Wow. About eight…read moremonths ago the woman that I love developed a nerve condition known as trigeminal neuralgia. TN is an incredibly debilitating disease that affects the trigeminal nerve, which comes from the brainstem and ends up covering one half of your face/eye socket/cheek. It's often called the "Suicide Disease" as the pain from it will drop you to the floor wishing for death to mercifully take you. M was desperate for relief. She described the pain as having ice picks in her eye, both straight on and from below. She'd tried western medicine for relief and was scheduled for brain surgery to basically kill the nerve. That came with very high risks, but she was in such pain that she was willing to give it a try. On the recommendation of a friend, she decided to try Elif and her amazing talents and knowledge. Had I not witnessed this myself, I would be skeptical, but folks out there in Yelp-land, this shit is real. M is without pain now for a majority of the time, and when it is present it is tolerable. Dr. Elif treated with changes in diet, supplements, and acupuncture sessions. M's life is back and she couldn't be happier! She's back to work, life, and love! We owe Elif and her practice credit for making such a life changing impact on the both of us! She's the real deal! Thanks Elif!!! Ken Hutchison 720-425-2407

Boulder Body Balance with Dr. Elif is absolutely exceptional. The level of care and expertise she…read morebrings is the highest I've experienced anywhere in Boulder. Dr. Elif is a true lifetime learner. She brings a rare combination of deep knowledge, compassion, and intuition to every session. She takes time with each client, not only to provide incredible treatment but also to educate and empower you about your body and condition. Every session feels uniquely tailored, sometimes including acupuncture and cupping, sometimes gentle massage or womb work, and often thoughtful support around supplementation. Her work is both art and science, deeply grounding and restorative. Even when my Oura ring shows I've been in high stress all day, within 20 minutes of a session with Dr. Elif, I'm in full restorative mode. She's an intuitive, gifted healer who truly cares. If you're looking for acupuncture or holistic bodywork in Boulder, don't look anywhere else. Dr. Elif is the best there is.

I was staying in Estes Park, CO last weekend and due to last minute massage need I was unable to…read morefind any available appointments for massage parlors in Estes Park. I called in Mary and she was able to accommodate me on such a short notice. Her place is around 30min drive from Estes Park. The drive is beautiful. On reaching the place I found her place to have a very personal touch to it. She has a cute little cottage at the back of her business place that is filled with nice aroma and artifacts that she probably collected from all her traveling. She provide me a very professional massage at a very nominal charges. I think I paid about 60-65$ for a 1 hr massage compared to 90-100$ for an hour massage in Estes Park. She had the right pressure all the time and kept on checking me about the pressure. She definitely took care of my back issues from week long driving around Colorado. I am giving 4 stars instead of 5 only due to 2 reasons 1. Distance - A bit of a drive from main area. 2. I asked her if she could spend some time towards the end by stretching my body a bit which I felt did not happen. All in all I am very impressed by her place and next time I am in town I would rather drive to Allen Park and enjoy the beautiful drive to get my massage rather than pay 100$ for over priced massages in Estes Park.

While she offers a wide range of massage techniques, I like deep tissue massages and Mary delivered one of the best that I ever had. She was very good at reading what my body needed.

But then to my total surprise, she also offered to make a "house call!" I took her up on it and she applied an arnica based essential oil to my injured ankle. The very next day I am able to walk without crutches -- despite the severity of my injury. Mary is an amazing healer with highly developed skills and compassion. I highly recommend her!!

Finally, enough time has passed that I can write a review that's factual instead of fueled with…read morerage. Alright, not a good start to a review for a massage spot, aye? For my birthday, my boyfriend bought me a massage certificate for 90 minutes. It was a special online rate and the system assigned me to a massage therapist. With the gift certificate in hand, I headed over. I took the afternoon off from work and decided that this was really the day to treat myself. Fast forward to 45 minutes of sitting awkwardly in a cramped hallway with no one around. When I told one of the employees, who had just finished a massage, that I had been waiting for a while, she checked the schedule. And bam! There I was, scheduled for the time 45 minutes long passed. Unsure what to do, the employee gave me a phone number to my massage therapist, encouraging me to call her and see what the delay was. The woman who answered the phone swiftly and abruptly informed me that she does not work there - nor has she worked there for quite a while. And there I sat... utterly adrift, wasting my birthday on a massage that was not to be. The employee wasn't sure what to do and mentioned that she had to leave, and therefore, I too had to leave. Just as I started to gather my things, the owner came in with her dog. Upon hearing what had happened, the owner informed me that this was a glitch in their system that they had experienced before, and that she did not believe she had time to fit me in. I'll admit it - between the tension of sitting in that little hallway, and all of the unsatisfactory responses I had received up until this point, I couldn't help myself and I started to cry. I ask for a refund for the massage certificate, agreeing that I would leave as long as I could get the refund. At this point, the owner's demeanor changed. She rearranged her schedule (which, she assured me she had come in to do paperwork and that it wasn't much trouble) and said that she could fit me in. I countered, saying that I just wanted to leave and forget that this happened, as long as my boyfriend's card could be refunded. The owner countered with phrases like "please let me do this for you" while mixing it in with the guilt of having her modify her schedule for me. I reluctantly consented. The massage was okay - ultimately, not really my style - and it was incredibly hard to relax when I still felt this overwhelming desire to run the hell away. Her dog was in the room with us - and it appears that it suffered from gastrointestinal distress. When the owner booted the dog out for the noise they were making, it was only a few minutes before another massage therapist let the dog back in. When the massage was over - less than 60 minutes later - she took the full value of my 90 minute massage certificate. Strangely, she left the dog behind while I dressed, so I had a dog standing my the door, eagerly awaiting me to hurry up and allow it to get out. Oh, dog, I feel your pain. A lot of things disappointed me about my experience. I was furious that this glitch was a known problem that had not been fixed. Further, if this problem was known, it's disappointing that no one saw the schedule and could put two-and-two together. I regret redeeming the services - especially for significantly less time than I had intended. I do not know why a refund seemed so implausible. I do not know why, when I ask to leave, and have tears in my eyes, that it made the most sense to guilt me into staying. And most of all... I believe in the importance of community websites like Yelp. I rely on and trust the reviews that people post here. My boyfriend selected this location because of the overwhelmingly positive reviews. And yet, this experience is indelibly marked in my mind as the worst way to spend a birthday. Maybe this business will work for you. Sadly, it failed me.

She served us drinks with strawberries and chocolate. The massage studio is a small office in a office complex with other holistic practices, but once inside Rachel made us feel so pampered.

Her colleague that she had join her worked on me while Rachel worked on my boyfriend. They were both excellent. I mentioned to my massage therapist I had shoulder tension and she really took her time to work out what she could. I really appreciate the effort, hospitality and the massage therapy. I would absolutely go back for another massage and highly recommend trying the couples massage some time.
