Massage, Doula, Real Estate

Hello! I’m Christina Bailey (They/She) residing in the NC High Country, homelands of the Cherokee and Yuchi people. I am a Licensed Massage and Bodywork Therapist (LMBT) since 2012, a DONA trained birth Doula, a High Country real estate agent with Keller Williams, a community organizer, a local food enthusiast, and a queer, neurodivergent lover of mountains, cats and humans. My mission in life and business is to foster collective liberation, abundance, holistic health, healing and joy in myself, others, and the natural world that we are a part of.

Learning how to be present in this body and choosing to do so is a constant learning process and conscious decision for me. Bodywork changed my life personally before I became inspired to become a therapist myself. Both receiving and giving therapeutic touch continues to be beautifully transformative for my mental, emotional, spiritual and physical health. Healing touch is invaluable and so important in a culture where we emphasize the brain so much. Being one of the most simple and effective healing modalities for many ailments, massage is a powerful tool. I love catering to the various individual needs of my clients and co-creating safe and therapeutic space for my clients to find rest, healing and embodiment. My specialties include myofascial therapy, prenatal/labor/postnatal massage, aroma therapy, reflexology, deep tissue, acupressure, relaxation as well as working through the healing process for specific injuries and pains. 

Becoming a Doula is something that naturally fell into my life as I have always enjoyed working with prenatal massage clients. It is a special and sacred space to be invited into and I feel honored to be able to serve growing families in this way. My role as a doula (meaning servant) is to be as supportive as possible during the process of pregnancy, labor and birth through education, emotional support, art, massage, and anything else I can help with along the way. My intention as a doula is to nurture and inspire presence on this transformative journey while holding space for this experience to be all that you hope for and more.

I got my real estate license in 2020 and have been fascinated with learning the world of real estate. I love connecting people with homes and land in the High Country. My motivation for coming into the real estate world is to help with an equitable housing and mutual aid project called the Vibrant Earth Collective that my heart and soul have been in for some years now. A minimum of 30% of my commissions go towards this and other awesome projects listed on “Collective Liberation” page of my website. As a white person in real estate I feel personally passionate about moving funds from from the real estate world to mutual aid projects that center folks who have been and still are impacted by the inequity caused by colonialism and generations of sexist, racist real estate systems that were created to build power and wealth for white men. As a queer, neurodivergent person, it’s my pleasure to represent some marginalized identities in real estate and be able to help anyone that can relate and anyone who does me the honor of calling me their agent. I love people and I love helping people find homes!!!
