What led you to your chosen field?

 “I felt drawn to being a healer. As a friendly easy going guy, I always liked working with people, but most of all helping people. Before massage I studied literature, writing, psychology, philosophy and history. I worked different kinds of jobs, from restaurants to computers, but there's something special to be said for a job where people are happy to see you and happier when they leave. I like being able to meet different people and hold a safe space for them. Then also being able to combine the more medical and focused deep tissue work with the more subtle energetic spiritual side of things.”

Krista has been a licensed Massage Therapist for seven years. Krista has additional training in Medical Massage, Myofascial Cupping, Headache and Trigger Point Therapy along with experience working with seniors and people with physical disabilities.

What led you to your chosen field?

“There has been a combination of things that helped lead me to massage therapy as a career such as working in healthcare facilities that encouraged a holistic approach towards the goal of reducing medications & behaviors (more medication=more side effects=increased negative behaviors). Massage Therapy (they had an LMT on staff) and aromatherapy were commonly used and I was in awe of how transformative it was for many patients. Then, a shoulder injury led me to receiving physical therapy treatment. I was fascinated with my PT doctor's knowledge and passion for the body and how they "just knew" which muscles needed to be rehabilitated based on my presenting symptoms. It was like magic to me.

Completing physical therapy then led me down a road of weight-training and nutrition. I was obsessed with bodybuilding and muscle anatomy and the use of proper form and body mechanics. While deeply exploring whether I should pursue a career as a Certified Personal Trainer, I circled back to the versatility of Massage Therapy and how helpful it was for "Every Body" and everybody.”

What led you to your chosen field?

“Mine started when I was young, always rubbing shoulders and trying to help everyone relax. During that time I had no idea massage was a genuine career choice, I just liked helping people feel good. My grandma is the one who encouraged me the most and told me that I should attend Finger Lakes School of Massage. She is the one, I think, who was my first real client. When I was around after her chemo treatments I would rub her head and her feet. I didn't realize at the time how much relief I was able to offer in the smallest of gestures. Looking back it was my first real taste of healing touch for someone that wasn't myself.”

Marissa has been licensed in Massage Therapy for 7 years

What led you to your chosen field?

My path to becoming a massage therapist started unexpectedly, following a boulder hiking accident at 17. After the accident, I had to re-teach myself how to walk and heal my body naturally, turning away from pain medication. I sought mindful, natural ways to heal both my physical and emotional wounds, and it was through this experience that I discovered the deep power of alternative healing. I was magnetically drawn to massage therapy, knowing that it would be the perfect way to help others in the way I had helped myself.

After graduating from the Finger Lakes School of Massage in 2018, my commitment to healing only deepened. I went on to become a certified yoga teacher at Yoga Farm and a hypnotherapist through HMI. These certifications helped me understand the intricate connection between the body, mind, subconscious, and nervous system—essential elements I weave into my approach with each client.

Through my work, I integrate Swedish, Shiatsu, and energy work in a way that’s intuitive to each individual, creating a space for you to truly let go. My aim is to help you feel more than just physically relaxed—I want you to feel seen, held, and deeply connected to your body. As you release tension and restore balance, I want you to walk away feeling lighter, more at peace with yourself, and aligned with your own energy.
