finding balance through mind, body & spirit

Welcome to Breath & Bone Reiki & Massage!

Breath & Bone Reiki & Massage is a space for each client’s healing journey to unfold over and over again as we work together to peel back the layers, working our way deeper into each aspect we are open to healing. Reiki, energetic bodywork and traditional Hawaiian style lomilomi massage are wonderful options for creating wellbeing from within, tapping into our innate nature, trusting the process and being open to receiving the stories that are revealed each time. These holistic modalities combine body, mind and spirit as integrated aspects of the whole being so we work as deeply as we can each time.

About healing:

How’s this all work? That is a common question and if you consider that everything is energy and energy travels unconstrained by physical space or time and just because you can’t see it, doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. Reiki is energy, as are the lines in our bodies that I tap into to create shifts to move stagnant energy. It’s like sweeping water… we sweep water and it starts to find a new path, yet sometimes some of that water finds its way back to its previous spot, so we continue sweeping. Eventually more of the water is removed from the original spot and there is less and less there, until you realize that you’ve swept all the water away. This is synonymous to healing. As we continue sessions, more and more of that energy moves and we start to realize that we are building healthier pathways in our being. This is a beautiful space where we feel the work we are doing and we start to see the results.

But before we begin, I invite you to ask yourself if you are truly ready to heal? This is a tough question because people like being comfortable, even if it is comfort that stems from a place that might not be so healthy. Being able to say you’re ready to heal is the first step.

About me:

My name is Christina and I officially opened my practice to the public in 2023 after having only private clients for a while. I am a Reiki Master in the Japanese style of Usui Shiki Ryoho system of reiki healing and I share my love of this practice with you as I firmly believe our "universal life energy” is the highest way of creating a healing container for ourselves and others.

Reiki has been a part of my personal life for over 20 years. I came to reiki when I was looking for deeper healing and I even would have just settled for just the idea that it was possible to not feel awful all the time. These were things I was not able to attain within conventional practices and was getting tired of not being able to feel well or have any sense of normalcy in my life due to illness, which I had accepted as my “norm”. Reiki worked for me as a way to acknowledge my own relationship to myself and start learning ways to interact more mindfully with my own illness and ultimately, healing journey. Shifting from conventional to unconventional, using reiki as a tool for transformation and incorporating other holistic methods, I began to heal. I was fully enthralled with the idea that this was something I could learn for myself and offer to others who needed healing. Reiki has deepened my relationship to myself and has helped inform many of my decisions for self care.

Some of the ways I translate my own experiences into my practice are by incorporating work not only in regards to balancing the energies and meridians within the body, but inviting you to explore healing through other methods that deeply compliment the reiki work. Some of these modalities include, but are not limited to: biomat therapy which uses far reach infrared and negative ion therapy to go deeper into the body to help detox as well as support changes that take place (this is an optional part of each session). I also use stones, crystal tuning forks, sulphur therapy, sacred sprays, spirit and animal guides as well as other holistic healing methods, making each session truly unique. I allow my intuitive nature with this practice to guide me, offering complimentary therapies unique to each session, creating an environment for your highest wellbeing.

I am also and RYT500 yoga teacher and I am certified in the Hawaiian styles of Heartworks and Temple Style Lomilomi massage. I use yoga as a way to help clients move, breathe, restore and let go while encouraging the mind to get behind our thoughts, creating a space for the experience of be-ing. I use massage as a way to allow the body and mind to release trauma, while improving circulation and releasing toxins from the body (just to name a few). Lomilomi massage is deeply healing and meditative bodywork while using hands, forearms and elbows to massage the body with ayurvedic oils and other therapeutic blends. We work uniquely in each session so the practitioner and receiver connect on a level to bring alignment to the receiver’s highest healing potential.

Combo options:

Yoga, reiki and massage are wonderful compliments to each other. I offer 2 hour sessions incorporating different combinations of each, allowing for a really amazing opportunity for self care! Yoga sessions are tailored to your specific requests and can be taught in the styles of yin, yin-yasa, restorative, nidra, vinyasa, Ashtanga or a mix of meditation and yoga. It’s your practice, so it’s your choice! Then you can hop on the table and experience either a reiki session or a lomilomi massage afterwards. These combo options are by far my most booked offerings, and there’s' a reason why! Come see for yourself!

To sum it all up:
