Owner Christina Aldan of Luckygirl Bodywork announces the expansion of her massage practice to include Las Vegas mobile massage services and throughout the valley, offering bodywork in clients' homes, during events, and in workplace settings.

Owner Christina Aldan of Luckygirl Bodywork announced the opening of her new massage studio inside Beauty & Bodyworks Studios at 9550 S. Eastern Ave., Suite 237. The studio is located within Silverado Park Place, home to community anchor businesses including BJ's Restaurant and Big 5 Sporting Goods.

Finding the right place to welcome clients is important. I chose the Silverado Park Place in Henderson because it offers convenience, comfort, and a welcoming atmosphere. The shopping center is located just off the 215 on S. Eastern Avenue, making it easy to reach from many parts of the city.

When Chris invited me to join a "Cirquassage Event," where I could practice sports massage on Kà performers, technicians, and staff, I didn’t hesitate. Before the event, we had two sessions to discuss expectations and practice sports massage techniques. Sports massage differs from therapeutic or spa-style massage.

During his session, Dr. Shurtleff explored the details of how manual therapy techniques have the power to transform healthcare practices as we know it. Researchers at NCCIH are examining how manual therapies affect the body at various levels, from cells to nerve pathways.

A pivotal moment occurred in May 2019 when the VHA released formal qualification standards for massage therapists. This allowed trained therapists to be directly hired within the system, presenting more opportunities to provide care for veterans battling chronic pain, trauma, or the physical strains of service.

This thoughtful approach resonates with my vision for bodywork. By adopting evidence-informed medicine principles into my massage practice, I can create more tailored and effective treatment plans which lead to better outcomes.

One particular course that captivated me featured a series of insights from leaders at the American Massage Therapy Association's 2023 annual conference celebrating their 80th year. The experts addressed the audience to talk about how massage, along with other complementary therapies, is transforming our perspectives on recovery and whole person health.

Christina Aldan, international speaker and mental health advocate, has launched an updated version of her website, www.luckygirlbodywork.com, to document her current training in massage therapy. The site reflects her transition into bodywork, combining her background in emotional resilience, Mental Health First Aid, and public speaking with a focused study of therapeutic massage techniques.
