Kitrina Hunter- owner and massage therapist

Kitrina Hunter, L.M.T./Owner
Kitrina received certification for therapeutic massage in 1992 from the National Institute for Muscle Therapy in St. Louis, Missouri. She developed a large, very loyal clientele within the first few years of practice. Kitrina became known for her aggressive no nonsense deep tissue therapy. During these early years she realized the need in Southern Illinois for a tranquil office dedicated to massage therapy. Other like-minded therapist expressed interest in practicing in an office such as this so Kitrina established In Sync Mind Body Therapy Center in 1994.
In Sync began as a four treatment room facility with a large space for personal development classes. Kitrina’s vision grew as her clients expressed an interest in receiving affordable spa services in a relaxing environment like the offices for massage. She and her staff of four certified massage therapist received training in a variety of spa services. They created face, hand and feet treatments using organic botanical products. Body wraps and exfoliations also became very popular.
Kitrina realized early in her career the importance of at least 500 hours of training for massage therapists to be knowledgeable in treating or refrain from treating the conditions for which people came to them. She and other therapist successfully lobbied the city of Carbondale to create an ordinance of licensure until the State of Illinois require one.
In Sync continued to grow and in 2004 the family of therapist relocated to a larger facility located at 2031 S. Illinois Avenue. The staff of licensed practitioners doubled. In addition to massage therapy, In Sync offers Yoga classes, Acupuncture, Psych-K, and a full line of salon and spa services with a licensed cosmetologist.
Kitrina is very proud of In Sync’s wonderful, well-trained progressive staff. Our goal is to expand our knowledge through continuing our education in advanced and alternative therapies. We are dedicated to facilitating the health and well-being of our clients. We feel that by offering a wide range of services at reasonably prices we can helping many people in their quest for a healthy mind, body, and spirit.
Kitrina’s goal is to follow her dreams to fruition and to grow in health and happiness and practice compassion and random acts of kindness often.
