Our Massage Therapists
Christine Fatzinger, CMT
Christine, Dr. Goldman’s assistant and one of our team’s massage therapists, says that she realized early on that she wanted to help others and discovered that by becoming a massage therapist she would have the ability to heal mind, body and spirit.
She says that she was so thankful to have had the opportunity to attend and complete a 500 hour Massage Therapy Program at the Philadelphia School of Massage Therapy in 2001. “My time spent becoming a massage therapist was truly a life changing experience that I will hold with me forever,” continues Christine. She feels that her pursuit into the field of massage therapy gave her a deep joy that helped her discover her purpose.
Christine says that she gets great satisfaction helping clients escape the stress and tension of life. “I love it when I see a client get up from the table feeling relaxed and balanced… with a rejuvenated spirit,” says Christine.
“I also love my ‘career’ as the wife of David, and mother of two wonderful little girls, Gisella and Layla,” continues Christine. ”I really enjoy the balance of work, marriage and motherhood.”
Christine’s family and friends describe her as a friendly and extremely caring individual, who has a great passion for holistic care. “As a true believer in fate, I am certain that I’m exactly where I should be,” adds Christine, “and look forward to continuing to use my knowledge and skill in massage therapy to heal others.”

Brittany Borie, CMT
Brittany, Dr. Goldman’s assistant and one of the team’s Massage Therapists, says that she became interested in Massage Therapy while she was growing up. ”I was always helping my parents and family feel better from the pains they were having,” says Brittany. “It became my main focus after finishing high school to further my education so I could enhance my ability to help the body, mind, and soul feel balanced and rejuvenated.”
“Since I graduated, I feel more confident and enjoy using different techniques and modalities that I’ve learned,” adds Brittany, “and usually prefer deep tissue techniques, because I feel I can get better results for fixing the problem areas of the body.”
Brittany says that she’s excited to keep learning more about Massage Therapy so she can continue to become better at what she’s trained to do.
Brittany says that she loves spending time with her family and enjoying all the simple things in life. ”I think it’s the best way to stay positive,” continues Brittany. “I love it when a clients tells me how much better they feel after a massage… it puts a smile on my face to see them feel better.”

Michelle Salvatore, CMT
Michelle, our team’s most experienced massage therapist, has been providing therapeutic massage since 1992. In addition to providing individual massage therapy, Michelle has been employed as an instructor at The Philadelphia School of Massage Therapy where she graduated over 80 students.
Michelle’s lifelong interest in health and wellness played a big part in her decision to become a massage therapist. Michelle has been involved in gymnastics for 28 years, 13 years as a gymnast and 15 years as a coach. ”I feel that my athleticism created a foundation for my perceptive sense of the body”, Michelle says. ”Exercise, nutrition and proper body mechanics is imperative for all of us to stay healthy,” continues Michelle. ”My philosophy is that touch and bodywork are essential to a persons well-being.”
Michelle says that her most rewarding employment was with physically and mentally challenged children and adults that she massaged at ALTEC (Alternative Learning Training Education Center) and Wood Services (special needs facility).
“My techniques bring together different styles of massage to create a customized session to meet the specific needs of each client,” adds Michelle. ”I employ deep tissue work combined with passive and active movement, with a special attention to how posture affects our overall health and well-being.”
Michelle resides in Bucks County with her husband Rob, son Deven, and their dog Skyler.

Ariel McCorriston, a massage therapist at Spectrum Wellness, completed her training in six months at Cortiva Institute, which is located in King of Prussia, PA. She was excited when she joined the Spectrum Wellness team in the winter of 2009.
“I discovered massage therapy through my mother’s friends,” says Ariel, “who are massage therapists and Reiki masters.” Ariel says that she felt right at home when she started massage school and knew it was the right place for her to be
Ariel says that she loves getting positive feedback from her patients and seeing them make progress through massage and chiropractic care. ”My favorite technique is deep tissue, because it helps speed up the recovery process by releasing all of the unwanted toxins in the body,” continues Ariel.
“In the future,” adds Ariel, “I would like to continue my education and training and learn other massage modalities, such as Thai massage, Esalen, Lymphatic drainage, and Reflexology.”
Ariel says, “One of things I really love about massage is that I can help my patients de-stress from their hectic lives… even if it’s only for an hour.”
When not using her exceptional talents massaging patients, Ariel enjoys art, listening to music, reading, practicing Yoga, and spending time with family and friends.
