“After spending a great deal of time researching massage/lymphatic drainage therapists I made an appointment with Cristy. I had been advised by my Endocrinologist to seek a therapist with training and skill in therapeutic massage who could relieve the inflamation I have from a rare autoimmune disease. My experience with Cristy has been transformative. Her expert care has reduced the swelling and pain in my extremities and abdomen. I have been able to increase my daily activities and I have been able to taper off my nerve pain medications. Cristy is a gifted healer who genuinely cares about her patients and truly understands the mind/body connection.”

“Stumbling into Cristy’s practice has restored my life! I have struggled with ongoing back issues since high school. After almost a year of PT, I was feeling a bit hopeless on whether I’d ever recover. That was until I met Cristy. She is gifted, knowledgeable, caring, and truly one of a kind in her work. She took so much time and care to work out my lower back and after one visit I was able to exercise again and live my daily life without being in constant pain. It returned so much hope and motivation back to my bones. I love coming to her and prefer her over PT, chiropractic work, etc...”

“Cristy is a gifted healer, massage therapist, and myofascial specialist. Each treatment and consultation I have had with her have provided extraordinary results. I have slept better. My circulation has be improving. Even my sense of smell has been returning. The tightness in my body has been loosening. Cristy is extremely thorough, taking time prior to each treatment to discuss many aspects of healing and generously sharing her expertise. She has shared exercises and stretches I can do on my own time at home to improve my symptoms and sleep. She has also provided tips on posture that I think about daily. Her massages and myofascial work are extraordinary. Cristy meticulously focuses on areas that need work. Including my upper left side, which I didn’t even realized had been extra tight from having broken my collarbone over 20 years ago. She has also been helping me with the 3 autoimmune diseases I have been working to heal. I recently bought a gift certificate for my husband to see her as well. He has a very tight lower back, and I know she can help him. I highly recommend Cristy and Encinitas Bodywork!”

“Hi Cristy,

after our session I had quite a healing response. It lasted 3-4 days when a lot of junk seemed to be leaving my body. It was amazing to see.

Since then I’ve been doing great. I feel significantly better, not just physically but as if a burden or weight has been lifted off my shoulders. I feel more calm and happy throughout the day and even more confident. Thank you!
Best,
”

“Hi Cristy,

I felt better after my treatment and that has held, plus I am trying to keep exercised and stretched. I think your treatment was nothing short of a miracle, and it has added greatly to my ability to use my right arm. I would estimate that what you did brought me up to about 75% or more of full functionality, and in 3 hours, following several months of treatments that brought little results.
Plus you were the first to give a helpful diagnosis after a doctor, 3 physical therapists, two chiropractors and a surgeon.
I very much look forward to seeing you again.
Thank you”

“I had a phenomenal experience at Encinitas Bodyworks. I received a very professional assessment of certain areas I need to improve strength wise in the beginning. I also learned some important stretches to help me improve range of motion. The session was very specific and thorough and definitely recommend this type of holistic physical therapy!”

“Cristy Hunter is a HEALER! That is the best way I can describe the transformative experience that happens when I have a session with her. Her very being invites an instant vulnerability because she makes you feel seen, safe, and worthy of a pain free life. My hope is to win the Mega Millions just so I can see her on a weekly basis! Until then, I will see her as often as I can. I HIGHLY recommend you booking an appointment with her as soon as you can!”

“Cristy is a highly experienced bodyworker. She helped me with discomfort in my upper chest and armpit area that I’ve had for almost a decade—most of it was gone in the first session and now I’m feeling totally good after the second session. I trust her—she knows her stuff and has high integrity. Grateful that I found her!
”

“I came to her with chronic low back and neck pain. From the first visit, she was able to identify areas to work on, and I have seen a tremendous difference right away. She provided immediate and long lasting relief, and also recommends exercises do to at home to maintain the work she does.
I have tried a variety of different doctors for my back, and I am so happy to have finally found one that makes a true difference.
Cristy is also a kind and caring person.
I highly recommend her and her services. My husband and I are now regulars to “tune ups”.
Cristy, THANK YOU!”

“Cristy is the most intuitive Massuse I have ever had. I used to feel like treatments were indulgences, now I feel like they are an actual necessity for good health. Her treatments don’t just feel good, but have helped me stand straighter and the improvements I feel last days after the appointment. Cristy is compassionate and kind, and is extremely professional. I look forward to every opportunity I get to go see her!”

“I have nothing but good things to say about my consultation and massage with Cristy. The entire experience was unlike any other massage I have ever had. Cristy was extremely thorough, taking time prior to my massage to address what my individual needs were based on her assessment. In this assessment, she pointed out exercises I could do on my own time at home to decrease some of the tightness I had in various places. The massage itself was intensive; Cristy meticulously worked on pretty much every part of my body and I left feeling lighter and looser. I highly recommend Cristy and already sent my mom her way!”

“I had an amazing experience with Cristy. I really needed some healing and I definitely got that and more. Thorough, powerful, soothing and professional. I highly recommend her and look forward to be able to visit her again when I’m in the area.
”

“I had an amazing experience with Cristy. She took the time to review my assessment and really go over some helpful xercises and tools that I could use even after my appointment. I felt like she was really concerned and invested in my well-being. The massage itself was nothing short of excellent. After the appointment she also took time to get some feedback from me and I felt like she truly cared.It was an excellent holistic experience and I would definitely go back to see Cristy and I highly recommend that you do too!”

“Cristy is an amazing massage therapist - and so much more as you can tell from her credentials! My initial appointment was for treatment of pain under and around my scapula. Cristy did a thorough assessment and spent a great deal of time working on my problem areas. She went well beyond the time limit of my appointment, which was extremely generous. She also demonstrated stretches I can do independently to further alleviate my tightness.

Cristy’s follow up is superb. She checked in with me and continued to offer advice over the next several days while I was on the mend. I was grateful that she emailed home exercises to further enhance my healing.

In addition to being a superb professional, Cristy is such a delightful, warm and caring person. She is truly a gem!”

“Cristy is inspired to heal and seems to love what she does. I felt like she was so careful in her assessment of my needs and her choice of treatment. I felt amazing after!”

“First, I really want to thank you so much for the most incredible experience ever!! I truly believe you are a Healer!! Thank you so much for spending so much time with me. I cannot believe for two weeks straight I felt like a new person! I do feel like I released a lot of stuff, that I was holding onto in my muscles- May sound weird. But the next day it was like I had released a lot of “crap” I was holding onto. It’s hard to explain .
Thank you so much! I really would love to have more sessions in the future I have told so many people at work about my experience.
Thank you so much!! I really do appreciate it!

The most wonderful experience ever! Cristy is amazing and a really sweet soul! She is definitely a natural born healer! Thank you Cristy for being where God called you to be!”

“Christy is an amazing massage therapist and healer. This is not your typical massage and I mean that in the best way possible. She starts with a comprehensive assessment of your problem areas but also asks about lifestyle, diet, assesses posture looking for imbalances or weak spots and makes suggestions for improvements. She not only massaged the trouble areas but preformed myofascial release and deep tissue massage to help release tissue and provide relief. I wasn’t off the hook though...I was an active participant in some of the movements to help stretch and release certain muscles/joints. Yet it was still a relaxing treatment and provided much needed relief. She provided this service to me as a gift since I am a healthcare worker but I will be returning for more treatments. She spent a good amount of time making sure she was able to release my problem areas and provide relief. If you suffer from chronic pain issues or need myofascial/deep tissue massage, she is amazing! I highly recommend Christy for bodywork.”

“I’ve got to call this place a “Hidden Jewel” tucked-in inside a wellness center in Encinitas! I have first heard about this massage place from our internal text news feed at our local workforce labor union. One of our colleagues, posted that “Encinitas Bodyworks” would like to extend their gratitude to the 1st responders in light of this covid pandemic by giving a complimentary 90 mins massage! I’m a RN since 1995 and never received such kind and generous offer like this, so I immediately emailed the owner(Christy Hunter) and booked myself the following week! I went and so glad I did! Christy did the massage herself, but first she took her time to know the type of massage that I should get depending on her assessment of my physical and emotional “stress” level state. I got the myo-fascia release deep massage and honestly felt that my lymphatic system drainage in my neck and groin areas were taken care as well aside from getting a full body massage! The ambience is so relaxing, it was perfect, the place is very clean, the relaxing aroma of the room from the essential oils, the candles -lit and the nature-type music in the background as I get my massage was ALL awesome! I will definitely come back again. I felt so relax after this massage and felt like I just want to take a good sleep afterwards, but then I got so much energy and went to do a bunch of errands, lol! Thank u sooo much “Encinitas Bodyworks” + Christy Hunter for this wonderful gift for us nurses and other 1st responders during this difficult times! You have made me feel appreciated and really felt the generosity from your ♥️! THANK YOU again and hope to see u soon!”

“I cannot say enough good about Cristy Hunter. I feel 💯 after my first session. Cristy takes ample time to know each person on a personal level and how she can help her clients permanently alleviate pain. Thank you Cristy @ Encinitas Bodyworks.”

“One of the most relaxing and comfortable experience I have gotten in a very long time. It was not a typical massage, but Cristy took the time to consult with me to assist with my specific needs. After coming home, I was able to sleep better not only due to a clear mind but overall tranquil everything. I will be returning. Thank you Cristy!! Until next time!”

“Hello dear Cristy

The last session I had from you was simply wonderful. A long time ago I was a healing practitioner working only with energy/reiki and I think that was why I was drawn to asking you to work on me energetically as I knew that was what my body needed.

Without you realizing it you gave me an incredible healing. The body knows how to heal itself once we get out of the way and by allowing the body to rest into itself by taking it into a deep place of relaxation healing happens at a very deep level. Your ability to do this work Cristy is incredible because you followed your heart and just put your hands on me as to where you were guided and then just let the energy do it’s work without trying to Do anything. I remember you saying how your hands felt like brick and that was a classic example of you being the healer and letting the divine energy do the healing.

So many practitioners that do this work get into trying to fix something and stay in their heads but when you allow the energy to come through you and do what it wants the healing is very profound. I felt this deep sense of healing from you that day which continued on for days and I feel something important got healed in me permanently. You have an incredible gift and I encourage you to do more energy work.

Looking forward to seeing you again when the time is right.

With love
Jennie”

“Encinitas Bodyworks is the best! We hired Cristy for our corporate massage perk and the employees love it. She teaches you techniques that you can do at your desk to relieve the sore neck or tired arms. The employees come out relaxed from their 45 minute sesh with her! if you are thinking on hiring her for your office, do so! You wont regret it!”

“Cristy has worked on both my husband and daughter and both have had amazing results! She was very thorough with their assessments and treatments. They each have better mobility, flexibility and reduced pain. We will continue to use Encinitas Bodyworks.”

“LOVE this place!
Cristy quickly assesses your personal body mechanics, then customizes her treatment to be most effective for your body’s specific needs. I’ve been getting massage therapy for many years (here and many other countries) and Cristy is by far the best, most intuitive masseuse I’ve ever experienced.
Couldn’t recommend her higher!”

“Incredible skill and knowledge related to my pain. Ahhh thank you Christy. You are a blessing in my life. You are truly a gift. I can not express, without tearing up, how grateful I am to have found you. Within our time together you were able to determine the many challenges my MSK system was experiencing. Thank YOU for all you do for me. I’ve honestly never had such amazing hands on work. I’m detoxing from a 7 year job that was constant stress and it’s only now that I’m experiencing the ramifications...”

“Thank you so much - you are the greatest. I’m on my way to recovery because of you. I was great in the morning, slept with less pain. Then, the drive this morning got me again, but I’m still better than before. I just need to take some time off from the driving and screen time as we discussed so that I can recover sooner which will get me back to work performing at 100% faster.”

“Your wonderful Cristy
My arm almost feels like new never the same experience at Kaiser. Let’s continue every once a week indefinitely for the whole body.
I won’t be using the Kaiser process going forward”

“I have had many massages; deep tissue, Swedish, etc but Cristy’s techniques go beyond those. I store a lot of tension in my neck and shoulders which in my case results in daily body aches. After she worked on my whole body I no longer felt the aches the next day and going forward. My husband has Parkinson’s and had been suffering from balance issues and after one session he went from shuffling his feet to actually walking with a better stride. He also has edema in his left leg and she was able to bring the swelling down. She is very knowledgeable and takes the time to explain what she’s doing and recommends stretches and exercises to work on.”

“Cristy hunter is amazing! I feel thankful I found her. She was very understanding and thorough diagnosing my back problems . I’m already back to surfing with much gratitude to cristy.I also purchased a grounding mat from her that has really helped me with inflammation and improved my over all well being. I Highly recommend the experience!
Best-Shea.a”

“Cristy did a phenomenal job working on my body. I recently had surgery on my torn ACL and my alignment is all out of whack because of all the over compensation. She has helped me feel a lot more balanced and the myofascial release has felt amazing. I highly recommend her if you are athletic and your body needs some love.”

“Cristy is amazing! I was in severe pain due to some strenuous activity and was hardly able to move. Cristy spent a lot of time understanding my pain and really did an amazing job ensuring I found relief after our session. Her strength was definitely required and I felt amazing when she was finished. I would highly recommend her!”

“I am blown away by how amazing my back feels and have had more energy than I’ve had in a long time. Thank you thank you thank you!”

“Cristy is truly gifted. She has healing hands that seem to always find what your body needs. She works on me, my husband as well as my 8 yr old who has scoliosis. We are blessed to have found her. She’s very knowledgeable really listens to you. Thank you Cristy for all you have done for us.”

“The treatment was stunning! I loved it so much. Cliff - my husband booked it for me after moving to Encinitas from Cyprus earlier last month. Having done a lot of remedial work ourselves in the past, we always say that there are only a couple of people in the world that we trust with our bodies. Well... There are 3 now! As Cristy is definitely one of them!!! The psoas release oh my god... felt so good! And I can still feel the relief of that several days later. Also after my last workout, I’ve not felt engagement like that in my mid/upper back for a long time. It feels great! More people get to know about you and your magic 😍 Marta”

“Cristy is by far the best massage therapist I’ve worked with. I’m so happy I discovered her and will be a regular client. She’s very responsive to scheduling and deeply skilled at therapeutic techniques including MFR.”

“I was referred to Cristy at Encinitas Bodyworks by my chiropractor Dr. David Yoder who is located in the same medical complex. I was rear-ended in a car accident back in August and they were kind enough to take my case on as pro bono until my case is settled. Even though I still feel some after effects from the accident, she’s been able to reduce my pain by 95%. I can even stand up from a lying down position without any real difficulty or strain. Before, I would be in so much pain trying to sit or stand up. I have scoliosis pretty bad, and even though I would be sore at times after her treatments, which she called the “healing crisis”, I would feel so much better a day or two later. She gave me lots of stretches and home-care treatments to follow that also helped, when I did them. I can’t thank her enough for giving me such great care. She really knows what’s she’s doing and she cares about her patients feeling and moving better. 

I really can’t thank you enough for what you did for me & my back, Thank you, Thank you & Thank you!!........Ed”

“Cristy is a miracle worker. I went to her about a month ago after seeing her Encinitas Bodyworks sign while at another appointment in her office complex. I had so much pain and tightness in my back it hurt to walk. She takes the time to figure out where you are hurting and then she fixes it. I knew my body needed more than a massage and stumbling across Cristy and Encinitas Bodyworks must have been divine intervention because it was exactly what I needed. I can’t even begin to recommend her enough.”

“Amazing experience with Cristy! A great combination of a therapeutic and relaxing massage. The MFR was a unique and calming yet energizing experience! Best massage of my life! I feel relaxed and very zen. If you want to feel great go see and experience Encinitas Bodyworks!”

“Hands down, best massage I’ve had in a long time. Cristy really takes her time to examine your needs and explains in detail how the body functions. The background music was very soothing, clean and relaxing office. Plenty of parking. Thank you Cristy, I’ll be seeing you soon.”

“Huge thanks to Cristy Hunter for helping me rehab with an incredible massage treatment. She gave me a combo of Thai massage, circulatory bodywork and some light MFR ... Truly amazing and reinvigorating after curating a half dozen art shows and lugging heavy SURF STORY book boxes around ... She has her own studio in Encinitas but caters to a small private clientele who love her for her healing powers ... Message her directly for more info ... You will not regret it.”

“Cristy is amazing! I threw my back out and she was able to get me upright after a week of being bedridden. Thank you Cristy!”

“Most wonderful, relaxing, soothing prenatal massage I have ever had! Let’s just say this, I fell asleep and that never happens to me! The setting is very peaceful and calming and felt like it was the real deal! When I go to get a massage I want to feel special and be pampered and that I was! She listens to your concerns and targets them! She is very knowledgeable on the body and the different ways certain areas need to be targeted. The discomfort I was having in certain areas was no longer there after my massage!!I highly recommend her professional services, she has multiple types of massage to choose from depending on what your needs are! Totally worth every penny! I will be going back and recommending her to all my family and friends!”

“This was my first experience with MFR and it was amazing. MFR was calming and gentle yet therapeutic for my injuries (neck/shoulder). Cristy was very knowledgeable and took her time to address all my concerns and explained to me how MFR worked. It felt like a very healing therapy much more than a regular massage. I’ll definitely recommend for anyone who had injuries.”

“Cristy is an amazing, professional and gifted healer. She is everything you want in a massage therapist. Not only does she listen to you but she tailors her therapy specifically to suit your needs. I received a prenatal massage from Cristy and I’ve never been more relaxed and comfortable even with a big pregnant belly. You really helped this momma to be de-stress and baby loved it too! She danced in my belly during the whole massage. Cristy’s warm energy really transcends and makes for a very soothing experience. Thank you Cristy! ”

“The consummate professional that will enhance wellness and overall body performance through her amazing skills. When I have the opportunity to bring her on full-time for my family, it will be a done deal.

Be careful, because once you have experienced her skills, all others will fall by the wayside.”

“Some of the best massages my husband and I have ever received. She is extremely competent, professional and caring. Cristy makes us feel very healthy and happy!”

“Cristy is an excellent massage therapist. She is attentive, sensitive, personable, pleasant, and always on time. She is great at creating a relaxing environment, and she modifies her massage technique to suit your needs on that day. I highly recommend Cristy- she is truly the best!”

“Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.”
