Kristin Wilson, RN, LMT 28265
Hello Eugene and Springfield! I recently moved from Iowa to Eugene and I am loving it here and looking forward to growing my business in this magical place.
I’m located on W 10th Ave, kitty corner to the Eugene Public Library. I am open to mobile massage as well.
BASICS:
LGBTQ+ welcoming.
I don’t talk unless you want to talk. I do ask for input at times.
PRICES:
Two appts per month are reserved for sliding scale for those in need without funds. Just ask.
Payment in cash is greatly appreciated.
First time appt requires a 90 min session.
$100/60 min
$130/90 min
$190/120 min
$300/ 180 min
STYLE:
Collaboration, consent, communication, and compassion are cornerstones of my approach to bodywork.
I often work on a mat on the floor with the client fully clothed, similar to Thai massage, with compressions and sometimes stretching. See pics at the bottom of the Services page to better understand.
On the mat, I use my feet under your body weight to get deeply into glutes or around shoulder blades while mobilizing your limbs with leverage for a dynamic physical experience that affects a larger area than just the one I’m pressing on.
On both mat and table, I use Myofascial Release (MFR), Spontaneous Muscle Release Technique (SMRT), stretching, Sports Massage, Orthopedics, sometimes Gua Sha (scraping) and Cupping. Prices listed are all inclusive.
MY COMMITMENT
My promise to you is to create a safe and welcoming space for every person, no matter your age, size, ethnicity, or if LGBTQ+, differently abled, neurospicy, or have trauma history. I commit to treating every person with unconditional positive regard.
WHY I DO WHAT I DO
This culture is stressful! We hold a lot of tension in our bodies that can cause pain and dysfunction. Three chronic conditions I thought were just part of getting old were resolved when I went to massage school. That’s when I began to appreciate the power of massage. I want to do that for others.
One in three vagina havers has urinary incontinence, fecal incontinence, or prolapse, according to a 2022 study of 25k women at the U of Iowa. That is heart breaking. Lessening the tension in pelvic muscles can often relieve the symptoms mentioned above.
I recently became trained to do internal pelvic work. Having abdominal or genital surgical scars or a history of giving birth, episiotomies or C-sections can leave scar tissue that can cause back pain, restrict digestion, limit reproduction, and affect posture. I have a micro current point stimulation (MPS) tool that is effective at dissolving scar tissue and painless to receive.
I work with all genders. I want to help people with this area that often carries shame and trauma.
I will take this moment to make it clear that I only do therapeutic massage and do not engage in, nor tolerate, any sexual jokes or actions.
TESTIMONIALS
(All used with permission.)
“I was skeptical about mat massage but I cannot deny the results.” -Kristina F.
“This is what I’ve always wanted…..someone to press this deep into my shoulders and stretch them out.” - Carrie E.
“The pain is 50% less than it’s been for months.” - Kylie A. (Athlete, the day after her first 90 minute session.)
“There is a new world of hip mobility for me! I was looking forward to being very sore. I feel more like the Tin Man after they oiled him! New muscles are sore, ones that couldn’t get used before! I think that massage has made it easier to exercise. My sumo squats are way deeper now! I swear I can even walk faster!” - Roy H.
“I used to have to stop three or four times on the way to the bathroom to lean on something and breathe through the pain in my hip. Now I walk easily and barely get a twinge if anything. And my husband loves you. He says I stopped being grumpy when I started seeing you.” - Linda R.
“Why would anyone ever want to do massage any other way [than on the mat?] I never want a table massage again. That was so deep!” - Carrie E.
“I have hope for the first time in years. The pain at the base of my skull has been debilitating and unrelenting for so long.” - Janelle M.
“The tension and pain in my mid back is gone this morning and I swear I can even breathe better. Amazing!” - Rhonda O. (This was after a two hour session. She had a lung lobe removed a decade ago and has suffered daily with pain from back tension related to the surgery ever since, despite regular massages.)
“There’s no way anyone could get in around my shoulder blades with their hands like you can with your feet. This is the most relaxed I’ve ever been without meds.” Kim D. (After a three hour mat/table combo session.)
“This is similar to deep tissue without it being as painful and it gets all the spots you don’t usually get in traditional massage- side of hips, top of shoulders, deep into the side of the neck.” - Kim E.
“Kristin is such a wonderful massage therapist. She has exceptional intuition to understand what's going on in your body. She communicates just the right amount to assess how you're feeling throughout the massage. Her compassion is evident in the way she massages and is able to tune into your pain to alleviate it. I felt amazing after my massage with Kristin and she really addressed some major pain I was having.” - Bridget Smith, trainer and owner of Muscle For the Journey.
“I really liked that. It was completely different. It’s deeper than the table massages.” - Mathew M.
“I’ve never had my traps worked that thoroughly.” - Jennifer B.
“After my last appt here I went to the chiropractor and she just kept saying ‘WOW! WOW!’ at every move because I was so loose!” - Linda H.
“When I used to walk down a long cement hallway at work my one leg would just hit the floor so hard with my heel striking hard and loud with every step. But now, even two weeks after my last [mat] massage I noticed there is no hard hit on one side anymore. Now they are even!” - Sarah Z.
“That [ mat floor session] was better than chiropractic! Relaxing and rejuvenating.” - Kathy M.
“Kristin did a superb job addressing my individual issues. She is very knowledgeable and used various methods to reduce my pain from an old repetitive work injury that yoga just hasn’t fixed.” - Elaine O., Yoga Instructor
“I highly recommend Kristin. She always begins by identifying your needs and then asks about the pressure throughout the massage. She’s very professional and very personable.” -Claudia M.
