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!!!!

She did some visualizations verbally to help me settle in. I kept seeing images while I was getting massage similar to when I got my chakras cleansed. I wish I booked a 90 minute massage instead of 60. I told my husband that I wanted to book a massage for him but he said he didn't need one so I'm gonna book an extra long massage for myself now that he doesn't want to go. I also wished I showed up earlier to browse the cute store front and all the products they had. I found myself kinda hungry before the massage and I was able to buy a healthy snack for a reaonsonable price before my treatement. $4 for 3 chocoolate covered dates with almond butter. Yumm. And the room I got my treatment in was sooo cute.

Her home studio was inviting and relaxing and very convenient to get to from downtown Grass Valley. Most of the time I get annoyed with prenatal massages because I'm such a deep tissue girl normally that prenatal massages tend to feel ineffective and too gentle for my taste. But Karri's technique, though extremely gentle, was very effective at relieving tension and even helping reduce swelling. By the next day, I noticed a big difference in the amount of swelling in my feet and hands (due to being 8 months pregnant). Yay! I found Karri to be responsive to my needs and had a great experience.

This last session I had specific needs because of an auto accident I was recently in. Auto accidents can leave your body in a very sensitive place needing the utmost sensitivity and care so as not to cause further trauma. She was very attentive to the specifics of what I wanted to achieve and how my body needed to be handled during the session. I felt very relaxed and was so relieved to get some relief from the intense and constant pain. The session Usha provided was such a huge comfort that I feel compelled to pass on the word and give her a rave review. I highly recommend her and cant say enough great stuff!

Kim knows what she's doing, my neck had been giving me heck for 5 weeks; I was so tight, Kim had to use her full body weight on a couple of upper back muscles. Kim answered all my questions, put up with me talking for 90 minutes and managed to loosen my neck-heck. She recommended a couple of exercises and some salve. The word for the day was "Stretching". Very nice, very knowledgeable and very good at massage. I highly recommend Kim.

I have now received two of the most nurturing, soft yet, deep massages, that soothed my body and soul. I deeply appreciate her ability to sense what the client needs. Which ultimately affects the essence of a person. This is where I can feel Vive working on a whole other level of consciousness. As a Reiki practitioner, I bring Reiki to the session because I can and I believe in it. I've never asked her about Reiki so she maybe she already has that training, but regardless Vive meets me with the same healing energy that I recognize as Reiki. Perhaps it's unconscious but I don't think so. I believe Vive is simply special because she naturally flows the Reiki energy I understand, as well as a technically proficient massage. After these sessions, I feel deeply seen and spiritually connected. This helps me on so many levels. I let go, I surrender, I feel safe enough to relax, my body softens and my soul rests, it's so healing! Thank you Vive!!
