I truly believe that Marlene has kept me moving. She is an intuitive and knows/feels exactly what my body needs. I am so glad I found her.
Thanks Bev for your kind words. It's a pleasure to work with you.
I had a lower back issue all my life that created multiple crises in adulthood. A year ago it flared up again but this time it didn’t go away on its own. So I went for chiropractic treatments for several months but it just wasn't getting much better. I knew I needed something else. That was when I found Marlene. After the first session, for the first time in my life I was able to get spontaneous movement in the SI joint which had always been locked down. I started sleeping better too because I wasn't being woken up by the pain anymore. In retrospect I realized the more aggressive chiropractic treatments and deep tissue work were just adding noise to the static in my body. But the subtly of Marlene's work is helping my body find the signal again. Or maybe for the first time in my life. I've been seeing Marlene every month since then and every month there's more expansion in the SI joint and hips. I can't explain what's happening but I know it's something good and my back is finally healing. I'm so grateful I found her!
Thanks Meredith for your kind words! It truly is a pleasure working with you and so happy your body received the connection. 🙌
Marlene is great! She has a remarkable way of listening to your body and knows exactly what to do to make everything work together and flow smoothly. Sometimes when I tell her what I think are very different issues going on in my body, she explains how everything is connected and works her magic. I feel like I understand the connections as she explains them and I always feel amazing after our sessions. She is very knowledgeable and her experience doing this type of work is evident. I feel lucky to have found her and I feel amazing!
Thanks Melissa for your kind words! It's a real pleasure to be part of your wellness journey. 🙌
Marlene is excellent at energy work! She really helped my husband through a health crisis and got him back to work!
Thanks K Its a pleasure to work with you and your family. I appreciate it.
Marlene is truly heaven-sent! I went to see her for jaw clenching, and she completely transformed how I feel — my nervous system melted into jello! Every session leaves me deeply relaxed. Marlene has such an intuitive, healing touch and a calming presence that makes you feel instantly at ease. I’ve referred her to family and friends, and they all love her just as much as I do. If you’re looking for someone who genuinely cares and delivers amazing results, look no further.
Kathy, Thank you so much for sharing your experience and your kind words about your bodywork. It's a blessing to work with bodies that ready for changes. 🙌
After experience major neurological impacts from mono and Lyme disease, Marlena was supportive, caring, accommodating and incredibly helpful in helping my daughter deal with balance and other issues. Highly recommend her!
Thank you so much for sharing your experience and your kind words! So happy to help Annie in her healing crisis. It was a pleasure to meet your family. 🤗
I have been working with Marlene for a couple of years. She helps me manage my Psoriatic Arthritis symptoms and has been extremely helpful with my TMJ issues. She also teaches me things to do at home to help myself. She’s incredibly intuitive without being “woo-woo”, and she really knows her stuff! She truly cares about people and I’m very grateful for the care and help she has given me.
Amy, Thank you so much for sharing your experience and your kind words. It's a true pleasure to be part of your wellness journey. 🙌
Went to see Marlene as I had been in a car accident a few months ago and physical therapy hadn't fixed the issue. I was slightly skeptical as I had never done orthobionics before. The difference after seeing her was night and day. My neck muscles have finally relaxed and I have full range of motion again. Sad that I was only here on vacation so I could not see her a second time
Thanks so much for sharing your experience and the help you received. So happy I had the cancelation and it worked out for you. When you get back to the Valley and would like a tune-up contact in advance. I have a possible lead for you in Scottsdale for a Ortho-Bionomy practitioner.
Marlene does great work!
Thanks Besty, it's a pleasure to work with you. Can you please share a four star over a five star? I'm always looking for ways to improve my services. 🤗
Marlene is always interested in any body/health concern I share and moves into that area with gentleness and insight. She is a life long learner, and continues to expand her knowledge and skills. As I leave a session, I feel well-cared for and relaxed.
Thanks for kind words. It's been a pleasure being a part of your wellness journey. 🙌
