Testimonials

I believe the best testimonial comes directly from the people I've helped.  Simply give me a call, and I'll be happy to connect you with them.

Christine is an excellent massage therapist. I went to see her for help with pain in my neck and hips. However, her massage also reduced my overall tension, pain, and stress levels. I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking a great massage therapist in the Santa Fe area.

Christine was very knowledgeable about trauma and back pain. For the first time in four years I walked without pain in my lower back even though I have had chiropractic care and physical therapy for years.
This after my first visit to Christine. I had never tried therapeutic massage or any massage before Christine and I noticed relief in areas I didn't think were affected, like my neck, no more cracking when I turn my head. Price very reasonable for immediate relief.

I am a former massage therapist of 16 years.  Last night I was blown away by one of the most incredible massages I've ever received.  I went to see Christine Hodges because of a pulled muscle.  Not only did I get immediate pain relief - I also received the most relaxing treatment ever!  I found myself slipping into that pleasant state between waking and sleep.  Her fabulous technique of articulation made me feel so completely cared for.  Christine is one of the BEST massage therapists in Santa Fe (for me in the whole USA).  I rate her in my all time "Top 5" and I've had hundreds of massages in the last 40 years.

I suffer from chronic pain that if untreated can be very debilitating.  Christine has been helping me deal with this pain for a year and has been doing a great job treating difficult issues.  She is constantly learning and applying new techniques to see what provides the best results.  She has a very good understanding of the human body and how to help it heal.  I highly recommend her to anyone dealing with pain.  ~Carlos

I wanted to say a few things about my wonderful massage I received from Christine.  I had pulled a muscle in my back at work and went to have Christine work on it for me.  It was the best massage I have ever had from anyone in Santa Fe!  Not only did she help with my injury she put me in total relaxation!  I plan on going to her exclusively and can’t wait to have another massage from her.  Thank you Christine you’re the greatest!!!     ~C.

Christine is a true professional and you actually just melt in her hands.  A lovely relaxing atmosphere that allows one to slip away from reality and enjoy a very therapeutic, relaxing and rejuvenating massage!

We visited Santa Fe on vacation in July 2011 one month after my teen daughter sustained a serious dance injury. She was dropped seven feet by her partner during a ballet Pas de Deux performance onto a wooden stage floor, suffering a concussion and severe whiplash to her neck and back. Her physicians, physical therapist and I went online to find a qualified massage therapist in Santa Fe to continue her required therapy during our 2 1/2 weeks there. Christine has the professional qualifications for everything from the most relaxing massage techniques to highly specialized therapeutic injury treatment. She also has the experience and personal characteristics of the finest massage therapist, and with an elite ballerina we have been to the best in almost every major city. We cannot recommend Christine more highly. My daughter was in extreme pain and very apprehensive about any change in her therapy. She says that Christine was so careful in her evaluation and treatment she never hurt her, always checked to see how she was feeling/responding and stayed in touch after each session to monitor treatment. My daughter says that she will be going back every summer when we arrive in Santa Fe....cannot overstate Christine's skill and personable manner. She also has a wonderful treatment space. My daughter actually fell asleep during sessions! We have told Christine that we are happy to be contacted for a recommendation or questions.

Dear Christine,

Words cannot express the calmness your touch brings to my body. I have seen many massage therapists in the past and none of them connected with my body in the way you have. I have seen you in times of great turmoil and have left my sessions feeling remarkably soothed and cared for. Christine, you certainly have a God-given talent and I am truly blessed to have found you! Without a doubt, I will continue sharing your name with my friends and family!

Again, thank you, for all that you have done for me!

Warm regards,

Monica Alvarez
 

Can't say enough about what a wonderful experience my massage with Christine Hodges was; she was so professional and the atmosphere was absolutely perfect tranquil and even smelled relaxing. I especially liked that Christine took time to make sure she understood my exact needs and then asked throughout the massage if my needs were being met. I would definitely recommend her and I will definitely be back!!

Recommendation: 

The environment and the professionalism that was shown before and during the massage was amazing. I felt completely comfortable and at ease, Christine is very knowledgeable about techniques and after care for your body . I couldn't have asked for a better massage to relieve my pregnancy tension. I look forward to returning as soon as the baby is born and I will be sending more referrals so that others can enjoy this experience.

Thank you, Christine for the massage!  Excellent work!  ~ Joseph Wooten (Steve Miller Band)

Have gone to Christine for lower back pain and left shoulder pain... With 2 Sessions Christine has given me much relief in my lower back and slight relief in my left shoulder... I will continue my sessions with Christine and I am looking forward to getting more relief in my left shoulder... Massages take time to get relief and we must remember our symptoms didn't come overnight... We must remember that our muscles have memory and will likely go back to where they have been so it's best to keep up with massages and I highly recommend Christine.

I have been going to Christine for the last three years. I was a fleet mechanic prior to retiring. Christine worked on issues I had with my shoulders and lower back. I have continued to go to her since retiring and have truly benefited from her therapeutic massages.

~ Greg Tipton

She targets key points definitely knowing what's wrong and works kinks out with patients an ease. Very comfortable and relaxing setting but a great personality to go along which makes you at piece from the start to the end of the session.
