Byler Bodywork

Massage Therapist

Christa is a bodywork enthusiast due to involvement with multiple styles of dance, sports, yoga, jobs that have been physically demanding, and from injuries. She started her pursuit in massage therapy in 2010 thinking that she would use her education as a building block to pursue physical therapy. However, Christa has found refuge in bodywork and has decided that this is where her community needs her most. Her clientele ranges from professional dancers, athletes, chronic mental and physical illness individuals, people with sedentary jobs, service workers, and those with unfortunate whiplash and or impact injuries. Christa is skilled with lessening or taking away people's migraines, TMJ pain, whiplash, Bell's Palsey, gaining back full range of motion in areas such as the neck, rotator cuff, hips and back. She uses a variety of techniques including structural integration and biophysics; Paul St. John's Neurosomatic therapy: postural and gait analysis, cranial/sacral decompression and rebalancing; myofascial release and unwinding; organ manipulations, and Tui'na: a popular form of using eastern acupunture points in a vigorating sports massage sort of way and with PNF (proprioception neuromuscular facilatation) stretching patterns. Christa is eager to alleviate your body issues and to deduct where they are coming from. "Prevention planning and maintaining a balanced structure is most important for a better quality of living."​ Read more

    I had such a great experience here. She was super friendly to work with and took a last minute appointment when I was in need. She helped me understand that we needed to work on the foundation of my body to help it be in alignment, that you can't just massage away the aches and pains! Will definitely go back!

    Christa's makes makes it possible for me to keep up with the demands of running a mission based startup, and staying healthy. Her traveling service allows me to relax at my home and save me time in my busy schedule. She is much more than a massage therapist. Highly educated and always seeking to learn more, she was the first body worker to figure out that my granite hard shoulders and upper back were caused from collapsed pectorals due to bending over a keyboard all day. She is the most effective body work professional I've encountered.

    I haven't had a professional massage in 11 years, way overdue. I don't just trust anyone to work on my body, so finding Christa was really exciting. Her space is very calming, and she goes the extra mile to make you feel comfortable. Christa pinpoints where your body needs work, gives options to make you comfortable, and listens. I carry tension and stress in my neck and shoulders as well as have low back pain, and after my session, I can already feel improvement.

    Christa was very intuitive and knowledgeable. She identified the root cause(s) of my issue(s), and began to work on areas of stress I never knew existed! Her approach was very effective from a total body/mind perspective.
    Thank you!!

    I have been seeing Christa ever since my first car accident. She is very knowledgeable and skilled, I won't go to anyone else! She not only helps you get better now, but provides advise and methods to keep yourself healthy.
    Thank you Christa!
