REVIEWS for my Bodywork or Meditation services

I was having pain when hyper- extending my knee. I went to a chiropractor and got no relief from pain. II sought massage and cupping for my discomfort. Following the treatment my knee has not hurt at all !!. I noticed the difference the next day! I returned to the gym and tried different variations of the exercise as suggested and have experienced pain free movement. I would highly recommend Doreena and her services to everyone- she is very knowledgeable, caring and professional!!!

Everything with my massage experience with Doreena was perfect! I've been plagued with injuries in both my career and sports, and I was truly impressed at the level of knowledge that Doreena was able to provide in helping my recovery. Doreena listened to all my concerns and I let her determine how to proceed with the massage therapy. Previously, I had only ever had deep tissue massages, but Doreena used various other techniques and I left feeling great. Much of my pain, tightness, and inflammation had subsided with in 24hrs. If you are in need of massage therapy, I highly recommend her.

I had a pain in my rib cage area for about 3 weeks. Doreena massaged several areas around the pain and I felt better right away. Pain was completely gone within a week. Thank you!!!

I always just lose myself in the massage. Like taking a little trip to a stress free zone. Often is amazing

I had chronic hip pain for almost 4 years. Doreena has helped me tremendously and now the pain is gone and I am able to regain strength throughout my entire range of motion.

If there were more stars, Doreena deserves them! I came in my first visit limping, with sore hands going to sleep (wearing wrist braces every night to sleep), with a sore, stiff neck, and in lots of pain. I noticed a shift after the very first visit. No more braces, not even once. I walk normal, much less pain. My stiff neck is better with each massage. Doreena is amazing and knows just the right treatments for each problem area. I am now a regular. Just tell her what you need and trust her to help.

I sought out treatment for a complicated issue: pain and numbness bilaterally from carpal tunnel syndrome, medial epicondylitis (golfers' elbow) and thoracic outlet syndrome. As a massage therapist myself, having full use of my body, especially my hands, arms, and neck are vitally important to my ability to generate income, and to serve others. Prior to working with Doreena, I had sought out care from multiple orthopedic surgeons, had done 4 months of PT, had cortisone injections in both my wrists and elbows without much relief at all, and at the point when I met Doreena, was considering getting a nerve block in my neck, with no guarantees of it working. Doreena literally was my last ditch attempt to resolve this without taking drastic steps. I had significant relief with my very first massage with Doreena. She took a lot of time working on various muscles using several different techniques. She was also mindful of an extremely touchy neck that I have with her work. I saw Doreena a total of 3 times, and to date, the numbness/pain has not returned. I would highly recommend her to anyone - especially if you have a complicated issue such as I had.

I have been to many massage therapists. Doreena stands out above all. She is gifted, extremely knowledgeable and cares deeply about her work and clients. In my case she is helping me recover from an injury that wasn't getting better and now is. She really knows what she is doing.
