Bebe is a beautiful healer who helped me overcome an extreme fear of the cold. I've been wanting to try cold water therapy for years now (have you heard about the benefits?!), but couldn't get over the mental block that I had. As soon as I felt the ice cold water on my arm or leg, I bolted out of the bathroom at lightning speed. Bebe taught me the tricks that I had no clue about, helped me develop an affirmation for each time I went into the cold water, and guided me through my personal barriers. Her gentle, thoughtful, and science based approach helped me to finally face my fear. read more

Bebe is a natural and one of a kind. She is very skilled in many areas of healing; massage, sound bath, and mediation. I'm not a calm person and rarely sit still or find time to be present. After just one of her sessions I already feel more connected to myself and being present for my family. Highly recommend Bebe!! read more

I did a soundbath with an infrared mat underneath and I felt very calm and relaxed after. I like Elizabeth's approach, she played the mineral bowl and a little bit of chimes, but mostly the bowls which I enjoy. It was not faux-tainment healer stuff, she tuned into what sounds were needed for us. I would highly recommend Elizabeth to anyone I know looking for some heart healing, emotional balancing or general wellness. I thought she had a gifted loving presence and touch. I was only in town for a short while, but I wish I could go back in person and book more with her. read more

Elizabeth gave me an incredible one on one sound healing experience. She obviously is a very skilled practitioner/healer and I felt honored to share space and receive her work. I left the session feeling as if all my cells had been infused with powerful medicine. During the session, I felt so much peace, bliss and entered a wonderful meditative state. My body had been craving this kind of deep rest for a long time. Highly recommended! read more

Elizabeth is an adept healer and natural intuitive who helped me work through some ongoing issues around stress and anxiety through a reading. Though I'm skeptical about the idea of connecting to spirits or other non-physical entities, I found great value in the reading and the information Elizabeth was able to help me connect to within myself. Elizabeth took the time during our session to ensure I felt grounded and connected before diving into the questions at hand. I was impressed with how well she created such a serene and productive environment via Zoom! As a result of our session, I came to new insights about my issues, including both actionable tactics to use on a daily basis as well as bigger picture strategies to think about things differently. I left the reading feeling supported, loved, whole and seen. I'd definitely recommend a reading with Elizabeth to anyone who wants to learn more about themselves and how they can grow or overcome their struggles. read more

Bebe was magical! had an amazing sound healing at a private residence and it was wonderful!

I was struggling with an ongoing sprained ankle, and Portal Healing helped me physically, emotionally and spiritually. My ankle was able to release the sprain trauma and sprain stress via an essential oil massage, sound healing and energy healing! I am so grateful for the skill sets, talents and innate gifts of Elizabeth! Sound healing allows our body to release efficiently and effectively old wounds, traumas and stress. We do not just hear with our ears, we also hear with our bones and cells. Highly recommend! read more

I really enjoyed my sound bath experience with Elizabeth. Our group was intimate/small and she opened up with a nice icebreaker that not only grounded myself but brought focus to those I was sharing the experience with. I was encouraged to get as comfortable as I wanted to and I brought all my things and nested in for what was a very grounding, relaxing and yet revitalizing experience. Can't wait to do it again soon! read more

Of course, I enjoyed my sound bath experience but even more so, I was so happy to see my 13 year-old daughter feeling so peaceful after the experience. We both can't wait for our next time with Elizabeth! read more

Elizabeth is one of the most gifted and down-to-earth healers I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. I treated myself to the raindrop aromatherapy treatment, and felt completely reborn. Elizabeth takes her time, we chatted for a long time beforehand to talk about where I wanted to see a shift in my life, and brainstormed very practical ways of how to get there. The treatment itself left me deeply relaxed, it was hard not to fall asleep because of how relaxed I was! I felt happy and reenergized after, and deeply relaxed at the same time. I highly recommend this treatment for anyone who would like to shift something in their life and needs a fresh perspective and mental reset. And before I forget: the treatment included some massage as well, and Elizabeth was so good that I can't wait to also book a regular massage appointment with her soon. I am so happy I've found this gem of a healer/therapist, I will be back soon! read more

What a gift to have Bebe here in Austin! She is multi talented in so many healing modalities, creating a whole mind/body/spiritual experience. read more

Elizabeth really takes the time to evaluate what you're most interested in learning so our instruction felt very personalized to our needs. It was fun and we had a great time learning an abundance of techniques. It felt super nourishing and Elizabeth really took the time to correct positioning so we were taking care of our own body while learning to also take care with our partner's. She's thought of everything and really pays attention to the details, like healthy snacks and printouts so you remember each technique. I haven't had a massage from her yet, but after getting a sampling from her demonstrating techniques, I would really love to. Her knowledge is as a solid as her grip (very!). She also is so great about checking in and seeing how things are going. I would definitely take her class again! read more

Have done a few sound baths with Elizabeth and they're great. She is attentive and mindful of each group and their needs. Had some really insightful moments through working with her and will continue to attend! read more

Do not underestimate the power of aromatherapy!! I needed a mental reset and some physical relaxation to deal with some personal life stuff. I was blown away by the impact of a "raindrops" session with Elizabeth. This is not your garden variety nice-smelling chill out. The session was truly therapeutic on a level that was way more than skin deep. Elizabeth created a safe space for me to be vulnerable, so I could really connect with myself. During the prep before administering essential oils she walked me through some questions that helped me recognize what needed to go, to make room for the shifts I wanted in my life. Even not knowing her well, Elizabeth's support and assistance allowed me to make some profound realizations that I took as a mantra into the aromatherapy section of the session. Recommendation: 1. Want more than skin-deep relaxation? Try the "raindrops" aromatherapy treatment with Elizabeth. 2. Be open to going deep with the shift you want to make, knowing this woman is a pro. Wise in more than massage! 3. Plan some quiet time after your session, you'll want it. read more

Elizabeth is a wonderful healer with an amazing personality! During this covid time, everything is not person to person, which is hard. We spoke on the phone and I had a great experience! There were things Elizabeth would mention I only had in reoccurring dreams and completely relevant to me. She guided me with some grounding techniques that worked wonders! I felt more spiritually connected then I have in a long time. And to me that spoke volumes considering this was a phone call. I would highly recommend anyone to Elizabeth looking for an amazing spiritual healer. She has a wealth of knowledge and a ton of heart. read more

Elizabeth really knows her stuff! I was impressed with the way that the whole 2 hour session went. She took her time, slowed down to make sure that information that was coming thru to her was correct, have me some critical information that i really needed and throughout the whole time, she made me feel completely at ease. It was a wonderful session and i can honestly say, she is one of the most gifted people i have been able to come across in a while. I'm definitely going to be using her services again. read more

Elizabeth you give the best massages EVER. They are so relaxing. I love how you found the pressure points that put me in complete relaxation. I went completely limp. You have a gift in healing people. And your raindrop massage from put me on cloud 9. I need to make time for another one! read more

Healing hands at their best!!! I've received 3 massages with Elizabeth so far and wow what a treat! She is really intuitive in finding out exactly what my body needs to come back to center. My job is really physical so I get lots of kinks and knots overtime. Elizabeth has successfully been able to put my body back together again. She also showed me some stretches to do at home that would help keep everything ironed out and happy. Her space is also very quiet and quaint, the perfect place to come and relax. Thank you Elizabeth read more

I had a wonderful first visit with Elizabeth. She was welcoming, intuitive, and her studio was a calm, restful space. I appreciated her reminders to focus on breathing, and clearing the mind. I will absolutely return to this delightful "nest" so near to home. She found all the knots and went at them, checking to make sure the pressure was right. Delighted to have found her. read more

My husband and I had a private couple's massage lesson with Elizabeth today. She is awesome! Here are some things we went over: - Several different techniques applicable on all parts of the body - Areas to avoid or be extra gentle with - How to keep your own body comfortable and safe while giving massage - Communicating while giving or receiving massage - How to use pillows and blankets at home to set up a space to massage - Customized lesson based on our needs: She asked us how we usually use our bodies (what do we do for work and exercise) so she could focus on areas that we knew needed work. She is really friendly, honest and approachable, and I felt comfortable letting her know if I had any questions or was feeling awkward with a technique. Her instructions were clear, and she has the depth of knowledge that is important for teaching. She was supportive and encouraging while also offering helpful criticism in a kind and constructive way to make sure we would be practicing safely, which was what I really wanted. She's also very intuitive and knew what techniques would work best for our bodies just by watching us work on each other. The rate for the private lesson was totally reasonable, and I would definitely go to her for a massage or even another class. Highly recommend! read more

We did a couples massage class with Elizabeth a few months ago and really enjoyed it. Elizabeth is a great teacher - she was very calming, approachable, and patient. She explained different techniques and how to structure a massage really well. Elizabeth also had some great tips and tricks to make giving a massage comfortable (without getting tired), and she gave us several personalized pointers that really helped. We left with a handout that was essentially a condensed version of what we went over and very helpful. My husband and I are both looking forward to getting massages from Elizabeth in her studio soon, too! read more

Just came back from my second glorious massage at the Wellnest Studio. Elizabeth is a magician. She has a great disposition for a massage therapist and tries to make you feel calm beyond even her calming massage. Glad to have a sole practitioner available who has takes pride in her work. You just don't find the same consistency at the bigger massage studios. Thanks Elizabeth! read more

Equally valuable as both a relaxing massage and a 'please fix me' massage. I tend to wait until I'm in a lot of pain to get bodywork, and Elizabeth fixes me every time. Best part about it is, she really has a knack for creating an environment of wellness and relaxation, even when I ask her to focus on a specific area. I have found in the past that it's often one or the other, and I just love how well she is able to cultivate both elements in the same massage, and to do it exceptionally well. read more

If anyone is in need of an amazing mama massage, I highly recommend Wellness Studio in San Rafael. Elizabeth is incredible, very zen and will focus on specific areas. She has such a calming presence. I had the worst knot in my shoulder after giving birth that she helped me get rid of in 2 sessions. She gave me exercises/stretches to do at home which also helped a ton. She genuinely cares about giving you a great massage, but more than that, helping you achieve overall wellness for the long term. She also does house calls for only $15 extra which is great for mamas with babies at home. Treat yourself! read more

I had a 90 minute massage with Elizabeth and it was amazing! She was so in tune with what my body needed. Her technique is unique. I came in with an injury and left feeling amazing. The studio is nice and peaceful. I will be going back. read more

Elizabeth is super kind and welcoming. I was running late for my first appointment, but she didn't make me feel rushed or like our time would be cut short, instead opting for some friendly conversation so we could get to know each other as I looked over my intake forms. I've had a few massages in my life but I've never been able to communicate clearly what my problem areas were or what I wanted, beyond the standard "what pressure do you like" question. Elizabeth asks her clients to fill out an intake form that covers how you're feeling, if you have any particular concerns, a brief relevant medical history, and a few other questions. Elizabeth made it clear that I only had to answer to the degree I felt comfortable, but she does read what you put down and ask clarifying questions, so it's in your best interest to be honest. As for the massage itself, it was fantastic. It's been three and a half hours since I left and I'm still so relaxed I can hardly move. (I have no idea how I drove myself home.) Elizabeth checked in with me regularly about pressure and sensitivity (I'm ticklish) and when we discovered I tend to flinch when I get touched unexpectedly, she worked with me to maintain contact, announce her movements, and when she took oil breaks she always returned to exactly the same place she left off. She also found a couple of previously unknown-to-me tender spots and soothed each one until it could be massaged without issue. We kept up a conversation through the beginning of the massage, but I tend to become nonverbal as I relax, and she was very accommodating of that. I didn't feel pressured to keep chatting, but she did continue to check in with me and graciously accepted mumbled "mm-hm"s in lieu of verbal confirmation. Overall a fantastic experience. If I wasn't moving out of the country next week I would absolutely become a regular. read more

Elizabeth is a healer. I've seen her with a sore upper back, shoulder pain, and she's been able to relieve nearly all the tension. Elizabeth communicates well and is very professional. read more

I was recently gifted an amazing experience of a massage with Elizabeth. I've had massages before but this was unlike any that I've ever felt. Elizabeth is the kind of person whose energy you want touching you. I walked through the door feeling disconnected and left feeling whole. Thank you Elizabeth for being so good at what you do. I live in Southern California but I would gladly travel the distance to San Rafael to experience your professional and heartfelt expertise again. read more

I got a 2hour long massage from Elizabeth and it was worth every mins and dollar I spent there. It was thorough and totally relaxing as well. She has the touch and right pressure. read more

I got an hour massage with Elizabeth and just fell away into this relaxing blissful state. Her space is beautiful and inviting. She made sure to check in with me asking if the pressure and temperature were okay for me. I can feel she truly cares about providing a relaxing environment for her clients! My sinuses opened up towards the end of the massage, which was a great bonus. Next time I see her I'll be sure to add half an hour because 60 minuets of bliss was just not enough! I highly recommend her services and I am looking forward to seeing her again! read more

Did a couples massage class with Elizabeth at Glow Yoga studio. My fiance and I had a great time learning tips and tricks to give each other a massage. I really appreciate the thoroughness in which Elizabeth made sure we were connecting and learning the techniques. I recommend this class to any couple! read more

Elizabeth is the best masseuse in Marin--actually the best that I've ever been to. Not only is she wonderfully intuitive about what the body needs, she is a true healer. I have a habit of holding stress in my shoulders and have done so my entire life. Now that I've been seeing Elizabeth every month (my new gift to myself) that pattern is leaving me. I'm standing taller, breathing deeper, and feeling better than I've felt in years. What I love about Elizabeth is that her focus is on the work and on you--there is no pretense of any kind. She works the body in masterful ways. Her studio space is charming and exudes her wise, inviting, and kind energy. She is a gem of a practitioner. read more

Wonderful massage. I can't wait for my next visit. Elizabeth is a joy to be around and provides great energy. Highly recommend!

I have visited Wellnest twice (so far) for a massage. The first visit was during a terrible head cold. The massage relaxed my mind, improved circulation, and most important relieved my congested sinuses. The second visit was a follow up to the first and an attempt to relieve the tension in my back (desk job!). Both experiences where very enjoyable and much needed. The pressure was spot on and massages thorough. A real effort was put forth to make sure I was comfortable physically and relaxed mentally which really made the experience so much more beneficial. The first massage was 90mins and the second was 60 mins. I recommend the former if you can spare the extra time. I will be returning soon I hope. read more

It was a terrific massage - she asked exactly what was going on with me and totally catered to my needs. She checked in about pressure often, as well as neck placement. She even took the time to debrief me afterwards on what she did and taught me a little about my body. Would certainly recommend. The studio in San Rafael was very cozy and welcoming. read more

I hired Elizabeth do to chair massages for the parents at my 2 year old's birthday party. She was on time, professional, warm and inviting. Everyone who was massaged by her was extremely happy. It was a wonderful bonus that she does prenatal massage. My pregnant guests were thrilled. I would recommend Elizabeth for any event you may have or a private massage. She is wonderful. read more

Elizabeth- thank you again for a life changing massage today. You truly have a healing touch!!!

Elizabeth is fabulous. Her sensitivity to the needs of my body and her professionalism left me feeling invigorated and rejuvenated at the end of my session. I wholeheartedly recommend her. read more

Elizabeth is amazing! She gave me a wonderful massage after I had my son. She was very intuitive and knew just where I needed the work done. It was very easy to communicate my needs to her to maximize the experience. I don't often feel substantially better after one session but I did with her. I would go back to Elizabeth over and over for any massage needs. read more

Out 100+ massages I've received all over the Bay Area, this was one of the best. If I could I'd go to Wellnest Studio every week for a massage by Elizabeth. She's extremely gifted. read more
