“I Truly believe that healthy habits adopted early in one’s life can create a powerful difference in a child’s cognitive and structural development. My commitment is to help parents understand postural changes and how important it is to work with the nervous, skeletal, and immune systems to assist the young body in healing naturally allowing the child to experience a more rich and fulfilling life.”

Christian Gentile

Massage Therapist
​​​​​​​Christian’s journey began in Italy, where his passion for food and travel led him into the world of hospitality. After over a decade working in top European establishments, the physical demands of the industry prompted him to shift careers and train in massage therapy. With his unique background, Christian has developed a holistic approach that combines bodywork, yoga, and energy preservation.

Christian’s massage therapy specialties include:

• Therapeutic Thai Massage: A blend of deep pressure and stretching to release tension and improve flexibility.
• Cupping Therapy: A technique used to increase circulation, reduce pain, and release muscle tightness.
• Myofascial Release: Focused on alleviating muscle and connective tissue tension.
• Lymphatic Drainage: A gentle technique to support the body's natural detoxification processes.
• Yoga & Energy Cultivation: Integrating yoga principles into sessions to preserve and restore energy.

Now based in California, Christian integrates his passion for healing into every aspect of his practice—from the nourishing food he prepares for cleanses, to his yoga classes, and his deeply restorative massage sessions. He’s also co-hosted over 40 successful yoga retreats, blending food, yoga, and bodywork to create transformative experiences for his clients.

Christian’s approach is centered on the healing potential of nature, both within ourselves and in the world around us. His goal is to help you reconnect with your body, release tension, and achieve balance, whether through massage, yoga, or nourishment.
