Thrive Rolfing

It was a pleasure to have met Kristina on two levels. She not only is very proficient in her craft, but she is also a genuinely nice person who cares about the individual and their health. Both aspects are important in today’s world filled with charlatans and insincere people. Ok — that was dark but there was a positive undertone! Anyway, my initial session with Kristina consisted of a very thorough consultation followed by a comprehensive functional assessment of my movement patterns. I read her website and was intrigued by this statement: «rolfing will systematically reorganize and remove restrictions in the fascia resulting in better alignment and a balanced body». After experiencing her initial evaluation, I realized the aforementioned quote was exactly what was about to go down. You see how she’s literally assessing each body part’s role in the kinetic chain and whether or not it’s working appropriately. In other words, she figures out what soft tissue (s) isn’t doing it’s job correctly which results in aberrant movement patterns which causes wear and tear on your body. After 1 session, I felt noticeable improvement in mobility and tension in my problems areas (shoulder and right lower extremity). I’m well aware that there is no quick fix and things take time and consistency, but I was in awe of the noticeable difference between walking into her office and walking out. It was pretty cool! I recommend Kristina for anyone seeking an alternative and holistic approach to tackling musculoskeletal symptoms!

I have had tinnitus since I can remember. My mom and I always thought it was from chronic ear infections as a child. I started working with Kristina about 4 months ago, and in that time my tinnitus has gradually reduced to the point that most of the time it doesn’t bother me at all and there are also extended periods of time that it is gone. It is something that I thought I would have to deal with my entire life and she has changed that. Her focused eye and perceptive hands have cued into what has been bothering me for over 30 years and has shifted it to a life changing level. I can’t thank her enough.

For the past year, I have had constant back and neck pain. I am very active and work out multiple times a week, but sit 8 hours a day for work. This has put a strain on my body and is the leading cause of my daily body aches and pains. Before meeting with Kristina, I have gone in for multiple massages, and while I feel better the next day, my pains start up again shortly thereafter. I have not been able to find a solution to my constant back problems until I had sessions with Kristina.
After the first initial session, I immediately felt that my body alignment had been corrected and knew that it would only get better from here. Kristina is very warm, welcoming, professional and makes you feel very comfortable. Kristina is also very informative about this field and worked on my body in ways that no massage therapist had done in the past. I look forward to my sessions with Kristina and see improvement with my neck and back with each visit.
I HIGHLY recommend Kristina to anyone who is experiencing any aches or pains in their body. Kristina also gave me exercises/​stretches to implement into my everyday life and those have helped me tremendously. It is obvious she is passionate about rolfing and helping others feel their absolute best!

I had been a baseball player for the past 15 years and my hips had frozen from static lifting and squating (catcher). Since massage wasn’t working, I needed something else besides yoga to help loosen my body. I had heard about rolfing from my physician and decided to try it out. I searched for rolfers in Beverly Hills and found Kristina. My experience with Kristina was great. She helped with the nerve pain I had in both hips and helped expand my chest cavity. As well as alleviating some of the shoulder tension I had been experiencing. I’ll be going to see her every other month. Thanks again Kristina!

About a year ago I was in a bad car accident and have been struggling with back and neck pain from whiplash ever since. I’ve seen multiple chiropractors, acupuncturists, and massage therapists but none of them were able to ease the pain for longer than a couple weeks at a time.
I first heard about Rolfing from my personal trainer and after doing some research on the practice and methodology I felt like it was something worth trying out. I searched for rolfers in Beverly Hills and found Kristina. Her site was super informative about the work and what to expect during a session. My experience with Kristina was great. She is an incredibly knowledgable and skilled Rolfer. I felt very comfortable during our sessions and learned a lot about the body and its relationship with pain.
After going through a 10 series with Kristina my body has never felt better. My neck and back are finally pain free and I’ve been able to go back to living my active lifestyle.

Kristina works miracles!
I was referred to Kristina by my Chiropractor and also a friend. I feel so fortunate to get Rolfing done by Kristina. She is extremely knowledgeable and very passionate about how she helps her clients.
I have a neck injury and many years of «wear and tear» from a lifetime of professional dancing. I felt better from the very first visit, but I also know that Rolfing is a process to help your body correct itself (Rome wasn’t built in a day!). I trust Kristina and highly recommend her if you want your body to be as close to feeling 100% as possible.
Trust the process and you will feel much better!

Kristina has a great reputation, and having had a first session, I can see why people are so pleased. She worked with a problem foot I’ve been troubled by for many years. By the end of the session, my foot felt so different (and so much better)! As we worked I felt my back soften, my breath deepen (I love Rolfing!), and my knee begin to work more in line with my foot. When I stood, my foot had gone from feeling a bit disconnected, ungrounded, and «stuck together», to feeling solid, open, and much better than the left foot. A hopeful outcome to my longstanding foot issue. I’m sure more work with her will take me even further. Kristina is a great practitioner, with a bright mind, warm and outgoing presence, and an obvious natural gift for this type of work. Her work was strong, but not overly so, and she had a very attentive and thoughtful presence. I’d recommend her to anyone!
