Kristin Rosenbaum
Relaxation Massage
Hey, I’m Kristin. I was born and raised here in Prince George. I am a mother of a blended family of 5 girls and 4 dogs. We are a busy household with friends, family and sports. I have always worked in the service industry and love being around people. I started with 11 years in hospitality and 10 years in retail management. One of my best friends / co-worker approached me with the idea of going to school for massage. She had also been working in a spa. The next thing you know we finished our 2 year diploma and I have loved every moment. I love working with people and now I have a way to help others while I do it. There is no better satisfaction than helping someone to better their day to day life. Massage is not just for physical health, but is also very beneficial for mental health as well. I am very interested in mental health and finding holistic ways to help others. I offer a supportive environment to help my clients in their journey to better themselves. Whether it be relaxation, recovery, or mental health, together we can make a plan for your well-being.
My Journey Begins
Well-Being Massage Journey was created from a personal passion for a holistic, patient-centered approach to wellness. Recognizing the importance of relaxation and care, I established a place where compassion meets comprehensive well-being.
What to expect during your appointment.
First time, no worries...
In advance of your appointment I will ask you to fill out information about your health history, including any injuries or surgeries, medications taken, and your primary area of concern that led you to your visit This is so I knows as much as possible about you, your health, and your condition, so I can provide you with the best possible treatment. This personal health information is kept confidential.
I will ask you questions to gain a deeper understanding of your conditions and concerns, as part of my assessment. Based on the assessment, I will propose a treatment plan, including any further assessments I would like to do. This includes the parts of the body I intend to work on, the potential benefits and potential drawbacks to treatments and what results you can anticipate. I will be able to provide you with alternative options and give you the opportunity to ask any questions you may have. I will then ask you for your consent to treat you based on the plan we have made.
Once you have provided consent for treatment, I will leave the room to allow you to undress to the level of comfort and get on the table under the sheet. I will check in with you regularly to ensure the pressure is to the level you’d prefer, and ask how you are feeling about the treatment in general. Your treatment will typically begin face down, and then you will be asked to turn to your back to treat other areas. You will remain appropriately draped the whole time, and there may be some variation based on the treatment plan and your preferences. If you are experiencing any pain or discomfort at any time throughout the treatment, you should let me know so I can adjust.
Many people choose to fully undress or leave on only their underwear for a massage treatment. You choose what best suits you for your needs, as this is very important for you to relax and feel comfortable You will be draped to cover any part of your body that is not currently being assessed or treated (except for the shoulders, neck, face, and head). I will clearly explain what part of the body I will be assessing or treating and also explain how to best position yourself for assessment and treatment to ensure your privacy, safety, and comfort.
