Who is Lifetouch Massage Therapy?
My name is Christine (Chris) Smith.
I first opened Lifetouch Wellness Studio in 2012 in Richardson, Tx
I have always cared about helping people. My journey began when I was working as a Home Health Aid while going to school to become a Personal Fitness Trainer. I graduated at the top of my class and quickly became one of the most requested trainers at my gym. During my time at the gym I also became a Senior Fitness Instructor, and a Yoga instructor. I also continued to learn as much as I could about the human body and how to help it function at its highest level. One thing led to another and I ended up discovering Massage Therapy and how it could enable me to help people in a whole new way. After completing the Massage Therapy Program at The Texas Center for Massage Therapy in Richardson, I opened my own wellness studio and began supplementing my work in the Fitness Industry with Massage Therapy. Helping people through Physical Fitness and then Massage Therapy has been my passion for the past 15+ years.
Lifetouch Massage Therapy in Denton, Tx was established in 2021 after a challenging 2020 due to CoVid19. Since that time, I have grown my Massage Practice beyond what I could personally handle on my own. I now have 3 other therapists who share office space with me and have recently hired 2 additional Independent Contractors. My hope is to one day be a major provider for Massage Therapists who wish to jump from being employees to having businesses of their own. Bridging the gap between these two extremes for Massage Therapists is my ultimate goal over the next 5 years.
On the Personal side of things-
I have lived in Denton, Tx since 2017. I have 4 children, one of which is a teenage boy and lives at home with me. The others are grown and live all over the country. I am a brand new Grandma of 3 absolutely amazing grandchildren. I love spending time with them, having adventures and traveling. The Mountains are my favorite! All the mountain photos you see on this site were taken by me personally while on one of my many adventures.
One of the most challenging adventures was Climbing Mt Kilimanjaro many years ago. That was a life changing experience. That is when I learned that even when it seemed like I could go no further and would fall short of my goal to reach the top, my guide asked me "Can you go one more step?" I said I could. And I kept going one more step, and then one more and then eventually, finally - I was at the top of the Mountain. The sunrise at the top of this page was taken at the top of Kilimanjaro! I was truly Living My Best Life and it happened with the help of my amazing guide who believed in me and believed that I could go "Just one more step"!
This became my new personal mantra. Anything is possible if you don't give up and just take it One Step at a time..
So now I help others Live their best lives - One Step at a Time.
Thank you for reading, and I look forward to seeing you at your next appointment.
