I’ve spent my life exploring different methods & practices for easing muscular tension, decreasing pain, mobilizing joints, calming the nervous system, increasing somatic awareness, quieting the mind and cultivating inner listening. These things have always seemed essential to me for inner freedom, focus, clarity, direction, peace & wholeness – in order to be a more effective contributor in the world & to be of use. This will continue to be an ongoing journey of discovery! I enjoy sharing my learning with others, and learning from the experiences of others.
To this end, I’ve been regularly/daily practicing yoga since 2004 & teaching yoga since 2007. My original certification was with the International Sports Medicine Association (ISMA) in 2009. I did further study with Jeff Tiebot at the Blue Ridge School of Massage and Yoga, & completed a 220 hour certification in Ashtanga Vinyasa Krama Yoga in 2012. Since then, I’ve studied and learned from a host of teachers & disciplines and enjoy exploring those that make home/self practice most accessible to people.
I’m also a Licensed Massage Therapist in the state of Indiana and nationally Board Certified in Therapeutic Massage & Bodywork (by NCBTMB). I graduated from the Blue Ridge School of Massage and Yoga's Medical Massage program in 2011. I completed Yomassage® Therapist certification in Indianapolis, IN in 2019, & maintain ongoing continuing education on a variety of topics.
Prior to my explorations of massage and yoga, I obtained a B.A. from Eastern Mennonite University (2003) in Harrisonburg, VA -- with majors in Journalism and in Justice, Peace & Conflict Studies, as well as a minor in Bible & Religion.

"I’m privileged to know Kristine from previous massage sessions but this was the first time in her new studio space. She is very professional and eager to tailor her massage and yoga expertise to my particular needs. The space itself is clean and bright creating a calm atmosphere. I left feeling rejuvenated and I will make this self-care experience a regular part of my routine."

"Kristine is the real deal. Attentive, sensitive, intuitive. She was fully present with my needs during the wonderful massage she gave me; easily finding my tight spots. We talked and she helped me consider all the possible causes of the headaches that were plaguing me. She even loaned me a book on yoga for headaches that has helped me. "

"I've had the privilege to get massages with Kristine for the last couple years. Two things: 1. She's amazing and knows what she is doing! 2. She has never steered me wrong when I've had an issue with my aches and pains! Love her and WILL be returning! "

"Kristine’s massage was just what I needed! Her technique is slow and steady, which gave me the sensation of something melting down my body. She is very knowledgeable, personable and happy to share. At the end, she left me with a couple of good ideas to strengthen and stretch my problem areas that I plan to add to my daily yoga practice. Thank you, Kristine!"
