Question:What type of massages do you give?

 

Answer: Clients experience collaborative, transformative massage sessions for either treatment, relaxation, or both.

​

Question: I just want to drift off to sleep when receiving a massage.Can I get that here? Answer:

 

Answer: Yes, but if you found me, then you are ready for an expansive experience where you experience an out-of-this-world massage that transforms your emotional, physical, and transformative healing. To do so, you need to work together with your massage therapist. Stay conscious and focused throughout the collaborative, restorative process. I will guide you through the process of aligning muscle fibers and realigning the communication along the connective tissue highways in your myofascial tissues, remove energy blocks, and help align your muscles' direction and function. It is crucial that clients breathe in their favorite color and allow my hands to be your personal paintbrush as you reclaim your body as a masterpiece. Not a body with pain and limitations. Together, we will paint your body like painting your unique sculpture. Yes, you are the sculpture. Your breath is the pigment that paints your body.

 

Turning pain and frustration into new pathways for health. Using creative visualization, you will change red-colored muscles and white-colored tendons to your favorite color. The significance of breathing in your favorite color is that you have an affinity for that specific color. You can change that color at any moment. It is suggested that you use only one color at a time. Using your favorite color in deep tissue or emotional release work very much helps in your massage process. I cannot do great work without your full participation. That special color helps focus your mind on areas of discomfort because you already have a positive association with it. You will bring positive change to rebuild a ‘healthier-you’ with a positive affirmation without psychoanalyzing it. If you can’t breathe past it, if the pain is too much, it is no longer a sensation; now it is pain. I will lighten up or use a different modality. Your breathwork gives your mind something else to focus on instead of the massage's intensity.

 

When people are scared, they hold their breath. The more you breathe into the experience, the more you can take the emotion of fear and turn it into excitement. Breathing builds trust in the body. Everyone’s body needs to feel and know it is a trusted environment. Your mind is the ‘father'; that comforts the child, your physical body. The heart is the 'mother'; if during your healing session we release emotional blocks, the guided imagery of your favorite color might use technologies taught in the book: The HeartMath Solution, by Doc Childre and Howard Martin. Using the heart to perceive pain and unlock the muscles and tissues where those memories are stored. (Please keep an open mind. A beginner's mind. Trust in the process.) Understanding that your body is like a 3-year-old child. At two years old, the body knows how to say “NO!” as a boundary. At 3 years old, it learned that saying “Yes” is an equally strong boundary as saying “No.” Breathing through your discomfort builds the trust of a “yes” for your body consciousness.

 

When the client can no longer breathe through the experience, it is time to lighten up, try a different modality, or stop and pick it back up later. Some treatments may need a relaxation massage or two to help release the difficulties from stuck memories. The experience might be jarring or hard to process, and gentle massages can support faster healing. It is best to pause during deep work or connective fascia realignments. Like your heart beating, it has expansion, then contraction. All is true in the work we do together. Integration and openness are just as powerful as structural realignment in the holistic healing practice.

 

Your transformational massages with Christopher can unwind trauma in the body. Sometimes pain that doesn't leave the body, even after seeing several doctors or healers, comes from being stored in the body. Tissues can store it; emotions or past stories may become trapped in your muscles or connective tissues. When that occurs, it prevents the muscles from working, and other muscle groups try to assist; then the entire system can’t function as it needs to. The more my clients breathe into their body’s transformation and allow things to unfold, while staying open to it happening, the more their breath activates the parasympathetic nervous system (PNS). ‘Rest and relaxation’ overcomes the fear that makes them clench their fists or lock their joints in resistance to protect their body from the unknown. Stay open and trust the therapist as you reclaim your body with breath.

 Question: How do you know  what you are doing with your energy in relationship to other people's energy?  How do you keep from taking on their stuff and know how to navigate creating healing for others?  How can you pinpoint the exact place where a person's pain is and then release it without massaging people?

 

Answer:  The  answer is best said with a question.   How do you know what an orange is?  Christopher feels it and knows what a healthy body feels like.   He knows its proportions, skeletal alignments, and how each muscle group is supposed to function and work.  There is a feeling of tightness and looseness in the muscle groups.  Christopher can feel emotional blocks.  After some investigation, Christopher can see whether the limitations came from current issues and conditions, or from further back.  Is it this lifetime or a different lifetime?  Where is the limitation? Find out why, or what needs to change to make it right.  Ultimately, the client decides whether what Christopher intuitively sees is true for them.  Reality is choice. The choice is yours: to move through it or not.  Let it go, or not.  Hold onto it or let your body let it go so your body today has renewed freedom for tomorrow.

​

An orange smells citrusy; its skin has holes in it.  It has a certain texture.  It has an oily, wet surface when you squeeze it.  If it is damaged, the skin caves in and it smells different. The same is true with the energy that surrounds the human body and how the tissues of the muscles and bones feel to the touch.  Limited range of motion tells a story, and muscles need adjusting to improve access to the body.

Integration of emotional and trauma relief to transform it.  He can pull pain out of your body without touching you and apply Reiki to fill the hole made by the removal of pain or judgment.  Judgments are not bad in themselves; what matters most is the definitions we give them and why they keep coming back.  During our session, if you let go of the agreement and choose again, it works.  Most of the time, when he apply Reiki and your wise self chooses its destination within your body, it changes the dynamic. 

 

Not every client will experience energy work or only Swedish massage.  It depends on the needs of each visit.  We can't guarantee which modalities we'll use.  If the client breathes into the experience, every visit is out of this world!

Are you sore from Packing and planning your road trip here?  Did you sleep wrong and crank your neck?  Do you want to feel good and take it all in with freedom in your body-mind integration?  Christopher can get you there. … a full immersion of deep tissue, reading your body and knowing how each muscle is communicating with the other muscles and its connective tissues within. He combines profound energy work with full-body awareness to unwind trauma, realign muscle fibers, and bring balance and ease as you have never experienced before.  Listening to your  inflammation stages he doesn’t let you get too close to bring up upset unless you want to feel tender the next day.  It depends on what you're looking for.

 Is your energy work light and Gentle

 

Question: Is your Energy-work light  and gentle?

​​

Answer:   Tatsu Energy-work is not light. It can be very strong and a little intimidating. If this is true we can stop the process and choose something else from my tool belt of healing modalities. Your willingness to breathe into your tissues allows for more direct allowing of energy to flow and puts you in control of your healing.
