Geneva was very attentive and gave me a fantastic massage!

I had an excellent massage, it was exactly what I've been looking for. I've been getting deep tissue massage for a long time and those always feels good, but they weren't fixing anything. The massage from Geneva was very much focused on restoring range of motion, functionality, and injury recovery. Her calendar is very booked (with good reason!), but she gave me some stretching exercises to do before my next visit.

Great session! It was nice to be heard when talking about how certain movements felt. She found old injuries I’d forgotten about that were still impacting my gait. Looking forward to my next session!

Relaxing while also therapeutic, hitting some key flex points that really helped.

We love supporting local businesses and especially love when they send love to us as well! We had the beautiful chance of partnering with Blum Body Therapy for our holiday gift card exchange to show appreciation to each of our hard working staff! Our employees LOVED the 5 star treatments and will be booking again! Thank you Blum!!

Colleen is an excellent therapist--knowledgeable, empathic, and focused. She does myofascial release, deep tissue, and cupping on my chronically stiff neck, shoulders and upper pecs. It has actually reduced the build up of fascial tissue reducing the bump at the base of my neck. Highly recommended!

I have been blessed to work with Geneva for more than two years and love the experience. Colleen and I had our first session a few days ago. She is a lovely addition to this caring, professional and talented crew! I highly recommend Blum to any and all ages or stages of folks who need some TLC with their body work.

I have received massages from both Geneva and Colleen now and cannot recommend Blum Body Therapy more. Geneva is a seasoned professional with an intuitive touch. If you have chronic pain, Geneva is the best to help make you more mobile and recommends stretches to do on your own to continue progress in between appointments. My boyfriend works in construction and she has helped him tremendously with his body pain. Colleen's Recovery massage was so therapeutic that anyone with tight muscles from physical activity or sitting too much would find her service beneficial to recovering from body pain. She uses deep tissue techniques, cupping, and CBD cream on tender areas, and really works on my shoulders. I have not had that much mobility in my shoulders in 10+ years! She also gave me stretches to do in between appointments. I highly recommend the team at Blum Body Therapy.

I saw Colleen for the first time and was a new woman walking out of there. I had a 90 min CBD Recovery Massage with cupping. Colleen was friendly, professional and knowledgable, and somehow helped my broken toes without even working on them directly. I actually went in with 5 week old broken toes that I couldn't walk on yet. We didn't massage the foot but all of the work she did brought motion back to my foot and toes practically like magic. The cupping helped get out some serious knots I have had forever. I am totally into the CBD and cupping and can't wait to get this treatment again!

I worked with Geneva in her capacity as a Health and Wellness Coach. She is incredibly intuitive and truly allows her clients to discover their own well-suited paths. I look forward to a continued professional relationship with her.

Love, love going to see Geneva. Her massages are gentle and so effective. She has helped me through many bouts of neck, shoulder and back pain.

Geneva is fabulous! Her knowledge and wisdom of anatomy and body mechanics means her assessment is spot on - she identified issues I had forgotten were there. The body work she does is subtle and yet so deeply healing. She is aware and responsive, a gifted healer.

I was wowed by my experience with Geneva. She’s so clearly deeply interested in getting in tune with my issues...and I feel better than I have in eight months. I left booking my next 3 visits.

The whole vibe at Blum BodyTherapy is calming and caring (also immaculate). But the work with Geneva is amazing. This is not your average Swedish or Sports massage--it is not like massage at all---this is body work. Geneva is a thoughtful and insightful detective. She observes the relationships between soft tissues, muscles and joints and sets out to restore balance. While on the table the work seems so subtle. But after, immediately as well as the next couple of days it is clear that she worked deeply and effectively. Highly recommend her!

As someone who has struggled with back pain for years, it is important for me to work with a therapist who understands how to identify and correct the imbalances my body has that contribute to my pain. Geneva takes the time to assess your posture and within no time has a plan for how to get you in better alignment. She is very no nonsense and makes the session as productive as possible, while also informing you of the imbalances she sees. She is also very pleasant and makes you feel comfortable in the session. I highly recommend if you are looking for someone to help you recover from an injury, help with back pain, or just want to feel a little taller and more mobile in your body.

Geneva has been great helping work through some shoulder pain I've had. I plan on continuing to see her after I'm back to normal because I've enjoyed the visits so much.

Geneva was excellent! I scheduled an appointment solely based on reviews, and was not disappointed. I had an AWFUL crick in my neck and upper back, and she worked diligently and methodically to ease the pain. When the massage was complete, she took extra time to show me stretches that would help. Highly recommend!

Great space and great location. The subject matter is fascinating and also overwhelming. Handouts from the speaker would have been nice to understand what was being presented.

I had never had a corrective massage prior to Blum Body Therapy and I highly recommend it to everyone! I really enjoyed my experience with Geneva and her the depth of knowledge and level of professionalism. She was caring and intuitive with my body and I will be back again on a regular basis.

I have been going to Geneva for years. She really cares about her clients long term wellness and recovery. She’s great at giving advice and exercises post therapy to help maintain results. Truly a personable and relaxing experience.

Geneva is simply the best. I've been going to her 3-4 times a month for over a year now. My chiropractor actually recommended her to me and I've since only gone to her for back pain relief. The wonderful thing about Geneva is that she knows where the pain is and goes there -- without me even having to tell her. And after a year, I'm happy to report that my L4/5 is only at 30% compression instead of 65% when I very first saw her. I have recommended her to my husband who suffers from restless legs (relief), my sister who has scoliosis (relief), and now countless friends and family. I actually have never written a Google review, but am such a fan of Geneva's that I'd write a Google, Yelp, or anything else to spread the word that she helps people in pain!

There are not enough stars to reflect how much Geneva has helped me to regain strength and balance. Recovery after exercise over time has become much easier due to her ministrations. Geneva is masterful and caring and just plain knows her stuff. She is a good listener and is a source of practical and doable advice. My husband and I see her regularly and she helps us to recover from our physical aches and pains. You'll not go wrong!

Geneva was amazing. Helped ease a lot of my migraine and shoulder tension with just one visit. Also, started working on my restless leg syndrome and I haven't had a spasm yet! I will definitely be back very soon
Feb 06, 2017
I thought Geneva was great. The work felt specific to my symptoms and I felt she was honest about what she could and couldn't do to help. She also let me know where I needed to work more on my own to regain strength and movement. She didn't hurt me once and I feel better today after my appointment than I did yesterday before it.

I've been visiting Geneva once a week for almost a year now, and it's made a huge difference for me. I originally started going to Blum because of a back injury. Even at the outset I was impressed with Geneva's understanding of the body and attention to my individualized needs and areas of concern. As the back injury improved--in large part due to the therapy I was receiving from Geneva--I continued to visit Blum because the sessions are hugely relaxing and other, small injuries required treatment. In each instance Geneva does a great job of treating the area and focusing on what's best for me and my body. I can't say enough good things about Blum.

my first visit was encouraging my muscles are very tight. I have had trigger point no pain no gain before it took care of the problem but it keeps coming back. I think Geneva has a different approach . she already loosened me up with out any pain. gave me 1 exercise to do. I thought I have seen everything have been in pain since 2002. with some relief . I have another appointment will let you know how this works out. its been a little while she is making progress I actually had a pain free day . that sounds so good to a person that has pain everyday . if your not needing surgery you really should give Geneva a try. if she believes she cant help she will tell you. she thought she could help now I'm doable . but it takes both of us because its been so long that I have been like this. reviews are great it helps others make a decision. what do you have to lose besides your pain. thanks . mickey.
