"A trans-formative experience!  I have never had so much relief from a 1 1/2 hour session.  I walked in a tense bundle and left completely at ease.  Kris is knowledgeable, intuitive and competent.  I'm only in Sedona another two weeks and have already made another appointment before I go."

I want to highly recommend Kris for deep tissue therapeutic massage. I showed up on her door step with a back spasm in my lower back in full swing of getting worse. I had been driving for several hours across the country after a month long road trip, and i was grateful my good fortune helped me locate Kris from a brief search on the internet for massage in Sedona. After dowsing on the best practitioner for my needs, I selected Kris, & she was available, thank God! After my first fabulous session I immediately set up a second session with her. She is an excellent body worker. She demonstrates great knowledge of muscle structure and works intuitively herself letting the clients body speak to its needs. I had a great release and felt very supported in her care. If you would benefit from a great body worker, this is your gal, give her a try. Her massage studio is clean, warm and inviting for a relaxing and healing experience. You won’t be disappointed.

This was my first time going to Kris for a massage. Kris was able provide a safe space for me to release a lot of built up/stuck energy that was causing tension in my back. I highly recommend utilizing Kris's services. She is very skilled and intuitive. I could tell that her massage was customized to my needs instead of the routine massage. I felt amazing after and still do a week after the massage!

Stephanie Hicks

Whenever I come to Sedona from Michigan, I make sure to schedule a massage with Kris. Being a massage therapist myself, I am picky. Kris is excellent. She knows how to tune into the body and apply the perfect pressure in all the right areas. She’s intuitive and highly skilled in her techniques. I come away feeling lighter, looser and more connected and coherent in my body/mind. I highly recommend her.

Nicole Q.

Loved my time with Kris! She worked out the issues I had with my shoulders/lower back. I really appreciated hearing her insight on things. Wish I lived closer for regular treatments!! Thanks, Kris!!

Kris is a kind and talented massage therapist and healer. She worked me into her schedule to help relieve severe back pain I developed from my recent move to the area. I felt amazing and completely renewed after a 90 min massage. I highly recommend Kris and am thankful for how much she helped me.

Asha O.

Kris was amazing. I've been to other massage therapists and I've never had a massage as good as the one Kris gave. I got a 60 minute massage but will definitely get a 90 minute next time.

Donna Smallin Kuper

My husband and I were visiting Sedona and I needed a massage. I usually don’t like to get massaged when I am traveling. I am a massage therapist and am usually disappointed by resort massages. I also have scoliosis and am very picky on who I let work on me. I did a little research and was took a chance on Healing Hands by Kris. I was so impressed by Kris - she came to the condo we were staying at, she was professional, on time and totally prepared. It was so nice to get massaged and not have to drive anywhere after. She asked the right questions before she touched me. Her massage was intuitive and healing. From the minute she put her hands on me I totally trusted her touch. She checked in with me to make sure the pressure was ok and than gave me space to touch in with myself to let my energy get balanced. Kris’s touch is therapeutic, nurturing and loving. You can tell she is really passionate what she does. Thank you Kris, you truly are gifted. I will be in touch when I return to Sedona.

I have been seeing a physical therapist to treat shoulder impingement but wanted (no, needed) a massage therapist to work on relaxing the muscles in my back, shoulders, chest and neck that I have been overusing in an effort to compensate for my injured shoulder. Kris spent an hour focusing on just those areas. I had the best night's sleep in ages that night and over the next few days, I would often forget that I even had a problem with my shoulder. The massage got from Kris was a perfect complement to my therapy. I was visiting Sedona at the time so it was a one-shot deal. But let me tell you, she did her best to do everything she could for me. I highly recommend Kris, especially if you need a therapeutic massage.

I’m a bodyworker from the East Coast so I know what I need and I am extremely particular. I was in rough shape on this trip and Kris got me back feeling great in one session. I have visited Kris on both of my visits to Sedona and have referred clients and family to her when they visit the area. They all raved about her work. Kris listens to your needs and also “listens” to your body. She is a thoughtful, funny, intuitive and skilled practitioner. My only wish is that she lived closer to me. See you next year!

Ryan Steinert

I had a deep tissue massage with Kris and it was wonderful. I’ve had massages monthly for the last 15 yrs or so and I’m pretty picky with my massage therapists and can tell when people don’t understand the human anatomy. After a lot of research I found Kris and so glad I did! Her massage was effective, but her intuitive ability to feel my sticky spots made it healing. Thanks again

Anne Conyers-Hom

Kris is GREAT! Came out to our hotel, gave hubbie 90min, I chose 60min.
Respectful, friendly and perfect pressure. Asks you beforehand what degree of pressure you like, and sticks to it. Recommend to anyone.

Been to probably 30 different massage therapists in my life. By FAR, Kris is THE best massage therapist I have ever been to. This is not a foo-foo massage; Kris gets in there and works you. But wow! The relief was instantaneous - would highly recommend!

Erin Willis

One of the best massages of my life! I'm a naturopathic doctor, and came to visit Sedona on a continuing education retreat. I had some deep healing in one of our workshops, and was looking for someone to help me integrate it physically. Kris was perfect. She helped me to sense deeply what was happening in my body, and I view her to have played an important part in my coming to trust my intuition. Thanks so much Kris for your care and guidance!

Kris is true proffesional , this was one of the best massages I have ever had. She has a wealth of experience and and I had multiple myofascial spots relieved . She knows the human body she is absolute miracle worker , I swear she has magic in her hands . She is also someone who is very easy to talk to and you will learn something too by the end of your massage. If you are looking for a high quality proffesional massage I cannot recommend Kris enough !!!!!

Katrina Tempero

Kris's massage was the most transformative/healing massage I have ever had in my life. She was able to intuitively tune into areas that were deeply in need of release and open them up. I was amazed at how much she was able to shift in just 90m. I'm so grateful I found her!

Best massage of my life! Kris is very intuitive and provided an excellent, therapeutic experience! 10/10 highly recommend!!?

If you are looking for a healing massage, Kris will help. I've seen licenced massage therapists for years and never had my energy move through my body like that before. Kris focused on my deep tissue issues while allowing energy flows within by body to reengage. I am amazed and would come back to Sedona just to see Kris again.

Kris is a top-notch therapist. We were in Sedona for a short time. Kris knew this was a one time appointment; yet, she went above and beyond to ensure our treatment was a healing experience. Both my husband and I have significant neck and shoulder problems. Kris put the focus of our massage in the areas of need. I highly recommend her and wish we had the opportunity to see Kris on a regular basis. In fact, we both remarked that Kris would be a reason to return to Sedona.

I arrived in Sedona on a Wednesday and searched for a masseuse who would come to our air bnb for a much needed massage. We contacted Kris and we’re able to get an appointment right away. I was just hoping to rid myself from some of the stress of a long flight. Well, Kira provided that and more. The massage was excellent. She focused on the areas I asked her to and I told her to let’s her hands search out what needed to be done. This was definitely more than my normal massage. I felt rejuvenated in body, but also in spirit. There truly is something magical about Sedona and Kris helped bring that healing energy to me. I highly recommend!

Brenda Willoughby

I came to Kris in much pain, hopeful that she could help me. It took three massages with Kriss's intuitive hands to give me relief. ( my muscles were so tight, I hardly stretch enough) I cannot say enough wonderful accolades about her professionalism and competence. You will be in great hands on Kriss's table. I am lucky enough to be a local. And I look forward to her keeping me out of pain.

Samantha Frodella

Hands down the best massage I have ever received and I have had hundreds!! We were in Sedona for a wedding and my body could not wait for me to get home. I am so thankful that I was able to get in with Kris. I have never felt better - I want to go back to Sedona just to get a massage from her!

Brenda Eastin Bell

Having sustained trauma to my back and neck I tried acupuncture, chiropractic, and another masseuse with little relief. One visit to Kris relieved the muscular tension and allowed me to move freely again. She's the best!

Jodie Eisenhardt

Super responsive, great communication and an AMAZING massage and point specific energy clearing. What a gifted therapist you are, Kris! Thank you and many blessings to you! Wish I could experience your incredible healing touch on a regular basis!

Kris is very body intuitive and found all the stuck energy in my body. I left feeling like a brand new person. I highly recommend her!

Natalie O'Rourke
Richard Bradford

Kris was wonderful, very intuitive and healing. I had a wonderful experience with her and if given the opportunity, will definitely see her again.

Rebekah Ruano

Oh my goodness!!! The best massage hands down that I've ever had! I highly recommend.

Nick Mundy

Kris is an amazing person with a true gift for healing. I had horrible lower back pain that I’d been experiencing for weeks prior to my visit to Sedona. Kris not only healed me but she also educated me on the way energy is trapped in the body when we injure ourselves physically or don’t fully express and heal ourselves emotionally. This was the the best massage that I’ve ever received!! I’m two days post visit with Kris at this moment and feeling much better!! Thank you, Kris.

I called Kris this AM to request a deep tissue massage before I leave tomorrow on a 3-day drive back to Canada. Simply stated, she fit me into her tight schedule today. I was a wreck when she met me …. I had two shoulders with torn rotator cups, and needing to be replaced. While that surgery has yet to be performed Kris aseesed my condition and performed her magic on my neck, shoulders and spinal column. While I am a work in progress, after an hour Kris had relieved me of the debilitating pain I was experiencing before Kris’ deep tissue healing hands. Thanks to Kris, I feel confident that I will survive the 3-day drive home starting tomorrow.
Kris is truly a professional who takes the time to understand her client’s needs and implement effective remedial measures. I strongly recommend Kris.

Dave Geraci

Kris is very gifted and intuitive! I couldn’t recommend anyone more. Do your highest Self the honor of allowing Kris to truly align your body and spirit!

Kris was experienced and intent on meeting my needs for therapeutic massage and energy balancing. Terrific therapist - highly recommend!!

Great massage, service,

Kris is fantastic. She works out muscle soreness and moves energy like no other. True to her east coast roots, she is direct and gets to the core of issues (with the body and energy) effectively and with compassion. I have seen her a couple times over the last years when in Sedona and will definitely make a point to see her whenever I am back! Powerful and healing.

Karen Lorentzen

We vacation in Sedona, for several weeks each year. Kris was highly recommended to me, by our concierge, 4 years ago, when we stayed in our new villa, for the first time. I requested someone with experience treating neuromuscular disorders and fibromyalgia, both of which cause me pain, on a daily basis, and make traveling very difficult for me. Kris is the first person I call before we get on the plane, and the first person I see, upon arrival in Sedona. Her years of experience and healing instincts will be obvious from the moment your treatment begins. There's no need to tell her what hurts, as she'll discover the troubled areas with her gentle touch, and relieve the pain, with the appropriate manipulation and pressure. Her talent and professionalism are undeniable, rivaled only by her kind and generous spirit. I know how lucky I am to have her in my life. I look forward to seeing Kris several times during our stay in Sedona, as massage is a necessity, rather than a luxury for me. If that's not the case for you, you'll enjoy an extraordinary hour of relaxation and tender loving care for your skin, mind and body.

Jessica Stoner

The best Massage I have ever received. I originally contacted Kris to provide a relaxation massage for my wife for a weekend get-away. She was able to provide that and so much more. I had been seeing a Chiropractor for a couple weeks to work out a trigger point in my back, he never touched it. Kris found the problem area quickly and worked through it very well. My back has not felt this good in 6 months! My only regret is that I don't live in Sedona to visit her weekly. Highly recommended!
She came to our hotel when it was snowing outside, WHAT A CONVENIENCE!
Thanks Kris, you are the best!

Great energy releaser👍👍

The best massage I’ve ever had! Thank you, Kris!

Erin Janklow

"Kris is a miracle worker!  She is a gifted, experienced professional that blends unmistakable training and knowledge with her own channeled gifts.  This combination leads her to deliver exactly what my body needs.  Isaw her initially for pain caused by my sciatic nerve & herniated discs.  I noticed significant differences after every session.  I recommend her most highly. Massage is clearly a gift and a joy for Kris and I am honored to have her as part of my healing team."

"Kris is a genius in her field.   I’ve been seeing her for massages for many years, every time I come to Sedona. Her ability to find the exact spots needed to release tension and pain is truly unique and relief is instantaneous.  I rarely write reviews, but Kris deserves a shout out.   I wish I could give more than 5 stars."

Kristina Paley

"Kris is a gifted massage therapist and a true healer. When it comes to her skill, she is head and shoulders above other therapists that I have received massages from over the years.  She is a wonderful gift to Sedona community."

"Kris is a phenomenal massage therapist.  I was fortunate enough to receive 2 massages from her while I was in Sedona.  I'm a massage therapist myself (18 years) and Kris is by far a master of her craft.  Intuitive touch and fantastic pleasure, calm peaceful safe environment.  I highly recommend scheduling with Kris."
