Testimonials

A week ago I was fortunate to have my first massage session with Jane.

As a body worker myself for over 20 years my bar is high. Jane integrates her sessions with multiple modalities that fine tunes her clients needs. Her body wisdom is overflowing as is her absolute passion for healing. Her massage is a must to experience! Those daily aches we all have that interrupt our lives—you will once again experience Life without their constant pangs!

I cannot wait for my next session and fully understand why people come far and wide for her body knowledge. Don’t miss this opportunity to remember what day to day is like without pain. She is simply the very best there is.

"What can I say about Jane Brooks that could encompass everything she has done for me? I'll sum it up as best as I can in a few paragraphs.

I first heard of Jane from my now retired massage therapist who'd said Jane gave her the 'best massage she'd ever had'... my interest was piqued. But, having been to several massage therapists in the past and constantly being disappointed by how little they helped me, I had grown leery of seeing anyone new. So I didn't call her, for nearly a year! However, after having little to no success in alleviating my pain on my own, I finally decided to call her, and I'm so glad I did!

From the very first phone call I could hear how sweet and kind she was. And knowing my massage therapist's word, I could tell I was in for something special.

Jane has a way of making you feel welcomed and cared for as soon as you walk through the door. She listens... really listens to your concerns and goals. She radiates compassion for her clients and the people in her community. She truly wants to help everyone live full, pain-free lives. She has taught me so much about my own health and the importance of self-care.

After suffering for over 7 years with chronic muscle pain and spasms, I am back to my old self, playing sports, exercising, and enjoying life. I have Jane Brooks to thank for that."

"I moved from the San Francisco Bay Area on July 1, 2021. At the time, I was in horrible pain with my left hip and SI joint that had been heightened because of the stress of the move. I had been seeing a chiropractor, acupuncturist and an excellent massage therapist/energy worker.

Nothing alleviated the pain when walking and moving until I had my first session with Jane. She instantly gets to the root of the problem. Her combination of therapies is amazingly effective. I had never had cupping before. I had hot stones but never cold. What I especially appreciate is that she also teaches you what to do AFTER her sessions - helping you learn how to continue the healing and alleviation of pain. I’m now walking pain free and ice is my friend (as well as the wonderful Jane!)."

"When I started seeing Jane many years ago, I had been to quite a few different massage therapists. Some were pretty good. I never knew what massage could do though until I saw Jane. After the first appointment I could already tell my body was making positive changes. I have experienced a few car accidents that resulted in whiplash and had been getting massage and chiropractic for about 20 years. I started seeing Jane every two weeks and in no time I had never felt better.

While regularly seeing Jane I had a bad ice skating accident that resulted in many injuries. Jane had me good as new in as few as 2 weeks. She made it a point to get me in often and taught me invaluable self-care that I still use today – and teach others! I can get by without seeing her as often now because of the things she has taught me.

I am ever so grateful for not only her services, but her kind, loving and generous personality. I know you think your massage therapist is good, but you haven’t seen anything until you see Jane!"

—Saphron

"I am forever grateful to Jane for fixing what ails me and teaching me all about selfcare. I can’t imagine what horrible shape I would be in if I had never met her. I feel like she not only heals my muscles, she also helps me get rid of the toxins that build up from our environment. I believe she has been a huge part of my wellness journey and I cannot thank her enough!!"

—Tracy G.

"Jane Brooks is the only massage therapist I trust to identify & provide an informed diagnosis for what’s best for my aches & pains and overall well-being. I highly recommend her.

Five stars! "

—Michael Vavrus

"Jane does amazing work! She is very intuitive and perceptive in finding problem areas and instinctively applies just the right technique to provide relief. She continues to educate herself to increase her existing broad wealth of knowledge to provide her clients with the highest level of care. Jane is a teacher and always shares her knowledge with her clients so that they have the tools and information needed to improve their self care routines."

—April F.

"I love Jane with The Alabaster Box. Her neurotherapeutic massage will transform your life. She is also a wealth of information and takes the time to teach you how to take care of your ailments at home. I am so grateful to have found her."

—Renae Z.

"I was in a car accident in the fall in which I suffered from leg, back and shoulder pain. I was able to see Jane within 5 days of my car accident. Her therapeutic massage has helped obtain increased range of motion and improved pain relief. She has a thorough knowledge of muscle, bone, and tendon physiology. Her approach to pain relief is from multiple pathways. While providing either hot/cold stones, cups, or warm towels she explains why this method helps. She gives education that can be done at home in a short period of time- she is knowledgable about the best pathway to healing for any person in many different situations. She is passionate about researching new approaches. She is a wonderful, caring, knowledgeable practitioner and I am so thankful that I have been a patient of hers."

—Julia K.

"I think about Jane every single day—sometimes multiple times a day! Whenever I feel a sore muscle or neck or back pain I think "what would Jane tell me to do?" Jane has taught me how to practice self care and allowed me control my pain in between massages. She is a healer and I know all of her clients think of her often and are thankful for her! She spoils me—I can never go to another massage therapist after seeing Jane."

—S.W.

"As a former massage therapist I can speak with authority; Jane is hands down the best massage therapist I have ever had work on me (and I've had a lot!). She has a remarkable ability to find the perfect spot and use the perfect amount of pressure to make your body respond and heal itself. She utilizes hot stones, cold stones, cupping therapy, neuromuscular therapy, deep tissue, and whatever else comes to her mind to bring healing and relief to the body. I walk out of her office feeling like a new person and wondering why I waited so long to come in. Seriously, she is amazing! Go see her!"

— Beth Archer, former LMT

"Jane has magic hands!!! I saw Jane a couple of times to help resolve my frozen shoulder. It's been very helpful and profoundly healing having Jane do her magic on and off the table. I was sent home with amazing home remedy tips, stretches and advice. On the table I received various forms of care and therapy, not just traditional massage. Cupping was an absolute treat, and the hot/cold stones swept me away to a spa somewhere on a luxury island resort! Jane is far beyond a traditional massage therapist - she is a healer and a deeply caring practitioner. I highly recommend her. It's hard to say what I like more: her professional work or personal passion in what she does!"

— Jasmin

"I was a skeptic about massage at first but after seeing the lasting wonderful results it had for my husband I decided to try it to relieve pain I was having. Jane was able to pin point the exact area that was causing the problem and within a few sessions it was gone. I was so thrilled and a believer that now I see Jane regularly to keep my body pain free and improve mobility. She also goes above and beyond with teaching me techniques to do at home to help keep problems areas pain free. I will continue to see Jane for treatment as long as she's able to do so! Thanks Jane!"

— Robin

"I always thought massage was just about making your sore muscles feel better. With Jane it is about body, mind and soul. She takes the time to learn about what is going on with your the body, teaches about self care, and gives the most amazing massage ever."

— Dan

"Jane is amazing. She can determine exactly where the problem is and then she knows what to do to alleviate the pain or tightness. Utilizing her various tools, such as hot and cold stones, or cups, to name a few, she easily integrates them seamlessly into her therapy, knowing which one to use where and when. Plus she shares her knowledge of self care to assist and improve her clients overall well being."

— Rochelle

"Jane Brooks is the second LMP I've been to. I will stay with her as long as she is still working. She listens to you and teaches you tricks to work on yourself. She can get deep down to the root, or be light and fluffy. She is awesome. You won't regret it."

— Scott G

"I have been going to Jane for massage for many years now. She is by far the best massage practitioner I've been to. She has a great knowledge of muscles and anatomy and brings a very healing and therapeutic approach to deep tissue work. She is passionate about her work and has truly found her vocation as a healer. And as an added bonus she's a warm, genuine and delightful person."

— Mary

A Testimonial Story

I have been to many Massage Practitioners but have never experienced anyone like Jane Brooks. You notice what sets her apart from others the minute she greets you & you lay down on her massage table.

Jane provides every possible esthetic for your rest & comfort. Her massage table, luxurious sheets, soft music, etc. all let you capture what massage is all about, leaving the stress behind & setting your body free to heal.

Jane was born to do this type of work. I believe she truly has a gift from God. She loves her work & it shows. She's always studying, going to continuing education classes, finding new techniques & strategies to help her clients heal. She really stresses self care & shares ideas for what you can do at home to stretch your body back into alignment.

Jane uses cupping, ice, heat, stones, you name it. If it will help you heal she will spare no expense to make certain you get what your body needs. She is so much more then a Licensed Massage Practitioner. She is a Healer. Using her instinct & amazing intuitiveness she actually restores your body & releases you from long term pain. It is more then a feel good massage, only to hurt a few hours later.

I was in a car accident at age 16 & had severe back & neck pain that I thought I would have to live with. I can tell you at age 63 that is untrue. After years of trying everything from western medicine to acupuncture to no avail, Jane was able to help my body begin its own healing process. Something no one else despite years of searching had been able to do.

In November of 2013, I fell down the stairs at my home. I immediately knew I was severely injured but I could walk. I went to a highly recommended orthopedist who said I just shook things up & all I needed was some steroids. I explained to him that I had a very important conference to attend that coming weekend & had to fly to Arizona. He maintained that there was nothing serious to worry about & I should just attend as planned. I left in horrific pain & called Jane Brooks to see if she could squeeze me in to her already full schedule. As always, Jane put me in at the end of her day. As she tenderly examined my body she said, "I am not a doctor but I think this is serious & you should see your doctor right away!” I said that I had & he said I was good to travel. She said as your Massage Practitioner I feel obligated to tell you that I don't think you are in any condition to travel. She reiterated that she was NOT a doctor, but she knew my body & something was seriously wrong. She said she didn't feel comfortable to perform massage & recommended that I see another doctor.

I made a new appointment with another highly esteemed orthopedist. Imagine my surprise when the new orthopedist said, "Oh my God, you have broken your back!" I was immediately put in a back brace that I had to wear for 3 long months 24 hours a day.

I could sing Jane’s praises forever but I think this sums it up. After trying for years to get my husband to try massage again, (he had a traumatic experience with a Licensed Massage Practitioner & swore never to go again), however he was in such pain that he finally relented. I knew Jane would be able to help. When he came home he said, "That lady is not a Massage Practitioner, she is a Healer!!" He is so right!!
