| I met Galina early in the day and she had scheduled three hours for our session, time flew by. She has an excellent area (room) and excellently appointed salon area. She is one of the best masseuses I’ve ever been to. She is very professional and really knows what she is doing. I like the idea of her intake form for you to show where your areas of concern. She explains what she is doing and why. I will definitely see her again, she is top notch. Thanks Galina. | |

| Had a wonderful afternoon with Galina. In my.opinion she is the most professional and experienced lady in this site. She had this Conscious Touch full of love and nurturing that is immediately obvious. She traced with her fingers areas she was going to work on in circles. Then she began to palpate and dissolve each area. It felt more than a massage it was a healing session. Her style is different that I have seen in my travels. For certain I need to experience this again. | |

| Actually, I traced the channels of renal blood flow for discovering the natural streams of prana, I did it for attuning to the natural streams. The tracks of my fingers could be perceived as circles because the kidneys have the oval shape. After attuning to the renal blood flow, I gently filled kidneys with prana to purify them and to repair the walls of their channels. Then, the prana melts stones and other impurities transforming the waste into warm liquid-like stuff with lower-solidity, easy to remove from the body through the renal pelvis to the ureter. | |

Scheduled a session with Galina and it went smoothly. She is very professional in setting appointment. She set aside time for two hours each, which is excellent because I have had a little strain on my hip.
Upon arrival, Galina pulled out an intake form so I can accurately describe my injury and do that she can also describe her session needs. Those hours went quickly, as the massages seemed to just flow naturally. Galina helped guide my hands along one of the muscles in her arm because I was working just inches away from the muscle bundle she needed to be worked. So it’s good to know that she communicates her needs well. When it came to switch, she took great effort to pinpoint the location of my hip flare up, the insertion and the attachment, along with some supporting muscles to assist in reading my hip pain. I walked my dog twice and finished both Tripp’s without issue, do all in all, great job all around |

Two days ago I had to go to ER with this debilitating and excruciating pain that was shooting down from my neck through the trapezius, to my back shoulder and right arm/hand all the way to my fingers. It felt like I had a knife stabbed on to my back.
Fast forward to today, after feeling strong and stable enough to drive in that horrid condition from Berkeley to San Jose to meet Galina. She was the best thing that happened to me since this nagging injury that started slowly three (3) months again. She is very gentle, knowledgeable, kind and generous in heart and hands. She spent more than two (2) solid hours to relieve me of all the pains I mentioned above. She knows what she is doing and you would be lucky to have her help you with your massage needs. Definitely an emphatic recommendation from me. Cheers and stay healthy. Alexes |

| I finally had a chance to exchange therapeutic massage with Galina and was immediately blown away by the care she put into creating the perfect massage space! As soon as you walk in, the peaceful energy just surrounds you and puts everything at ease. Galina is so easy to talk to and so patient and responsive, once the massage started, I got into a rhythm and before I knew it, almost 3 hours had passed. She is extremely knowledgeable and gave me lots of feedback on my techniques. When we switched, she was equally attentive and thorough in her massage and even continued to explain techniques to me even as she employed them on me. We had a great time and I can't wait to exchange with her again! | |

We had a wonderful exchange therapeutic session, and I must say that Galina is truly Gifted and she shares her Gift with a great compassion, desire, and kindness. Highly knowledgeable and skillful, she gives a perfect treatment attending to any muscular and ligament issues both carefully and efficiently. She knows a lot about human body not only on physical but also on a spiritual level, which turns a mere conversation into a profound exploration of human life on various levels.
Galina is also a great receiver. Understanding her own body and knowing exactly, where she needs attention, she gives thorough guidance and she is merciful to mistakes. Being a lot less skilled than her, I felt her care and support throughout the whole session. I highly appreciate the time I was lucky to spend with Galina. |

Galina is a professional and gives excellent massages. She has a fully stocked dedicated room, it's very clean, she changes sheets in between massages. She was ready on time and there was soft music playing in the background. When I arrived, she took me to a counter with 25-30 different types of massage oil so I could select the one I wanted. She also showed me papers with diagrams of the body so I could circle problem areas which she discussed with me beforehand.
Her massage was deep massage and she really understands anatomy, trigger points and knows how to fix what isn't right. We talked during the massage. Sometimes I like to be quiet, sometimes I like to talk. She was interesting to talk to, she kept telling me what she was doing and why because I recognized her knowledge early on and asked her to teach me through the massage which she graciously did. Neither of us had any time constraints so the massage was pretty long. She is very strong and has the stamina to keep going as long as you want. She had bottled water there for me too. If you want a professionally given therapeutic massage, I highly recommend Galina. |

| Galina had the perfect setup and awesome energy! She walked me through her process and was very welcoming to questions and explaining techniques. I had a wonderful massage exchange session with her and ended up taking a nap in her spare room before leaving! Definitely recommend her to anyone looking for an awesome experience. | |

| Galina, an intuitive, warm and experienced masseuse and energy healer, welcomed me into her clean and comfortable home studio, had me select my preferred oils and fragrances, and gave me an incredible, deep 2-hour massage. Our conversation ranged from the esoteric to the mystical and medical, and we each shared parts of our personal stories as well... she is highly intelligent, well-educated and open-minded. I was exhausted, having just arrived in town with little sleep, so she suggested that I just receive her massage this time. But I wanted to give back, and spend time investing in her as well. So she sent me to sleep in a spare room (as she recommended from the beginning), and hours later I gave her a couple of hours of my love and energy as well. I am not a professional, have a lot of good energy, empathy and heart, while my expertise needs improvement. Galina guided me expertly, and I learned a lot from her. It was a long, rejuvenating afternoon, and I recommend her highly! | |
