Christine was a life saver today! I’ve had a ridiculously sore lower back for days (actually screamed out in pain multiple times it got so bad) and she got right to the heart of the problem in a caring and thoughtful manner. She’s a great listener, very professional, and wonderful at massage, particularly if you’ve got an injury. I’ll definitely be going back.

Christine is a true master! She gave by far the best massage I have ever had! She really listened to my needs, and incorporated so many different elements to the massage. The products she used where mild and felt great.
Christine herself is very nice and friendly and made me feel really comfortable.
I will definitlty be seeing Christine for all of my future massage needs!

Christine was amazing! After waking up with serious achy muscles I called her and she was able to fit me in right away. She made me feel comfortable right off the bat and truly cares about the well being of her clients. I feel so much better and will definitely be back soon. I highly recommend you go see Christine. She even used hot stones!

Thank you for fixing me!!!
I am a runner and jacked up my hip while training for the SF marathon and have been limping around the past few days whilst trolling Unilocal for a good sports massage, none really showed up. This surprised me for such an athletic city. I then perused the app looking for massage in my hood and came across Christine at BodySoulMassage and the reviews looked good and she listed sports massage – I called and Christine was able to accommodate me the next morning-​score!
I found Christine to be friendly and professional with a clean studio space. We discussed what was ailing me and as soon as she got me on the table she was able to identify and work on my two problem areas and I mean really work. I was limping around because of knots in my piriformis that caused pain in my butt and hip flexor – I had no idea. Christine got right in there, always making sure the pressure and temperature was appropriate and that I felt comfortable before she proceeded — lucky for me I have no problem being naked and having my butt worked on — the pain went away almost instantly and I had free rein of my hip again. I can’t thank her enough. She also educated my on body mechanics and recommended a few stretches. I will definitely be back!

Christine is very nice, extremely accommodating, and very skillful. She knocked out many issues with my back and kneck and I’ve felt great all day and very relaxed. She runs a private practice out of her apartment in Richmond. I would recommend this massage, and will be going back.

Christine is the BEST! I have been to a lot of other massage places and by far no one else compares. Always feel so much better after her deep tissue massage and hot stones, love the hot stones!!! She is clean, flexible and very sweet.

I saw Christine this morning and am feeling better, for sure! My lower back has always given me problems and has been acting up due to stress. It has created sciatic pain and the nerves have been shooting down my hips and thighs.
I met with Christine and she gave me a deep tissue massage which has left me feeling A LOT better. I could barely bend over or stretch and now I feel ready to go to yoga again. She used pressure in all the right places, and was communicative when she used various techniques and pressure. She helped alleviate the pressure on my lower back, as well as my upper back. She even suggested yoga poses and stretches that would help in the future.
I will DEFINITELY be back! Thank you Christine!!!

Christine has the most healing touch. Her work is both nurturing and functional at releasing major muscular blockages. She really knows how to listen to what your body is saying it needs. She is a pro. She fixed my chronically tight forarms! Miraculous!

Christine’s massage was just what I needed! I first went to her in November, when I was having a hard time breathing from so much pain. I’m an amateur cellist, and I overdid it that year (repetitive stress from long rehearsals but few practice sessions in between). She found the muscles that were tight and went deep where needed, being careful not to overdo it. A week later, I felt great. Other massage therapists I have gone to have been either too hard or too soft – but Christine found the right balance. I will make it a habit to go more often now!

Absolutely best deep tissue massage I ever had. Christine is the bomb.
I have been going to see her frequently and ever since my body feels so much better. It’s really hard to find someone that is so skilled and has also a great personality. I am a very happy repeat client.

Never really understood what a full body massage was until I got one from my friend Christine. Great relaxing experience. Highly recommended.

Christine is AMAZING. I am a landscape designer and constantly overwork my body. I went to her with a pretty serious deep shoulder muscle injury. I left feeling like a new person. I have had massages in the past where people just don’t understand their way around our complex muscle systems and end up adding to the damage. So I was cautious at first but within minutes I knew she was completely knowledgeable about the body and I trusted her completely.
She does not give you the standard routine, but truly listens to your needs and actually uses the perfect amount of pressure. She is not only extremely skilled but also a pleasure to be with. I have recommended three of my friends to her (one is a masseuse) and they all said they would go back to her without question.
I see her regularly now and feel so lucky to have finally found a masseuse that can maintain my overworked muscles so that I am able to keep up with my physically demanding job.
Thank you Christine!

Best massage ever! She saved me, I was in extreme pain from stress (ya know the term «pain in the neck») well I got some news that stressed the F out of me & it manifest its self in my neck, my wife feeling something had to be done (as this kind of thing never happens to me) found Christine at Body & soul massage and she literally took my pain away. She is a true healer, she knows what she’s doing, if your considering a massage for sports injury or just to feel great, do yourself a favor make an appointment with Body and soul massage. She is the BEST! Your body will thank you.

I have had mild sciatic pain on my right side for the past several months. More recently, I started having severe lower back pain on my left side (which I just found out was due to a iliosacral pelvic tilt…)
I saw a doctor who was unable to help/​diagnose me and just gave me muscle relaxers for the pain at night (the drugs DID NOT work nor did i want to poison my body) and referred me to a physical therapist… I’m extremely unhappy with Kaiser, but that is an entirely different review.
I am a yoga teacher, but with the amount of pain I was having I could barely move leaving me unable to do what i love, teach and practice yoga. I finally looked for a massage therapist and now I am so so so glad I found Christine Schneider at BodySoulMassage !
I thoroughly enjoyed my deep tissue massage from Christine. I am grateful for her hands (and elbows), as they truly worked magic. She was able to massage out the MANY tight muscles and knots I had in my shoulders, neck, lower back and gluteal muscles.
Today (three days after my massage) the majority of the pain on both left and right side is gone. I still feel a little something but that is due to the original problem, the pelvic tilt, which I’m going to see an osteopathic doctor for.

An achy body full of tight knotted muscles is never a pleasant thing. Between my job, exercising, and the stress that comes with life, my body was in serious need of a GOOD massage. And who was able to give me that desperately needed fabulous massage — Christine!!!
I have visited Christine on 2 occasions now, and I will definitely continue to frequent her studio. Christine is an incredibly attentive, professional, and licensed massage therapist with over 7 years experience. She has worked with people of all walks — from athletes, to dancers, to people with a less active lifestyle — and really knows what she’s doing.
I am a very physically active person with previous lower back injuries, and each time I’ve gone to see Christine she’s taken good care of me. She utilizes heat to assist in relaxing your muscles, with her treatments including a heated table, warm exfoliation scrubs and warm oils. Her hands are very strong and adept at finding and working out all of those awful tight knots, and she listens to you and your body while she works her magic. Each time I have left her studio I’ve felt a million times better and my body and mind were incredibly relaxed.
She operates out of her private studio in the Richmond, and is incredibly affordable for the awesome work that she does. I am a fan of her deep tissue massages and most definitely recommend her to anyone who needs to give their body and muscles some TLC.

I had a massage from Christine several days ago and I’m still feeling relaxed from it. It had been too long since my last massage, but it won’t be long before I go back to her. She did an excellent job of combining both a deep massage, which really worked out a lot of my muscle knots, and finishing with a very relaxing approach that nearly put me to sleep. Highly recommended!

I called Christine after a sports injury left my with a neck and back full of knots. She did great deep tissue work on my back and showed those knots no mercy! She had a great strong touch but ended with some craniosacral work that was so relaxing it almost put me to sleep. Great stuff!

A couple years ago I pulled a muscle in my back. After a few days of waiting for it to heal, the rest of my back was locked up trying to protect the original injury. I needed a serious professional, and I found one.
Christine took the time to understand my specific situation and spent most of the two-​hour session focused on the injury and surrounding muscles. I left walking upright and pain-​free.
She does an incredible deep tissue massage, spending plenty of time doing spot work. Great service, great price, great location.
Definitely recommended.
