"Hi, my name is Anna, I live in California and I’m a holistic health practitioner and massage therapist – I specialize in Ayurvedic bodywork and I just received my first Kansa Wand facial. I feel very relaxed, grounded and kind of like my face got a little workout. What I mean by that is that it feels really relaxed but a little firmer. I feel just blessed-out so thank you! As a massage therapist - I’ve been doing massage therapy for about 18 years - I don’t really use a lot of tools other than my hands, but with the Kansa wand I didn’t feel a ‘disconnect’, it actually felt very healing and natural. I think it would, as a therapist, actually be beneficial to the wear and tear with your hands, but being able to get in there and make the person feel more relaxed, easier. It felt very thorough when she did the back of my head and the top of my shoulders and it’s pretty amazing that it’s not her hands doing it, it’s the Kansa tool. It felt very healing. This is the medium Kansa sized Wand, and I would love to try to see what this would feel like giving a massage, especially a therapeutic massage where the person may have more muscle tension and pain. So far, from the little bit of experience I had today from this, I think it would really be beneficial to helping the client relax and let go of the pain on those key areas. I look forward to using it!"

AFTER FOOT MASSAGE 

"My name is Donna and I’m a client of Melanie and Bob’s. The first thing I noticed was the fragrance of the ghee when we first started. It was really pleasant, the rosemary that’s in the ghee. It felt really great to just smooth that all over your feet. To begin with, it felt kind of awkward to be working on my foot, especially with my left hand. But then after a bit, it just felt more natural and there’s a rhythm that you get as you move the wand, and it feels really natural and smooth. By then it was really comfortable. It was very soothing. The other thing that I was struck by, when I finished one foot and I put my feet down, was the coloration difference and the sensation difference between my feet. The foot that I had done with the wand was much brighter, it felt really alive and both warm and cool at the same time. The second foot, when I did that, it was much easier. One of the things I noticed was that, like Robert said, it definitely doesn’t feel like metal. It just feels smooth, no rough points or anything – just very relaxing. My feet feel relaxed and my whole body feels alive."


AFTER FACE MASSAGE 

"The wand is really light and when you use it, it feels like it’s flowing – almost like liquid up and down across. For me the really relaxing place is on the temples and the cheeks – I tend to carry some tension here in my face so when I would go across the cheeks, that was really lovely. I probably could spend a little more time in that area. What I’m feeling now, what’s amazing to me is that all we’ve touched is this part of my body and I can literally feel it all the way down to my arms and down my legs as if all of my body has been touched and rubbed and massaged. I like the idea that I can do this fairly quickly and get a result that changes the way my entire body feels."


AFTER BODY MASSAGE 

"I feel like I just woke up from an incredible nap, a really sound sleep after the treatment. The sensations that I’m feeling in my body right now feel cool and there is just an overall very relaxed sensation in my body. What I remember from the treatment is that when these two points were worked on, I could feel the calmness in my body. When I was on my back and the points on my chest were being worked on, I felt the relaxation go down my arms significantly. When I came back to the other side and the temples were done, I could lightly smell the nutmeg and it was a lovely scent. I felt a deep sleep sensation and now feel refreshed and super calm. I do run a panic and anxiety vibe, I have a little history with that, I’ve had some panic attacks in the last year or so. What’s happening now is that this whole chest cavity is relaxed, which is incredible because it was only a few points. I’m just amazed at this overall calm feeling and how my mind is quiet to the point that articulating isn’t simple right now. This treatment happened after a challenging phone call this morning too so I’m really appreciating the contrast that I’m feeling in my body between when I came in and felt tense, and how I’m feeling restful now."

"Hi, I’m Deb Perkinson and I’m an Ayurvedic practitioner, a water therapist and I also teach gyrotonic. I also use the Kansa on my clients, I have not used it on myself in full body before so this was a unique experience for me. I felt things in my body that I haven’t felt in quite a while, and what was interesting was when I was using it in my lower extremities, I could get a little itch in my nose or my ears would pop, as well as my spine which indicates to me that I was having openings which is quite nice, frankly. The sphere shape fits into the areas much nicer than other tools that I’ve used. It’s soothing, it has this wonderful sense of this energy that comes into the body and allows for the interstitial fluids to move more. I could feel the energy changing in my body. I feel much tighter. My skin, my muscles feel awake, my feet feel more centred and my liver feels a little bit more cleansed as well." 

DEB PERKINSON

"My short treatment with Robert was truly incredible. Even just doing it for that short period of time in 10 minutes, I felt an immediate shift. It’s just incredible how quickly that type of regime can help you to shift into a more relaxed stage. I got off the table and had to go teach a qi gong class and I felt like it already put me in that space. So when I drove, I felt really calm and relaxed driving, and when I was teaching I felt like I had already shifted into that more grounded state before I even started the class. This actually influenced my students to feel better too, I think I taught a better class so all the way around it’s been a good day since this morning. 

I’m an Ayurvedic practitioner and a yoga instructor and a qi gong instructor as well, so I have a little bit of background in this area. I really like this tool; I’ve experienced this before just working with myself on it, and just having a practitioner use it on me is different than somebody giving you a hands-on massage. It felt more powerful and, as Robert was saying when he was working on the stomach area, it felt less intrusive than if someone was working with their hands on that area and it actually felt really soothing to my whole digestive system. I could feel movement going on. I think it’s really important to be able to touch and work the area because all of our organs are right there. Most therapists ignore that area, and if you have that tool, it creates a little bit of a distance in that – like I said, you’re not working with your hands but it’s much more effective. I really like the tool and feel like it’s got a lot of healing qualities to it that bring your massage or therapy to a different level."

HOLLY PADOVE

"Hi, I’m Deborah and I live here in the beautiful central coast. I’m originally from Germany and I moved here because of the friendliness of the people, the sunshine and the good food. Today I got the Kansa Wand massage for my feet. I have been doing a lot of yoga and a lot of dance in the last two years and I sometimes really feel it in my feet; they get tired. After this massage I feel really good, it feel so much lighter and refreshed. During the massage I really enjoyed the coolness of the metal of the wand and how gentle the treatment is. There is no pressure like sometimes with other foot massages which use a lot of pressure on several points and that can be really painful. This doesn’t hurt at all, it’s a very pleasant and relaxing experience. I was really surprised to see how black the tissue was and my feet still look a little black on the sole. I wasn’t even aware I had so much acidity in me but I guess I had a lot of stress recently because I moved and had to pack and unpack all my things and it took a while. So maybe that stress still shows in my feet. All in all it’s a wonderful experience and my feet really feel as if they are new. I can’t wait to dance tonight. The Kansa wand is such an extraordinary tool, it really feels different than other tools that people have used for Marma massage or reflexology. It is gentle, effective, cool and very relaxing."

DEBORAH

"My name is Andrea and I’m a filmmaker locally here and I probably have just had the best massage ever. 

The nice thing about this was that the face was smooth and I didn’t feel fingernails digging in to me with regular hand massage. It was able to go deep without feeling elbows pushing in or poking and prodding and I don’t have to worry about tickle spots on the back. It was a nice firm massage technique that didn’t poke and prod at me so it wasn’t invasive. 

The foot massage was nice and deep and I stand on my feet a lot for filming 12-14 hour days so I don’t feel my feet anymore -sometimes they go numb - and I actually felt energy going through them. I remembered that there are toes connected to the feet so this was a very relaxing and rejuvenating treatment for my feet.  

Robert and Melanie’s treatment style is very gentle and not invasive. Firm, but welcoming and they have a very kind touch and presence to them. A massage can be very uncomfortable for some people – you’re naked on a table – but they don’t make you feel uncomfortable. They make you feel very welcomed and it’s an experience that is relaxing and calming. 

The tool’s very different, I was a little hesitant when I first saw these tools - they didn’t seem as if they would be as effective as hands and elbows and body weight but they clearly are and I probably got a deeper massage from the tool. The tool is very even and feels smooth on the skin so it’s not like rock, it was very gentle and very soothing. 

I’m hooked!"

"My name is Eric and I’m 51 years old. I just worked a 10-hour day, I got up at 5 o’clock this morning and I’ve been staring at a computer screen most of the day. I came home, feeling pretty tired like I usually do. Typically I’ll have a glass of wine and I’ll feel even more tired afterwards. I just used the tool on my face for a few minutes and I feel fantastic. I feel wide awake like I just woke up from a nap, which is awesome. I’m going for a walk on the beach with my wife and daughter in a few minutes and instead of dragging my feet I’ll be fully energized."
