**Interview with Christina: A Decade of Massage Therapy Experience and a New Venture in Kelowna**

After 10 years of building a successful career as a Registered Massage Therapist (RMT), Christina Marin recently embarked on an exciting new chapter—opening her own massage therapy practice in Kelowna - Balsam Center. We sat down with Christina to hear more about her journey and what clients can expect from her practice.

Q: What inspired you to open your own clinic after 10 years in the field?

Christina: "Primarily, I was looking for schedule flexibility. I wanted better control over the hours I was working. But I was also excited about the creative process of creating my own clinic space and building something from nothing. After many years of working at other clinics, I felt I had the experience I needed to step out on my own."

With a decade of hands-on experience, Christina felt it was time to branch out and create something truly her own. Her clinic, Balsam Center Registered Massage Therapy, aims to be a space where clients feel comfortable and at ease, knowing they’re in the care of a knowledgeable and skilled therapist.

Q: Can you tell us more about the atmosphere at your clinic?

Christina: "My new location is a clean, calm, and bright space. I rent offices to a counselor and an esthetician. There’s usually some calming background music, the air is fresh, you’ll be greeted with a smile, and there’s coffee, tea, and water available if you’d like it. It’s a small, simple clinic space."

Christina takes pride in creating an inviting and relaxing atmosphere for clients, allowing them to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Her goal is to provide a seamless experience from the moment clients walk through the door.

Q: How would you describe your approach to massage therapy?

Christina: "I truly care for my clients' unique needs, offering temperature and pillowing adjustments, lighting adjustments, checking in with the pressure I’m using, and providing both scented and unscented products. I respect my client’s table-time and do my best to keep interviews and assessments prompt. I combine the many different techniques I’ve learned over the years to engage the muscles, joints, and other soft tissues while always keeping the nervous system in mind."

Christina’s personalized approach ensures that each treatment is tailored to the client’s specific needs, creating a deeply relaxing and restorative experience.

Q: You’re located in the Landmark District—why did you choose this area?

Christina: "The Landmark District, makes our office convenient for those living in Kelowna Mission, Kelowna South, Downtown, Kelowna North, and Midtown. This is the main hub of Kelowna, where most people live, work, and play. It was important to me to be in a location that was accessible to as many people as possible."

Being centrally located allows Christina to serve a wide range of clients, whether they live or work in the area.

Q: What would you say to someone thinking about booking their first appointment?

Christina: "I’d say come try out Balsam Center Registered Massage Therapy! We’re great people, and we want to get to know other great people! If you have any concerns or questions, feel free to call us, and we’ll do our best to get you the information you’re looking for."

Many of Christina’s clients have expressed their appreciation for her attentive care. As one client shared:

"I’ve never felt more comfortable during a massage. Christina makes sure every detail is perfect—she truly listens and cares about how I’m feeling."

Christina’s warmth and dedication to her clients make her an excellent choice for anyone seeking massage therapy in Kelowna.
