Christi Hester (they/them) is a licensed massage therapist, somatic intimacy coach, and artist. They have been pursuing holistic healing professionally for the past 10 years, including trainings with Diamond Light Massage School, Lotus Palm Thai Yoga Massage School, Skydancing Tantra Institute, Somatica Institute, International School of Temple Arts, and Asheville Community Yoga Center.

Christi is deeply passionate about using massage as a tool to tap into the soul-body and has a sincere desire to encourage healing in the world through embodiment work. They are a toucher, a feeler, a shape shifter, a space holder, an earth rattler. Christi assists both massage and coaching clients in becoming more in tune with their physical, emotional and subtle bodies, opening up opportunities to heal old wounds that are ready for release. They believe in the power of tuning into the body’s innate intelligence and “re-wilding” the soul with fine-tuned awareness to release chronic physical pain, emotional pain, and destructive thought patterns. They emphasize breath, presence, intuition, and heart-body-mind connection in their sessions. Christi’s practice is rooted in curiosity and compassion, as they are devoted to treating each client with gratitude and respect.
