About me
My Mission
Hello everyone, I’m Christine McGovern, and I am a professional New York State licensed massage therapist, nationally certified lymphedema therapist and certified Emotion Code and Body Code practitioner who helps people like you reduce stress, anxiety, pain and the impacts of past trauma that are stored in the body.
As a multi level healing facilitator specialist, my focus is to help your mind and body heal faster.
How did i get here?
I’ve been doing this combination of massage therapy and energy work for several years now, and I think it would help if I explained how I got here.
I was already on the path to alternative and holistic medicine when my son was placed on medication at five years old for ADHD. Over the years, I watched him get passed from doctor to doctor, medicine after medicine that did nothing to help him. I was threatened and coerced into keeping him on these drugs.
It took years, but I finally found a place that would help me get him off all those drugs and teach him the habits and skills that would let him function. Combining this with herbs, essential oils, and massage, he learned to live a balanced life. Now, at 30, he is an LPN, EMT and volunteer fireman, and I couldn’t be more proud.
The whole experience put me off western medicine, made me distrustful of the conventional medicine mindset. Don’t get me wrong, western medicine has its place, especially in emergency medicine. For me, western medicine compartmentalizes everything and doesn’t treat people as a whole. Everything in the body is connected and can affect the function of other parts of the body.
Energy Healing
Over the years, I studied massage therapy, obtaining specialized training and top-level certification in Manual Lymphatic Drainage, which places me among a tiny group of people trained to give this specialized technique.
I added several trainings in tuning fork therapy to utilize the healing power of sound and vibration to stimulate healing. It works on a pain-free level for people in severe pain or would like to try acupuncture (and are fearful of the needles). I add this therapy to many of my sessions to help amplify the effect of lymphatic massage. I also have added Emotion Code and Body Code certification to really address the mind and body as a whole.
More than a decade ago, I decided to embark on the aromatherapy path. I studied under some of the top names in biochemical research for aromatherapy, spending many hours learning the specific chemical structure of various oils and what they do to the human body, both mentally and physically. This goes far beyond merely smelling a pretty oil – it’s a complex system that can affect our hormones, metabolism, and even the way we think.
Holistic Approach
My custom blended organic essential oil products are designed to help people relax, reduce pain and inflammation, and improve their sense of well-being. In each one, I put hours’ worth of research in to find the perfect balance.
