Christina Bargholz, LMT
Christina lives in Wayne with her two children and three labs. She graduated from Wayne High School in 2007 and then went on to earn her Bachelors of Science in Human Service Counseling at Wayne Stare College in 2010. After working in her field of study for awhile, she realized she still wanted to help people but in a different capacity (something less stressful).
Being a massage therapist was something she always wanted to do, so in 2015 she completed her massage therapy education at The Bio Chi Institute of Massage Therapy in Sioux City, IA. Shortly after graduating she passed her boards, became licensed in the State of Nebraska, and opened her practice in Wayne, NE and has never looked back!
In 2018, she opened a second practice location in Pender, NE, working alongside Dr. Karissa Johnson at Align Chiropractic, and now at The Valley Day Spa.
