Therapist Spotlight: Christian Goldberg
A graduate of the Boston Shiatsu School, Christian travelled to Boulder in 1999 to began her mat-based and chair massage practice. She has continued studying Shiatsu, and added techniques of Thai-yoga and Breema bodywork to her foundation.
With a diverse perspective on mat therapies, Christian has the tools to treat clients of all ages and most health conditions, including prenatal and injury recovery. Adapting techniques for the massage chair has been a special focus. Christian has developed a chair massage foundation with plenty of room for growth, and teaches other practitioners this modality. Beyond mat therapies, Christian started the on-going study of Core Synchronism in 2016. With it’s roots in both Cranial Osteopathy and Polarity Therapy, this subtle yet profound technique helps re-establish the flow of cerebrospinal fluid throughout the body. This technique can be integrated into a Shiatsu sessions, however is a stand-alone treatment. This efficacy of Core Synchronism is particularly evident when applied to injuries that don’t “stay healed.”
Christian has been fortunate to learn from master teachers of diverse bodywork modalities. There are two common lessons among all advanced practitioners. First, learn to follow the receiver’s body to determine the treatment strategy for any given session. Second, correctly applied bodywork therapies will help successfully restore health.
