Massage therapy is an opportunity for meditation and true mind body connection. At Root & Rise Reiki, I am able to integrate a variety of modalities to effectively promote deep relaxation and healing especially with women’s health. My approach to massage therapy integrates energy wellness, restores alignment, removes restrictions and enhances vital circulation. This supports every system of the body including pregnancy support, natural fertility enhancement, improved functional movement, reduced pain and inflammation, autoimmune support, neurological and hormonal balance, improved sleep and stress resilience all while complimenting your current treatment plans or health goals.

Thanks for visiting, and have a great day.

"Christine is the most intuitive massage therapist I've ever had. Her technique is graceful and fluid as she pinpoints every sore spot and thoroughly massages it away. She always applies the right amount of pressure and varies her methods as needed. Even the ambience she provides is heavenly, with relaxing music, scented oils, and a warm and comfortable massage table, including luxurious linens. I highly recommend her services!" -Nasreen N. Mundelein, IL
"This was my 3rd experience here at Magnolia Massage & Wellness. I have been experiencing headaches and migraines. I personally feel the head & neck massages have helped me. In addition to that, I also have a herniated disk in my lower back. Christine has incorporated a healing massage for this too. I feel less pressure in my head and a wider range of motion/movement in my body. She’s incredibly knowledgeable. One thing that sets her apart, is she genuinely listens to concerns regard to your pain. She genuinely cares to come up with a treatment plan. She also follows up to what’s working as you go along. Needless to say, I LOVE IT HERE & I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER!!! " -Kim G. Mundelein, IL
"Christine is an amazing wellness professional! She is highly skilled at targeting problem areas, releasing muscle knots, and pairing the massage technique that will work the best to the reported issue. As a fellow healing professional, I'm very selective in who I go to for treatment. I've referred several friends and family members to her for healing services, and she is the only body worker and healer that I see." -Lauren L. at Life in Balance, Merango, IL
"Christine is magical! I had gone to her to late in my pregnancy to help with lower back and sciatica discomfort. I was able to enjoy the last few days of pregnancy relaxed and comfortable. Plus being that I was full term, I am convinced she helped get labor to start with the acupressure points she integrated in to our session. Christine is simply amazing! " - Jessica S. Mundelein, IL
"My stage 4 diagnosis was due to Mets in my lung. I did do chemotherapy and also radiation, the radiation was actually more for the breast and lymph nodes but it did also get some of my lung so on my left side I do have pleural effusion and fibrosis. The radiation did a number on me, personally it's been the hardest to overcome, the skin tissue on my left side is always tight, like a sprained muscle all along my chest. Some days if I move in a certain way it actually cramps like a Charlie horse in my chest and in my back it wraps around and it feels like I can't breathe, these spasms happen all the time and at random times. I am a firm believer in mind, body, soul wellness and I am so grateful to have found friends/massage therapist that have helped me get some of this tissue tightness out. Christine Baade has been a miracle worker, her extensive training and therapies have helped more than I could ever say. The scarring left on my lung really messes with my asthma, a tiny cold turns into immediate distress with afib and er visits. I cannot stress the importance of self exams. It won't prevent breast cancer from happening but it will help you advocate for yourself, the second you notice change is when you act." -Yacy E. Mundelein, IL

"I just had my first massage with Christine this week — what a treat! I had aches and pains from top to bottom, and she was able to find them all and apply the right amount of pressure simply by the way things felt (as opposed to me telling her what to do). And the total experience and ambiance were lovely, from delicious scents to surely the softest sheets made in this world. I can’t wait to go back!" - Debbie S. Grayslake, IL

"After a year of seeing Christine monthly, the pain that was in my shoulder is gone. My hip discomfort has been released to the point that I can now walk up a flight of stairs without holding onto anything and actually have something in my hands as I’m walking. It has been a little bit of a task, but she has been persistent in working on the areas that needed help and I am very very grateful and getting ready to start my second year with her. Christine cares for her patients and is determined to help them." - Marsha C. Mundelein, IL
