I got a tarot card reading from Christie, and it was amazing! Christie is very professional, kind, empathetic, and knowledgeable. The reading did not feel rushed at all, Christie took her time giving me a thorough and detailed reading & made sure I understood everything, & was attentive to all of my questions along the way. It was a very informative & healing experience. I’m so glad I booked this reading with Christie, & would 100% recommend to anyone looking for clarity, guidance, self-reflection, & perspective!
Christie is amazing! Her intuition is spot on. She is kind and attentive, and does not give any false unsolicited advice or fake readings. She did my intuitive medical natal chart reading.
I was feeling Very stuck in life, Stagnant for so long. Avoiding so many life achievements due to aniexty fear, easier to hide away, or at least that's what I thought after years of doing this the aniexty increased, making a moutain out of a mole hill, Christie help me realized you can Still feel rejection but not let it stop your from said task, old story my Father abodoned me, I can NOT take anymore rejection, I would then reject people before the rejected me so I wouldn't feel that pain, avoid at all cost, and that lead to stagnation, Shame, embarrassment New story I am NOT afraid of rejection Matra I do not fear rejection But Recognized with Christie's help I will still feel it, but not to fear it, she gave me some tools, like snow shoes so I don't sink into the abyss of the swap of brain fog, and ultimately lay down instead of facing the world By sitting down writing your goals figuring out what I want and then placing priorities on the most important tasks. so I don't spin my wheels and live in production procrastination. What actions are most important to get your there, after doing this I felt hope where before I felt pain, I have a much clearer view on what steps to take. opposed it just being a dream with no action, that fills me with motivation hope and a reason to get out and bed and go after it, good day good stuff - thank you Christie, for this Purpose
I originally started doing massage work with Christie due to an old (10 years?) hamstring injury that kept flaring up. I was hoping for relief from a flare up at the time, but ended up getting a full fix for it! I continued to do monthly tune-up sessions just to keep up with the daily aches and pains we pick up, and it was good I did, because I ended up needing support again when I injured my shoulder and was left with some chronic instability. I found it helpful to have the massage therapy, bodywork, and energywork (new to me!) as additional support to the physical therapy I was doing.
From the moment I called Christie, I knew she was going to change my life! I have been in pain for months because of my right hip. She took her time to figure out what I needed, and sure enough after the trigger point massage I can honestly say I immediately felt better. I was able to sleep better, function better and have more energy. I can’t wait for my next massage! Anyone suffering from emotional or physical pain call Christie and make your appointment NOW! You will not regret it.
Christie is made of magic. Her hands, skill, knowledge, and power are worth moving mountains for. Over the course of the work she did, my circulation, ability to move, and personal comfort became so much better. I would have a massage every week still if I lived closer, but I still travel to her to get work done when I can.
Christie is a gifted healer with amazing hands and a great listener. I highly recommend her if you need to get "grounded"
Just finished a natal chart reading with Chistie and it was amazing! I have had basic chart readings done before but the in-depth information I got from today definitely helped with some very specific questions I had about the now. I was able to really connect with the descriptions she gave of signs and their correspondences, even some of their mythologies. Besides the knowledge, she is a wonderful listener and was able to connect events currently happening in my life with my chart. We were able to come up with a solutions and a plan of action for my business questions all while getting my heart filled. Looking forward to working with her again!!
I knew Christie was the perfect person to do my very first official card reading and for once, I was absolutely right. She took the time to explain not only my chart, but every single card in detail. Her patience and warmth while I asked questions and pondered meanings was so calming. I walked away from the experience feeling contented, illuminated, and more in touch with myself than I think I ever have. Christie's knowledge and kind soul truly make any reading experience a unique and serene one. I'll definitely be going to her again for more readings, I don't think there's anyone else in the area who can do what she does with the genuine warmth that Christie puts into everything she does. I can't recommend her and her work highly enough.
Christie is amazing! I feel so blessed to be in her area because she has really helped me out with my body!! I couldn’t use my arm for 7 years following an accident in 2004. Once I regained nerve stimulation, the real healing began and Christie has guided my body through all of it. She really knows the body well which results in unlocking deep, painful knots. She never fails in bringing alignment back to my twisted body. Highly recommend her!
