My name is Kristen Matke, I am a Holistic Health Practitioner. Health and wellness has been a passion of mine for a long as I can remember. I began my journey as a massage therapist 20 years ago. The past 10 years I’ve been working with private clients who benefit from functional therapies. I work alongside each individual to set goals for the bodywork session. The therapeutic treatments are developed for relieving pain & stress, enhancing posture, and strengthening immunity.

 

The knowledge gained through structural integration training and the hands on experience with clients has allowed me to embrace the art of healing through soft tissue manipulation and the fascia network throughout the body. Seeing and addressing the patterns of held tension in the musculoskeletal system has a profound impact on the body and overall sense of well being.

 

In 2016 I had the privilege of internship at C-Care in San Diego, working with patients receiving cancer treatments. That experience helped me develop a reverence for many types of health struggles and propelled me into training in manual lymphatic drainage. A highly overlooked system in the body that holds high importance for detoxification and can be addressed with massage.

 

The past 4 years I have also been a part of the Golden Doors team of massage therapist. We provide therapeutic evaluations and perform bodywork treatments that assist individuals through their healing process.

 

Holistic massage and wellness takes a multidimensional approach to healing of the body. I remain committed to helping clients find relief from pain & discomfort and will continue to do my part as a massage and bodywork therapist to restore balance and harmony to each client.
