Christina Pyktel
Christina Pyktel completed a massage program while living in Flagstaff, Arizona in 2004 at Phoenix Therapeutic Massage College. Christina's style is deep, patient and nurturing. She enjoys incorporating therapeutic massage with aromatherapy and hot stones. One of her favorite offerings is the Ayurvedic massage. This ancient practice uses warm oil "medicated" with essential oils. The strokes are long and rhythmic, thus inviting the nervous system to re-charge and the body to gently detox.
Christina currently practices massage on the coast at Longevity Wellness Studio in Manzanita and in SW Portland at Om Base Yoga in Hillsdale. She welcomes new clients at both locations where she will be happy to provide a personalized whole body program. Also, please check out her Aromatherapy Wellness Product line sold at both locations. These synergistic blends offer take-home support for your mind, body and soul!
