About Ouroboros Massage
Health is about so much more than just how we feel physically. True health is about how we feel on all planes of existence: the physical plane, the emotional plane, the mental plane, and the spiritual plane. Ouroboros Massage was born out of the desire to help others, and the idea that overall health must be achieved through looking at the whole; at a person’s past, present, and future; at their dreams and aspirations; at how they are doing in each realm of their life. Only by viewing each individual through this holistic lens can true balance and health be achieved. By incorporating regular healing modalities and therapies, clients can not only get in touch and in tune with their bodies, but they will have an aid on their journey to true health and wellness.

Kristina N. Murray, LMT
Kristina's dream is to change the world one person at a time through healing and health.
Born and raised just outside of Buffalo, NY, Kristina graduated from Clarence High School in 2006. During her time in school, she was always fond of giving friends and family back, neck, and shoulder massages and was consistently met with positive feedback. She debated a career in Massage Therapy for a short time, but instead decided to explore more conventional channels upon high school graduation, attending the University of Buffalo for three years of undergrad before taking a year off to reflect on where she wanted to go in life. In the fall of 2010, she transferred to Buffalo State College, where she studied for and attained a B.S. in Fashion and Textile Technology with a concentration in Apparel Design, graduating magna cum laude in the spring of 2013.
An energy worker for the past 15+ years, Kristina is practiced in various healing methods including receiving her first level attunement in Usui Reiki. She has experience with energy healing techniques using both hands-on and hands-off methods, as well as in-person and distance healing. The love of massage never left her, however, and in 2015 she decided to finally pursue massage as a career at the New York Institute of Massage. It was there that she learned many different massage techniques and modalities to aid her in her path as an Agent of Healing. She graduated in July of 2017 and attained her license shortly after. Her private practice, Ouroboros Massage, naturally grew out of her passion for helping others, and in June of 2019 she took the plunge, leaving her part-time job and going full-time as her own boss. It is her hope that she can help as many people as possible on their own journeys to true health using a combination of Massage Therapy, Energy Healing, and the John F. Barnes' Myofascial Release Approach®.
When she isn't working, Kristina enjoys many exciting - and sometimes dangerous - hobbies including training for her second degree black belt in Krav Maga, fire spinning, acrobatic arts, and hiking. She has three beautiful and friendly furry children: Monty, Nox and Shay.
