I actually picked Germaine out of the IAHP CranioSacral Therapy Directory, as I'm new to Boulder…read moreand I've found so much benefit from regular Craniosacral (as opposed to chiropractic). I'm very glad I found her, as she is a truly unique and extremely skilled therapist. I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking relief from any physical symptoms (far beyond just joint/muscle pain). This is the kind of preventative therapy that helps people change their lives and avoid all kinds of potential future problems and disease, as Germaine does focus on causal factors and on whole-body health, including the endocrine and lymph systems.

Germaine has extensive experience in both. Besides providing immediate relief after a session, Germaine focuses on teaching her patients the art of self-care and the importance of daily practice at home. Her emphasis on education allowed me to participate more fully in my healing. She offers a trustworthy environment for this to happen. I highly recommend her.

She was…read morevery responsive and fast when I booked an appointment online, she contacted me on the phone a few days before my appointment in order to find out what my needs were and what I was hoping to accomplish during our appointment, as well as more about her process. She did this so that the appointment could be spent receiving the actual therapy. She also followed up a few days later with an email to check in. Linda was so kind and truly cared about the injury she was treating, as well as my well-being and the fact that I was in pain. She was very thorough and focused during the appointment, which was very relaxing and calming. Since I've had the therapy, the pain in my shoulder/neck from a car wreck I was in about 5 months ago has improved by 90-95%. This happened almost immediately, as well. The night after my appointment I was able to sleep without having to constantly shift positions because of the pain. I'm super grateful to have found this empathetic and talented practitioner! I would definitely recommend her!

Liraz provided exactly the care I needed. She is incredibly knowledgeable and took the time to understand my injuries before beginning treatment. What stood out most was her calming, comforting presence and her whole-person approach to healing--addressing not just the physical pain, but the connection between mind, body, and spirit. She was always attentive to my comfort level and never pushed beyond my limits, allowing my body to heal safely and naturally. I left the session feeling relief, supported, and genuinely cared for. If you're recovering from an injury or simply looking for a therapist who combines expertise with compassion, I highly recommend Liraz at Heavenly Embrace Wellness. My only regret is not finding her sooner. I am looking forward to booking with her on my next visit to Boulder. Tara N.

Massages are quite painful for me and Erin really got to the sore spots- but after every massage, I feel all glowy and weightless. She always ensures that I get what I need during our sessions by communicating with me during the massage. She also asks me to breathe and stretch certain areas while she works. I like that she has such passion for body work and continues to educate herself in new methods and practices such as craniosacral therapy. Her rates are ridiculously reasonable for how great she makes you feel!

Her discounted rate for 90-minute session was a bonus because this massage was amazing! Erin also does this energy work too, which I asked for in the massage, and it was pretty cool. Turned into jello and felt my spirit renewed. There is no doubt that Erin masks her magic in amazing massage technique! Maybe she's an earth angel healer in disguise :P You know when you hit that space and time seems to stop and draw out as your workout punishment you do to your body is being ringed and smoothed out? I could feel all the muscle stuff and tension as it left, I just allowed myself to breath through it and enjoy the relaxation. I lost track of time it felt short and forever, but when the 90 minutes ended I felt like a new person. I drank lots of water ate a good meal, and the next day I had full mobility and just the slightest post workout soreness. Back to the gym, hill and then yoga. I have to also talk about Erin! She was warm, kind and understanding not to mention highly skilled. I tend to be self-reliant and like to do handle things on my own but she asked the right questions at the beginning and I felt really comfortable. What I loved was that she seemed to intuitively or expertly find the next upset muscle group and make it normal again and translated my vague description of my trouble areas. I am definitely going back and recommend her to any active person who wants to accelerate the results of training while soothing that painful after effects. The recovery time bonus is reason alone. I cannot recommend her enough!

On top of that, a previous PT session with another person (not Matt) had been a little too rough -- something we didn't realize at the time -- and it made everything worse. The pain spread down my spine and into my ribcage until I couldn't sleep, couldn't move without crying, and couldn't even take a full breath. I was at the point of desperation. From the very beginning, Matt showed extraordinary care. He offered to extend my appointment by an additional half hour, even though he could have easily taken a lunch break. That simple gesture told me everything about his dedication to helping his patients. He didn't just place needles and walk away -- he began with skilled acupressure, using his hands to release and reset tension before transitioning into acupuncture. His approach was thorough, thoughtful, and clearly based on deep knowledge of the body. What impressed me even more was how detailed and holistic he was in his intake. He took careful notes, asked questions that went beyond surface-level pain, and even checked in about possible emotional factors. That meant a lot to me, because in my own work I know how often emotional pain manifests physically. To have a practitioner who not only recognizes that but makes space for it was truly refreshing and healing in itself. And then -- the results. By the end of the session, I could breathe again. For the first time in days, I felt my ribcage expand without pain. He also taped me with strong KT tape to support my healing in the days that followed, and each day I continued to improve. The shift was immediate, but it also lasted, which says everything about the effectiveness of his skill. Matt is not only kind and compassionate, but he has the kind of presence and bedside manner you'd hope for in the very best doctors. He's incredibly well-educated and generous with his knowledge, happily answering every question I had about his work and his field. You can feel his passion for this medicine in every word and every touch. I cannot recommend Matt highly enough. If you are in pain -- whether physical, emotional, or both -- give yourself the gift of working with him. He is deeply talented at what he does, and I sincerely hope he continues this work forever.

Here goes: OH MY GOD, if you go to Kat Shea just for JUST a massage, you'll miss the important stuff. Sure, you'll get the best massage you've ever had, but to get the full benefit of this remarkable woman's talents, you must go with the anticipation that there is more to being healed than manipulation of sore muscles, and you must be fully willing to open yourself up like the lid of life's essential elixir itself. Let go and let her do her thing. If you are able to do that, then you will leave not just with relaxed muscles, but with an inner peace you didn't know you had. She quite possibly (if you're lucky) will change your life. Although it's like asking Chopin to play chopsticks, if all you want is a massage and none of that other mumbo-jumbo, go ahead and do that. She's an extraordinary healer.

You have to activate the account again and cancel with 30 days notice to avoid being charged an additional $120 or more depending on your membership level. In addition, they make it difficult to cancel. You have to request a membership cancellation form and then send it back to them either via email or in person to officially cancel. This is obviously meant to be a barrier to canceling. When I spoke to the GM asking if she could explain their policy that only active members can cancel, all I was told is that it is corporate policy. I asked again if she could explain WHY this is corporate policy and she told me she had and that "I wasn't accepting her explanation" and proceeded to say "I'm sorry about the confusion or whatever this is." These are direct quotes. If customer service was better and if their corporate policies weren't designed to scam clients out of additional money when wanting to cancel, I would recommend them. The facilities are lovely and they have great massage therapists. It's really too bad. Do not spend your money here.

It was exactly what I needed. He intuitively picked up on some imbalances in my body that I've been aware of for some time. I couldn't have been more pleased with the session.
