I'd never experienced the kind of pain that I did until I developed sciatica. My nerve pain was shooting down my leg and forced me onto my knees. I was in agony for two weeks. Everytime I moved I would nearly pass out. Reading about it brought very little hope in terms of treatment due to the surgical recommendations that seemed to dominate the web. Jessica works miracles. That's all I know. She got in where the nerve was and when she was done, i was walking again. I can't thank her enough. She knows what's mechanically wrong and how to fix it. This is the woman you need to see if you need help! read more

Jessica is an amazing bodyworker. She focuses on Intuitive Healing and Somatic Emotional Release Therapy. Her bodywork has helped with sore muscles, releasing emotions I was holding in my body, and repairing long-standing injuries. I highly recommend her read more

We were so grateful and lucky to have had Jessica as our doula. Most of my support system is down in SoCal, and so I was quite worried about the lack of support. But as soon as I signed up with Jessica, she was there for me every step of the way. I had issues with my prenatal care, but once Jessica stepped in, she made everything happen. She got my appointments changed so they were more convenient, she advocated for me so that I could get the proper work accommodations when I had bilateral carpal tunnel, and she helped me get a referral to get therapy for when my dog died towards the end of my second trimester. What we thought would be an easy pregnancy and childbirth turned out to be the opposite. My baby girl was born 4 weeks early with significant fluid retention and cardiac issues. But Jessica was there for it all. She was there to advocate for us, she was our guide through it all, and just our rock. Even throughout our long 6 week stay in the NICU, she would check in on us almost on a daily basis. On top of everything she did for us while I was in the hospital, she brought in our mail, checked on our house, walked our dog, and brought us food when we would stay late at the NICU with our baby girl. Even to this day, almost a year after my baby has been born, I still keep in touch with her... because she's just a warm and kind soul, beautiful inside and out. We are so grateful and thankful for her. Oh, and did I mention she gives the best massages as well? Jessica is seriously the best. We love her! read more

I have been seeing Jessica for many years & she never disappoints. She gives the best deep tissue massages I have ever experienced. She is very intuitive & seems to always know what my body needs. I have even shown up with a migraine & with her cranial work, walked out migraine free! Just recently I had the opportunity to get some pain relief from her sound therapy. I noticed the next day that my equilibrium was balanced. A simple everyday task such as putting on a pair of pants would cause me to be off balanced, but now it is not a problem. Thank you Jessica! read more

I saw Jessica tonight for her somatic massage with sound healing. This was THE BEST massage most detailed massage I've ever gotten! I am a runner and do strength training and am constantly in pain. Specifically my whole entire back hurts all the time. Jessica worked so many knots throughout my body and helped realign my spine. I didn't even know I had a knot behind my knee until she worked that part of my body. She definitely has an intuitive touch and such great energy! The space is so beautiful as well and I would recommend the sound healing to center and get your cells moving. I can't wait to go back! read more

I had the most incredible lymphatic drainage massage this week and I'm still feeling relief. I feel so balanced and peaceful. I recommend her. Please she sells Alameda made honey. read more

I get a massage here and there from other therapists but I always come back to Jessica. She uses the perfect amount of pressure, seems to intuitively know what my body needs and repairs more than my body. I always feel nurtured in a profound way when I have a session with Jessica. She is a wonderful massage therapist and I feel lucky that I found her. read more

Jessica has helped me a lot since I was on a car accident back in 2018. Her massage therapy techniques are very varied, and she uses all of her expertise to heal your body, and address any issues each day that I go for treatment. Jessica is also very intuitive and can easily sense what your body needs for trauma recovery. I highly recommend Jessica as a person and as a massage therapist. She's excellent! read more

I've been seeing Jessica weekly for almost a year. She's honestly saved my life! I suffer from major lymphedema in my legs and arms. Her expert lymphatic massage has turned me into a different person. After a visit with her I can walk so much more easily, its amazing. I owe her a debt of gratitude. I'd recommend her to anyone who needs relief from lymphatic issues! read more

Jessica was an invaluable part of our birth team! She helped me ready myself mentally, consider my birth plan and also how it might change with a peaceful and open mind (and yes, it did change and I'm so glad I had been coached to be open to that!). When my water broke but my labor hadn't started, she worked with me and my husband to get things going. She set the mood for labor at home and then did the same at the hospital. Her playlists were everything I wanted and didn't know to ask for. She was with us at the hospital the whole time while nurses and doctors came and went. I don't know what we would have done without her!! She brought food to keep us fueled through the process. Her background as a massage professional really helped her understand how to make me comfortable while I was pregnant, giving birth and postpartum. She also took great photos of the birth!!! I'd use her support again in a heartbeat. read more

Jessica is amazing massage therapist. She is intuitive and sensitive. Have been working with her several years.

Tibetan bowls are a game changer! Jessica's knowledge of the body and intuition have helped my chronic back pain for years. The recent addition of Tibetan bowls and tuning forks are life changing. Feeling incredible ~ read more

Jessica is an experienced and excellent masseuse. She is able to utilize many modalities that she has studied. Her intuitive skills are great. She is the best. read more

Jessica is the best massage therapist I have ever had a session with, and I have had sessions with many others. She knows just the right amount of pressure to give and where to give it. I hold a lot of tension in my back, and after a session with Jessica it completely loosens up and I feel extremely relaxed and rejuvenated throughout my body and mind. Her hot stone work is definitely a treat. You can tell that Jessica really loves what she does and loves helping her clients. My wife and I were recently involved in a car accident. Thank goodness we knew about Jessica! Jessica's healing hands helped reduce the injury pain we suffered and helped us heal much faster. I highly recommend Jessica to anyone looking for physical and mental rest, relaxation and healing. read more

She is absolutely amazing! I have received some of the best massages from Jessica that I have ever had. She is intuitive and is truly the best at giving deep tissue massages. Her use of the warm rocks are incredible. I seem to float out of her office. I consider myself so very lucky to have found her. read more

Jessica is an amazing massage therapist. She has a wonderful calm, loving energy and strong hands. She also is a doula and helped me deliver two of my children w/o drugs! I couldn't have done it without her. I highly recommend Jessica. read more

I whole-heartedly recommend Jessica Catano, of Peaceful Journeys, as a doula. I just had my second son three weeks ago (7/5/2011) and Jessica was an amazing fairy godmother lighting the way through the wonderfully difficult, magical and intense process of giving birth. I would recommend her hands down to anyone searching for a doula and who wants a wonderful birth experience. Context: First, I want to point out that I didn't have a doula with my first son, and though I had a super birth team of caring friends and family, my first experience was basically a protracted nightmare of pain and drugs because no one on my team had the training or experience to assist a woman through the challenges of labor. It's not intuitive! I chose to have a hospital birth both times, and unless you have a midwife (so I hear) you can't expect to be coached or attended to sufficiently by labor and delivery nurses, let alone doctors. So here's what's so great about Jessica: 1.) Jessica will spend time with you and your family learning about your hopes and concerns. She will help you formulate a birth plan based on your personal values and desires. Very important to me, and I think unique in the world of doulas, Jessica doesn't impose her own ideas onto her clients. She is very respectful. She also has a lot of information and experience which I found to be a great educational resource, even though I had already gone through the birthing process once before. 2.) She's a great masseuse and body worker. She is familiar with a lot of different techniques and can shepherd a woman through the stages of pregnancy, helping to ease the body's way up to the big day. 3.) Jessica's main business is as a masseuse and her work as a doula is really for the love of it. Therefore, she never over-books. Other doulas I interviewed had contingency plans in case two clients went into labor at the same time. I never had this worry with Jessica. I had a great sense of security. 4.) Because Jessica took the time to get to know my family, everyone was comfortable with her presence. She also added a sense of calm and security for everyone. When she arrived, she was totally organized, brought food, drinks and props (aids for the laboring process) as well as her cheerful and positive personality. 5.) Getting down to brass tacks, throughout my labor, beginning with uncomfortable contractions, which led to painful contractions, which eventually turned into excruciatingly painful contractions (there is no way around it sisters), Jessica had techniques for manipulating my pelvis, uterus and back that mitigated my pain, and my FEAR of the pain. No nurses, doctors, classes or friends had ever suggested these moves or techniques with my first son, and I can't stress enough how much Jessica's hands-on guidance was critical to my comfort and the relatively quick, and drug-free, delivery of my second son. 6.) Because my delivery was drug-free and quick, the strain on my body and soul, and on the baby was much less traumatic than with my first son. Ok, so everyone knows it's easier the second time around, but I give a lot of credit to Jessica because she actually speeded the decent of the baby by putting me in the right positions as I labored and dilated. Even accounting for the second-baby-is-easier phenomena, I know without her it would have taken much more time and been much more painful. I tore less, my milk came in stronger and faster, the baby was more alert and had a better latch, I healed more quickly and felt much better both directly after birth and as the days have progressed. 7.) Finally, Jessica's rates are very reasonable while the value she delivers is priceless. I urge every pregnant woman who doesn't have a midwife to get a doula, and Jessica is an angel of skill, dependability, love and compassion for whom the job is truly a labor of love. read more

Jessica is an experienced and skilled massage therapist. Her knowledge of the body is obvious when she gets right to the areas that need focus. Not only do I see her personally, but I refer my acupuncture patients to her as well. I have seen her talents speed up recovery of everything from injuries to stress to digestive issues. You can't go wrong with her! read more

Jessica is a master of her craft. :) However, I should *stress* that she is not afraid to use a great deal of pressure. Of course, she listens to your body's needs, but if you are someone who needs major work on your muscles (like me) she is definitely your gal! Her hands are incredibly strong and she seems to know the human body like no one else I've ever been massaged by. I can't go anywhere else--Jessica simply does it better! read more

I can't say enough good things about Jess. I have been seeing her for many years & can't imagine not going to her. She is so in tune with you & what your body needs that it is truly therapeutic in body & mind. So grateful I connected with her!! read more

Jessica is an amazing massage therapist! Very intuitive, knowledgeable and professional. I have scar tissue and pain from a surgery I had 10 years ago on my neck and she is really helping me make progress with improving my ranting of motion and decrease pain and heal. She has a very sweet and calming energy that makes you feel comfortable and relaxed as well. read more

Jessica is an amazing massage therapist, very intuitive about what is going on in my body and she knows just what to do about it. She has helped me heal from a partially dislocated shoulder, clearing up the inflammation and scar tissue, and from other problems and injuries. And the experience is so relaxing that I go into a trance. My body feels wonderful for days afterwards. My appointment is on Tuesdays, so if someone else suggests a Tuesday appointment, I tell them, "I can't--Tuesday is my Holy Day!" read more

I want to see Jessica for the first time today. She took the time to get to know me and find out if I had any areas that needed extra attention. After spending the last few days in front of the computer more than normal, my neck and shoulders were really bothering me. During the massage she did a great job of finding those trouble spots and really working on them. She's incredibly strong, but still gentle enough on those tender spots. Oh, and she finished up with hot rocks, which felt amazing. Not only was the massage great, but her location is really convenient, with parking behind the building. One thing I especially noticed was how quiet it was - none of the noise that you get when you get a massage at someplace like a hair salon. I highly recommend Jessica for your next massage! read more

Ahhhhhhh.....What an amazing, relaxing, nurturing experience! That knot in my neck has met its match in Jessica's healing hands! Thanks to the chiropractor who suggested massage and thanks to a friend who recommended Jessica. Simply the BEST! read more

Jessica's got the magic touch! I met her a few weeks post a car accident that left me with whiplash, and I must say she has introduced me to a whole new realm! I don't even want to think what would have happened to my back, neck, & shoulders had I not met Jessica! More than a few months post our initial meeting I'm still seeing her routinely, and I DON'T WANT TO STOP! read more

Jessica knows her stuff. I'm training for a marathon, and I must say that the day after my 26 mile training run, I was ready to hit the road once again! Jessica knows exactly what to do to minimize my recovery aches. She's amazing at finding those little trouble spots and really works them through. She also pays attention to my specific needs and takes her time to work the problem areas. I can tell she loves her job. A great sports massage. Looking forward to trying her other techniques very soon! read more

Jessica's massage skills are truly exceptional. She combines many different types of massage, delivering a unique massage experience that includes hot stone, deep tissue, lymphatic and Swedish techniques. It's a great chill-out spa experience, an antidote to stress; she crafts her own massage oil blends using the highest quality essential oils, which helps so much with mental relaxation and calming down inflammation. It's also an amazing place to go for more serious injuries. I had a frozen shoulder injury which was nearly disabling, and she was absolutely key in helping me recover, I couldn't have done it without her. She knows how to work deep, and to work through knots and adhesions while keeping the massage feeling comfortable. As a bonus, her office suite was just freshly remodeled with hardwood floors and fresh paint. And she's sweet, warm and always smiling. You just couldn't be in better hands, literally! read more

As a massage professional I highly recommend Jessica's peaceful journeys. She is strong- does a complete and thorough massage with warm towels, aromatherapy and hot stones. She is a delight and has been doing this work for a long time. Her work will change your life and make your day week or month better! read more

I adore her. She's very knowledgeable, as one would expect, but she's also quite intuitive. She's been able to read things about my body that my doctor has overlooked. Just as important to me personally, is that she's got a warm and generous spirit. You feel her warmth the minute you walk into her space. She's a special person and it comes across in her touch. She makes you feel special as well. Every massage I've had from her has been wonderful. read more

Jessica is an amazing massage diva! She was very present and extremely aware of how my body was communicating to her where she should focus her energies. Her soft-spoken nature also helped relax me and allowed me to escape. Don't forget to ask her about her multiple session discounts! Thanks Jessica! read more

Jessica is amazing!! I had a terrible pain in my back and neck and in an one hour session I walked away feeling great, she even gave me a same day appt. I was feeling so good I forgot to tip...oops, I'll give you a double tip next time!!! You were fab. read more

There is no doubt in my mind that the birth of my daughter would not have been as wonderful had it not been for Jessica. Being a doula is truly her calling! My husband and I are so grateful that we found her. In my third trimester, I asked my OB/GYN for a doula recommendation and she sent me to Jessica. Upon meeting her, I immediately knew I wanted her to assist me and my husband with bringing our daughter into the world. She is incredibly knowledgeable about the body and birthing process, and has a warm energy that we were drawn to. I was lucky enough to be massaged 2 times before our birth (a part of her services), and what a treat that was! Jessica has an intuitive touch and really got into my muscles, which was so needed. She also took the time to connect with my baby, and was able to tell me what body parts where where in my belly! Jessica also took the time to get to know my husband and I by coming over to the house a few times. The questions she asked us about our wants for our daughter's birth not only helped her with information, but helped lead us into thinking about our wants/hopes/fears. I was really fearful of having a short labor and not making it to the hospital in time (family history), and she warmly and gently helped me get over those feelings with information and understanding. From the moment I called her when my water broke to after our baby girl was born, Jessica was irreplaceable. She helped guide me through every contraction (after she helped me get them started after my water broke by taking leisurely walks with my husband) and made me comfortable as I labored at home. Her touch and massage are incredible. She aided me and my husband not only physically with a lot of counter pressure on my hips, but also brought beautiful readings, essential oils, and visual aides to help me relax and stay focused. Once we were at the hospital I labored for another 12 hours. Jessica was present every step of the way, giving my husband the confidence and instruction to help me work through contractions, and also massaging me and helping with pressure points and counter pressure. She also brought music, which was so helpful! She kept me hydrated and calm. I know without a doubt that I could not have achieved an unmedicated birth without her! I can't say enough wonderful things about Jessica. I'm so thankful she came into our lives! I would recommend her to anyone and everyone, and look forward to having her as my doula for future babies! We love her! read more

I have gone to Jessica for many years now and everytime I have an ache, she has the right approach to relieve it. Thank you, Jessica
