Excelsior Skin & Body LLC

This workshop will be a practical, hands-on experience designed to help you understand how healthy shoulders move and function and what you can do to take care of them!
What you’ll learn:
What “shoulder balance” means and how to achieve and maintain it
The difference between mobility and flexibility—and why it matters.
Injury prevention and post-rehab self-management

What we’ll do:
A private, personalized assessment of your shoulder range of motion.
Learn and practice a complete shoulder mobility routine
Learn and practice specific stretches and exercises to support shoulder strength and balance
Light refreshments provided.
Please bring a stretch mat and a towel!
This is for you if you’re dealing with nagging shoulder aches, intermittent pain, or limited range of motion—or if you have healthy shoulders and want to keep them that way!
*This is not for anyone experiencing undiagnosed acute pain, swelling, or loss of function. Please consult a healthcare provider first*
Registration is limited to create a comfortable, semi-private atmosphere.

Looking forward to seeing you there!

I’m excited to introduce you to someone new at the studio!
A note from Christian...

“As a former high school baseball player, I was introduced to the importance of stretching, recovery, and proper body care at a young age. After experiencing a serious shoulder injury and going through multiple surgeries and rehabilitation, I developed a deep understanding of how the body heals and what it truly takes to recover well.

That experience led me to pursue certifications in therapeutic stretching, massage, and recovery so I could help others manage pain, improve mobility, and prevent injuries before they happen.

I specialize in assisted stretching, massage therapy, mobility work, and recovery techniques tailored to each individual—whether you’re an athlete or simply looking to move and feel better in your everyday life.

My goal is to provide personalized, hands-on care that helps you reduce tension, improve movement, and feel your best.”

You.

What you put on your body is just as important as what you put in it. Your skin is your largest organ—remarkably sophisticated, deeply intuitive—and it deserves only the purest, most intentional care.
Before becoming a therapist, I often avoided massage because of the synthetic, questionable ingredients in commercial massage creams. I’d leave feeling like I needed a shower- That experience deeply shaped my practice today.
I only use pure organic oils that nourish the skin. A massage truly is a skin AND body treatment.
A couple of my favorites are:

✨ Frankincense-Infused Body Oil
This golden elixir is rich with ultra-therapeutic frankincense resin melted into argan and marula oils to soothe, restore, and quench dry, inflamed skin. It leaves your skin soft, not slick.
🌙 Lunaflora Body Oil
Prickly pear seed oil is a true skin treasure—high in Vit E & K as well as antioxidants. Lunaflora softens thirsty skin and protects it from environmental elements.
No need to rush to wash off these therapeutic elixirs!

There is a quiet kind of alchemy in thoughtful touch.
It soothes the nervous system, restores connection, and invites the skin to soften, to open, to glow.
My facials are intentionally low-tech and high-touch. In my experience, no machine can create the kind of shift that skilled, caring hands can.
Touch is the foundation. Healing is the result. 🌿

endlessly grateful for the tokens of love. the treatment room is a special place. sometimes the treatments are quiet. other times they’re conversational. but each time, it’s a meaningful exchange 🩷. if you don’t already know this, to work with each of you is a privilege and I am thankful each day that I get to. 🙏🏼

Today, someone asked about what they can do to improve texture and fine lines. They had to quit prescription skin potions because they’ve developed peri-oral dermatitis after several weeks of use.
My answer was not more …. But less..

“It sounds like you could use some building up of your natural skin barrier (peri-oral dermatitis is just one example of a compromised barrier). And if this is the case, your skin will not be able to hold onto hydration which will exacerbate and even cause fine lines.
I would advise you to stay away from all active ingredients right now.
Give your barrier time to heal and repair.
Don’t put anything synthetic or chemical on your skin . Definitely don’t cleanse with any detergents.
Give oil cleansing a try for a good four weeks if you haven’t already, then reevaluate.
Also, check your water source .
If you are cleansing with tap-water, you’re rinsing with chlorine and irritants. I only use and recommend filtered or spring water for cleansing. Your barrier will have a very hard time healing if it’s repeatedly damaged with things like this.
Damaged barrier = uneven skin tone, inflammation and accelerated aging 💯guaranteed.

I started thinking… we should nourish our skin on the outside, the same way we nourish it from the inside🍇🍒🍓🍋🍍🍊🥑🥥🍅🫐🌱.
