Patient Testimonials
"The first time I went to see Marilyn Berta we talked for a while and then she asked me if I wanted my session to have a special focus. I told her that I wanted her to "massage my soul!" I know this sounds pretty esoteric, perhaps too Santa Cruzian. I felt so renewed after my session that it has now become a tradition in my family to purchase gift certificates for a massage with Marilyn whenever we have a birthday, holiday, or just because."
Paul Wrangell
"When I have a session with Marilyn I leave with a profound sense of connection to All That Is. Plant Spirit Medicine has a way of taking one back to the place where peace comes from. I always feel I am a few inches off the ground when I walk out of her office."
