Reviews

Real reviews from customers who love Muscle Melt and Christella’s massage services.

  • Amy B. (Martial Artist, Mean Girl, Self-defense Instructor)

    Christella’s massages are healing for the body and soul. I practice judo and krav maga between 4-5 days a week. Sometimes my shoulders and hips are so sore and locked it hurts to do anything, walk, sit, or fight. She asks what my problem areas are and gets right to work. She slays through my knotted-up muscles like a Samurai. After she’s done, I feel taller, stronger, and not so grumpy. The Muscle Melt is not only effective but leaves my skin feeling refreshed, not gross and heavy like many other products do. I just spent the last week taking the falls for self-defense instructors and my neck hurt so bad I had a headache. The Muscle Melt worked like a charm, no more headache.

  • Marquita V. (Massage Therapist, Team Abel Board Member)

    My name is Marquita and I absolutely love the Sensational Muscle Melts by Christella. I have extremely sensitive skin and I have a condition called cystic eczema. This means that anything that is too oily or too condensed makes contact with my skin, it would cause my skin to instantly have a flare-up and instantly break out in pimples and develop blackheads. I am able to use the Muscle Melt by Sensational due to its all-natural ingredients and that it is made up of a lighter oil that allows me to put this on my body after the shower and my skin soaks it up and my muscles tend to relax. I like to apply it to my skin at night before bed and I tend to sleep better when doing so. I also love the cinnamon type of smell to it. It gives me edgy girl vibes. Love it.

  • Abel D. (Athlete)

    For many years, I suffered from scoliosis. As an athlete, it was excruciating at times, especially during competition. After visiting this particular massage therapist, my situation improved drastically. Not only was my pain going away, it was also improving the overall curvature of my spine. Now I’ve been afforded the opportunity to decrease the curvature in my spine and completely get away from the pain that I suffered for many years. The massage was above expectations and very personable. Beyond typical massage there was a great deal of energy work, which was long-lasting compared to traditional massages.

  • Kelley (Marathon Runner, Mother of Two)

    I have been a client of Christella for 7 years now! I always recommend Christella as a massage therapist because she is extremely knowledgeable in her work, very professional, and a wonderful person (not to mention an incredible athlete!). As a runner, Christella’s athletic knowledge has truly helped me feel prepared for races or helped alleviate any injuries with a combination of her customized massage and stretching. She will tailor your session to help with whatever you have going on and is attentive to your needs. She is also an excellent pregnancy massage therapist as well! I have been a client of hers through two pregnancies and she completely accommodates and customizes the massage treatment through all stages of pregnancy. Christella is hands down the best and I will continue to be a client of hers for years to come!

  • Katie D. (Personal Trainer, Paralympic Athlete)

    Christella has helped me tremendously as an athlete. She’s great at pinpointing the exact spot that needs work and has many different methods she tries to help. She’s helped me recover when I’ve been injured and has helped me avoid injury by working on tight muscles. She also helped me a lot during both my pregnancies. I had back and hip pain during both and her massages helped so much to relieve it.

  • Mario R.

    I’ve been working with Christella for over 10 years. I was going to Massage Envy and was about to leave until they paired me up with her. She is so amazing! Her hands are very strong and the deep tissue is like no other I’ve had. Her massages have really helped with my back, neck, and hip pain. She’s very understanding and listens to what’s really hurting and will work to figure out what’s best to help with the pain. She has worked on many of my family and friends over the years without any complaints. I can’t think of getting a massage from anyone else!

  • Brittany H.

    I can’t speak highly enough about Christella. She is very friendly, personable, and professional. Her ability to meet my individual needs for massage is unmatched. She was able to adjust her pressure of massage by recognizing the tiniest of flinches in my body without me needing to say anything. I went to Christella monthly to biweekly during the last trimester of both of my pregnancies, and I feel as though her massages helped me to have quick and healthy deliveries. I cannot praise her services enough!

  • Lauren H. (Aesthetician)

    Christella’s pressure and flow are amazing! She always finds the knots and helps ease my tension! It’s usually so hard for me to relax, but she makes me feel comfortable and listens to my concerns. After being in a car accident last year, the Muscle Melt was my savior! It really helped soothe my pain and make it manageable.

  • Rebekkah M. (Third-Degree Tae Kwon Do Black Belt)

    Christella is amazing with her massages and Muscle Melt product. I have been going to Christella for massages for over 3 years now and I cannot imagine going to anyone else. She is amazing! As a martial artist, she knows exactly how to help other martial artists like myself. She is very caring and has helped my flexibility immensely. My instructors can see a difference whenever I see her. Her Muscle Melt is great after a long day of working out, exercise, a long tournament, or just a day of working in the office. I love everything Christella has done for me and my training and relaxation.

  • Lisa

    Christella’s got the magic hands! I have tried several massage parlors and it’s always just been “okay.” I never stuck to one person or establishment until I met Christella. After each session I laugh and tell her that it hurts soooo good! I sleep soooo good after each massage and feel brand new! I wish I could see her once a week, but I settle for once a month. Christella is 10/10!!!

  • Christine (Judo Athlete)

    As an athlete, recovery is just as important as training, and Christella has been a key part of keeping me performing at my best. Her massage therapy has helped me recover from intense workouts, reduce muscle soreness, and prevent injuries. She has a deep understanding of how the body works and always knows exactly what areas need attention. Since working with her, I’ve noticed a huge improvement in my flexibility, mobility, and overall recovery time. The Muscle Melt Salve has also been a game-changer. It provides deep relief for sore muscles and tight spots, helping me bounce back faster after training. It’s the perfect complement to her massage work, effective, soothing, and fast-acting. If you’re an athlete looking for real recovery solutions, I can’t recommend Christella enough!

  • Karen W. (Teacher)

    The Muscle Melt salve worked wonders on my low back and shoulder pain. Christella is a master at her craft. She studied my diagnosis and implemented a plan to work out my muscle spasms. Whether it’s massage or stretch, she knows how to bring relief and keep me moving.

  • L. M. (Senior Software Consultant, 2024 Paralympic Silver Medalist)

    Christella and I have traveled all over the world in the past Paralympic quad, and I can attribute much of my recovery and success in the Paralympic quad to her massage therapy. Her experience as a Paralympic medalist gives her another level of insight into her practice. In terms of effectiveness, efficiency, and unique experiences, Christella is one of the best there is.
