I’m James Chritton, a Bay Area native and experienced bodyworker practicing since 2011. My work blends advanced manual therapies—including Rolfing® Structural Integration, Feldenkrais, and osteopathic-informed techniques from the Barral Institute—with a deep commitment to helping clients move better, feel better, and heal at the root level.
Discovering Fascial Counterstrain was a transformative moment in my practice. Its precision and effectiveness immediately stood out, allowing me to identify and release hidden sources of pain and dysfunction with accuracy and care. The use of cranial scanning and tender points has made my work more refined, responsive, and deeply impactful.
My path into healing wasn’t just professional—it was personal. I found this work out of necessity, searching for answers in my own body and discovering tools I now share with others. That journey has taken me as far as Guatemala, where I studied traditional healing practices that continue to inform my grounded, integrative approach.
Clients describe my work as gentle, effective, and highly attuned.

Kelly Martin is a Licensed Massage Therapist in Elizabethville, Pennsylvania. She owns and operates her private business, Grounded Wellness Care LLC, focusing on providing Fascial Counterstrain (FCS) to surrounding areas of Pennsylvania. Kelly appreciates the opportunity to learn and apply FCS knowledge to help her patients achieve better health through bodywork.
She has served in various medical and first responder roles since 2007. She earned her Associates Degree in 2015 from Copper Mountain College, Joshua Tree, CA. Kelly served on active duty in the Marine Corps from 2017 to 2021. She was injured on a combat fitness test in 2019 and her doctors were not seeing symptom improvement enough to stay on active duty safely. No doctor could make sense of her injuries or symptoms, but Brian did utilizing FCS. His work on her inspired her to help others in the same way, to give hope in healing to those who have been given up on by the traditional medical community. Kelly reentered the medical field by earning her Massage Therapy education through Harrisburg Area Community College in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania in 2023 with the goal of becoming a Fascial Counterstrainer. While still early in her FCS career, she studies hard, practices a lot, and is dedicated to furthering her knowledge and experience to help others heal.
