I couldn't ask for a better massage therapist. Galina has so much life experience and is so knowledgeable on spirituality, healing, and practical advice. Not only do you get a less stiff neck, but your emotions and mind falls into pure bliss and enlightenment once you hear what she has to say. She is truly a one-of-a-kind professional. Needless to say, this is not your typical massage therapist and I think there's a lot to learn from this kind practice. If you're coming for a massage, you'll find relief. If you're coming to heal, you'll find enlightenment. I would give 11/10 stars if I could. read more

I have severe chronic neck pain and had tried different treatments. After finding Galina through her excellent reviews, I decided to give her a try, and I'm so glad I did. She is certified, highly knowledgeable about the body, and knows how to identify and work on the muscles that actually need attention. Her targeted therapeutic massage has given me significant relief from my neck pain. She is also very professional, flexible with scheduling, and genuinely caring, with such a positive energy. I've tried a few other massage therapists for my neck, and Galina has given me the most relief. I'm very grateful I found her and highly recommend her. read more

Very targeted and effective for deep knots and issues with back shoulder and neck tension. Highly recommend her! She also was very sweet to send follow up exercises to work on tension and flexibility. read more

All I have to say is... OMG. Galina does amazing work! She immediately identified my problem area and focused directly on it to help relieve my pain. I woke up with a severely strained neck--100000/10 pain. I couldn't move my neck at all and was completely stiff. I found Galina online, and she responded so quickly and got me in right away. After just one session, my pain was completely gone, and I was finally able to move my neck again without any pain. I highly recommend Galina to anyone dealing with muscle pain or limited mobility. She is incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and truly knows what she's doing. Thank you so much! read more

I would highly recommend Galina - she's an intuitive healer who understands body type. I booked a last min appointment with Galina. She was very prompt in her communication. She operates out of her home- the room is very clean and peaceful. The massage was excellent. She also followed up with multiple recommendations esp do at home exercise videos. She genuinely cares about people. read more

I was seeking energy healing and after reading a few reviews, I booked a massage. There were no bad reviews on here at all, so I went with high expectations. During the massage, I felt relaxed. Galina was very attentive to the temperature of the room. She checked in with me about pressure level, areas on the body I wanted to work on, etc. When it came to attuning to my energy, she said she did not sense any issues, any anxieties, etc. She said that I was a successful, happy person and everyone loved me. That isn't my experience. I struggle with a lot of emotional pain, anxiety & difficulties especially in my career. This was not an energy healing session that served me. The massage was good, but I was seeking help for my spirit as well. This was my experience. Sometimes there is a mismatch. read more

Felt like a solid visit. I was seen not long after I got there. The assistant helped me settle in and made sure I was good before the doctor came in. The doctor was calm and approachable, went through my symptoms and asked a bunch of clarifying questions. They offered some options and gave me a chance to ask stuff before wrapping up. I like that it didn't feel pushy or salesy. Everything was explained in a way I could understand. I think they put effort into being thorough without overdoing it. read more

Galina was recommended to me by a colleague who knew I was struggling. I have had shoulder pain for over a year and knee pain for around a month. I have not been sleeping for almost a month and physically it was showing on my face. I had gone to the doctors and they didn't really care to hear about my pain. They did an X-ray which showed nothing in those two areas and sent me to the orthopedic who spent only 4 minutes with me. It was a truly disappointing that my doctor didn't truly care to help me. When my colleague recommended me to Galina I was nervous to do a massage but I was wrong. Galina was amazing and really knew what she was doing. She took the time to understand what areas I would like her to focus on and hear my story. She spent more time listening to me than my orthopedic doctor. Galina did amazing and I left feeling really good! Even the day after my shoulder and knee feel no inflammation or irritation or pain. I am so thankful for Galina and she has helped me so much, I finally had a good night sleep. Galina also sent me videos on movements to do to continue to help my shoulder and knee that I appreciate a lot. Thank you so much Galina! Can't wait to come back and I recommend her 1000000%! read more

Galina was professional, and the space was very comfortable. She took the time to ask me what my goals were for the session, and targeted the primary areas I was focused on. Beyond the high-quality upper back massage, the energy works she did seemed to really move some bad energy through and out. I was able to share some of my past experiences and current struggles, and she was able to have an open dialogue throughout the session. Thank you! read more

Galina is truly skilled in energy healing. I first came to see her after she had been working with my mother, who has struggled with chronic illness and pain for years. After trying many different approaches, my mom finally found some relief through Galina's Celestial Healing Therapy. She encouraged me to book a session as I was going through a difficult breakup. I arrived feeling depressed, heavy, and emotionally exhausted. The room/space was warm and welcoming. Galina took the time to ask about my needs and what I hoped to get out of the session. I felt listened to and understood, which helped me relax right away. By the end of the appointment, I felt noticeably lighter, like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders. Galina brings a very calming, positive, supportive energy to her work. The experience was both grounding and restorative. I'm genuinely grateful for the session and look forward to my next visit! read more

Galina is really a gift healer. I would highly recommend her services for anyone looking for a quality massage experience. Well worth it and a wonderful experience. She took the time to focus on the areas I needed help on and has a very holistic view on wellness - I immediately felt relief the next morning. I hope to go again soon. read more

Galina is a true healer! I have lived with chronic pain for decades due to having autoimmune disease. After just two sessions with her I experienced a physical relief in my muscle stiffness and pain but also a release of an overall heaviness my body felt. Galina moved stagnant energy my body was storing. I felt much lighter in spirit afterwards and I'm so thankful I found her! read more

Went to Galina for neck and shoulder/back tension due to construction work for many years, never have felt such relief and relaxation, very amazing and she also gave me pointers and applied a special ointment to a burn that I had received at work. 5 star amazing service. Highly recommend her services whether it is for tension or just relaxation purposes. Priced just right and deserving of a tip! she even went over the time limit to help me in a different area. read more

I am so happy I picked Galina from Yelp reviews. She did such an amazing massage and I really liked that she very much makes you feel cared for. I went in limping due to an Achilles tendon issue and came out with no limp. She is a very gifted massage therapist. A week after my massage, I went to my chiropractor today, she said my Achilles had gone down in swelling and how much healthier it is. She was surprised the improvement is 80%. It is a miracle. Thank you Galina. read more

Galina is an incredibly talented healer. Her touch is intuitive and she is able to modulate pressure to relieve layers of muscular pain. I went in with extreme tension in my neck and shoulders (recurring) which she skillfully released in an hour. If I were local I would see her as often as possible. I will definitely schedule a long session when I'm in town next! Beyond her healing touch she is a kind soul, attuned to people's emotional world which deeply impacts our wellbeing. I get massages often and have experienced them all over the world. Galina is truly one of the best I've ever encountered. read more

Galina is an amazing masseuse and healer. She has a kindness of spirit and her every touch shows the care that she has for her clients. Whenever I have a massage with Galina I feel rested, rejuvenated, and replenished in both body and soul! I love the way she checks in and tailors the massage to how you are feeling that day. When I go in with a specific complaint, I always leave with the issue resolved. She is the best masseuse I have ever had in the last 10 years of getting massages. Don't wait another second before booking a session with her. read more

The Massage therapist was very knowledgeable and able to help me manage my pain. She saw me twice to help with persistent neck and shoulder blade pain. Now it's all gone and thanks to the links to specific stretches she shared with me, I'm able to manage it on my own now. I would definitely recommend celestial healing, and I will definitely go back! read more

Such a therapeutic massage! I came in barely walking because of low back pain and left hip/leg pain...I was floating on the way out. My new baseline has lasted the whole week. Galina is truly a healer. I am definitely going back read more

Galina was fabulous to work with as we scheduled a rather different type of party. We wanted massage therapists for the adults at a baby shower held at a children's activity center. Not exactly your everyday ask! Galina was flexible, responsive, and on time. Everything was clean and the massages were wonderful. Thank you for making our event memorable and happy! We would highly recommend Celestial Healing -- you won't regret it. read more

Galina took me promptly at our appointment time, went through the key areas that I wanted addressed, and made sure to cover each area in turn. I had a couple of tricky areas that needed additional attention, and she spent extra time taking care to address these, even though it took us a few minutes over our allotted time. Upon leaving, my body felt renewed and the pain points I had previously experienced were addressed. As a bonus, the next day she sent me a list of stretches and exercises to try out to further help. Looking forward to my next visit! read more

Galina is a uniquely gifted therapist. She has an amazing knowledge of the human anatomy and physiology coupled with a strong connection to the spiritual world. She is able to gauge between soft and hard pressure depending on which body part she is working on and her techniques are truly masterful. I am so glad I found Galina and I am very excited to continue my healing with her. read more

Galina has miracle hands and a beautiful soul! She really focuses on areas where you need pain relief and always places just the right amount of pressure.

I have been to so many massage places over the years, but no one has compared to Galina! read more

Galina is a miracle worker. I first saw her after a terrible arthritis flare up where my muscles were rock hard. She somehow worked through layer by layer and loosened me up. It was the gentlest yet most effective deep tissue massage I've ever had, and it totally calmed my flare up. I've continued to see Galina for a couple years now including throughout my pregnancy. She gives a wonderful prenatal and postnatal massage. She has special foam supports for during/after pregnancy that make it very easy to relax into the massage. She is an expert at human anatomy and full of positive healing energy. read more

I went Celestial Healing Therapy for very very bad lower back pain and stiffness. Before I went, I was unable to bend down properly and was in constant discomfort. My lower back felt like a piece of hard concrete! Galina was beyond amazing and loosened up my back muscles. She used various techniques and really targeted my lower back and hips. She's very knowledgeable and talked about the specific muscles and which ones were tight. She used different creams that soothed my muscles too. After the massage, I was able to bend! I had so much more mobility! I was shocked at how I could move and even touch the floor to pick up things. I highly recommend Galina for a massage. I can't wait for another massage! She's wonderful! read more

Galina is a very patient and a very talented massage therapist. I have been seeing her for the past 3 months and she has relieved me of excruciating back and neck pain.

A very optimistic person with positive thoughts and energy. I am so glad that I found her and am being healed. How often do you find a person to whom you go with pain and she send you home with a smile? read more

I got both reiki and body massage. Galina is such a kind hearted, beautiful human being. Highly recommend!

I went to Galena with a lower back issue (disc bulge and herniation) as well as a shoulder issue. I saw all the wonderful reviews but I still wasn't sure if she can help me fix my pain in one sitting. But a day later with the results, I am a believer now. She is a miracle worker and is amazing! She worked on my body for one hour. She explained what she was doing as she was working on my body. This morning I woke up with almost no pain in my lower back. I can't express how thrilled I am. I have been suffering with this pain for a long time. So it like dream come true to be pain-free. I would highly recommend her to anyone that's looking to get pain relief and learn more about working with their body. read more

From the initial moments of my first massage with Galina, I knew I was in the presence of a gifted healer. As one who is sensitive to energy, I was delighted to find a therapist who understands how much more there is to our human experience than the eyes can see. I arrived at my appointment in a depleted state after being my father's sole caregiver for nearly three years, and Galina knew instinctively how to work with me. In her comfortable studio, I felt safe, respected, honored and cherished. Through her profound connection to spirit, I was nurtured and replenished on every level. After my massage, I returned home feeling deeply rejuvenated and reminded of the importance of giving myself the same quality of lovingkindness with which I treat my dad. Finding Galina has been an unexpected treasure in my world. I was sorely in need of healing, and life led me into her capable hands at the perfect time. She is a highly intuitive person who is blessed with exquisite gifts. I wholeheartedly recommend her services without reservation. You can expect to be transformed after experiencing the many powerful dimensions of Galina's Pelushenko's work. read more

Galina gave one of the best neck massages I've ever had. I came to her after suffering from prior whiplash and concussion, and my neck muscles were hurting. She has a magic touch to hit all of the right places with the right pressure points, and has a unique holistic approach that is just as much about manual therapy as it is about spiritual healing of the mind and soul. Thank you very much - highly recommend her! read more

Magical experience! I was in so much pain and after the hour massage, everything was gone! The therapist used an expensive therapeutic oil that immediately alleviated my back pain.

I am very very happy that my husband and I found Galina! She offers the best massage therapy in the Bay in my opinion.

We had an amazing experience working with Galina. We had requested her services for our teachers appreciation week. She was very good at communication from the beginning to the end. She arrived on time and had all the necessary equipments for a chair massage. She asked appropriate questions to our staff to meet their needs. Her massage techniques were targeted for each individual. It was definitely a great break in the middle of the day which left our staff rejuvenated for the rest of the day. I would highly recommend her for any private events! read more

As a massage therapist, I love when I get a chance to get work done by a highly talented and knowledgeable MT. Galina takes the time to do a proper intake form to get idea of how to approach the body to best work with the pain. Five Stars and I'm glad that I will be back read more

I found Galina purely by accident while searching for someone in the west SJ/Saratoga area who could do chair massage. I am not a table massage fan due to issues with positional vertigo, but it's really hard to find chair massage! I am very thankful I found her! First, I texted her per the instructions on her site for setting up an appointment. She was extremely responsive and, best of all, very flexible, which I really appreciated a lot considering that I had to change/reschedule my initial appointment a few hours after we first booked it. She was very patient and nice about it! When I arrived, I found her home studio to be quiet and inviting, and she did an AMAZING job massaging my ridiculously tight upper back and neck. If I recall correctly, she called me a "hero" for being able to go about my life with muscles that tight. :D The massage was deep, but I'm writing this review 24 hours later and I'm not even sore. In the past, deep chair massages make me a little sore, but not today. I feel great! Best of all, Galina is a lovely person - very warm and caring, and she really tries hard to communicate properly during the massage to ensure she is hitting all of the right spots, using the right amount of pressure, etc. I don't travel to her area very often, but when I do, I will definitely call her again for a GREAT chair massage!!! read more
