Integrative Massage

Integrative Massage is a personalized approach to bodywork that combines techniques from multiple massage modalities to address your unique physical, emotional, and energetic needs. Rather than following a one-size-fits-all routine, I draw from various methods, blending them into a customized session.

This approach supports healing by treating the body as a whole, recognizing the connection between muscles, posture, stress, and overall well-being. Integrative massage therapy is ideal for managing chronic pain, reducing stress, improving mobility, and promoting long-term balance and health.

  • Ease muscular aches/pains

  • Alleviate lower back pain/sciatica

Prenatal Massage

Prenatal massage is a gentle, supportive practice that honors the natural rhythms of pregnancy while nurturing both body and spirit. Thoughtfully adapted to each stage of pregnancy, this massage uses safe positioning and intuitive, flowing techniques to help ease tension, encourage circulation, and support the body’s changing needs.

Sessions focus on relieving common areas of discomfort such as the lower back, hips, shoulders, and legs, while also helping to reduce swelling, calm the nervous system, and promote deeper rest. Beyond physical relief, prenatal massage offers a peaceful space to slow down, breathe, and reconnect with yourself and your growing baby.

  • Relieve lower back, hip, and pelvic tension

  • Reduce neck and shoulder discomfort

  • Decrease swelling in the hands, feet, and legs

  • Support healthy posture as the body changes

  • Calm the nervous system and reduce stress

  • Promote deeper relaxation and improved sleep

About Me

Hi, I’m Christian Molina-Godinez, founder and owner of Manos Sagradas Integrative Massage Therapy. I was born and raised in Pilsen and proudly honor my Indigenous-Mexican heritage, a culture that profoundly shapes how I understand and approach healing.

My path to massage therapy began early, watching my Abuelita perform sobadas in our family living room. Those moments planted a seed that has since grown into a lifelong calling rooted in tradition, intuition, and care.

I received formal training at the Berkana Institute of Massage Therapy and continue to deepen my work through Alchemical Alignment and an apprenticeship in curanderismo. These practices deepen my trauma-informed approach to massage therapy, where touch becomes a tool not only for relieving physical tension, but also for reconnecting with the energies and resilience of the body.

Intention plays a vital role in my sessions, helping clients slow down, reconnect with their bodies, and tune in to how emotions, memory, and stress live in the body. Each session is guided by presence, thoughtful touch, and a deep respect for every individual’s unique journey.

When I’m not in the treatment room, you’ll likely find me outside with my dog Logan, biking around the city, or practicing danza azteca.
