Christie Rainaldi
NYS Licensed Massage Therapist
Hello! I'm Christie, a Licensed Massage Therapist in NYS and California, and trained at both the New York Institute of Massage and IPSB Integrative Psycho-Structural Bodywork. My focus is on providing therapeutic bodywork based on how your body presents that day to stay consistent with your most current goals and desired results. I'm passionate about using therapeutic touch, using whichever methods your body responds best to, including but not limited to circulatory, deep tissue, lymphatic drainage, stretching, myofascial release, and intra-oral/buccal.
Rain Bodywork is a personalized, outcome-driven session designed for individuals who want deeper, more sustainable results - whether you are new to bodywork or have previously tried standard massage sessions that fell short of your expectations. Each appointment is tailored in the moment according to how your body presents that day. Movement patterns, tissue condition, and areas of limitation are evaluated, and a customized blend of hands-on methods, movement-based techniques, and specialized tools is used to address root causes rather than only relieving symptoms. Unlike relaxation-centered massage, this method emphasizes thorough assessment, flexibility in approach, and meaningful progress, helping improve movement quality, ease discomfort, and enhance overall physical function.
