Testimonials from Clients of Ocean Bodyworks

I had a combination of emotional and physical stress-induced pain in my lower and upper back when I started seeing Jana.

I was a little skeptical of cranialsacral therapy, but tried to keep an open mind. On my second session Jana moved my legs around quite a bit. It was painful during and immediately after the session. However, by the time I left I was completely pain free. That lasted for a day or two, then pain returned, but less severe.

On my fourth visit we had a great session. This session my pain was most severe in my upper back. By the next day, I felt fabulous. I have been able to resume gardening, house cleaning and aerobic exercise!

Jana has been a great help to me in a relatively short period of time.  We worked together to bring me back to my cheerful self!

Your presence in the field of bodywork is a true gift to all of us. I can't tell you how much I appreciated the  sensitive and deep session we did in June. I would recommend your work to any parent or child...

I've gone to Jana for pre- and post-surgical knee pain, headaches, and a sore back from a fall. I'm not sure how she makes me relax but my pain is gone after 10-20 minutes with Jana. I always ask my Mom to take me to Jana's when I'm in a lot of pain.

Jana has helped alleviate my pain from tennis elbow and a broken tailbone. I first assume I have to wait out the pain after an injury, then I remember that Jana can help. It's hard to imagine how she can facilitate the movement of fluid in my body while I lie there relaxing, but somehow it has a definite healing affect.

I am awed by the power of cranial sacral therapy to help me integrate my entire being. I arrive feeling like a puzzle with all my pieces jostled out of place. Then, during the session, I feel the pieces righting themselves and settling back into place. I find this effect to be more enduring than any other kind of body work that I have done.
— S. Bensman

In my last cranial/massage session, Jana noticed that my energy seemed very angry. I was not conscious of how angry I was until she asked me. Then it seemed obvious as I was almost trembling. We discussed the situation that brought on the anger as the cranial work continued, and she gave me some advice on how to perhaps defuse such a situation when confronted with it again. The very next day I had an opportunity to use the advice and it worked beautifully!

Thank you so much for the cranial session. I have to say lots of stuff moved and reorganized. I felt much more balanced. I was spaced out at first but then came home and had lots of energy to work in the yard. It was so nice, I paced myself and didn't rush. I enjoyed it! My neck is much better, too. Amazing.

Hi Jana,

I've been wanting to tell you how grateful I am for our session. I had been to the dentist and my jaw and face had been causing me severe pain. Until our session Sunday I had been taking Tylenol pretty regularly for the pain. And after it, I haven't needed any pain relievers! Thank you! Thanks again for the superb treatment—you do excellent work.

I am a 54-year-old post-menopausal woman, and have been suffering with migraine headaches for 40 years. My headaches were sporadic but as I approached and passed through menopause the headaches became more frequent until I awoke every morning with a migraine. Some of the headaches sent me screaming to the doctor's office for shots of Demerol. I tried numerous prescription drugs, acupuncture, changed my diet and exercise routine, drank more water. I discovered that if I took Exedrin every morning it would keep my headache from growing into a full blown migraine. After years of a daily headache-Excedrin cycle, I tried Cranial-Sacral Massage. During my first visit, it seemed to me that the therapy was fairly imaginary, like a laying on of hands, and I left feeling a little skeptical. When I got home, I felt like I was getting the flu, with body aches and fatigue. The very next morning I awoke without a headache. I continued on with the therapy. During the past four months, I have had an occasional headache, but no full-blown migraine. I am so glad I kept looking for help and found it in Cranial-Sacral Massage.
