Client Testimonials

My body was brittle and broken. Now I am supple and strong. I think Giselle must practice witchcraft.‎
~Andrew Swartz, Coach - Crossfit Vancouver

Truly Excellent! - I have had 5 1-to-1 sessions with Giselle (for stretch therapy) & one group class. Very intense and high payoff. If you think stretching is boring or marginally useful, think again. Giselle's high power Sretch Therapy/PNF style stretching accomplishes a huge amount in a short time. I have had hip and shoulder tightness for a number of years and I can feel it dissolving away.‎

Six months ago I was experiencing severe chronic back pain. A respected friend recommended Giselle so highly I thought what have I to loose. After one session of Giselle's stretch and release and massage techniques I felt there was hope. Six months later with a combination of Giselle's knowledge, intuition, inspiration and my own dedication towards my own well being, 90% of he pain has been alleviated, and I have regained the freedom to do so many physical activities that give me life. Now, I recommend Giselle to friend and stranger alike who tell me of their physical woes, after all what have they to loose.

The Postnatal Care Program was the best "push" my husband could have given me! Giselle is the absolute best; having those daily massages helped me lose fluid quickly, heal my body and transition through my hormonal "crash" and "baby blues" in a healthy, soothing way. I truly believe that you have to take care of yourself in order to be a good Mom - Happy Mom happy baby!

I attended your stretching workshop at Crossfit Vancouver on Sunday, September 20th. It was phenomenal! I struggle with sleep difficulties and had the best night's sleep in years! My hip flexors loosened up like you would not believe - well actually you would believe it! I was in a car accident last year and ended up with whiplash. I would love to learn some exercises that target my neck and shoulders.

After giving birth to our daughter my husband gave me the Cocoon Wellness Postnatal Care Program which was a package of daily massages for twenty consecutive days! It helped me lose fluid, regain muscle tone, stimulate my circulation and heal in a gentle way. I also had the option of letting my husband have some of the massages (which helped me too!) I learned that our culture does not allow enough time for post natal recuperation and in taking the time to rest and heal actually made me a lot stronger in the long run. I signed up immediately after the birth of our next child and recommend this to every one. It truly is a Gift of Love. I hope that more mothers will experience it's tremendous benefits.
~Dianne Carruthers Wood, Vancouver

A year ago, I had a massage by Giselle for the first time. I immediately knew how different that massage was! Giselle is energetic, intuitive, and sensitive. Whether she is demonstrating stretches or working on knotted and shortened muscles, I know I am being cared for and protected. Giselle is dedicated to her clients and committed to each of us being comfortable in our own body in terms of flexibility, strength, and general well being. A Cocoon Wellness treatment is a pure delight!
~Nance Bass, Vancouver

After a session with Giselle I am able to run for longer periods of time because my muscles feel so much more relaxed. I have even noticed a huge improvement in my posture thanks to Giselle! She is an amazing instructor; she is knowledgeable and adapts her stretches to the capabilities of her participants. I highly recommend the Stretch Therapy Program for anyone who has not routinely done stretching as part of their fitness program.
~Bev Stanwood, Vancouver

Giselle is one of the most intuitive and informed therapists that I have ever encountered. She is constantly challenging herself to keep in touch with current techniques/therapies and is an avid (but gentle) coach in promoting personal well-being. If you have the opportunity to have a treatment with Giselle, you will be spoiled for a lifetime.
~Melanie Cassidy, Vancouver

Giselle takes special care and attention, not only to rid me of my aches and pains, but to show me how to stretch out problem areas that will encourage flexibility. She is very skilled and has a vast knowledge of the human anatomy - this becomes very apparent when you feel as good as you do after an appointment with her, and in the days to follow.
~Tamara Cassidy, Vancouver

“What can I say... Giselle is fabulous! There is no question that she is very knowledgeable about helping you achieve wellness. I appreciate her council in the areas of exercise, stretching and diet, her skills as a therapist, and her capacity to motivate me to take ownership of my health. I’ve introduced my two children to her as well. Giselle's exuberance, focus and good humour have rubbed off on them too. I feel very fortunate to have her in my life!
~Brigitte Prochaska, Vancouver
