Testimonials

“I cannot recommend Deanne Falzone enough! I was at the tail end of my pregnancy and in extreme hip pain that was making it difficult to walk. I was referred to her and am so grateful. Not only did she help relieve my pain, her kind and gentle spirit held space for me to have a true moment of self care that helped re-center an otherwise stressful journey. My last week of pregnancy was pain free AND I credit her care with helping me shift my state of mind that allowed me to have a much more positive birthing experience. Thank you, Deanne!”

“I had a lot of hip and back pain during my pregnancy and turned to massage to try to relieve the pain. An initial massage at a traditional spa left me uncomfortable about whether the methods were safe for baby and me during pregnancy. I had given up until I found Deanne! Her expertise and thoughtfulness left me completely at ease and able to actually enjoy the massage. She was wonderful and I loved our regular appointments, and was in much less pain following them. They undoubtedly made my last few months of pregnancy more bearable!!!”

“Meticulous, gentle, thorough, effective, efficient massage therapist that I have ever met in the Seattle area is who Deanne is and the best part is: She comes to your home and provides you a massage experience that you may not have experienced in any studio before. I got to know Deanne in my childbirth classes where she was an educator; her energy and attention to details even in the class lectures was infectious. Then I got to know that outside giving these lectures; she provides prenatal and postnatal massages; I had to give her a shot. And I was not disappointed. I had a 36 hour of long labor after which I suffered a serious tail bone pain. I took massage sessions from Deanne for consecutive 6 weeks which got me enough relief so I could start leading normal day to day life. Every session we will start with a review; how my muscles are doing; areas of focus and then entire massage session will follow along what we discussed. Almost every time I have dozed off during her sessions; that's how much relaxation I had felt with Deanne's in home services. I am advanced maternal age individual with a high chance of suffering from postpartum depression; fortunately, I did not have to go through that experience, and I am very confident Deanne's sessions played a big role in that. I cannot THANK Deanne enough for her services in the time when I needed them the most in the comfort of my own home and I will certainly be using her again as I prepare for my next pregnancy journey.” 

“I contacted Within Balance about a postpartum massage in my home to celebrate the end of my "fourth trimester." After a difficult pregnancy and traumatic labor, my doctor recommended some body work to help continue the healing process. I am so grateful I found Deanne's services. She took the time to listen to where my body needed care and support and then provided the exact treatment to address those concerns. Though I was hesitant about whether I would be able to benefit from massage at this time post-birth (traveling away from baby, laying stomach down on a table as breastfeeding person, feeling so sore and emotionally sensitive, etc.), Deanne's expertise with the postpartum body put me at ease: she traveled to my home, arranged her table with series of well-placed pillows so I could be comfortable, and gently assisted me as we moved through the treatment. I am so appreciative of how I felt after my time with Deanne: heard and healed. I would whole-heartily recommend Within Balance to any new mom needing postpartum body care.”
