Fire & Ice Wellness Spa

Aug 2020

I booked an appointment at Fire and Ice Wellness because Kristina's customer reviews are full of words like knowledgeable, informative, educational, and healer. I was looking for a therapist who could help with some old and new nagging injuries. I've seen her twice and both sessions have been great. She's definitely an Anatomy and Physiology nerd. She knows the musculoskeletal system, and neural pathways very well. This allows to her diagnose complex issues sometimes involving referred pain. I highly recommend the 90 min Custom Bodywork session. Kristina diagnoses by surveying the body, then provides appropriate treatments. All while she is educating you on what she's doing and why. This is not a massage where you just receive a good massage. This is an interactive experience where the more information you provide the more tailored your session will be. It's unlike any bodywork session I've ever experienced. Kristina is not just mentally and physically gifted. She is also very personable and genuine. Yep, she's a healer, educator, Anatomy and Physiology student, and an awesome person too.

TL:DR My quality of life has improved many times over and I'm feeling better than ever! Go see her, it's well worth the investment! Fantastic service, she works miracles! I have been in multiple car accidents, and spent years sitting at a desk all day for work. As a result I have (or now can say had!) numerous issues from my hips up to my neck. My shoulders were always up in my ears, and my neck would sometimes ache for days. I always figured I would eventually need surgery and/or would have to deal with these problems for the rest of my life. Thankfully I was mistaken. At a friend's recommendation I made an appointment. Kristina was instrumental in my healing. She is very passionate about healing people and it shows through in her work. Before when my neck and shoulder would start aching, I would just have to deal with it, or take Ibuprofen, until it got better on its own. Turns out, the issues were all connected, my muscles had been locked up for so long that they stopped firing properly and caused others to overwork. Each treatment she was able to get deeper and deeper into the issue. Once she was able to get the tissue moving and blood flowing, she taught me a number of stretches. Now when I start getting neck pain I can stretch it out. A few minutes later I go from a 7 pain to 0 in minutes. No more hoping and waiting sometimes days for the pain to go away on its own!

Kristina is fabulous! She is very friendly, communicative, highly knowledgeable, and does an excellent job finding and resolving the root source that is causing problems. I started seeing Kristina after a brief conversation where she explained the blading technique. I've had issues with my shoulder on and off for more than 10 years so I gave it a try. I went back again because after the first blading treatment, I noticed an immediate increase in my range of motion and a difference in my pain level - something that regular massages have never accomplished. After few more treatments, my range of motion has continued to improve, I am able to stretch areas that previously did not move, and the discomfort in my shoulder went from about a 5-6 down to a 0-1.
