Massage Therapy

Christina Jones is a certified massage and lymphedema therapist with specialized training in manual lymph drainage using the Vodder Technique. She is also a craniosacral therapy practitioner and holistic health practitioner. Jones provides highly customized therapeutic massage to support a wide range of needs, including oncology massage and the management of edema and lymphedema for cancer patients both in active treatment and in remission.

With advanced experience in craniosacral therapy, she facilitates deep stress reduction, improved circulation, and enhanced regulation of the central nervous system. This gentle, light-touch modality also supports mobility of the cranial structures, making it effective for individuals experiencing headaches or temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction.

She is honored to walk alongside each patient in their wellness journey and is grateful for the opportunity to provide compassionate, individualized care.
