Testimonials

“My name is Gary K. I am 67 years old and have been going to massage therapists for the past forty-five years. I consider myself an authority on what constitutes a quality massage. Without a doubt, Christie’s talent, wonderful personality, and commitment to excellence, especially in the area of deep tissue work, makes her my therapist of choice. I strongly recommend that she be your therapist of choice also.”

” I just had to write to you to tell you how much you have reduced my muscle and joint pain and given me overall relief from the everyday stress of life. As you know I own a building company and have to deal with stress that occurs there each day. I have tried several other therapists in the area but none have come close to the total understanding you have of how the body works and what to do when it does not function correctly. I can directly attribute my reduced and eliminated muscle pain and stress to the incredible total body work you have done on me. I have had severe shoulder pain for several years now from an old sports injury and you have totally cleared it up. It is obvious that your work with a chiropractor has given you a depth of understanding of how the body works that I have not found in any other therapist.Thanks for the great work you do on me and count me as an enthusiastic repeat client.”

“Christie is by far the best massage therapist in the Triangle. I’ve been getting massages regularly since 2000 and I’ve had my share of good and bad massage, mostly bad. I was so happy to find Christie right in my backyard. She is hands down the best massage therapist I’ve ever known. She understands the human body, has a natural talent for massage, and has a genuine concern for the wellbeing of her clients.”

“As an Integrative Medicine physician, I know the many benefits of therapeutic massage, and I also know that the quality of the practitioner can make all the difference. One of my patients with a difficult muscular condition told me how much he benefited from Christie’s massage, so I decided to try it myself. I have had many massages by different people, but I must say that Christie’s massage is one of the most genuinely therapeutic that I have ever had. Muscular limitations and pain resolved substantially after her deep tissue and myofascial release treatments, so it is much more than just relaxation. I do a lot of bike riding and weight lifting, so I notice a significant improvement in my recovery times when I get Christie’s massage. Athera Soul offers such great value, that it makes it affordable for me to go frequently, which really increases the therapeutic benefit. I highly recommend getting one of their packages, as I notice more benefit when I go frequently.”

“Before I started seeing Christie, I was in constant pain all day every day. My muscles didn’t want to work properly. I saw specialist after specialist and still no answers. Then I found an awesome doctor who wanted me to get a deep tissue massage. I had gotten massages before and never saw much benefit. I decided to try it again. By the grace of God, I ended up getting a massage with Christie. I knew after the first massage with Christie that she was no ordinary massage therapist. Her attention to detail and willingness to really try and find out why my muscles were feeling so bad makes her by far the best massage therapist in the area. I’ve been getting a deep tissue massage from Christie once a week for almost 2 years now. She has helped restore my physical body and quality of life. Thank you, Christie.”

A few weeks ago, I came to you for my regular massage…..just a little massage but then you found some tight muscles and what felt like knots in my left hip. I didn’t really know there was a problem…I just thought my hip was hurting a little because I was getting older and that I should expect to have aches and pains from now on.

You worked and worked on my hip and cleaned up that mess. The tissue and muscles in that hip were knotted-up and tight. In other words, my hip was in terrrible shape but you fixed it. You altered my massage that day to diligently and very gently work on that spot that was deep in my hip. I do believe if you hadn’t found that spot and worked on it so thoroughly, I would have had to go to the doctor. It seems like I was one day away from a doctor visit but you ‘nailed it’ and the pain was gone in about 15 minutes. You warned me that my hip would probably be bruised and maybe be more painful the next day, but that was not a case at all. Actually, when I listened to you and iced my hip (15 mins. on and 15 mins. off)....for at least 2 hours that night, the pain was gone. I hardly even bruised. And one week later, I was still in great shape. I never had to take a pain pill or anything else. WOW – You are amazing! How many times had I noticed my discomfort and thought I was just getting older…but you stopped the pain in my hip….and it HAS NOT COME BACK.

Thank you for your professional skill and really listening to me when I said my hip was hurting a little bit. You took care of me and I walk much smoother now. I know if my hip ever starts hurting again, I’ll be knocking on your door to fix it immediately. Until that time comes, I’ll continue seeing you at least twice a month for routine muscle and deep tissue massages.

Thanks for being such a caring professional.

I just want to say THANK YOU!!!! 2 days after my initial massage my workout bench weight went from 95 lbs with pain to 135 with NO PAIN at all. I was able to do my first 8 reps incredibly easy. Thank you so much for helping me.

I retired four years ago and began my new “career” working out at the gym and playing as much golf and tennis as my body would allow. This high level of activity resulted in chronic piriformis and rotator pain. I went to physical therapy and was worked on and given exercises to do.. but my pain remained. It wasn’t until I began regular massages with Christie that I am now pain free. Her knowledge of kinesiology and uncanny ability to find the source of my pain allows me to continue the level of activity that I enjoy. She is simply the best masseuse I have ever had work on me. Thank you Christie!
