Client Testimonials

Here's what our clients are saying

Another wonderful, relaxing and therapeutic experience.

I absolutely loved the thorough massage I received from Laura. She is so great at knowing the areas that need more work and takes the time to address those areas. I highly recommend her to anyone. You will not be disappointed
I like where Empowering Hands is located. It’s a quiet little office center that is in the middle of Scott’s Valley so easy to get to.

Empowering Hands is the best place to go for a wonderful massage in a safe environment.
amazing

Yes
Most importantly, I felt safe among professionals. As someone with an abusive background and C-PTSD, I feel very vulnerable in certain situations. I'll be back and I highly recommend.

Tara is excellent. I'm so happy to have found the massage therapist I will look forward to seeing again and again.
Emily keeps my body moving every month. I'd go every week if I could. As a retired massage therapist, I'm very picky and have had hundreds of massages. Emily is amazing and I trust her knowledge and skill.

Empowering Hands is a wonderful massage practice. Very nurturing and professional.

Ashiatsu Deep Feet Therapy

Ashiatsu Deep Feet Bar Therapy is a combination massage with long flowing deep effleurage and deep compression strokes. Different than our other massage services, Ashiatsu therapy is done with the therapist’s feet while using bars overhead to provide support and balance. Using leg and core strength along with gravity allows the therapist to provide a deep/broad pressure that cannot be achieved using the hands.

Emily Bigelow
CMT Cert# 53105, ABMP Member ID #788071 National Certification NCBTMB #839549
Emily graduated Maui School of Therapeutic Massage in 2012. There she studied Myofascial Release and Neuromuscular Therapy under the late James Hackett who recently has been inducted in to the Massage Therapy Hall of Fame. She became passionate about Structural Integration after finding the body work they were practicing in those specific classes had given her relief from the pain caused by her Scoliotic curvature of her spine. Eager to help others who have muscular pain caused by postural imbalances she began focusing her education on Structural Integration. While studying in Maui she had also been introduced to Hawaiian Lomi Lomi by Jeana Iwalani. Inspired by the Hawaiian culture and the philosophy behind traditional Hawaiian medicine, Emily began an immersion class where she got the opportunity to study the Hawaiian culture. Emily received a thorough education in Big Island Style Hawaiian Lomi Lomi. Combining her knowledge fascia and trigger points from Myofascial Release and Neuromuscular Therapy and the fluidity and intention of connecting down to the bones from Lomi, Emily has developed a soothing yet very affective massage style.
Emily began working in the Professional Clinic at MSTM right out of school and briefly assisted teachers in the classroom before she made her way back home to the mainland. Emily began her own private practice in Northern California until she moved to the Bay Area to begin working at the Ritz Carlton Spa in Halfmoon Bay where she was highly requested. Although she enjoyed working in the spa setting, Emily longed to get back in to more therapeutic body work. She then began working as a contracted employee at Google in Mountain View California. Her approval rating is an outstanding 98% favorable, voted by the Google employees that have received her work. Emily is now a Nationally Board Certified Massage Therapist and is excited to bring Scotts Valley a luxury massage experience with out straying away from the therapeutic benefits of massage at an affordable rate for many.

All I have to say is I have been to a LOT of massage therapists and Emily by far has been one of the best! I am very particular and nervous about having people touch certain areas which are tender, she is very gentle and precise. Her ability to find those “spots” and manipulate your muscles into submission is remarkable. She found areas I didn’t even know were tight and she massaged them right out. She is very professional and discreet, listening to what is bothering you and checking to make sure the pressure is good. She definitely has healing hands and she gives you a combination of all of her modalities. She is especially skilled with myofascial release technique. If you can’t already tell how impressed I am and pleased with her technique and abilities, I bought the 5 session packet. I can’t wait to see her again. I look forward to seeing her new place and her vision for the future. Thank you so much Emily, you are a Godsend!
