WELCOME
My name is Akasha Christy, thanks for your interest in my work.
I started my first 250 hours of training in 1998. During this time i met one of Ida Rolf’s original students and received my first 10 series. It changed my life and showed me what I wanted to do. I practiced between Colorado, Hawaii and San Francisco until I made the leap in 2006 to study Structural Integration with my teacher Lee Joseph in Kauai, HI.
I have also studied with famous Thai massage teacher Pichet Boonthamme outside of Chiang Mai, spent 5 years studying Transformational NLP in Marin county, and have been focusing on Perinatal Somatic studies in Ojai since 2016. I continue to learn in order to keep my practice relevant and on the cutting edge of healing. I have been living and working in the bay area off and on for 12 years.
My specialty is Structural Integration with elements of ART (Assisted Release Therapy) and Cranial Sacral Therapy. My sessions are 100% Therapeutically oriented. I also offer Pre/Post Natal Massage, Deep Tissue and Sports Massage. I help people recover from injuries, manage and heal ongoing chronic pain, optimize physical performance, reverse physical patterns and change habits in order to promote healthier choices on all levels. Some common problems I handle: whiplash, migraines, accidents, bulging discs, chronic muscle tightness, dis-regulated nervous systems, anxiety. If you are needing to address your pain and reach there root cause while transforming your body and the patterns you have been holding in it, please get in touch. If you are wanting a program that can help make long term changes, let’s discuss the 10 series. The 10 series is a method of unwinding the entire body and helping you to re-orient how you exist with gravity. I have been a CMT for 20 years

THE OFFICE
Welcome to my office.
It is a beautiful, spacious place in the heart of Piedmont Avenue, surrounded by shops, restaurants and the historic Piedmont Theater across the street.
The office is both peaceful and elegant in its simplicity.
You will feel held here in the work we share together.
It is a sanctuary in the midst of a busy neighborhood. A good place to take a pause from the rest of your life to rest and rejuvenate. There is a quiet outer waiting room shared by both suites for you to arrive and settle for your session. I look forward to seeing you!
