My husband and I have are Marzena’s regular clients. Prior to meeting Marzena, we had intermittent massages at the health club, with private therapists, at spas and on vacations.  So we had a large variety of prior experiences; our first massages with Marzena blew us away.  She is in a separate category of practitioners.  Her deep tissue massage is right on– she has an instinct for tracking pain down to its site of origination and then working it out.  She has done this for me with my muscular issues as well as with my post-radiation tissue fibrosis.  Marzena is mindful in both a cognitive and spiritual way in her bodywork; she attends to the physiologic patterns and connections, but at the same time she is always present in a deeply heart-centered way.  She meets the bodies and the souls of her clients right where they are.  We have recommended Marzena to many people, and have mixed feelings in doing so, as the busier she becomes, the harder it is for us to schedule our own appointments!
