CHRISTINA RICCIARDI, NYS LMT, NSCA-CPT
Having spent
over a decade in the corporate world, massage therapist and
personal trainer CHRISTINA RICCIARDI is no stranger to
work-related stress and its effects on the body. In 2003,
she graduated from the prestigious Swedish Institute College of
Health Sciences in New York City with a degree in Massage
Therapy, and it wasn't long before this self-proclaimed
professional metalhead became interested in another kind of
heavy metal - weight lifting. In addition to a New York
State license in massage therapy, Christina is also certified by
the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA) as a
personal trainer, and uses a combination of massage and exercise
instruction to help prevent injury, increase body awareness and
improve overall health and wellness in her clients as well as
herself.
In her spare time, Christina is an amateur band photographer and can be found in the photo pit at many a local concert.
