Have we met before? Well, today is a good time for me to present myself. Hi! My name is Christine and I am so humbled that you've found me here. I am the founder, licensed Massage Therapist at Magnolia Massage & Wellness in Vernon Hills, IL.

I have been a licensed and practicing massage therapist since 2010. Dedicated to helping others find comfort in their bodies, I have pursued a multidisciplinary practice as a licensed massage therapist, certified yoga teacher and certified health coach with the goal of providing support, resources and accountability for a holistic approach to optimal wellness.
​
I love to work with the whole family offering various techniques ranging from prenatal massage, relaxation, therapeutic, light touch and energy based work including reiki. I provide modalities that can be offered as stand alone services or integrated into blended sessions including manual lymphatic drainage, cranialsacral therapy, oncology massage myofascial release, neuromuscular therapy and trigger point therapy. As a certified yoga instructor, I enjoy taking a restorative mind body approach to wellness including meditation, breathe awareness, stretch and massage which makes each healing session unique and individualized.
I am a certified Nurturing the Mother prenatal, postpartum and fertility massage therapist with a passion for taking care of new moms. As a mom of three boys, I recognized the need for holistic support to nurture the mother before, during and after pregnancy so I became that person. As someone who has experienced miscarriage, I still remember the pregnancy I lost with just as much love in my heart. I have additionally specialized in women’s health by advancing certification with the Mercier Therapy gynovisceral manipulation techniques and courses with the Integrative Women's Health Institute to treat conditions which may include pelvic pain, endometriosis, infertility, abdominal scar tissue including c-section recovery.
​
When I am not practicing massage I enjoy spending time at home with my family taking care of my three energetic boys, practicing yoga and enjoying long nature walks.
​
My focus is on balancing systems as opposed to "chasing pain". I focus on the whole person by uniquely pairing massage techniques with lifestyle coaching designed to support you with accountability, resources and support so that you feel empowered to make sustainable, positive changes in your life.
​
My unique practice supports others to become the best version of themselves, who are DONE being tired and stressed out by the never-ending juggling act of everyday tasks. Instead, we recognize the need for balanced self-care. I've learned through personal experience that feeling good in your body can be as simple as a choice. It begins by asking ourselves this question;
​
"What do I need to do to
feel the way I want to feel?"
​
​
Everybody has a story of what brought you here today and that's incredibly important. Listen to that Why, because this process is all about you and your personal journey to reset your health. I invite you to take a few thoughtful moments with a pen and paper to write down your intentions and reasons for taking your health to the next level.
​
I humbly offer my time to talk with you, to learn about your story, where you are in your life and what your health and lifestyle goals look like. I sincerely hope that you find value in my services and get in touch with me so that we can determine how I might best support you in making those goals a reality whether that be with massage, wellness coaching or both. Please feel welcome to contact me by email or go ahead and schedule something online today.
