Let's address the root cause of your pain
A gentle integration of myofascial, craniosacral, and massage therapy to release tension and promote full-body relaxation.
Myofascial Therapy
Focusing on the release of the fascia that is located over every muscle in the body, causing tension build up when twisted or tightened. Through gentle and focused unwinding, the body is restored to optimal movement, free of pain.

Infant care
Tongue ties aren’t just about extra tissue under the tongue. Babies often experience tightness in their mouth, jaw, neck, and body that makes feeding and movement more challenging.
Gentle myofascial therapy can:
- Relax tight tissues so the tongue can move more freely
- Improve feeding and comfort, sometimes reducing the need for revision
- Make a laser release smoother, if it’s still needed
- Support faster healing and lower the chance of re-tethering afterward
Helping your baby feed, breathe and thrive.

Kristi really cares about her patients. She upended her schedule to see my dad who tweaked his back during his travel to Houghton. He was able to move so much better after seeing her. Thank you, Kristi!
