I'm actually a personal friend of Kendra, and was in desperate need of some body work. I was…read moreactually a bit nervous about having a friend work on me (I don't know why - just a weird hang up I guess), but Kendra is about as professional as they come. She put me at ease, asked me all types of questions about my lifestyle, diet, general body health, etc. Now, my back is absolutely a WRECK. Like, permanently a mess. But Kendra managed to put me in good working order in an hour....I was loosened up, my range of motion was no longer limited, and I felt (overall) HEAPS better physically afterward. I've had many pros work on me before and never reach that level of success. In fact, most have found my back to be more challenging than any normal human being. Kendra had me back to as close to normal as I'd ever expect to get in that single hour session. If you need a serious massage, and want it done by someone who really knows her stuff and puts forth more than the required effort, go see Kendra....she's a life saver!

I was introduced to Kendra thru my trainer at Body Mechanix…read more I am a pretty big guy and routinely struggle to find a massage therapist that can make it worth the time. Kendra was able to perform a great deep tissue massage. She made me feel very comfortable and relaxed throughout...was a great escape for the complete 60 minutes!

Initially I went to Karen because she used to be a computer nerd like myself and I was curious (read: jealous) after hearing the story of her leaving the rat race. Turns out she was a network engineer. Props. She doesn't talk about it much, but Karen left because she got a calling to heal. You say "hippie", I say "shut up." You don't walk from the San Fran tech scene and the $ that comes with it to sign up for massage school on a whim. A "calling" was right. This woman has a GIFT! As her plethora of 5 star reviews attest. Do yourself, your wrecked body and anxious mind a favor...see Karen.

I'm a little skeptical about the methodology/phenomenology of body work , though body workers…read moreclearly are on to something and can successfully address joint/muscle/connective tissues issues that traditional western medicine is very hard put to even diagnose. In any event, I was in a bad way with a knee problem that surfaced a little while after stopping dance class (go figure). The problem was getting worse the longer I rested it. I tried Gramberg simply because she works out of the same building I'm in, and I was panicking over the state of things and wanted to see someone right away. To make a longer story not so long, my knee immediately and dramatically responded. Very hard for me to see it as a coincidence. I've never had that dramatic response after seeing a body worker before. I've since seen her twice more, both times with good results. She's a warm, thoughtful, intellectual practitioner with a very good touch. I could not recommend her more.

A while back, I was struggling with a lot of hand pain and nothing was really helping. I tried hand specific physical therapy, many doctors appointments and an array of other things. The only person who was able to make a dent in the pain was Heather. My sessions with her not only lessened the pain but increased my ability to use my hands in ways I need to. I feel very fortunate to have found Heather and to receive her healing energy. I also really love that she has online booking on her website and it's pretty easy to make an appointment.

There were many awkward pauses and I felt objectified laying naked on the table, so much to the point where I felt like parts of my body were being touched inappropriately. The table was also not very temperate and there wasn't a proper changing room near her studio which is actually more of a closet. I will never return to this lady and would not recommend her. I'd rather go to pretty much anyone else. My body felt in a lot of pain after this massage and to the point where I had to revisit my pt as it threw me off. It felt as though harm was caused to me, and on top of it it's not cheap.

Additionally, she is highly intuitive and empathic and always goes the extra mile to help! Michelle views each patient as a whole and does not simply treat single ailments.

I am deeply grateful for her care and support and can wholeheartedly recommend her!

FULL REVIEW: First off, parking is a pain in this area but fortunately she has access to the ground level garage in the building for clients. My first session with her began with a consultation to figure out what areas of the body and blend of massage techniques she would do. Because my job involves sitting at a desk using a PC the most important area she felt work was required was the upper body. Both sessions I've had so far with her have been great. The first involved finding all the sore spots and her pushing on the muscles to release them as well as hot stones in the middle. The second was a longer session (90 minutes) and began with deep tissue, hot stone and finished with some vibrational work -never had the last one before which was cool. The best thing about coming here is having a bunch of different massage techniques blended into one (something I've never experienced before) and the introductory price is a bonus. The worst thing is when it is all over, boo. I would highly recommend coming to Kristy and I look forward to my next session with her along with making my girlfriend try it out -a professional dancer who is bloody picky when it comes to massages!
