Carrie is a massage therapist who uses Shungite as a hot stone massage.

Suzy has been a massage therapist for 9 years she specializes in Myofascial Release (Trauma, inflammatory responses, and/or surgical procedures create Myofascial restrictions) and craniosacral massage (a gentle, noninvasive form of bodywork that addresses the bones of the head, spinal column and sacrum.

She made me feel at ease, comfortable, and can fully let myself go without judgement. I saw Cherish for postpartum services at home which she provided: Belly Binding, New Mama postpartum massage, counseling, and spiritual rituals. The new mama postpartum massage was amazing. Cherish even helped me massage my breasts where I wouldn't have any milk ducts clogged. My shoulders, hips, and just everywhere feels wonderful afterwards. When it comes to counseling or just having someone to talk to, Cherish, is a great listener and feedback. She listens to you and soaks it all in herself then would suggest or recommend some things that can be taken into considerations. I've purchased Tea 4 Two and boy do I love it! For breastfeeding Mothers who have trouble with their milk supply- let me tell you. This Tea worked for me. I went from pumping 2oz to 4-5oz each session. Hopefully this will work for you too! This tea is sweet and isn't harsh to take down. This tea also helps with soothing your nerves, mood stabilizer, and has the ingredient nettle leaf which promotes milk production!

I have been seeing chiropractors on and off for 20 years. I've lived several places so I've had the…read moreopportunity to experience many modalities and approaches. Here are the pros and cons of my experience with Dr. Kaplan: Pros: - Adjusts exactly what needs adjusting. No more, no less. - Very accommodating to see my husband and I quickly. - After my first couple of visits, Dr. Kaplan called me personally to see how I was feeling. - Affordable care - I had pain in my foot that is virtually gone after several visits. -Friendly and helpful office staff at the Campbell location. Cons: - I found his humor to be inappropriate on multiple occasions. He explained, in front of my husband, that in his Campbell office they have female patients wear gowns, but at the Boulder Creek office they don't have gowns so "we just do the examinations topless." I dealt with it through humor by saying something like, "yeah that's not happening haha." In subsequent appointments, he told a joke about lesbians that had an overtly violent tone, and in my final appointment he ranted that policies around sexual harassment have gotten so ridiculous "you just can't say anything anymore" and "if women are looking to be offended that's what they're going to find." As an example of what men aren't allowed to do anymore he said, "Like, I'm trying not to look at your boobs right now." This is demeaning in any context and beyond inappropriate for a doctor to say to a patient. I felt incredibly uncomfortable. - Although the adjustments were mostly helpful, in one appointment he adjusted my neck and I immediately got a headache. It was pretty severe with the pain referring to my eye. I told him and he looked up from his note-taking to say, "Well, I'm not going to do anything that GIVES you a headache," (AND YET HERE WE ARE, WITH ME HAVING A HEADACHE I DIDN'T HAVE TWO MINUTES AGO). He totally dismissed my concern and went back to writing his notes. Any other chiropractor, massage therapist, acupuncturist, or physical therapist I've seen would have said, "OK, let me take another look" and reexamined my neck, explained if it was a muscle spasm, etc, treated it if possible, and given me instructions about ice/heat, etc. I hope his student observer filed this away as "what not to do." I had that headache for 2 days, persisting through Aleve and prescription muscle relaxers. I'm not sure why I returned for several visits, but I grew weary of having to push back and attempt to create boundaries in each appointment. Given his positive reviews, he's obviously helped folks and that's great. He did help me with my foot pain. However, I'm looking for a higher level of professionalism in my health care and won't be returning. I let Dr. Kaplan know via email exactly what was inappropriate in our most recent appointment. He left me a voicemail apologizing for making me uncomfortable which I appreciated until he went on to retell one of the more innocuous stories he'd told me and explain why he thought it was funny, that his humor is sarcastic and weird, and that there was no malicious intent. He also promised that if I returned as a patient, he'd TRY not to do it again. Apparently, he cannot say with certainty that he will never again make a comment like, "I'm trying not to look at your boobs right now," and this is why I felt it necessary to leave this review. I believe his apology is the best he can do with the awareness that he has, however the truth is that it doesn't matter what he says his intent is--a doctor can NEVER say the things I've mentioned here to a patient in any context, for any reason and expect that patient to feel safe. It's not our job as patients to make excuses for his off color comedy routine or the fact that he likes to "be sarcastic and push people's buttons." I'm honestly sad that he doesn't get it and I sincerely hope that one day he does.

I am a high energy person, and I have often felt the need to try to unwind. I have had several massages through the years, but nothing like the two I have received from Cristal. Cristal offers: Perfect (deep) pressure, applied intuitively. Magical energy healing! A beautiful, quiet, clean, safe private space I have been on the fence about hands-off energy work, often worrying about legitimacy and efficacy. That is beginning to change now, thanks to Cristal. For the majority of each session, I received a deep tissue massage. Toward the end, I received hands-off energy healing. The second time I received this, I had a lucid dream where I was able to fly! The wind was blowing on my face, and my whole body felt like it was tingling. After that, I had several other crazy dreams -- all in the span of 15 minutes. Cristal is truly exceptional!! I'm so grateful that I found her.

It's a quiet office with a large hallway restroom, complimentary coffee and teas in the waiting room. Being within a Dr's office, it was clean and felt safe and serene. I received the 90 min hot stone massage and opted for the CBD oil add-on. My neck, shoulder and arm pain is something that comes and goes. At its worst, I feel radiating pain and achiness that can continue for several days and disturb my sleep. This time, instead of "enduring" it for several days (and whining to my husband) I booked an appt with Linda. Online booking is super easy and convenient. If you don't know what type of massage you want or need, it's OK! Because Linda will ask you and adjust as needed. When I told her my symptoms, she included some trigger points and stretches! Ahhhhhh She definitely focused on my neck, shoulder and arm (main complaint) but did not forget the rest of my body! ( I didn't realize my lower back and legs were also tight!) The CBD oil did not smell and was a thick oil. She told me not to shower tonight. The only bad thing about CBD oil is that if it gets in your hair, your hair looks super greasy. So bring a hat if you need to go somewhere afterward. Not sure if it was the CBD or the actual massage, but I slept really well and did not wake up multiple times, as I had been doing! My neck and shoulder felt so much better, very loose and I no longer felt the deep radiating ache! I plan to do bi-weekly appts with Linda, as part of my self-care routine!
