Jen Soto

My name is Jennifer Soto, a licensed therapist with 1000+ hours in massage training. I have had the pleasure of helping clients relieve their pain and maintain an overall balance for over 5 years, with 4 years here at Talega Day Spa. I have applied what I have learned over the years, to give each client the most out of each massage. My massage is very detailed and caters to each clients needs. My specialty is Deep Tissue with trigger point therapy; with a consistent flow to help my clients relax while addressing their problem areas

Note From Jen:
"Stress is well known for causing many ailments. Massage is the best treatment money can buy to help relieve stress and keep your body in balance. It is recommended and ideal to have a massage one to two times a week. So the more you can incorporate massage into your lifestyle, even if it is every other week or once a month, you are improving the overall wellness of your body."
Here is what a Client of Jennifer has to say,
"She cares about her clients, she listens to her clients, and her touch is one of healing and compassion. I have used many massage therapists over the years and each one has a unique style but none have had the skills of Jennifer. A massage whether for a medical condition, sports injury or just rejuvenation of spirit is a personal and relaxing experience. I can personally guarantee that a massage experience with Jennifer is one you will want to repeat over and over again. You will leave Talega Day Spa rejuvenated in mind and body, in addition to having made some very special freinds who are there to make your visit enjoyable and memorable"

Most people's steering wheels are too high. Lower it a couple of inches to about chest high. This will put less strain on your neck and shoulder blades.

Meet Dr. Campbell our Chiropractor

Dr. Campbell has been helping people with neck and back pain in Orange County since 1985.  A graduate of Palmer College of Chiropractic, Dr. Campbell takes the time necessary to answer all your questions and provide high quality chiropractic care.

 

He understands and appreciates the relationship between massage and chiropractic adjustments. Muscles hold bones in their position.  If the muscles are tight, due to stress, you can't hold your adjustment as well, or for very long.

 

Dr. Campbell says: "Being the on-site chiropractor is unique because people can be adjusted in a familiar, relaxing environment.  This allows maximum results from their adjustment."

 

With the combination of massage and chiropractic adjustments, you can get incredible results! Truly a match made in heaven.
