Welcome to ANVIL Bodyworks, where we share in your transformative journey to health and wellness. From a passion cultivated since

childhood, Chris has evolved into a Licensed Massage Therapist/Bodyworker, specializing in breath and bodywork for both physical and mental well-being. His personal journey, from embracing a misguided approach to self-care to a life-changing realization in 2017, forms the foundation of his mission and sparked a commitment to share the power of self-care with others. With a background in martial arts, including 20+ years as a defensive tactics instructor, Chris draws parallels between the precision of a samurai sword and the need for individuals to be sharp and strong. As a Massage Therapist/Bodyworker, Chris employs therapeutic, spa, athletic, and deep tissue modalities, along with acupressure techniques, to eliminate waste, reduce stress, and enhance flexibility. At ANVIL Bodyworks, Chris's philosophy centers on each client being a 'precision instrument' requiring professional 'tuning.' A commitment to providing productive sessions with included tools, such as aromatherapeutic essential oils, hot packs, hot stones, cupping, and the Dolphin MPS, defines the ANVIL experience. Chris encourages clients to adopt a ‘healthy self-interest’ and to expect ‘more’ from their massage, emphasizing that recuperation and rejuvenation are necessities, not luxuries. Chris is dedicated to helping individuals minimize unseen stress, take time to breathe, and stay sharp. At ANVIL Bodyworks, the mission is clear—apply exacting pressure through bodywork to remove impurities and help clients get back to 'doing what they do,' taking care of those who depend on them. Self-care is not just a concept; it's a commitment to equipping individuals to take care of themselves so they can better care for others. Expect more, experience more, and embark on a journey of wellness with Chris at ANVIL Bodyworks. Additionally, Chris is a certified ISSA Elite Trainer and has been active in the health and wellness space for over 25 years. An Army Veteran, former Supervisor with the Colorado Department of Corrections, and DoD contractor; Chris continually strives to strike harmony between the week and the weekend enjoying motorcycling, hiking, fishing, reading, and photography.

Somewhere along the way, many of us started believing we have to "push through" pain, stress, exhaustion, and tight muscles before we've earned a chance to slow down.

But recovery isn't a reward for working hard.

It's part of how we continue showing up for the people who depend on us.

Whether you're a parent, teacher, nurse, first responder, business owner, or someone simply trying to keep up with life, your body is working for you every single day.

Taking care of it isn't selfish.
It's responsible.

At ANVIL Bodyworks, every session is designed around what your body needs that day—not a routine, not a checklist, but individualized care that helps you move better, recover more fully, and return to your life feeling more like yourself.

Your body has carried you this far.

Maybe it's time to return the favor.

Breathe. Smile. Recover.

📅 Schedule your next session today.

Today we celebrate the people who keep our communities moving.

Labor Day isn't just about taking a day off—it's about recognizing the people who show up every day for their families, coworkers, neighbors, and communities.

If your body has been carrying the weight of long shifts, repetitive work, stress, or simply the demands of everyday life...

Take today to recover.

Rest isn't laziness.
Recovery isn't selfish.

It's how you continue showing up for the people who count on you.

Happy Labor Day from ANVIL Bodyworks.

Breathe. Smile. Recover.

If I haven't told you recently...take a moment to breathe, and smile.

Tomorrow begins a new month.

New schedules.
New routines.
New opportunities.

Before September asks more of you...

Ask yourself one question:

What do I need to do today so I can show up as my best tomorrow?

Maybe it's going to bed earlier.
Maybe it's drinking more water.
Maybe it's taking a walk.

Maybe it's finally taking care of the body that's been taking care of everyone else.

At ANVIL Bodyworks, we believe caring for yourself isn't about escaping life.

It's about becoming more present for it.

"Breathe. Smile. Then keep moving forward."

Here's to a September filled with strength, clarity, and intention.

08/31/2026

The strongest people don't just work hard.

They recover well.

Whether you've spent the summer hiking, traveling, coaching kids, working overtime, or simply trying to keep up with life...

Recovery isn't a reward.
It's a responsibility.

Your muscles repair.
Your nervous system resets.
Your mind clears.

Give yourself permission to slow down before September speeds back up.

"Rest isn't the opposite of productivity. It's what makes productivity possible."

08/30/2026

Before you ask how everyone else is doing today...

Ask yourself.

• How's my body feeling?
• Have I been breathing deeply?
• Am I exhausted or simply busy?
• What do I need today?

We spend so much energy taking care of family, coworkers, friends, and neighbors that we often forget to notice when our own body has been asking for help.

Listening isn't weakness.
It's wisdom.

At ANVIL Bodyworks, every session starts with listening—to you and to what your body is telling us.

"The most important relationship you'll ever have is the one you have with yourself."

Colorado fair season is full of memories, laughter...and foods we don't eat every day.

Enjoy every funnel cake and turkey leg you want—but don't forget what keeps your body running.

Today's challenge:
💧 Drink an extra glass of water.
🥗 Add one serving of vegetables.
🚶 Take a 15-minute walk after dinner.

Health isn't built by perfection.
It's built by consistently returning to good habits.

"One good choice doesn't change your life. Hundreds of small choices do."

Keep making the next right decision.
