About

It all started when…

Hi, my name is Christine Seymour and I’ve been practicing healing massage in Beacon since 2003

I decided to become a massage therapist when I needed healing in my own life. I awoke one morning with extreme pain in one of my arms. I had just recently met this women at an art fair, and luckily had her card handy. She lived nearby and offered Shiatsu massage. I was a little skeptical at the time, but I took a chance and called her. The treatment was gentle and at the time I didn’t think would be effective, but my arm was 100% better. I thought: wow that’s amazing!

From then on it was always in the back of my mind how powerful healing touch can be. While I had been told by many people that I had the energy and skills of a healer, it took me ten years and that transformative massage experience to realize that healing with massage was my calling.

Now, I truly love my work. I love working with my hands, and the connection and energy that massage creates and knowing I helped someone feel better and live a healthier life.

ABOUT MY TECHNIQUE

My study of massage has taken me from Healing Hands Institute in New Jersey. to Lotus Palm Centre in Montreal, where I learned directly from Kam Thye Chow, a master of Thai Yoga Massage.

Ive studied Cranial Sacral Therapy with Dr Ron Wish, and continue to explore the beautiful healing CST brings to each healing session.

I intuitively combine  Swedish and deep tissue, Thai, and CST techniques in every session. I use the very healing power of Infrared heat. hot stones and therapeutic grade essential oils in every massage.

I have also studied and practice Thai Yoga massage, Shiatsu, prenatal, hot stone and abiyanga massage. I have begun studying Ayurvedic massage with Hilary Garivaltis, Dean of the Kripalu School of Ayurveda.
