About Theresa Crisci

Theresa Crisci, founder of Total-balance Life Choice, once had a high-stress corporate job. In 1992, she took a relaxing vacation for the first time in many years. While meditating under the stars, the noisy chatter in her head subsided and Theresa had a powerful realization that changed her life.

At that moment, Theresa was inspired to give up her stressful job and become a massage therapist. Everything fell into place—she began her training immediately, finished in 1993, and started her on-site corporate wellness business in 1994.

Since then, Theresa and her associates have helped hundreds of corporate employees learn to relax, eat more sensibly, take better care of themselves—and, as a side benefit, be more productive at their jobs.
