I have Spinal Fusions at my C1, C2, C4 and C5 levels . This is coupled with an artificial disk and a spacer in my C6. My L4 is moved to the left and subluxated by 12 millimeters. My pain level is usually high. Upon speaking to Rafa I was a little skeptical since I have been to many Massage Therapists as well as Chiropractors and physical therapy facilities. These apprehensions were soon resolved with the Absolutely most amazing massage therapy I have ever experienced. I have no pain whatsoever in my spine but what is more incredible is how rejuvenated I feel. I can now move like I did before my injuries and surgeries. My workouts are similar to what they were 15 years ago. I can't thank Rafa enough for what has been restored in my life.

I have been to chiropractors, massage therapists, facia relief specialists, etc., etc. Without any relief from pain. Rafais incredible. She even managed to straighten my locked up knee, and my pain is substantially less after only 3 appointments. I hope she continues to reside in Puerto Pen̈asco.

I have had very few massages in my life, however I had a 2 hour massage from Rafa (Patricia) Arana, and then another 2 hour session a week later. She was wonderful, they were a deep massage with tuning forks applied. She loosened muscles that I didn't know I had. She has a healing touch that flows thru her hands that you can feel in your own body. I would highly recommend her for any aches and pains you may have

This was my second session. The first was only 15 minutes at the Mermaid Market in Puerto Peñasco, Mexico. I was impressed in how much better I felt just after 15 minutes so I booked a 2 hour session. WOW!!! talk about an amazing change to my body. My planters fasciitis is gone, I had inflammation in my wrist from a recent surgery, gone...I was a little sore the day of the session but the next day I felt amazing. I'd never had a tuning fork massage before but it's so much more than that. I strongly recommend Rafa and plan to have another session in a few weeks. It is worth the cost if you have any aches and pains. I've told so many friends about her. I look forward to my next session.

I’m writing this review for my late wife. We met Patrica Araña at a trade show. Pat was providing short 15 minutes session. My wife was experiencing horrible back pain. After the short time session my wife was able to get out of her chair and walk around with very little pain. I met with Patricia and agreed on a very cost effective program. After 30 days / 3 time per week my lady was up and walking around. I felt it was a miracle. I would strongly recommend. Patricia Arana’s program. Rick / Deb Turner

5 stars+++++++++++!!!! Rafa is the best, combing extraordinary technique with other-worldly intuitiveness. Let me explain: Rafa has the rare ability to "know" what areas of your body need healing and attention (even when you do not!), and then she uses her expert skills to apply just the right pressure/stretching/manipulation to help you achieve your best self. As well, Rafa will always give you advice and guidance so that you can take the benefits you get in your sessions with her and incorporate them into your lifestyle to have long-lasting wellness.

With Patricia, you will be in expert hands. She listens to any issues or aches or pains you have been experiencing and goes to work to alleviate them. I would highly recommend her services!
