About CedarOak
CedarOak’s Mission:
Helping to elevate peoples’ lives through massage, inspiration, empowerment, and wellness.
Meet Christopher Wood; owner and massage therapist of CedarOak.
My ultimate goal is to help people through the medium of massage therapy. To achieve this, I committed to myself to excellence.
I graduated from the prestigious Okanagan Valley College of Massage in British Columbia, Canada with 3,000 credit hours of education (compared to the average of 600 in the United States).
Since then I have cultivated over 20 years of massage experience and learned additional advanced massage and myofascial techniques.
In the end, this training and experience allows me to provide the massage service you have been looking for.
My Techniques Include:
Swedish Relaxation Massage
Trigger Point Therapy
Myofascial Release
Sports Massage
Lomi Lomi
Fascial Coupling
Manual Lymphatic Drainage
Cupping
Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (Gua Sha)
Kinesiotaping
Christopher on Intention:
“What is the one thing, the one quality, that sets me apart from other massage therapists? Intent. Intention is the key to great massages. What I'm thinking about, what I concentrate on, and what I visualize directly translates through my hands. The stronger my intention, the better the massage. It's that simple.
I have dedicated my entire career to cultivating the strength of my intent. My training, knowledge, and experience allows my hands to intelligently “know” where to go and how to relieve stress and tension. My focus on compassion allows the client to feel comforted and taken care of. Finally, my integrity, professionalism, and strong boundaries ensures the client always feels safe, secure, and attended to.”
“Christopher is an extremely knowledgeable therapist with extensive training. However, the best part of experiencing Christopher’s in-home massage is how he takes that knowledge and uses the necessary techniques to take your body and muscles to a more functional state. Christopher works with your body to help the healing process.”

“Christopher has an incredibly kind and gentle demeanor, his knowledge of anatomy is extensive, and he seems to know exactly where the tension is. If you get a chance to be massaged by Christopher, you will definitely have a great experience!”
~ Kate N
“Because he has such extensive training, Christopher is able to really hone in on the source of my problems. I am always impressed with the outcome of his work, because it means I can get back to work sooner!”
