About Christina
Christina views bodywork as a direct way of improving a client's quality of life by reducing the causes of discomfort and pain. I focus on structural and movement-based bodywork methods that aim to decrease pain and improve function in the body.
​
Why I became a therapist.
I used to have horrible migraines. They were debilitating. I would have to lock myself in my room, ice my neck, take meds and just try to sleep them away. After college I worked in a Chiropractic office as a Dr.'s assistant and this is where I was introduced to massage therapy for the first time. I was told massage could help with my headaches.
I went into the therapy room and came out free from pain. I had space and circulation in my body that I had not had ever before.
I began receiving massage on a weekly basis and the migraines disappeared. Since that first massage session I felt a calling to the field of bodywork. It wasn't until 2003 that I had the opportunity to go to massage therapy school.
Having a background in physical education, anatomy and physiology made the transition to massage therapist very easy. I started course work at Santa Barbara Bodyworks in 2003 and graduated in Winter of 2003 as a somatic practitioner. The basics were covered in massage school but I wanted to learn more so I took advanced course work.
I started my business in Santa Barbara in 2004 and then moved to Sacramento a few years later. Christina Miranda Massage was started in the Greenhaven / Pocket area of Sacramento in 2007. The summer of 2018 I made the risky decision to move my massage therapy business into Elk Grove, CA to be closer to home for the family and I renamed my business Catalyst Bodywork Studio.
