I had a pampering deep tissue massage experience that combines the therapeutic pressure of deep tissue work with relaxing, spa-like comfort. The massage usually began in a calm setting with soft music, warm lighting, aromatherapy scents, heated towels, a warm massage table. Darby used firm, slow strokes and focused pressure to work into deeper layers of muscles and connective tissue. This helps release chronic tension, tight knots, stiffness, and stress buildup--especially in areas like the neck, shoulders, back, hips, and legs. After the session, I felt completely melted into relaxation. Awesome feeling! Book a session w her right now and u will not regret it. And ...... u r very welcome!!!!

Thus, decided to do body waxing for the first time in my life. From where I grew up, I was taught to bear the pain, beiiing a man. I stood up telling myself that I can do it. As it get started, my body started shivering due to the fact that temperature was cold inside the room. But still, I tried to stick to my honor. The whole process of body waxing somehow, managed to enlighten me. Feeling of chilly weather and a jelly warm with soothing music on the background! My overall experience here was amazing. I did feel like a completely new person. Customer service was appreciative. Made me feel like at home.

The experience was grounding, cleansing, and exactly what I needed. I can't wait for my next visit to Grass Valley, CA! #Ayurveda #WellnessJourney #Relaxation #HealingTouch

This is a great service in our community. Darlene is professional and deeply caring. She explains…read morethe process very well and is kind, gentle and encouraging. Her studio is quiet, calming and spotlessly clean. The equipment she uses is top of the line and the entire process is comfortable and soothing. Darlene is a true healer, she tunes in to what her clients needs are, both physically and emotionally. A doctor at the hospital sent me home with a completely impacted and blocked colon, advising me to take more laxatives. I was in acute distress for two more days, unable to eat, drink, or eliminate. Darlene truly saved my life and helped me more than I can say. I'm very grateful.

I have had over 20 colonics with her now over the course of 4 years, including a 10-day program that included an herbal cleansing kit and a suggested liver flush. All I can say is, WOW! And, thank god I did it! Not only did I see stuff I knew was not good to have inside of me, but her support, education and her wisdom really helped me tie whole-body health together. She really helped me be at ease with myself throughout the process, without any pushiness or overdoing. She held the space and really coached me along the way to better health. I recommend this to anyone who wants to really see and feel a difference in their health, regardless of whatever else is going on. I know that during my detoxing efforts, it was the colon hydrotherapy that took away the headaches, nausea, fatigue when my body needed it most. I WOULD NEVER do a cleanse without this kind of work. A 15-day fast couldn't of happened so smoothly without her help and guidance. I recommend this to anyone, since everyone has stuck stuff in the colon from years of dietary choices and/or stress that makes the colon hold on to crummy junk! When you start to clear out the junk, you really become aware of what is causing a lot of health problems and depleting your vitality. I really do believe Darlene is right about "the colon being the root cause or a main contributor to all health problems"... I keep verifying that for myself in my own body... so should anyone else :) THANK YOU, THANK YOU, DARLENE!

Her massage was truly something special. I've had Thai massages in Thailand and receive massages regularly, but this was on a different level than what I have experienced. The day I got my massage, I woke up in a lot of pain, to the point that I took an Epsom salt bath early in the morning and applied at least 4 Salonpas patches on my most painful muscles. The massage I got relieved all of the pain I was feeling, and totally changed my energy. I don't know another way to say it except that. My body kept tingling during the massage. I don't have adequate vocabulary to describe it, but this is a massage you must experience yourself. Incredible!
