Christian graduated from Truckee Meadows Community College’s Massage Therapy Program in May 2026. He is eager and ready to pursue his passion for helping people. His goal is to help his clients move and feel better. Ideally with less pain, utilizing therapeutic bodywork.
His journey into massage therapy began while attending physical therapy school in Oklahoma. He was captivated by the hands-on aspects of rehabilitation to promote the body’s natural ability to heal itself. He found himself drawn more to treating the body with skilled touch, than to exercise prescription. While in school, he worked at an assisted stretching facility under PT John Carey. This is where he gained extensive experience in assisted PNF stretching, instrument-assisted soft tissue techniques, pin-and-stretch therapy, percussion therapy, and other forms of manual therapy. It was there he was encouraged to pursue massage therapy. It allowed him to focus entirely on the hands-on treatment he enjoyed most. That advice led him back to Reno to enroll in TMCC’s Massage Therapy Program.
With five years of experience in assisted stretching and manual therapy, he brings a movement-focused approach to every session.
His favorite modality is Thai massage. It combines stretching, muscle energy techniques, rhythmic compressions, acupressure, yoga-inspired movements, and traditional sen line work, into one flowing treatment. He appreciates that Thai massage can be deeply relaxing, while also addressing specific dysfunction. It also helps in improving mobility, and helping the body function as an integrated whole.
As he continues his career, Christian plans to expand his education in medical and orthopedic massage. Specifically to better understand the treatment of specific conditions and injuries. His goal is to help clients reduce pain, restore function, and return to the activities they enjoy with greater confidence and freedom of movement.
Whether you’re recovering from an acute injury, dealing with chronic tension, or simply looking to improve how your body feels and functions, he wants every client to leave feeling relaxed, restored, and unrestricted.
Christian will be available on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays!
