    Amazing massage experience with Jennifer! I am so relaxed.
    I found her using a Groupon. The booking process was done easily on the website and I received a confirmation email from her a few days before my appointment.

    Very relaxing studio, with simple decor and small fountain. Music was at an appropriate volume.

    Boy does she know her stuff! I melted into that table. She won't hurt you, but you will get good pressure from her strong hands and she uses very good massage lotion.
    I got a package of 3 more massages so I can get this done every month! Her prices are GREAT!

    Very, very good.  Professional, knowledgeable, and in a very relaxing and comfortable environment.  I've had 'ok' and 'good' massage, this was GREAT.  For me the best part was that she actively addressed the areas where I was feeling sore and/or needed work, but didn't beat me up.  Highly recommend.

    I was fortunate to find Jennifer on Yelp!  My wife and I were staying at the Chaminade to celebrate our five year wedding anniversary and instead of paying their exorbitant costs for a couples' massage (I could have bought a roundtrip ticket to Hawaii for that price!), we found Jennifer and couldn't have been happier.  This is really only the second massage I've had and it hurt a lot less than my first one; once again, as other Yelpers have said, "appropriate pressure" so you're not yelping in agony during the massage.  My wife and I took turns while we walked our infant daughter around the super cute neighborhood.  Jen couldn't have been more hospitable!  Will return next time we're on vacation.  Thanks, Jen!

    I do business in Santa Cruz and this massage office came highly recommended by some associates of mine. The gal on the phone was very polite and accommodating to my busy schedule.
      The building that the office is in was very rustic and the massage office is very inviting, warm and comfortable. I really loved the Asian decor and trickling water feature in the spacious room. The CMT, Jennifer, was very sweet and I got the sense that she really wanted me to enjoy the service from start to finish. I have had many massages and this one by far ranked very high. She not only used mainly Swedish but she also infused it with various other techniques in very creataive ways. It was so difficult not to fall asleep during the session!  
       The pressure was excellent and consistent, as well as the flow and energy of the massage. She completed my session with hot essential oil infused towels on my feet, which I thought was a wonderful and unique touch. Very professional and courteous place for a fantastic massage! Needless to say, I left the office refreshed and rejuvenated! I will certainly be a return customer when I am in Santa Cruz for work again.

    Being a life long athlete I've used massage and body work on a regular basis to keep my body running. Having experienced the work of many CMTs I can say without a doubt that Jennifer Galvin is at the top of the list for knowledge and results. I met Jennifer through a recommendation from my Physical Therapist James Vegher who is also outstanding in his field. Jennifer has been instrumental in helping me recover from surgery, repair injuries and restore muscles and I highly recommend her work. One thing that impresses me is her continued studies and incorporation of new techniques into her practice. Her recent studies in AIS have translated into additional restorative benefits for me.  I consider her work a gift and hope you discover this as well.

    Jennifer is incredible.  I have seen her for the past three months and she has really helped with my running injuries.  Her studio is very relaxing and she is very attentive.  I have had many massage therapists in my life but never have I met someone like Jennifer who knows how to apply to exact amount of pressure and get such quick results in pain reduction.  Her rates are also very reasonable.

    After over 50 years of active physical demands and 30 years of teaching Physical Education Jenn's instincts about restoring the human body have been a life saver for me.  I have not experienced a treatment modality that helps my body with the day to day demands anymore than Vital Body Therapy.

    Just returned from my monthly massage-I  recommend Jennifer Galvin CMT. to everyone. I never want my time on her table to end, and when I leave her peaceful sanctuary, I am tension free and energized for whatever comes my way. I have never had a better massage.
