Welcome to Bali Hai Body Work. Allow me to introduce myself – I'm Kristen, your dedicated massage therapist and wellness advocate.

My journey into the world of massage therapy began when I graduated with honors from the Cortiva Institute of Massage Therapy in 2012. But my story doesn't start there. Prior to delving into the world of massage, I spent 12 years as a veterinary technician, where I honed my intuitive nature and developed a deep understanding of the connection between physical well-being and emotional balance.

For over a decade, I've had the privilege of working closely with patients at a chiropractic office, enhancing my skills and deepening my understanding of the human body. But my thirst for knowledge and passion for holistic well-being didn't stop there. I've pursued certifications in Personal Training, Fitness Nutrition, and Yoga Instruction, believing that true wellness encompasses mind, body, and spirit. My expertise in these areas allows me to guide clients towards achieving their physical fitness goals while promoting balance and harmony. Through mindfulness practices and movement, I create a nurturing environment where clients can experience holistic wellness and transformation.

Beyond the realms of massage and fitness, I'm an avid advocate for shelter dogs, fostering and caring for these beautiful creatures whenever I can. At home, I share my life with two rescued pitbulls, Rhyno and Slater, who remind me daily of the power of love and compassion.

In 2016, my love story took me to the island of Maui, where I married my husband Brian amidst the stunning backdrop of Hawaii. It was here that my deep connection to the islands was born, igniting my passion for all things Hawaiian.

Drawing inspiration from my cherished memories of Hawaii, I named my massage business Bali Hai. The name, derived from my favorite place on the island of Kauai, holds a profound meaning – "your own special island" or "a gift from heaven". Just like the serene beauty of the islands, my massage therapy offers a sanctuary for my clients to find peace, relaxation, and rejuvenation.

With me, you'll not only receive expert care and attention but also experience the healing touch of someone who approaches her craft with love, dedication, and a genuine desire to make a difference in your life. Step into Bali Hai, and let me guide you to your own special island of wellness and tranquility.
