SUPPORT FOR YOUR EMOTIONAL,
MENTAL, PHYSICAL, AND SPIRITUAL WELL-BEING.

THIS IS A JOURNEY—NOT A FIX.

My name is Christine Whelan. I’m a licensed massage therapist, an educator, and someone who has walked through trauma and healing myself.

I created Avila as a space of compassion—not perfection. I offer CranioSacral Therapy, Healing Touch, gentle massage, and yoga for mental and emotional health.

My hope is that when someone visits this site, they feel that it might help them. That they feel safe. That they feel seen.
