TestimonialsWhat People Are Saying |
| You will NOT find a better motivational 'coach' or someone to help you to "improve" yourself (in many, many ways.) She puts her entire Heart and Soul into this, and she truly wants to be of service to others. We all need to 'make a living' but, believe me, Dorena is not just doing this to make money. She is a true healer whose goal in life is to help others. I know! I have had sessions with her. A session with Dorena is an amazing and life-altering experience. I am so grateful to have met her, she has added much to my life. Do yourself a favor--make an appointment with Dorena. Then you will see for yourself that all I say is true. | Mary Jo Wheeler

| Dorena was completely attentive and present. She gave me the best massage ever --- even better than my massage teachers. I felt totally cared for. | Libby O'Meara

| Dorena is truly gifted in the healing art of massage. It was during a very long and harsh bought of chronic bronchitis and asthma that I began to see her and within a short amount of time I was able to recover completely and let go of prescribed inhalants. Her work helped to improve my circulation, strengthen my immune system, and assist in easier breathing. The physical and emotional benefits I receive after a session with Dorena are both amazing and inspiring. Amazing because it works - I never before considered massage therapy to be useful. Inspiring because of the way it works - each session creates such a strong state of relaxation and peace of mind that it stays with me long after therapy, encouraging healthier choices and a continued commitment to well-being. |

| I've suffered with chronic pain for 20 years and have had body work done, but never experienced much relief. My experience with Dr. Rode was different. Her method is very effective. She was able to locate and alleviate painful trigger points I have as a result previous injuries and also took the time to explain how pain can travel and affect different areas of my body. For example, I wasn't aware that injured muscles in my neck might be contributing to the pain and numbness in my hands. I felt comfortable in her office and truly experienced much less pain and much more happiness after the therapy. The healing aspect of her work is amazing; very uplifting and therapeutic. I've recommended her to my family and friends. |

| I have been using Dorena's massage services for almost a year. Dorena is a gifted masseuse with a skilled and intuitive sense for her craft. I find my sessions with her both pleasurable and highly effective | Sue Lewis Santa Rosa |
| I have been getting massages for over 40 years from many different women and men. Then I became aware that Dorena was a masseuse and thought I would give her a try, although judging from her small size I wondered if she would be strong enough to get through my body to make it feel good. Silly me, she seems to be 100% muscle and gives the best massage I've experienced in a long time. For me the test is how I feel the next day and do I have a feeling of well being, which I have with Dorena. I have been going to her monthly for over a year and will continue to go, as she is thoughtful, efficient, uses whatever body part is needed to get out the kinks, ie hands, elbows, and lower arms and has a great laugh. She is very flexible as to talking or not, smoothing music and is in general a very educated good person who can talk on many subjects. (If you feel like talking.) Many times I feel! like I 'm getting the Zen of Massage. I would highly recommend her to anyone wanting a great massage or is in pain anywhere in the body. She also is very much into herbs and healing. As you can tell I like her and her methods very much. |

| Before Dorena I never scheduled a second massage with the same person. | Dawn Spagnola Sales |
| Dorena has a very consistent and wise touch. She listens to my needs and she knows where and how to apply her strokes. She has certainly improved my body issues. When I visit Dorena I get a full experience. Her space is clean and welcoming. She is accommodating, considerate, and respectful of creating and maintaining a healing space. The best massage music. | Diana Samour Property Manager |

| I have respected and benefited from Dorena Rode's work since 1986. She is the most intelligent person I've known and gets to the root of an issue without delay and gets the job done. She couples her scholarly brilliance with a remarkable emotional intelligence. Whatever task she applies herself to she does with singular focus and presence. She facilitates one's access to their own navigational compass and helps one select an appropriate map for their life's journey. | Lori Katz Dog Trainer |
