Suzy is absolutely amazing. She is very thorough and knowledgeable. I recently moved to Santa Cruz and am so glad I found her. I have had seen several massage therapists in the past and Suzy is by far, one of the best!
I learned a lot about my body when Suzy worked on me. She showed me how everything is connected with everything else. The whole experience was fun and instructive, and I felt great afterward!
Great massage!
Suzy found the problem areas in the first session. Am in awe at how quickly she’s helped unlock deep knots and has me moving freely in two sessions. I am no going to be a regular!
She listened to my concerns and ailments. She focused on those areas but explained how the body is linked and all needs attention.
Thank you so much i had a rexling time that i never had befor thank you from josh

I love that suzy works on my lower back which is a mess right now
It was a great massage. The room was clean and warm. I loved how easy it was to park and find my way into the location. Suzy is professional and intuitive. At the end of my 2 hour massage, I was so incredibly relaxed. She spent time in all of the right places and used several different methods depending upon each area where needed. I will definitely be booking again and again and I highly recommend her services to others.
Suzan always does a wonderful job on my back. I was in a lot of pain and she definitely helped me feel much better by the end of my session.

Thank you for taking the time to talk before the session. I felt you really wanted to understand what it was that I expected from the session. I felt
very comfortable with you. What an incredibly nurturing and therapeutic session! Without using too much pressure, you were able to work out an issue in my knee. Some therapists feel they need to dig into the already inflamed tissue but with you I was happy that I was able to breath normally and enjoy the work without fear. Thanks again Suzy! See you next month for another session!

Suzy was extremely professional and competent. As it was my first experience with lymphatic drainage massage, I didn’t know what to expect. Suzy patiently explained each step and asked me several questions about my symptoms. I would absolutely recommend Suzy.

I really enjoyed my experience with Suzy, the best bodywork I have experienced. I appreciated Suzy taking the time having me do deep breaths to relax before the massage. Just the right amount of pressure to release my tight muscles without being painful. I can't wait until my next appointment.

Suzy was warm, at ease, and responsive. I felt like she listened to me, and tailored her work to address my situation. She used very light aroma therapy, which I really enjoyed, and seemed to zero in on all the right places that needed work.
I felt fantastic when she was finished doing her magic, I am super grateful!

Suzy helped me release tension held from a traumatic brain injury. She was highly respectful and asked if I had any pain. She intuitively felt my left side not releasing and gave me extra time and energy.

My experience with Suzy was deeply healing and relaxing on both a physical and mental level. I have suffered with sciatica for years and tried everything- patches, gels, pills, physical therapy etc. but nothing has given me relief like this before. I have had many massages and Suzys touch, energy, and knowledge of the body is far above anything I've experienced. I am so glad that she has opened a practice in Santa Cruz and I encourage anyone who suffers from chronic pain or just needs a break from the stress of life to see her. She has a client for life!
