I concur with what others are saying, many times over. I am a licensed physical therapist with nearly 40 years of experience. Her skills are exceptional; and she is not hesitant to refer out to other providers to insure comprehensive care. I have a complex case that requires skilled, knowledgeable, intentional, helpful and caring "hands." Heidi Palient is all that! What a blessing to have her in Fort Lauderdale, FL. SCB, PT read more

I truly cannot say enough good things about Heidi and the massages she offers. Every session with her feels like a reset for my entire nervous system: body, mind, and spirit. From the moment we start the work, I feel calmer. She brings such a grounded, loving presence that makes it easy to breathe deeper, drop my shoulders, and just be. Her approach is incredibly intuitive. She pays attention not just to what you say you need, but to what your body is asking for in the moment, and somehow always knows just how to support it. What I love most is how safe and cared for I feel during our sessions. Heidi creates an environment where it's okay to fully relax, release, and reconnect. I never feel rushed or like I'm just another appointment. She genuinely cares, and it shows in every part of the experience. Whether I'm holding tension in my neck, feeling drained emotionally, or just need a moment to come back to myself, her work helps me feel lighter, clearer, and more whole. It's not just a massage. It's a healing experience. If you're looking for someone who's not only incredibly skilled but also deeply kind, present, and nurturing, Heidi is your person. She has a true gift, and I'm so grateful to have found her. read more

Heidi has been my massage therapist for 10+ years, having earned every bit of that loyalty. She is a comprehensive practitioner, considering not just what can be addressed by massage, but also what other therapies, exercises and treatments will help address the issues that I have had over the years. I'm an active person and with that have come lots of misalignments, chronic tightness, strength imbalances and overuse conditions, all of which Heidi has been able to help me with. While providing exceptional massage therapy in which she is a true problem solver, she has also directed me toward supplements, home practices for flexibility, a strength coach and a chiropractor, all of which together have made an enormous difference in my body health. read more

Heidi is the most amazing massage therapist I have ever been to. I've had long term issues with my back and hips, which were exacerbated after my c-section. Heidi was instrumental in helping me understand my body, releasing tension, and making recommendations for other things I could do at home. I don't think I'll ever find anyone as good! read more

Received several massages over the years from this provider. Very thorough and excellent service; does an amazing job at evaluating and resolving pain issues through bodywork. Well worth the cost compared to other cheaper service providers who aren't thorough enough and aren't able to resolve muscle and pain issues. Highly recommended! read more

Heidi is by far the best massage therapist I've ever been to. She is so well educated on the body and identifying the causes of pain/discomfort. She has kept me healthy for running long distances for years now. I can't recommend her enough. read more

Heidi is a gifted massage therapist. She can easily pinpoint the exact source of my pain. I am always blown away by her talent and leave my sessions feeling cared for, restored and so relaxed. She is all about lifelong health, not just the time spent on her table. She has also shared valuable information on exercises, stretches, vitamins and minerals that I've incorporated in my life and I am better off because of it. I always look forward to my next appointment! read more

Best MT I've gone to in my 35 years getting MT in 3 different states.

I am speechless. I went to Heidi after reading the other Yelp reviews and I have to say they are all accurate. I have been suffering from chronic upper back and neck pain for months. I had this constant urge to want to crack my neck even though I knew it wasn't going to crack. Heidi has hands of steel! After an hour of pressure points and working on my joints and muscles that urge is gone. I already feel a million times better. This is true physical therapy massage. Not that foo foo massage I've been disappointed with in the past. I felt like I was walking on air when I left, the pain has subsided, and my back is relaxed. I recommend her highly and I'll be going back monthly to keep the issues at bay. read more

I haven't had the pleasure of a massage with Heidi, so you may wonder why I'm writing this. I contacted Heidi at the last minute and, while she was unable to squeeze me in in the brief time I was in the area, she went above and beyond in her response. She recommended another massage therapist in the area, but even more amazingly sent me video to help me self treat the problem we discussed. She treated a total stranger with care and generosity; I can only imagine how wonderful she must be to her regular clients. read more

I went to Heidi yesterday and she is AMAZING!. Must have worked every single muscle in my body - ones I thought I never had. Felt so much better immediately leaving the studio and I learned a lot. read more

Heidi is a miracle worker. She knows a ton about the human body and knows how to address pain and tightness and tension. I've seen her twice now and am so impressed with her knowledge and technique. Truly a therapist not just a masseuse. She knows anatomy and nutrition and mineral deregulation and gave me some exercises to do at home to alleviate tension. She's also very nice. read more

I've been having lower back pain, on and off for years. Have tried chiropractic, physical therapy, acupuncture and they've all helped to a degree. Heidi is the first practitioner who is actually getting to the root of my back problems, rather than running through "Treatment Protocol #43" which is a one size fits all solution. My trainer recommended Heidi, and boy was she right. My hour with Heidi is always informative, educational and even though the therapeutic massage can be painful, my sessions are enjoyable. Little details like email confirmations and a bottle of water at the end of my massage show Heidi's attention to detail. The best recommendation I can give, is that after 3 sessions, my back is really getting better. read more

Heidi is awesome. The massage was personalized to work on all of my trouble areas (which are multiple). She gave me plenty of tips to use on a daily basis. The massage was thorough and left me feeling invigorated the next day. read more

I've been working with Heidi for ~4 months. Heidi bring a whole new meaning to massage therapist and I wish Yelp would let me give her 6 stars. Aside from quickly curing my shin splints which plagued my running for three years, she has me on a better diet, she has me taking minerals, she has me excited to stretch every night, and she has me feeling better than ever. I've been doing triathlon for 6 years and have been getting slower and slower year over year. My body has felt like it's falling apart. Not this year. With Heidi's help, stretching recommendations, mineral supplementation, and general her expertise in literally everything to do with the body, I'm setting PR's in all distances. I'm convinced it's more beneficial for me (mentally and physically) to go see her than to do any training. I don't know how she does it but Heidi is truly the best. Not only is she an A+ masseuse but she's an A+ person and constantly goes above and beyond. GO SEE HER. You will not regret it. read more

I have dealt with chronic lower back pain, muscle spasms, frozen shoulders, and a tight neck for the past 7 years. Part of my treatment has been massage therapy. I have been treated by therapists who are adept at what they do however I feel that Heidi is truly in a class on her own. She was extraordinarily knowledgeable, quick to notice and continued to identify some macro concerns that have been contributing to my situation, and was able to listen to my body so well that she needed no cuing on pressure or anything else. Not only was she able to relieve my tension, I feel confident in how to prevent it from reoccurring in the future through gait modifications and targeted stretched and exercises that we discussed. I am very satisfied with the work that she does and will recommend her to everyone I know who receives massage. read more

Suffering from what felt like a pinched nerve caused from seized up muscles, Heidi proved to be a miracle worker. This was my first visit to see her and I was very impressed with the time she took to understand the situation, my past experiences with massage, and my health/exercise status. She addressed some problem areas that no one had ever identified before and set me on the path to a quick recovery. I will definitely return. An outstanding technician. read more

I've been to many massage therapists over the years and i have to say that Heidi is outstanding. As a very active 55 year old (cross fit, swimming, tennis, yoga) Heidi can assess and move to the source of whatever is going on. She has helped me through injury, overuse, tension, -- she can easily respond to what shows up... deep fascia work... or more relaxation oriented, either extreme, she is something special. i highly recommend Heidi and LIfestream. read more

Heidi Palian is pretty amazing. My wife had been using her for massage therapy--not the soft feel good rubdown, but for deep tissue muscle release--and recommended that I spend a few sessions with her. I had developed significant tightness and inflexibility from years of working out hard in the gym, especially in my shoulders which had been constricted by adhesions from multiple surgeries. After only 12 sessions I can say she's done what no physical therapist came close to doing over more than 1 and 1/2 years of therapy following those surgeries. I can actually raise my arms almost to heights they had reached before I developed shoulder problems, and my whole body feels dramatically more flexible from the deep tissue work she does. I can't imagine where i'll be after 6 months of this treatment... read more

To truly appreciate Heidi, you gotta simply go to her. Heidi has a gift for what I would call genuine medicinal massage. Her pressure point therapy is a healing experience. That's not to say you can't get a wonderful spa-like relaxation-oriented massage from her -- absolutely you can. But for me, an active middle-aged mom, I need serious help with stress and aches and tightness carried throughout my joints and muscles. As a nurse, I am a huge advocate for massage as part of both muscular injury recovery and regular self care. Heidi has a wide breadth of knowledge and strong hands, but most important, she listens and pays attention -- both to what clients say we need, as well as what our bodies tell her. I probably could have skipped listing my aches and pains because she could tell exactly where I'm having issues by how I carry myself, how my spine curves, how my hips are tighter on one side. I have gone to sports massage specialists. I have been treated to high-end spa massages. Nothing compares to what Heidi does. I leave my visits feeling worked over...in the very best way. She is getting to deep tissue problems that have honestly been building for years. After my first massage, I immediately purchased a five-pack thinking, "Whoa, my body absolutely NEEDS this!". So, just do it. Make an appointment. You'll be so glad you did. read more
