I started working with Jennifer a little over 2 years ago because of a recommendation from my chiropractor. I have 3 swollen disks in my lower back and 2 vertebrae in stage II fusion in my neck. After two visits in one week with Jennifer, I was hooked.  She worked closely with my chiropractor to come up with a treatment plan to relieve my back from pain. Jennifer seems to have a way of understanding my body. I can tell her what exactly I'm feeling that week or that month, and she will understand what needs to be worked on to get other parts to feel better.  It is common for me to sleep better after a session, have my back "adjust itself" after a session, and concentrate better because I'm not focused on the pain that I would normally feel.  I live in Bonney Lake, WA and have always worked in Seattle. Now I work in Tacoma and I still travel the 35 miles to see Jennifer at her current location. I have recommended Jennifer to friends, co-workers and also some clients.

I started working with Jennifer because of the stress in my everyday life. It had gotten so bad that it was affecting my health. I tend to carry stress in my neck and back as many people do. It was so severe that it was giving me extreme headaches, which in turn were literally causing me to feel sick to my stomach most days. I had been feeling this way for over a month and I just couldn’t take it anymore!! Nothing I tried was working. I needed to get my life back so I broke down and went to my doctor.  He recommended getting a massage. Well you don’t have to tell me twice, so that is precisely what I did.

Jennifer was referred to me by a friend, so I gave her a call. To my surprise, she was able to see me that same week. After just one session with Jennifer, I felt soooooo much better! I was even able to go out for an afternoon of lunch and shopping with my daughter the same day. I cannot tell you how glad my family was to “have me back”.

I have had a total of 3 sessions with Jennifer now and I am happy to report that I am back to my full functioning self. I look forward to my sessions with Jennifer because being a mother, wife and business owner, the time I spend with her is one whole hour without interruption. She makes sure that it is an entire hour of just “me” time. Thank-you Jennifer! You truly are “just what the doctor prescribed”!

I’m impressed with Jen’s ability to intuitively know what areas of my body need treatment. She is focused on healing injury and relieving pain to keep me active and enjoying the sports I participate in. I’m grateful that she is a huge part of my professional wellness team.

As a landscape contractor, I do a lot of lifting, twisting and bending, which tightens the muscles in my back and neck into knots.  It's hard for me to get motivated to work when I don't feel my best.  Every time Jen works on me, my productivity increases and my attitude towards mornings improves greatly.  I always leave her office feeling six inches taller than when I arrived.

I have episodic low back pain that stems from a chronic psoas condition. Since my first session with Jennifer 3 months ago, I have been without that familiar low back pain. I noticed right away that her knowledge of the anatomy and biomechanics of the hip girdle set her apart from her peers.  She was able to access, isolate and change my psoas muscle without causing discomfort that sometimes accompanies deep tissue work.

Jen is an amazing massage therapist! I suffer from arthritis and fibromyalgia. I have so much less pain and much more movement because of her massage work. I require a very gentle massage and Jen is the first massage therapist that understands that. Thank you for your professionalism and fantastic work.

Finally! That was my thought after my first visit with Jennifer Giuntini, of ’a vie massage for massage therapy. Finally, some relief from the chronic pain in by neck and shoulder caused from a car accident over ten years prior.

I had tried many different things to relieve the pain, to no avail. So, I just learned to deal with it.  My daughter was in an accident in 2008 and went to Jennifer for her back issues and felt that she could help me as well.

Deep breath and fingers crossed, I made an appointment. When I got home, I realized there was NO PAIN for TWO hours!  I thought I had died and gone to heaven! I called my daughter and said I had forgotten how “no pain” felt.

With that positive first experience, I’ve continued on with the massage therapy. At first, once every week or every other week. Now, about every third week. Jennifer has been able to keep the muscles from getting too tight and stiff.  The amazing thing about my therapy is that I don’t have “the pain” to carry with me on a daily basis. For that, I am extremely grateful.

Jennifer provides a very intuitive massage. She knows exactly what areas need work and how much pressure to use so it’s effective but not painful. After only one massage session, my upper back pain was significantly reduced and the benefits have lasted weeks. It was one of the best massages I have ever had. I highly recommend her for a relaxing yet therapeutic experience.
