Kristy Marie Massage offers individualized care for each of her clients.

Kristy Marie, owner and massage therapist, draws from her vast toolbox from a myriad of modalities of which she has been studying and practicing for the past 15 years. She integrates these methods differently for each session, depending on the goals of each client.

Kristy is available for private sessions at her office suite in the east end of Duluth in the Chester Creek Garden Building (kitty corner from Sara’s Table restaurant), or can travel off-site for chair massage sessions in corporate / small business settings, as well as in-home services for disabled people. Kristy also works in the physical rehab unit at the Benedictine Living Facility, enriching patients’ pain management experience as they heal from trauma.

A Healing Destination

Kristy Marie's massage space is a safe sanctuary for people to come explore the restrictions that hold them back from living a pain-free lifestyle. Kristy’s extensive study in Myofascial Release, a type of physical therapy which includes cranial sacral work, enables her to further each client’s process of healing by teaching self-help techniques to use between sessions.

Kristy Marie’s approach involves thoroughly evaluating her clients’ needs during every visit, not just the initial interview. She places importance not only on where each person has been, but where they are right now in their healing journey. 

Kristy Marie, Massage Therapist & Owner

I had the honor of studying at the Maui School of Therapeutic Massage, graduating in 2004. This long massage lineage – fully embodied in a beautiful culture – was a fundamental core to my establishment as a massage therapist.

My intuition is keen; over my years of practice I have learned to listen to the root cause of a person’s ability or inability to relax. I consider myself a guide in healing, to help bring others to a more relaxed state, in a safe space.

Since 2012, I have studied with John Barnes in the Myofascial Release approach. I've taken myofascial 1 & 2, unwinding, fascial pelvis, cervical thoracic, rebounding and a week long skill enhancement seminar wherein I shadowed Barnes in his Pennsylvania clinic.

I relish opportunities to continually learn about the body, mind, and spirit and how they are connected. I have attended numerous sufi retreats around the world, learning about the self through music, meditation, surrender, contemplation, compassion, love, harmony and beauty.

In the Fall of 2018 I graduated yoga teacher training (YTT) from the House of the Gathering Yoga School in Duluth MN. I had the honor to be a part of the first cohort obtaining a 200 hour YTT certificate. It was an exceptionally deep experience and I am so grateful for the opportunity.

Every thing that I study brings more fascination and more wonder and above all, more appreciation for the body's infinite potential and capability.

Through her own healing process she feels that it is her service to the world to help as she has been helped and give back to the community. Receive healing by scheduling an appointment for yourself or a loved one.

"Kristy Marie is an excellent Massage Therapist. She has this amazing way of listening to where your body needs attention and knows just how much pressure to apply and what technique to use. Other massage therapists I have seen over the years haven’t even come close to how great my experience was with Kristy. Whether you are new to massage and wondering about how it can benefit your life, or you are looking for someone new to try, call Kristy Marie and let her hands speak for themselves!"

~ Alicia Lokke of Duluth Minnesota

"I am so grateful for the genuine care of Kristy Marie. When chronic pain or states of imbalance flare up, she is the first person I think of to call. With her skillfull hands and intuitive spirit, she has shown my whole being the way to strength and vibrancy. Thank you Kristy Marie!"

~ Emily Hysjulien of Emily Heart Acupuncture

"Recently I had the pleasure of a fully body massage from Kristy. I had been experiencing some tightness in my central back that was becoming a daily distraction. Kristy did a phenomenal job taking the time with me prior to the massage to understand my lifestyle, nutrients consumed, and problem areas. I have never had a massage that helped me understand how everything ties together quite like this. Kristy is truly an artist at her craft, and should be utilized by all downtown professionals. My body and mind have been dramatically improved since my 1 hour massage with Kristy!" 

~ Dan Moseley of Duluth Minnesota

"Kristy Marie is a very skilled massage therapist. I have never experienced a massage as therapeutic and thorough."

~ Dr. Andrew Lundgren of Lundgren Chiropractic

"As soon as I met with Kristy Marie I was impressed with her healing energy and ability to tune into my body’s specific needs. She masterfully creates a safe and tranquil space where I can simply let go and allow her to access my deepest areas of tension. My confidence in Kristy’s unique style has greatly increased since I’ve started seeing her for prenatal massage. Whenever I am in Kristy’s care, she focuses all of her energy on healing my body and especially targets those areas that are most affected by my pregnancy. I always feel brand new after our appointments and I have grown to trust Kristy 100% with my body. I am grateful to be able to call her my healer, guardian and sister!!"

Kristy writes:

“Love is the healing force that is going to help us most in any situation. No matter the injury, no matter the ailment. But the thing that is getting more and more clear every day is that…

love is not what we need, love is what we are...

We just need to find the courage to uncover it within our already perfect being.

Every day I get the honor to meet all kinds of people exactly where they are at... assisting them in finding their own way through. I am a Sufi practitioner, a yoga teacher and a mother. I care so much about our collective healing.

Bless you all. Namaste.”

Oh Thou, who art the Perfection of Love, Harmony and Beauty,
The Lord of Heaven and Earth,
Open our hearts, that we may hear Thy voice,
Which constantly cometh from within.
Disclose to us Thy Divine Light,
Which is hidden in our souls,
That we may know and understand life better.
Most merciful and compassionate God,
Give us Thy great goodness;
Teach us Thy loving forgiveness;
Raise us above the distinctions and differences which divide;
Send us the peace of Thy divine spirit;
And unite us all in Thy Perfect Being.

~ Khatum Prayer (sufi blessing)
