Meet Your Instructor, Kristi.
Kristi was drawn to bodywork through Yoga. After receiving her massage license in 2015 she found her passion in Thai massage, but always felt like something was missing. After taking the Sarga training she found “home” by bringing the fascial work of Sarga and the passive movement of Thai massage together.
