Christina (Titi) Martinsen, LMT
Christina (Titi) Martinsen (they/them), is a licensed massage therapist and herbalist. Titi earned their massage certificate from Pacific College of Health Sciences in Chicago, the only school in the Chicagoland area offering massage therapy training specifically through the lens of traditional Chinese medicine, which makes their bodywork training uniquely comprehensive.
Titi is adept at withdrawing emotional pathogens from the body and enjoys working on chronic holding patterns and challenging cases for which people might consider more invasive medical procedures. They are very drawn to Tui Na - Chinese medical massage - and deeply believe in the healing powers of patience, community, and knowledge.
Titi’s experiences as a former college athlete, body builder, coach, and as a human being on this Earth have led them to their passion for bodywork. Their passion lies in helping to integrate mind, body, and spirit. By utilizing healing modalities both physical and incorporeal, they have been blessed to experience moments of peace within their own mind, body, and spirit. Titi hopes to help others find their own peace as well.
