Massage By Christine Bellini

I hate to write negative reviews about a company, since I have a startup myself, but I feel compelled to write reviews for companies that don’t hold up their end of the bargain. I purchased a ‘Reader City’ deal for an hour massage. It is very similar to a Groupon deal. The first time I called Christine was an ok experience. I called to schedule a massage and I scheduled one several weeks out.
Everything seemed to be fine. However, I called the morning of the massage to confirm the times of our appointment and no one answered the phone. I was called back an hour later, at the time of our first appointment, and was told that she would not be able to provide the massage because of a private matter. At this point she offered to reschedule or offer a full refund. This seemed like an ok solution, but obviously not ideal since we had planned our day around these massages.
So, I promptly call Christine back… no answer. I leave a message with my intentions to reschedule and never receive a call back. After a week, I call her back several times to no avail. I sporadically call her five to ten more times over the next few weeks and even email her once. Not a single call back or returned email.
Regardless of the private matter, a business owner should have the sense to return emails, calls or simply change your voicemail response to reflect your circumstances. I see more and more companies these days using Groupon, Living Social and Reader City as a marketing tool and then doing a horrible job of meeting customer demands. If you can’t provide a service, don’t sign up to one of these sites.

Chrissy is Amazing! She is warm and friendly and definitely knows what she is doing!!! You won’t be disappointed… ;)

Since I live in Nor Cal, it is great that Chrissy is now working up here every month or so. I love her style. She does wonderful deep tissue, or Swedish if you prefer. She has already learned my body after 2 massages. She uses hot rocks that are just amazing. I totally recommend her for the best massage you’ll ever have.

I went to Christine after getting recommendations from friends who see her regularly and claim she has the magic touch. I was not expecting to agree with everyone on every point, as massage is a personal and subjective art, but I was amazed by just how many of the comments I wanted to echo after my first session. She is very in tune with her client and completely willing to follow the direction she gleans from the body. Nothing feels predetermined or routine with Christine. And she uses just the right amount of verbal confirmation to ensure every minute is going towards the key areas of concern. I left my session feeling like I was floating on a different plane and very much look forward to my next session with her!

It’s not often you find a massage therapist that has strong hands yet a soft touch. Christine is a gifted therapist who can quickly relax muscle spasms, and her use of hot rocks further extends the benefits. Her massage is a peaceful experience and you will leave feeling great. She is a classy lady with a great personality — you will not be disappointed!

I normally do acupuncture because I can’t bring myself to relax enough during a massage and it ends up hurting or doing more harm than good. I received a gift certificate for Chrissy so gave it a try, and she was amazing! I have been back twice now. She is the only one who has been able to massage me in the way that my body apparently needs to relax, and thus I can feel the benefits from her massages. She is also very sweet and genuinely concerned about your health and your opportunities to get the most out of her massage. Highly recommend!

I had been looking for a Massage Therapist for the better part of a year. I tried things like massage envy, and other chains, plus the random ones I see around town. Everyone had their own style but non of them could actually make me physically feel better and fix any issues I had. Sure they are relaxing, but I need to fix some muscle pains and knots! Some 80lb Thai lady running up and down my back just isn’t going to cut it.
I was referred to Christine from a friend of mine who said she was good. So I gave her a go. The room she has is decorated nice, the music is relaxing, and the place smells like a piece of heaven. I dress down and hop on the table, and I am covered by a soft sheet blanket, not some stiff, starched out, medical blanket.
She starts in on my back and it doesn’t take her long to find the large knots in my upper back and digs her elbows into them. A mighty battle was raging on my back and after a few minutes, Christine emerges as the victor! An enormous sigh of relief was heard for blocks away from me. It was at that moment, I knew I found my girl.
I have since referred her to family and friends. My mother and father are both seeing her on a regular basis as well. If you wish to experience wellness, then do yourself a solid and go see her. Do it now, and don’t wait. Your body needs this.

Christine Bellini is hands down the best massage therapist I’ve seen and I’m now a regular client. She focuses on learning your body to ensure she works on your individual problem areas. She is present in every moment of the massage and truly puts all of her energy into it. After my first massage with Christine I honestly felt like a brand new person. She is incredible and I give her my highest recommendation.

There are many — MANY– massage therapists in San Diego to pick from. I have gone to two others, one very good and the other so-​so. I’m a golfer and I enjoy having a massage to a) recover from muscle fatigue and b) relax. That being said, I decided to try Bellini’s massage on a recommendation. Christine is professional, courteous and knowledgeable. Important to me is that she is naturally intuitive to feel the condition of your body and know where to work as well as working what you ask. She is very attentive to the pressure that is comfortable to you. This is super important to me so that you can fully relax. (I’ve been to others that just dig in when you say a ‘littler harder’…) The room is clean and neatly arranged. It is just the right amount of Zen without trying to be a Tibetan retreat. I highly recommend you try Massage by Christine Bellini if you are still looking for your go-​to masseuse.

Out of this world relaxation! I came to Chrissy for a massage and OMG I left all of my tension and cares behind. Her room is very zen and the bed… is like laying on a cloud. She communicated very well about pressure and made me feel comfortable right away. I could tell she knew what she was doing from start to finish. Best part: Warm towel & hot stones. I felt like my body was melting. I loved my experience and am thankful to find someone who doesn’t make me uncomfortable & tense like a lot of people do. My kinks are out and I am ready to conquer the world! Thank you Chrissy! I will be back soon!
