I come with a lot of knots And tight muscles due to a very active lifestyle and Darby has helped me so much so that I can continue to stay active.

It helps me detox from my long trips and recover. I highly recommend her for her knowledge, technique and because she really does have a passion for what she does. Thank you Darby!!

Simply outstanding. After reading several of the 5-star reviews for Kim, I expected…read moreperfection...and I got it. Nice quiet room with a very comfortable table and some nice quiet music. Kim knows what she's doing, my neck had been giving me heck for 5 weeks; I was so tight, Kim had to use her full body weight on a couple of upper back muscles. Kim answered all my questions, put up with me talking for 90 minutes and managed to loosen my neck-heck. She recommended a couple of exercises and some salve. The word for the day was "Stretching". Very nice, very knowledgeable and very good at massage. I highly recommend Kim.

Kendall is a remarkable practitioner. I have been working with her regularly for a few months now,…read moreand she has provided me with a rich, restorative space to safely explore very challenging experiences, memories, and feelings. Through my work with Kendall, I have safely faced lot of my trauma, developed a much better connection to my emotional and spiritual body, and been able to reach new levels of vulnerability and intimacy in my relationships. She is a gifted and intuitive healer that is working, I believe, in a very important space. While my time with her is always restful and calming, she is facilitating inner work that can be intense and emotional. Before beginning our session, we have a check in about my intentions for the session, what's happening in my life that moment, and how I am feeling in my body. Once the session begins, she encourages me to share feelings, memories, and reflections as they arise during our sessions. Her energy work leads her to uncover areas of tension, blocks or stored trauma. She balances this with somatic breath work and visualization that helps me build a much stronger awareness of and connection to my body. I initially sought out a somatic body worker as a complement to more traditional talk therapy, to help access and work through trauma stored in my body. But I have come to find that my sessions with Kendall are an essential part of my inner work. We are lucky to have Kendall in our community.

I felt called to work with Kendall because I have some energetic blocks sexually that I think are tied to trauma held in my body that isn't normally accessible in my everyday consciousness. The whole session was just held really beautifully and sensitively, from talking over my intentions over herbal tea in her beautiful garden space, to the attention to detail opening the shamanic container in the session room, to checking in about how the session had been afterwards. I wasn't expecting to have such a profound, noticeable trauma release in the session, I experienced cathartic shaking, crying, and releasing of stuck trauma during the womb massage. I never felt alone and Kendall was perfectly attuned to my pacing, I felt safe to feel what I needed to feel and really felt like I was able to let something go and felt more spaciousness afterwards. This is deep sacred work and Kendall guides you empathically and skillfully, you couldn't be in better hands.

Extremely intuitive to what your body needs. I'm 6'6", been hit by a car and played enough B-ball to say I've hit the floor 500+ times. She found all of my pain spots and worked them out with perfect pressure. She asks often if you need more or less. I personally don't enjoy high pressure massages but she's able to do them if you need them. We won't fly up once a month but definitely every 3 months wouldn't be out of the question. If you live in the North Sac, Grass Valley areas, I would only go to Stephanie for massage therapy.

This last session I had specific needs because of an auto accident I was recently in. Auto accidents can leave your body in a very sensitive place needing the utmost sensitivity and care so as not to cause further trauma.

I felt very relaxed and was so relieved to get some relief from the intense and constant pain. The session Usha provided was such a huge comfort that I feel compelled to pass on the word and give her a rave review. I highly recommend her and cant say enough great stuff!

Her home studio was inviting and relaxing and very convenient to get to from downtown Grass Valley. Most of the time I get annoyed with prenatal massages because I'm such a deep tissue girl normally that prenatal massages tend to feel ineffective and too gentle for my taste. But Karri's technique, though extremely gentle, was very effective at relieving tension and even helping reduce swelling. By the next day, I noticed a big difference in the amount of swelling in my feet and hands (due to being 8 months pregnant). Yay! I found Karri to be responsive to my needs and had a great experience.
