My goal is to assist in leading an active, healthy life without needing medications. I have extensive experience in treating a variety of conditions, such as hip issues, sports and athletic injuries, plantar fasciitis, headaches, shoulder issues, and chronic pain.

Meet Kristin, our new massage therapist at Strong Fit Massage Therapy. With a personal journey into the field, she specializes in deep tissue and Swedish massage and is passionate about improving body posture. Her empathetic approach and dedication to client well-being make her a valuable addition to our team.

We're excited to welcome Kristin Willis to our Strong Fit Massage Therapy team! Kristin's journey into massage therapy is deeply personal and inspiring. Growing up actively engaged in Martial Arts, Dance, and Cheerleading, she experienced firsthand the physical toll these activities can take. It was her own quest for relief, particularly from muscle tension and migraine headaches, that led her to discover the transformative power of massage therapy. 

Kristin's professional training began at Lincoln Technical Institute, where she graduated in 2021. There, she specialized in deep tissue and Swedish massage, developing a keen understanding of alleviating pain and improving movement. Her unique approach to massage is empathetic and targeted; she listens intently to her clients to tailor her sessions to their specific needs, ensuring a comprehensive and therapeutic experience customized to each individual.

In her sessions, Kristin aims to create a soothing and comfortable atmosphere, allowing clients to relax and release tension. Her method involves staying within the scope of massage therapy and proper business ethics, ensuring that each client feels heard, understood, and well cared for.

Kristin's personal experiences with migraine headaches have made her particularly passionate about providing relief through massage therapy. She understands the challenges of muscular tension and brings this empathy to her practice, making her particularly adept at addressing these issues in her clients. Her technique involves using gravity to target trigger points, especially in areas like the upper traps, rhomboids, and neck, often sites of chronic discomfort.

Guided by mentors like Jim Hopgood, Kristin has refined her deep tissue and myofascial release skills, growing her confidence in her ability to provide effective relief. Her dedication to client well-being is further supported by her self-care practices, including running, strength training, and stretching, ensuring she's physically prepared to offer the best massages.

Kristin's journey in massage therapy is about honing her skills and building trust and connection with her clients. Despite being new to the profession, her genuine approach and dedication to client wellness shine through. She believes in creating a comfortable environment for her clients, often incorporating music and soft lighting. She is always open to adjusting the ambiance to suit their preferences.
