Kristi Millner, B.Sc., RMT
Kristi has been a Registered Massage Therapist since 2006, after attending WCCMT in Victoria. She joined Madrona that year, the following year took over the practice as clinic owner. Since then she has expanded the practice to include 3 more RMT’s. She finds her career extremely gratifying and is always amazed with what Massage Therapy can do for people.
In her years of practice and continuing education she has applied a variety of different methods, including Myofascial Release, Trigger Point Release, Swedish and Pregnancy Massage to name a few. She strongly believes that the effects of massage therapy are cumulative and help with preventative measures. People become more “body aware” once they start taking better care of themselves and reduce bad postural and lifestyle habits.
Kristi loves yoga, running, photography, the great outdoors, her dogs and having a healthy lifestyle because as she says “you only get one body and you need to take care of it”. You may often see her being walked by one or both of her Weimaraners around the streets and beautiful parks of Sidney.
