Wise Wolf Wellness
About Christopher
I have been in the business of wellbeing since 2007 where I began my career as a massage therapist and personal trainer, even though my experience in wellness started much earlier in a way that helped me become the therapist I am today.
In my younger years, I lived outside a small country town in North Carolina, where wellness was never much of a priority as much as a thing to make fun of. I was overweight, filled with anxiety and anger from too many changes in life and a lack of connection. I needed to find a path to wellness and I could only turn to myself at that time. I began my personal journey of learning about wellness through weight loss challenges, chronic headaches, body pains and development of autoimmune dysfunctions the stress. On this journey is where I discovered my deeper desires of learning about the human experience and how to do it better. Since then, I have grown in experience and knowledge in hopes that I can pass along some of that experience to those who need to have their own journey in wellbeing. And yes, I have overcome most of the hurdles, weight issues, anger and anxiety of my young adult life using all the tools I have studied.
The concept for my practice is a comprehensive approach across the wellness field. In simple terms, I believe that our bodies and minds require movement to thrive and for longevity so that we can reach our goals. I study and practice movement in three categories of therapy - massage therapy, physical movement such as yoga and qigong, and meditation.
The goal of my work is to bring clients into a state of wellbeing and awareness that allows the client to have avenues of passive(massage/meditation) and active(yoga/qigong) participation. Each offering has its benefits to bring movement to the body on many levels both apparent and subtle. It does not matter if you are receiving a massage to remove blockages in the body(therefor allowing free movement the body), or a lesson in qigong, you will gain benefit on multiple levels.
My background in each therapeutic modality is vast, but with the ultimate goal of helping my clients. So the ideal client for my practice can be from a range of backgrounds. You may be looking for pain relief and a more medical or sports therapy version of wellness or you may be looking a more subtle meditative and relaxing version. Both are well within my abilities to provide. I have a background of working with chiropractic offices, olympic athletes, pain management, as well as stress management and deep relaxation.
