A graduate of the Cypress Institute for Massage Therapy and the East West School of Herbology in Santa Cruz, California, she is a Certified Massage Therapist (CMT) and Certified Manual Lymph Drainage Therapist (CMLDT).
Her approach to massage is integrative, drawing from a variety of therapeutic techniques to address each client’s individual areas of concern, support mobility, ease tension, and promote relaxation. Her training and experience allow her to tailor each session rather than follow a one-size-fits-all approach.
She has a deep respect for the traditions of Chinese medicine and Ayurveda, particularly their emphasis on balance and harmony. This perspective informs her approach to bodywork and her belief that reducing physical tension and everyday stress can be an important part of supporting overall well-being.
She views massage therapy as a valuable component of an ongoing wellness routine and places particular importance on building trust and open communication with her clients. She is grateful to work alongside the experienced and compassionate therapists at Massage Therapy Center in Palo Alto.
Outside of her massage practice, she loves nature and spends as much time outdoors as possible.

“I had a massage from Kristi Vincent…It was the best massage I’ve had in a long time! I know massage preferences are personal, but I like firm long strokes and her pacing was just perfect for me. After being prone the first 20 minutes (or so), my sinuses were all clogged up. Without having to ask for it she offered me a pillow when I was on my back. She started to work on my face and instantly my sinuses opened up. I booked my next massage with her already! Can’t wait!”
