Body & Mind Fitness Entrepreneur facilitating Gold Hill Gardens Health and Wellness Retreat personally offering Massage Therapy and leading Mind-Body sessions

Passion and inspiration meet opportunity.

Physical activity, inspiring others, spirituality and having fun in life have been my passion since I was a child. My inner drive to innovate mind-body-spirit was met with opportunity and began my ladder of personal and professional growth in my young twenties. I acquired group exercise certifications and began with prenatal exercise, then I jumped right in with the 1980’s boom instructing fitness classes. It was a time of leg warmers, leotards, high energy and lot’s of WHOOP, WHOOP, WOOHOOS!

Stepping up career expansion into personal training and a desire to understand the movement system of the body in a comprehensive way led me to specialize in corrective exercise techniques. Adventures in triathlons, marathons, hikes up Mt. Whitney and Half Dome bolstered my fitness and added a rung of physical strength and resilience up my ladder of growth. Well-being mind and body qualities lead at the top of my growth ladder which inspired the addition of certifications in Pilates, Yoga, Massage Therapy and Health and Wellness Coaching.

Nurturing the mind, body and spirit hover above my growth ladder and guide my intentions as I have the honor of partnering with others in their own well-being journeys from Group Exercising, Personal Training, Yoga, Pilates, Massage Therapy to Health and Wellness Coaching.

I am truly grateful for the journey of opportunities that my passions and inspirations have guided me with on the growth ladder of my personal and professional life.

Christine Kemper has devoted her career to healing and well-being.  “We need to stay connected because we stand between heaven and earth; head to body, body to soul, soul to spirit.  This is what matters most because this is who we are; this is what we travel this journey of life as.  This is all we take with us.”

Christine certified in 1994 in massage therapy, in 2008 as an NASM personal trainer and lifestyle coach, in 2014 as a Bowenwork Practitioner and in 2018 as an IIN health and wellness coach.  In 2023 she developed a practice-exclusive, all natural skin care line called Ultranouriche to avoid using commercial massage products on her clients.  “Ultranouriche small batch infused oils, massage butters and lotions, as well as my mature skin facial cleansing and enzymatic mask line are literal food for our beautiful body temple.  I use all of my products daily on my face and body.”  The entire line can be ordered for home use as part of her clientele.

Christine specializes in the journey her clients take into their subtle healing energies to realign their bodies, beliefs and lifestyle needs.  “What I practice in my treatment room is lifestyle medicine.  I delve into the client’s body and beliefs simultaneously to open up blockages, adjust trapped fascia to realign soft tissue with bone and bring awareness to trapped emotions that can cause issues with pain management that manual therapy doesn’t always tackle.” 

Christine specializes in chronic pain management of the neck, low back and sciatic nerve/neural impairment, as well as migraines, vertigo, tinnitus and TMJ.  She also focuses on stress management, treatment of insomnia and sleep management.  Hydration, whole food nutrition, daily movement and weight-bearing exercise are addressed as well as hormone balancing in the menopausal and post menopausal years.  “It’s never a dull moment in my practice, even after 30 years.  To watch a sweet soul come into my office with needs and float away with relief is my intention and the joy I feel every time just fills my tank.”

Welcome to my tribe!

My passion is helping my clients achieve their desired goals.

Hello, my name is Tevis Finnegan, I love people and I’m highly empathic by nature. Helping people heal on every level brings me deep satisfaction and joy. My passion for bodywork started at a young age, I regularly massaged my parents and their friends. But, I never thought I would be lucky enough to do bodywork as a vocation and it is a dream come true. I have been doing bodywork professionally for 23 years. I attended the Auburn School of Health & Wellness and was lucky enough to be taught by the legionary Diana Longsdale. In addition to the general practitioner curriculum, I have certificates in positional release techniques & 300 classroom hours in deep tissue therapy. I have also attended workshops at the Massage Therapy Institute in Davis. My studies there included neuromuscular therapy, postural analysis, adhesion & scar tissue release & a deep tissue advanced access course. After getting my massage practitioner certificate,I went to work for Hoffart Chiropractic in Rocklin Ca. While working with Dr. Hoffart I was able to work on a wide range of clients with complex injuries, that experience has been invaluable.

Ketzia didn't choose the yogi life, the yogi life chose her. Ketzia was born into 2 generations of yoga practitioners and teachers. Her mother and grandmother both integrate the physical, mental, and spiritual practices of yoga into their daily lives. Ketzia is extremely grateful for the influences she has had in her life that have inspired her to lead a life that emphasizes health and wellness through movement and mindfulness. She's learned that through the body and the breath, one can unlock many aspects of the self that can translate into living a more conscious, invigorating life.  

As a student of psychology and child development, she hopes to bridge the gap between west and east and continue to share the foundation of why she enjoys teaching and taking part in these practices: to connect with the self and the body with a curious mind and an open heart for healing, health, and wellness. She offers yoga classes and private sessions, is a holistic personal trainer, teaches group fitness classes (zumba, yoga, aqua aerobics, bootcamp, HIIT, gentle stretching), hosts yoga retreats, offers partner yoga for couples and groups, teaches beginner ukulele, and loves her job as a Waldorf subject teacher for Spanish, art, and ukulele. She has a zest for life and is eager to be a forever teacher and student!
