"Gisela is a life saver"
Gisela is a life saver. I'm constantly working out and always quite sore, I walk out of my massage ready for the next session. Her intuitive knowledge of the body is second to none. If you have a body you need this body work.

"Gisela has amazing intuition"
This is not your basic massage! Gisela has amazing intuition for unwinding the most stuck muscles and fascia. Her intraoral massage is the best I've ever had. Usually, I hate intraoral but she is so skilled and gentle that my TMJ doesn't fight back and just melts. I have several chronic injuries and anxiety and I can count on coming out of a session with her with far less tension and pain. I highly recommend Gisela!

"...the massage that you need"
I followed Gisela from her last gig (and will continue to follow her) as she listens, recommends, and ultimately delivers the massage you need. Sometimes I walk out really relaxed and sometimes I walk out a bit sore but I always feel loose and relaxed. I really like that she will try different methods based on what is happening (stone massage, cupping, etc) but doesn't do it to upcharge--it is really because she cares. Go see her but don't take my appointment times!

"So lovely and knowledgeable"
Gisela was so lovely and knowledgeable and made me feel very relaxed. It was my first time going to her, and even though I didn't pay for the hot stones add-on, she used them during my massage for a treat. She listened well to my pain points and gave me tips and advice for the future.

"Gisela is an amazing body worker!"
Gisela is an amazing body worker! I go in feeling mobility restrictions and pain and leave feeling like I have a new body. She truly listens and cares. While much of the fascia work she does is gentle and subtle, the results are dramatic.

Testimonials
"Gisela is a miracle worker!"
Gisela is a miracle worker! I had been suffering from frozen shoulders for several years and had been to the doctor. I was given cortisone. Nothing made it better until Gisela started working with me. It was so freeing to be able to raise my arms! She has been the only masseuse that figured out what would work. I am so thankful I found her!

"...beyond conventional massage therapy"
Working with Gisela has opened me to healing that I didn't know was accessible to my body and spirit. Gisela's work is beyond conventional massage therapy. Her gentle, yet powerful work with fascia, attention to one's positionality and trauma, and deep and individualized care for her client's goes above and beyond a quick-fix session. Working together on such a personalized level has allowed me to not only see physical changes in how my body moves through the world, but spiritual and emotional changes as well. It's clear that Gisela is committed to long-haul healing. She cares so deeply about one's ability to engage with their healing and truly wants to help others access the long-term impact of being in a bodywork relationship.

"...far and away the best bodywork"
Gisela offers far and away the best bodywork experience I’ve ever had. She is thoughtful, compassionate and collaborative, and takes such good care of my emotional and spiritual self, in addition to my physical self. I always come away feeling not just physically better, but restored in a deeper way.

"compassionate and powerful healing"
During the past few months of working with Gisela, I've found her broad and refined massage skills in combination with her extra gentle, intuitive approach to be both deeply relaxing and effective in managing my chronic migraines. Her intra-oral massage technique is incredibly powerful and something you really must try if you've found other practitioners of this modality to be too aggressive and you struggle with any head and jaw related concerns. I am so grateful for your compassionate and powerful healing medicine Gisela!
