With over 32 years of experience, owner Kristin Arikian provides personalized 60, 90, or 120-minute treatments. I look forward to embarking on this collaborative wellness journey with you.

I am a Nationally Board certified therapist, member of the American Massage Therapy Association and a Certified Zero Balance Practitioner. Holding current licensure in Maryland, Florida, Virginia, and Indiana. I hold myself to a high professional standard and follow the Massage professions Code of Ethics.

My focus is primarily Zero Balancing, Restorative massage and Ashiatsu:

Zero Balancing can help relieve body aches and pain, release restrictions in movement, and provide lasting relief from emotional distress to improve overall quality of life. Zero Balancing can also be helpful with specific goals such as relief from back pain, improving concentration or sleep, releasing unwanted stress, eliminating old behavior patterns, or boosting well-being. Zero Balancing works in conjunction with medical therapy and is not a substitute for it.

Restorative Massage is a holistic and individualized massage that focuses on restoring balance to the entire body, mind, and spirit through a blend of relaxation, deep tissue work, and stretching techniques. Its goal is deep relaxation and overall rejuvenation to relieve stress, muscle tension, and minor injuries, leaving you feeling refreshed, balanced , and well.

Ashiatsu (Gravity Assisted Massage) is a barefoot massage therapy where the therapist uses their feet to deliver deep, broad, and consistent pressure using their body weight for support, often from overhead bars or massage silks. It is known for providing deep muscle relief, similar to deep tissue massage but often more comfortable, as the foot distributes pressure more evenly. Benefits include relieving deep-seated muscle tension, reducing chronic pain, improving flexibility, and boosting circulation.
