Why I do what I do

Hello, I am Christy Schumaker, Licensed Massage Therapist and Reiki Master/Teacher.  I love working with people who are STRESSED OUT!  This includes moms, athletes, children, people that are not experiencing restful sleep, healthcare workers and people whose jobs take a physical toll on their bodies. 

I hear your pain and discomfort.  I know what it feels like to be stressed out, with a throbbing headache, not being able to comb your hair or reach up for that glass in the cupboard.  I know what it feels like to have a fractured jaw without the ability to move it for six weeks.  I know how it feels to wake up three months later after having no treatment, get out of bed, and not be able to move my neck in any direction.  I know how it feels to be vulnerable and helpless, searching for relief and landing in a Chiropractor's/Massage Therapist's office for the first time.  I know how pain and discomfort feel to me and how this directly affects my daily life.

I help my clients free up the tension and stress they are holding in their bodies due to injury, physical activity or daily working, sleeping or driving habits.  With your willingness and participation, we can create an individualized action plan that will help reduce your pain, decrease your stress level, improve your night's sleep and increase your flexibility.

How would it feel to be able to focus on your production at work instead of having your pain being the only thing that can keep your attention?  How would it feel to be able to communicate with your loved ones with a calm and peaceful demeanor instead of having conversations to the tune of anger, impatience and frustration?  How would it feel to experience a more positive attitude daily?  What would it look like to wake up feeling refreshed instead of waking up feeling more exhausted than when you went to bed?  What would it look like if you made better food choices instead of eating those donuts this morning?  What would it look like of you had more energy to exercise three times a week?

I do what I do because I love it.  I love to help people reach their desired results, making their lives happier and healthier throughout the journey.  My heart smiles when we make time for ourselves. Living with reduced or no pain can help you become more present in your relationships, more productive at work and can help keep your immune system strong so that you can use those vacation days for an actual vacation!

Thank you for taking the time out of your busy day to read this.

I look forward to working with you!
