Meet Charis
Care Is compassionate and consistent. Care Is love in action.
Charis Christopher is a licensed massage therapist, Trauma Touch Therapist, and end-of-life companion and consultant. She has lived her entire life in the shadow of the Rocky Mountains and has professionally practiced massage therapy for the past five years here in Powell, Wyoming.
Care Is, LLC is a play on her name, and it is also a promise. Her mission is to embody and impart care for the wellness of your body, mind, and spirit, whether that means time on the massage table, somatic listening sessions, or a conversation about death and dying.
Her favorite season is fall, and she enjoys reading with a large mug of whatever is hot.

About Charis
No one should have to consider death alone.
Charis has always had a fascination and a fear of death. After experiencing several losses and personal close shaves, she made the decision that no one should have to consider death alone. She wants to be the difference that she never had. She won’t have all the answers, but she will be there to ponder with you, however that looks.
Yes, Care Is is a funny play on her name. Care Is compassionate and consistent. Care Is love in action. Her mission is to embody and impart care for the wellness of your body, mind, and spirit.
Her vision is to witness acceptance and empower individuals, families, and communities experiencing stress and grief to feel it and grow through it, thriving despite circumstances, and always finding the “gift in the wound.”

Client Testimonials
What clients have shared about working with Charis.
Truly an angel
“Charis is truly an angel. Very good at her ability to sense what areas of the body need help to restore wellness, and also at listening and guiding in conversation to help restore the mind, body, and spirit balance.”
Kelly A.Relief and real strategies
“Charis provides amazing massage services! She begins each session with a comprehensive overview of health history and target areas, and explains what she is doing as she goes. She was able to identify my area of pain, provide relief, and give me additional suggestions for exercises and strategies I could use in my everyday life.”
Anya S.Professional and thorough
“She is very professional and friendly, and thorough in her explanations of the work she could do and how it would be performed. I went in with numerous tight and knotted-up areas in my back, shoulders, and feet. When the massage was done I was completely relaxed and relieved of pain and muscle tightness. I highly recommend Charis.”

Benefits of Massage
Why Should I Receive Massage? According to Associated Bodywork and Massage Practitioners, “Experts estimate that upwards of ninety percent of disease is stress-related.”
As a licensed massage therapist, I offer holistic body massage, an alternative medicine with benefits including:
- Decreased anxiety
- Enhanced sleep quality
- Greater energy
- Improved concentration
- Increased circulation
- Reduced fatigue
- Alleviated pain
- Improved range of motion
Deep Swedish Massage- Long flowing strokes with lotion towards the heart will find and release systemic tension.
Grief Massage- Deep Swedish massage techniques, with a focus on cardiac massage, lymphatic drainage, and breathwork, this type of massage supports the mind/ body/spirit connection while it is processing trauma.
Palliative Massage- This work is incredibly light and gentle, applying lotion to the skin, holding and supporting body parts, bringing warmth and awareness to body parts, and being vigilant of the individual’s personal health conditions, pain levels, and current consciousness.
Trauma Touch Therapy TM- Neither a massage nor talk therapy, this is an advanced bodywork modality designed to meet the needs of those with histories of trauma. This is a body-based, integrative approach to healing trauma; utilizing the wisdom of the body, social engagement, curiosity, and self-empowerment
Add-on Treatments $10
Cupping Therapy uses suction to aid fascial tension release by drawing blood to and away from specific areas of the body.
Hot Stone Massage uses thermo-therapy to warm the tissues, ease local tension, relax the muscles, and rejuvenate the skin.
Sleep Assistance uses a weighted blanket and chilled eye mask with options of a table warm and large ice packs. This creates a perfect 15-minute napping experience after receiving a relaxing massage.
Charis leads you on a certified aromatherapy journey of scents to close out a massage session that brings balance and uplifts well-being to the mind, and by extension, the body.
As a certified crystal healer, Charis will use stones to close out a massage session to reconnect your soul to the earth and revitalize your spirit to experience a peaceful awareness of the Self in the ever-present.
We also provide gift certificates and a variety of self-care products including candles, decision-stone sets, stories in stones jewelry, essential oil blends, and more!
