Christine is amazing! I went for my first prenatal massage at 24 weeks when I first began experiencing SI joint pain/sciatica. Each time I go, I feel relaxed and amazing afterwards. She provides a lot of great tips and insights into the pregnancy journey, so I always enjoy going and talking to her. read more

I started seeing Christine a few years ago when I was pregnant and continued massage therapy sessions with her during my postpartum recovery. She gives amazing prenatal and postpartum massages! She uses very comfortable props and pillows to support your body, whatever stage it's in. Also, she is such a kind person and very attentive to your needs. My mom was a massage therapist, so I have very high standards for massages, and Christine lives up to them all! Highly recommend. read more

I started seeing Christine at the beginning of my second trimester. I'm so glad I found her! She always gives a great therapeutic massage that I look forward to monthly.

Christine provides the most amazing and relaxing massage! I first started seeing her in the middle of the second trimester with my first pregnancy. She provided so much relief and relaxation that I increased the frequency to every 2 weeks in the last trimester and then weekly the last month. I wanted to stay as active as possible during my pregnancy and she definitely helped me with that goal. I have continued seeing her through a second pregnancy and now for regular massages even after my second baby. Do yourself a favor and book a massage with Christine and you will be hooked! read more

Christine has been providing exception prenatal massage for me during my pregnancy. My job is physically demanding so body work is a must and I trust Christine whole heartedly. Her energy and overall vibe of her space are so relaxing and welcoming. I'm so glad I decided to go to her! read more

I worked with Christine for both prenatal massage and as my Birth doula. She was amazing in both respects. Doing the prenatal massages regularly really allowed us to get to know each other well and for her to know my birth preferences. It also just helped me to feel totally comfortable with her presence by the birth. She was a huge asset to both me and my husband during the birth.... We both agree it was the best decision to have with us. We both felt that it helped us be more calm and confident throughout the process to have her with us from start to finish! I gave birth at Sutter and needed an induction after premature rupture of membranes and she really helped us navigate this unexpected change with confidence and have an overall good birth experience! read more

I had all sorts of pain during pregnancy, from sciatica to girdle pain, and Christine worked magic every time I visited. I show up feeling like a robot with cranky joints and leave walking and moving around as if I didn't gain 40 lbs in the last few months. My contractions started a week before my actual delivery and when other labor symptoms started, Christine also helped reduce back labor that evening. I don't know how she does it but if you tell her what's going on, she'll figure it out how to ease your aches and pain for you! it also helps she's just an awesome person to start with and was very generous in lending her ear when I needed to vent read more

I absolutely love Christine-- she immediately put me at ease, and her prenatal massages were the best things about my pregnancies! I then learned you don't have to be pregnant to get Christine's massages: I have continued getting massages from her, and they continue to be calming and rejuvenating. read more

I've been seeing Christine at The Belly Beautiful for prenatal massages since my second trimester and I am so glad I found her. I couldn't be more grateful for her expertise and care. She combines extensive training in massage therapy with her decades of experience as a doula, giving her a deep and intuitive understanding of the pregnant body and an educated, highly experienced perspective on the body's process. Christine not only knows how to address physical tension, but she also deeply empathizes with the unique challenges and discomforts (and of course joys!) of pregnancy. Whether it's a heated pair of cozy socks, a break for peeing mid massage (constant pregnancy peeing is so fun isn't it?!), or athletic level pressure on those hip pain points, she'll take exceptional care of you. She helped me feel genuinely cared for inside and out. As a member of the LGBTQ community I am typically cautious about new spaces that can be hetreonormative and obtuse to the queer experience, but I was very welcomed, loved and validated. From the moment you walk into her space, you're greeted with a nurturing atmosphere and thoughtful details, ensuring your comfort throughout the session. Her approach is both functional and restorative, applying just the right amount of pressure your body wants and needs, her hand strength is superhuman. Moreover, Christine's holistic approach creates a wonderful balance of serenity and practicality, making each session a true haven for wellness. If you're looking for someone who understands pregnancy deeply and knows how to take care of both your body and your spirit, Christine is the one. read more

I started going to Christine when I was pregnant for prenatal massage. She was very aware of what how the body changes (and aches!) through pregnancy and was able to release my tightness and pain. She did so in a very caring and comforting way. I always felt safe and relaxed in her hands. I have continued to go to Christine post pregnancy and love her. She is very knowledgeable of the body and is able to help you understand why you may be tense or tight in certain areas and how to make adjustments to address your issues. She is amazing! read more

Christine is absolutely amazing at what she does! We did a prenatal massage leading up to my induction date, and I ended up going into labor the day before my induction. Everything went smoothly so I could have a vaginal delivery, and I believe her massage not only helped me go into labor naturally but made sure I had plenty of space in my pelvis! Thank you so much for the work that you did with baby and I! read more

I started going to Christine about halfway through my pregnancy and cannot speak highly enough. Not only was she able to provide tremendous relief, she also is so knowledgeable about the body and pregnancy. She became a go to with any questions I had and gave wonderful recommendations for other people practicing in adjacent areas. After I had my kiddo, I had severe back and sciatic pain with a herniated disc. Christine came to me as I was unable to make it to see her and it was the one thing that gave me enough relief to walk and do my PT. While she was with me she also gave me some tips for baby massages. I've seen her a few times post birth and she's one of my first calls every time my back flares up. Would highly recommend her to anyone - pregnant or not! read more

Christine is simply the best! She makes you feel incredibly comfortable and her massages are fantastic. We were also going to use Christine as our doula but Covid rules prevented us from doing so. I have no doubt that my birthing experience would have been a thousand times better had she been at my side. Highly recommend! read more

Christine is wonderful. I went to her for a massage at 37 weeks pregnant and it was so lovely. She has a great memory foam topper for massage table and all the pillows and props to make you feel so comfortable. I was initially hesitant to get a massage that pregnant because of how uncomfortable I am but she is very knowledgeable and helpful to get you into the right positions. And the a actual massage was just what I needed, she had the perfect amount of pressure and gentleness for pregnant mommas :) read more
