About Chris

The studio is small on purpose.

One licensed therapist, one private room, no front desk, no upsells.

01

An hour that's actually yours.

No overlapping appointments. No front desk. No upsells. The room is the room you'll be in; the time is the time you booked.

02

Therapy, not a spa treatment.

Board-certified bodywork that addresses what's actually going on. Sessions are built around your body that day, not pulled off a shelf.

03

Real work that doesn't wear off.

Most clients come back. Not on a membership - just because the work helps.

I built this practice around one idea: do the work.

I opened My Tiny Massage Studio in Fort Collins because I wanted to do this work the way it should be done - one client at a time, in a quiet room, without a front desk trying to upsell anyone on a "wellness membership." The studio is exactly what the name says: small, private, mine.

I'm board-certified through the NCBTMB - the highest voluntary credential in the field, and one most therapists never pursue. I pursued it because I wanted to hold myself to the highest standard in the profession, not the minimum.

I've also trained in somatic techniques for massage therapists - an approach focused on working with the nervous system, not just the muscle. A lot of chronic tension is held in place by an old habit the body stopped noticing, and pressure alone won't move it. Sometimes the better path is to guide a muscle to gently engage and then release slowly, so the nervous system can actually relearn the pattern. I fold that in where it fits, alongside the deeper hands-on work.

Most of my clients find me through word of mouth - usually from someone who'd been looking for deeper, more personal work and finally found it.

If you've never had bodywork before, we'll talk first. If you've had a hundred sessions, you'll get the kind of focused, no-rush work that's hard to find in a chain. Either way: you'll get my full attention, and a session built around what you actually came in for.
