About Christie
Hi Everyone and thank you for stopping by. My name is Christie Naeher, and I am a Licensed, Nationally Certified Massage Therapist, Reiki Practitioner. I am a Deep Tissue, Trigger Point, Esalen, Prenatal and Myofacial Release Specialist. I have been practicing my own signature therapeutic massage sessions for more than 4 years now. I graduated from the National Therapeutic Massage Institute, certified in some of the best massage techniques available to therapists, and I have a back ground in the chiropractic massage industry working with chiropractors in this area for several years.
I designed Indigo Blue Massage & Wellness to
be different than just your ordinary massage practice. It was designed
on the belief that my customer's therapeutic massage needs are of the
utmost importance to me. I am committed to meeting those healing, holistic
needs. As a result, a high percentage of Indigo Blue's business is
from regular customers and my client's referrals. I have worked in
several spas and salons in this area, which were not only horrible to clients needs,
but did not meet my own needs.
Let me explain a little bit about what brought me to massage. In June of 1996, I lost my husband of 15 years to a massive heart attack at the age of 42. I was left alone with two children to raise, my daughter was 10 and my son was 9. I focused my life on them, but when my daughter was at JMU and my son was about to graduate from high school to go to VCU, I decided that I needed to do something that would be good for me as well as for other people. That led me to going back to school and getting licensed and certified to do therapeutic massage. I loved it from the beginning. It was not the easiest course, but I was dedicated to learning everything I could about the human body and this healing art. This was the best decision that I ever made. I have met some amazing people who come to me so that I can help them heal. If I can help just one person reduce their stress, pain, and lower their blood pressure, it can help them deal with the pressures of every day life. It can also help them enjoy one more day with their families. Massage is so important to help keep you healthy, happy and pain free.
I learn something new from each client that I meet, every client is different, and every client needs their own personal, custom massage. That is what I am committed to. Almost all of my clients have been to therapist after therapist after therapist trying to find a massage therapist who actually cares enough or has studied the proper techniques to help them deal with their pain and symptoms. They have spent a lot of money trying to find help. When they come to me, they stay! To help them afford the massages that they need, I have a massage club that allows them two massages a month for the cost of one, plus 10% off any other service that they may need. They will also receive 10% off any products and gift certificates they purchase. I am not in this business just for the income, I am in it to do what I do best, to help my clients feel better and help them to recover.
I feel it is an honor to work with my many clients. Most of them suffer with chronic pain, fibromyalgia and stress. To deal with that I have developed my own Signature Massage Session incorporating some Deep Tissue work with the long flowing and relaxing strokes of Esalen massage. I will also incorporate the neurological effects of Tragger. I love to combine, hot stone and different massage modalities like Trigger Point Therapy, Myofacial Release, Deep Tissue Stretching, Gua Sha with Reiki to bring my own personal holistic approach to all my massage sessions. I will even incorporate Sacred Earth Vegan massage cream for our Vegan clients.
It is important to me that my clients receive a personalized, safe, healing experience. I also feel that Massage and Reiki have become the most beneficial ways for my clients to de-stress and heal. Massage is quickly becoming an important part of our lives to help us maintain a happy and healthy lifestyle in this hectic, stressful environment we all live in today.
It is also very important to me to use only the highest quality, organic skin care products for men and women, and the best essential oils on
the market to give each client a safe, relaxed and healing massage that
will be the most beneficial for each of their own specific needs. Take an hour or more for a mini vacation from the stresses of everyday life with the best massage techniques, the luxury of the softest sheets, wonderfully scented jojoba oil, soft candle light, relaxing music, a scented headrest and the best final end.....a warm scented facial towel to bring you back to life. (All scents used are of the client's personal choice)
