Client Testimonials
“I came to see Jennifer at the recommendation of Dr. Jennifer Buchanan’s office, a Marin County dentist specializing in TMJ disorder. Jennifer’s work inside of the mouth, combined with reducing the tension in my neck, has eliminated my headaches and reduced the tension in my jaw. I’m a repeat customer and can’t recommend her more highly.”

“I have been seeing Jen for over 3 years to be treated for chronic conditions. Severe TMJ is one results of those conditions. Jen’s loving care and healing touch have transformed my health. Not only have her services kept me out of pain and crisis mode, but they have led to better overall wellness. I cannot recommend her enough!”

“I was referred to Jennifer by Dr. Jennifer Buchanan, an Asst. Clinical Professor in the Dept. of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at UCSF, who I had seen for persistent jaw pain. Jennifer is fantastic and has really helped to alleviate my pain. She taught me exercises I could do at home to help supplement her TMJ massage, and she has worked with me to figure out how often I should see her depending on my pain and tightness I feel in my jaw. My jaw and neck/head/shoulders feel so much better and I'm still seeing her for maintenance so it doesn't go back to being so constant. I highly recommend her!”
