to balance began to open new doors and new insights.

The best part of this journey have been the feeling of connection and community with those I service, as I'm helping people transmute from one physical state to another physical state that is geared toward better balance, less pain, and more movement for a lot of systems of the body.

Let's work together and attain your massage goals!

My Personal Self- Massage Journey:

As a Mother of 4, you can imagine the trauma my body has endured.

I worked diligently honing in on my feelings of varying applications, pressures, and releases. With the knowledge of muscle attachment sites, and their kinesthetic capacity, I worked overtime at balancing my hips, shoulders, and abdominals to break up the scarring and adhesions from my abdominal surgeries. The effects for me were astounding.

I could breathe better after Trigger Point Releases in my ribcage! My serratus anterior, and intercostal muscles were restricting my breathing capacity, but not for long! I had a chest tube procedure in 2013, so you can imagine there was alot of work to be done after 7 years unmanaged!

With regular movement through massage, my back aches became less frequent and aggressive. I started balancing my hips with lighter work, then deeper work into the deeper hip flexors, internal rotators and external rotators of the hip with massage techniques, yoga, and breath work!

My experience allowed me to re-align my musculature back to having a full range of motion in my shoulders, neck, and lower back, which in turn alleviated my back pain by rebalancing and stabilizing the major abdominal muscles after multiple surgeries associated with my personal experiences with 2 C-section childbirths in 2018 & 2021, and a chest tube procedure from 2013! Let's just say I had a lot of catching up to do when I realized the waterfall of issues I just ignored for so long!

I repositioned my gait in stance position to be more parallel and balanced my hip stabilizers with Touch Therapy Techniques, breath work, yoga, strength training, and stretching.

I boosted my immune system with consistent manual lymphatic drainage techniques to keep my neck, shoulders, and upper back loose from carrying twins around, amidst the beginning of the covid-19 pandemic! And let's not forget the self-massage on the legs! Whole muscle belly movement, to release holds in varying positions with breath work and stretching did WONDERS for my aching lower back!

All of my issues may not be your issues, and finding the right way to work the muscles will be unique to your body, as everyone moves differently, with different stresses, motions, and gaits. Movement from within, in conjunction with movement from outside the body is imperative to a good massage if its goal is to restore function and mobility.

Awareness of systems within the body plays a huge role in knowing where and where not to avoid manual pressure application, and I would love to be a positive resource for you to trust in knowing that your wellness is just as important to me as it is to you!

My goal in our sessions is to assist you in getting your muscles, circulation, and the overall function, movement, and pliability of your muscles back into their natural, balanced state with general massage practices and some mild breathing techniques.

My Practice is due to my practice.

With time on my hands and to continue on my journey of massage during the COVID-19 pandemic, I used a few case studies throughout the lockdown to take time and really feel the applications I was taught. What do I mean by that?

I wanted to understand the feeling of applications, techniques and releases, as well as trigger points, knots, and all the other terminology involved with massage. I wanted a full understanding of feeling from the inside AND out when modalities were applied. I did this by honing in on my 8th sense; Interoception. I did this with the help of my mentor (the Late) Sarah Y Cunningham, LMT, and OMT.

I'd love to share this understanding with you so that you may better develop a relationship with yourself, geared towards better self-care massage practices that you can use whenever you are dealing with tension, pain or soreness! By tuning into your internal awareness, you'll gain a deeper connection with your body, allowing you to intuitively respond to its needs and optimize your self-care routine.

Awareness

Insight

Application

Become aware of your body, its systems, and the various aspects of anatomy, and feel with your hands, while also feeling the response of your muscles, with your muscles. This process is to gain awareness of your personal touch from your fingertips to the muscle being affected. A process known as Interoception.
Gain insight into what your body is telling you (pain, tension, headaches etc) and where it may be stemming from, to deduce potential causes and remedies.
Apply light movement with stretches and rhythmic breathing.

Massage, Body Mechanics, Holistic Self-Care Practices, and Awareness of Alternative Health Modalities are the foundation of my practice. I was educated to have an understanding of the whole self regarding how the body works relative to the various systems of the body, up to and including the various layers of soft tissue, organs & the anatomy of a cell. The holistic approach to Massage Therapy is assessing the whole self in congruence with all the basic anatomy, daily activities, signs, symptoms, and other qualities of the body during a Massage Session and using that information to reduce problem areas of discomfort or pain to enhance relaxation.
