Prana Llama Mindful Bodywork

Jimena has given me consistently excellent massages for the last few years. She's very professional and uses highly effective techniques. I've had chronic neck stiffness that has greatly improved.

I went tp see Jimena for a massage at Prana llama mindful bodywwork and was totally impressed; she did a great job working out my tension . She has a nice quiet stidio in northeast and offers reasonable package discounts too. check her out

I went for a massage with Jimena at Prana llama and since she's a runner she knows just what to do for my tired legs. She's incredible, very dynamic massage mixing deep tissue/sports with some nice relaxation so you can float on out of her studio cabin. Her location was easy to find near Alberta co-op, and the parking was easy breezy. My friend who has been seeing her for pregnancy - prenantal massage sent me to her & she obviously has a wide range of techniques to offer. She's a yoga teacher too- which I found really helpful since I almost never stretch enough after I run. I highly recommend her to anyone training for Nike Hood to Coast ; get some good recovery for those hardworking legs before or after- I'm gonna do both!

Jimena is an excellent therapist, she listens well to your requests and offers a wide variety of tretments. Most recently with our wonderfully long summer days I have been going for massage in the morning and it's been the best way to start off my day off. I've gone in at lunch as well and it's delightfully nutured me the rest of my day. She has a lovely little cabin off Alberta that is surprisingly quiet. Her office was easy to find and park. Many thanks!

I went to Pranallama for a massage last week and loved every minute of it. Jimena has strong hands & left me on cloud nine. Her work focused on the areas I asked for- legs & neck- yet left me feeling like a had my whole body smoothed out. I highly recommend her to anyone wanting to try a new therapist as they are extra active this summer. She has taught yoga for some time & offers a unique perspective on self-care. Cheers

I live off NE Alberta & found Jimena at Prana Llama last week. Her massage was lovely! I love the variety of techniques she combined, I felt worked over- but very relaxed. She has strong hands and great music to let you drift off. I had not had a massage for a few months & was amazed at all the tense spots she found. I am able to walk there in about 15 minutes from my house & will totally be going back to see her again in a few weeks. Her massage/ bodywork cabin is awesome; I felt at home right away. Go to have a massage with her- it was deeply relaxing.

I went to Pranallama for the first time last week & loved my massage. I am attempting to make it a more regular habit promting me to stay healthy & reward my new running training efforts with some good relaxation & fatigued leg recovery. I couldn't believe how well Jimena knew where to go and the strong pressure she gave. She greets you with a warm smile. Her office is a cozy little cabin off Alberta street that's been given a Peruvian theme - since that's where her family is from. She has beautiful artwork & nice natural light, that just puts you at ease when you walk in. I had just finished the Widmer brewery / bridge run & had some seriously achey legs. I got in on her new office offer for $40- which was fabulously cheap & I am going back to see her in a couple weeks. Don't miss out on Portland's newest best kept massage secret.

Prana Llama is the most accepting laid-back healing space I've been to in a long time. She has taken a cabin & made this tranquil studio oasis in Alberta Arts. Jimena always listens & is consistently intuitive; she knows when to apply focused work with great pressure, & when to ease up -adapting to what my body needs that day. I have been going to see her for about a year every two weeks & felt i should write something since I use citysearch all the time & find peoples personal notes quite helpful. She's always professional & informative offering me strecthes & yoga postures to work with. I live near the Alberta Co-op and Tin shed and love this neighboroohd so the the best part is that I can walk to my massages now that she's moved her office to NE Alberta! I highly recommend a soothing visit to Prana llama Mindful Bodywork, I'm certainly hooked.

Pranallama is a must try! I have been back a few times & adore Jimena. She's receptive & genuine. You can tell she loves what she does , very professional & she is just down to earth. I met her and felt at ease; it's not a stuffy sterile spa, it's what she calls the urban bodywork cabin. I loved being in the space she created - a little retreat in the city. She offers lots of styles & plenty o'discounts. I went in for a swedish relaxing flowy massage the first time & left floating down Alberta st to meet a friend for tea. The next time was just after a 10k run and she worked my legs like never before. Great streches and movement, not just an oil bath. I highly recommend you schedule a massage with her. She is a yoga teacher too, so she can explain some things you can do at home to help your healing along. Fantastic!!!

I love to get massages & had not been doing it as a routine for sometime. My old therapist moved & I had not found anybody to go & see, so I asked a friends who led me to Prana llama mindful bodywork. Jimena was simply delightful. She was friendly & has a darling cabin-oasis in the Alberta arts district with a peruvian motif. Her style is quite dynamic, she blends some nice relaxing techniques to help you relax with her deep tissue work & yummy aromatherapy. She's also very affordable which never hurts;- nice discounts for her new location & package rates. I do notice a big difference when i get regular massage sessions & was so happy with her work, so I rescheduled for next month & very much look forward to it . check out the prana llama urban bodywork cabin & you won't be sorry! cheers

Jimena gave me the bast massage I've had in years. I moved up from California about 6 months ago & my sister gave me a gift certificate for my birthday, & I simply fell in love with her style. She gave me a fullbody, deep tissue & used some incredible aromatic oils. Her pressure was great; it was relaxing & yet she found all those spots that needed to be stretched & smoothed out. I could hardly get off that super-comfy table & slept better than i had in a long time. Her gift certificate was especially made for birthdays too!

As a massage therapist, I am very picky when it comes to massage. Prana Llama is one of my favorite places to go. Jimena is very knowledgeable about massage, and I trust her when it comes to treating problem areas. She does great deep tissue work, and I always end up so relaxed at the end of my massage. The studio is very cozy and warm, and there is wonderful padding on the tables. The down blanket is so cozy, I feel like I'm in a cocoon! I highly recommend Prana Llama!

prana llama is a lovely place to receive massage and craniosacral bodywork. located in a neat old multilevel home on east burnside, prana llama is a lovely space where you can really relax your body and mind, allowing the full benefit of the treatment to take effect. jimena is always courteous, warm, friendly, and genuinely interested in how her treatment is working for you. she takes her time, remembers what your body issues are, and accommodates her approach according to your specific needs each time you lie on her table. she is a terrific therapist and i routinely recommend her to friends looking for restorative, relaxing bodywork. plus, she is a native bilingual (english/spanish), which is a nice perk for those clients who may have need of that skill. and as if all that weren't enough, there's always a chocolate bite to treat yourself to at massage end - who could ask for anything more? ; )

I have to compliment Jimena Galvez for her massage therapy skills. I have gone to see her twice and felt incredible relief in my legs both times. I have two jobs involving a lot of standing and lifting-and a very hectic schedule; both times I've called her for appointments she has returned my call promptly and has been able to offer me appointments in the next few days. I exercise early in a.m. & have been able to schedule massages after those workouts - optimum timing! I highly recommend her massages- & if you are an athlete in training it really makes a difference in your recovery time. thanks pranallama

I have been to pranallama four times now & have had superb experiences each visit. I went in the first time to just relax and unwind, but realized it had been so since i had a massage long that I could really use another visit. I noticed that JImena was offering a discounted pack of four and decided to get one. I had a swedish with some triggerpoints worked thru, 2 deep tissue sessions, and a craniosacral. she has great techniques that get to those knots & still leave you feeling refreshed. check out pranallama, you won't be disappointed!

hello there, I'm writing a quick note to recommend Jimena at Prana llama mindful bodywork. She's the best massage therapist I've seen in Portland. I'm a busy mom who is training for her first triathalon & I totally needed some quality leg work. She simply listens to what you ask and provides you with a session that's unique to your requests. I've been to many good therapists who seem to offer a decent massage, but it's really comforting to go to someone who gets right to your concern. She's also a yoga teacher and gave me some great advice on stretching I can do at home. it's nice to leave feeling like you have a tool you can use when that tension creeps on. her office is cozy & warm and she does great work on tired legs. thanks jimena

Jimena is so nurturing; I went in to see her last week for an hour of swedish just to relax my nagging shoulders & neck & then had a craniosacral treatment after. I left feeling totally refreshed and relaxed & her office is just so cozy for a rainy fall day. I highly recommend her & the craniosacral combo was fantastic wonderful

last week I had a massage with Jimena after a friend recommended her to me & now I highly recommend her too. She has a great touch; it's calming, yet she worked with my troubled neck for long enough that it looseded and she could get in deeper. She checked in with me after a little bit to make sure I was comfortable with pressure and temperature and her table is soooo incredibly comfy. I felt she was took the time to focus on what I asked for- in the past I have had a massage for twice the price without any reguard for what I needed that day- but not at pranallama! She also played this lovely brazilian music that helped me escape my day. I was really impressed with the variety of treatments she offers- so I will be back

I just went in to see Jimena for some neck pain & tension headaches I have had for a few weeks. She was so nurturing and really has excellent techniques. She worked trigger points and then with some craniosacral which was new to me, & I loved it. I could move my neck in every direction, and just felt like a new woman. I certainly recommend Pranallama and craniosacral for anyone with a stiff neck. I'm hooked. Thanks Jimena!

I recently moved to Portland & have been several places for massage. I had good experiences, but nothing stood out until I went to see Jimena at Pranallama. She very talented, i really recommend her if your looking for high quality work that you can afford to recieve often. She has great package discounts to make coming in more often fit into your budget. I left feeing totally relaxed! Thanks so much jimena!

I recently had a massage at pranallama & highly recommend Jimena. She gave me a 90 minute sports massage with a fusion of streching and deep tissue style work. I loved it. her office is in a beautiful old portland home and is quite cozy. I noticed her interesting display of gift certificates for all sorts of occasions & got a birthday design for my sister. thanks a million!

I love Pranallama bodywork! I've been there several times & Jimena continues to exceed my expectations. I initially went in for tension headaches & terrible upper shoulder pain. I've seen her four times & my shoulders have eased up & my headaches have greatly decreased. I work at a computer all day & really needed to relax. each time I go in there I'm able to let go & refresh. I'm so grateful to her for the relief & will be sending my friends. Namaste!

A massage at Prana Llama Mindful Bodywork is simply the best. I have had a lot of massage over the years & was delighted with my experience there. Jimena has a calming space & the most comfortable table I've been on. She gave me a 90 minute pre-natal treatment & I left one very happy customer. Her style was soothing, but she still did some deep work on my shoulders & low back. My husband surprised me at our baby shower with her Prana llama mama's package. I can't wait for my next massage. She's clearly dedicated to her work. Thanks Jimena

Recently I visited Pranallama for a deep tissue massage & found it to be the best I've ever had. Jimena makes you feel right at home and is really quite attentive. She has strong hands for being a petite person! I could hardly get up off the table after my hour long massage, but when I finally did I was totally refreshed. I had been out for a long bike ride before seeing her & her calf & foot work was awesome! She offers early morning appointments which fit my wacky schedule perfectly! thanks so much Jimena

Last week I had my first massage at Pranallama and it was exactly what I was looking for. jimena offered several focused techniques for my tired legs. I'm an avid runner and love to get bodywork, but don't do it very often. My boyfriend purchased a 120 minute hot stone aromatherapy massage for my birthday and it was the best present he's gotten me! I highly recommend Jimena; she gives excellent attention to the details with the trigger point therapy. She seems to find where your achey muscles are really pulling from affecting how much you can move around a joint. After that session my hip joints felt like they could move more freely. I will most certainly be back soon. namaste, Caitlin

Dedicated professional specializes in massages to stimulate your mind, release tension and revitalize your body.

So I had another outstanding session with Jimena at pranaLlama & loved every minutes of it. She has a great way of helping you forget what you had going on before you came in- no matter how stressful. I had a wonderful hour and a half swedish massage. it was really relaxing. Jimena does incredible work with the feet and calves. I originally found her at the Barefoot Sage a couple years back and go in to see her once a month. I've found that getting bodywork done once a month really helps me stay connected with my body & more aware of how I'm breathing from day to day. jimena offers affordable packages so go check her out- you won't be sorry!

I went to see Jimena last week for the first time & was totally content with my experience. She listened closely to what was bothering me & providied excellent relief. I woke up with a spasm in my neck and shoulder and when I called her- she was able to give me an appointment the next morning! I didn't sleep very well, but was able to relax on her table, and my neck really loosened up. I highly recommend Jimena; she is nurturing and offers a wide variety of techniques. Her central location on Burnside was easy to find and I was verry happy she was able to accomodate me so soon. Thanks again pranallama!

A massage with Jimena Galvez is like no other - relaxing, satisfying and rewarding. Her approach is multidimensional: she will treat your mind, body and spirit equally to a balanced massage that will leave you feeling rejuvenated and refreshed. Her technique is strong and masterful, while her personality is soft and nurturing, so you feel physically relaxed and also at ease, as though you are with a good friend, and not just a stranger in a spa. Treat yourself today - your body will thank you!

I have seen Jimena at Pranallama for the last few months and she continues to provide me with detailed work everytime I see her. I am a runner who doesn't like to stretch and getting a biweekly massage has really helped my performance. It's exactly what I need to allow my body to fully rest for an hour. I feel great when I leave there and I've noticed that I have more ease when I take a run the following day. She combines deep work with nurturing relaxation very evenly. She's also a yoga teacher, and has consistently given me new ideas of what I can do at home to keep me feeling more fluid in between our sessions. I certainly recommend her to anyone who run; she does excellent work for the hips, legs and feet!!!

Wow, what can I say that would sum up my experience? Superb! Jimena provided a therapeutic massage that really made me feel excellent for a week after. She really listened to what I had to say and modelled her massage based on this input. I just came over from the UK and this was my first experience with massage after leaving behind my favorite therapist across the pond. I need not go further, I have found my favorite therapist on this side of the water. I hope to see her as much as my budget allows. Cheers to Jimena!

I had a wonderful experience with PranaLlama last week when I had a two hour Hot Stone Aromatherapy Massage session with Jimena. She not only placed warm stones on my body to help my muscles relax, but she combined it with a firm massage. I love stone work and have been to several spas that offer it, but with very gentle work. I love deep tissue work and was pleased that Jimena still provided me with firm pressure and offered me several essential oils to choose from on top of that! I felt extremely relaxed and recommend it!

I was really impressed with Jimena's technique & relaxing setting. I had built up a lot of stress n my shoulders and hips. Upon entering her studio, I felt that I was transported to a comfortable cloud high in the Andes. The Peruvian flare in the massage studio made me forget the worries I had had. Her ability to check in with my massage met my needs perfectly. In addition, her rates are a great value for the service. I would gladly return to Jimena even if she increased her rates because it is well worth it.

Jimena was very intuitive about the areas of tension in my body! her communication was excellent, and very much appreciated with my deep tissue massage. I was very impressed with her strength and gentleness. I will definitely be returning to her soon. I highly recommend PranaLlama Mindful Bodywork!

I recently went to PranaLlama & Jimena made me feel right at home as soon as we met. I went in for a 90 minute session, & it had been at least three months since I had a massage- so I was very happy to be in her care. Her hands were warm and soothing which really helped me to relax. I had a really hard time getting up off the table, but when I finally did, I felt lighter and more grounded. This was one of the best massages I've ever had. I left feeling fabulous, thank you Jimena!
