I have experienced adjustments from many chiropractors, but Dr. Skefich is my favorite because of her gentle adjusting and her confident, calm presence that stays with me when I walk out the door. Previously I had 3-day migraines and head pressure, and foot bones jammed into painful positions. She has specific exercises to recommend for each specific situation which goes well beyond what I have seen in most chiropractors.

Dr. Skefich knows what to do for the person who is in pain. Whether the pain is from an auto accident, a sports injury, a herniated disc, or just from "out of the blue, ".you need help.

The body has a pulse that is called the cranio-sacral rhythm. It is the pulse of the spine. Just like the heart has a beat to circulate blood, and the lungs have a breath to circulate air, the spine has a pulse to circulate spinal fluid. It is a very slow and very subtle pulse, but it is real motion, and not just "energy" moving.

Dealing with high levels of chronic body pain is really hard but when i can save up for Vital You products it always eases some of the pain! They are so helpful with any customization. The higher mg cbd bath bombs really relax me. And finally tried the Deep Relief Salve and it has really helped my neck & shoulders.

Sylvia is the best in this county hands down. Having been in the trade of health and healing for over 25+years I'm picky. Having been to a bajillion chiropractors, physical therapists, body workers, etc. From Marin to Santa Cruz and everything in between, she is one of the best. Sylvia is authentic, intuitive, present, and honest. Knows her stuff and has a wealth of knowledge. If she can't help you she will know someone who can. Check her out!

I suffer with chronic pain and was searching high and low for a CBD bath bomb that would relax me and relieve my pain, The bath is the only thing that helps subside it. WELL I didn't know what a treat I was in for! Not only do these help with my chronic pain but they are beautifully crafted, smell amazing and have crystals inside! I recommend these to all of my friends! And the owner is literally the sweetest woman! highly recommend you try!

I love Vital You! Their bath bombs and skin care products are amazing. The CBD bath bombs have helped me in so many ways from painful PMS, sore muscles, skin, and overall relaxation! They only use the best ingredients for their products which is why I will always chose Vital You!

I bought a couple of these on a whim from my naturopath--they got me with the crystal that comes with it! I now have a basket full of them for self care days, they are that amazing. The scents are perfection, my skin feels nourished and the CBD soothes my body and helps me sleep. Plus, flowers and a magic crystal--what could be better?!

I had gradual back pain that was getting worse, and when I woke up in the morning I could hardly stand up or walk. I was in a panic because I'm from out of town. I called 10 chiropractors pleading for help and nobody would see me.except Amber the massage therapist. I thought I needed a chiropractor which was my usual, but I was desperate so I booked a massage.

I learned a major lesson! I had better results with Ambers 90 minute massage than I normally do with a chiropractor. Last time this happened it took me 3 visits to my chiropractor (which I continue to love) and I was in bed for days. This time, with Ambers help, I was feeling almost totally normal the next day! The kind receptionist who returned my call (other places did not even bother) and the lightning fast booking with Amber saved me when I was desperate for help, and she did such a wonderful job that I booked another session with her before leaving town. I'll be back to visit Amber when I come back to visit Santa Cruz. Highly recommend! Five stars all the around! Thank you Amber! I am eternally grateful!

These people don't take new patients.never heard of this. I don't know if this is a California thing or not. We travel.

These bath bombs are amazing. I have very dry, sensitive skin and these left me feeling smooth, moisturized and very relaxed and happy. I love the seasonal bath bomb "Joy." It smells wonderful and is a beautiful gift to give and receive. These are very helpful for my monthly cramps and just a pure pleasure to use for self-care rituals. They are very high quality, natural and created with intention and care for the planet.

I am a natural skin and bodycare professional, as well as a flower essence practitioner, who is obsessed with high-level bath bombs and therapeutic bath soaks. Vital You bath bombs are the ULTIMATE bath ally. Not only are the formulations thoughtful and powerful, they are beautiful, fun and most importantly, they really work! There are so many incredible ones to choose from. You really owe it to yourself to check them out!

I picked up the Serenity bath bomb from Camino Massage in Colorado Springs on a whim, and I am SO glad I did! I am a bath guru and have tried almost every product out there without being overly impressed with any until this! The bath bomb was beautiful, luxurious, and so relaxing. I immediately got online and ordered several more to have shipped. So impressed and will be a customer for a long time to come!

I first received bath bombs as a gift. I treasure a good bath experience and these CBD bath bombs are the best I've ever had! I immediately ordered Christmas gifts and can't wait to share Vital You with my friends and family! The customer service is impeccable, including a hand written "thank you" note with my order and samples to try! I will 100% be ordering regularly! Thank you Vital You!

I have seen Sylvia and Christine for several years. I suffered a severe back injury and my recovery had plateaued which led me to try cranial sacral therapy. I felt relief of my pain right away after seeing Sylvia, and although it would return, eventually I found after a few appointments the results lasted much longer each time and I was able along with physical therapy to mostly return to my normal activities.

Most importantly I have been able to lie down again and sleep which had been very difficult. I now go in occasionally for "tune-ups" (my term) to have my spinal column decompressed. Both Sylvia and Christine are great, they each have slightly different approaches but are wonderful practitioners.

I found Jenna on instagram after I became obsessed with CBD bath bombs and I am so in love! Her quality and customer service is unmatched! The bath bombs are created with natural ingredients and she even puts them in little mesh bags for a mess free experience. I was ordering from a california company before and the shipping costs were outrageous and the bath bombs were the lowest of quality so I am so happy that I have found Vital You - She gives a local discount to those in colorado and it is a huge help. Jenna recently helped create custom made BathBombs so that I could put them in my bridesmaids box! If you are looking for a way to make your evening bath even more relaxing be sure to hit this site up! Jenna is always so nice and responds quickly to messages.

I recently had a massage with their in house masseuse, Amber and I highly recommend her. Her demeanor is friendly, calm and gentle. The massage space is peaceful. She was definitely in tune with my trigger points. & although soothing she was in tune with my trigger points and was able to go deep. It was a relaxing and therapeutic massage. The rate was more than reasonable and even though its onI 41st Ave. there was adequate free parking. I will definitely be going back! Hopefully on a regular basis. A++!.

I had been experiencing intense pain for a week in my hips and low back to the point that walking and daily living was challenging. I am so grateful to Dr. Skefich for her quick response to my messages (on a Sunday!) and getting me an appointment with her the following morning. I am happy to announce that my pain is gone after just one visit, pretty amazing! I truly am in awe, thank you so much for your work and dedication to the community.

Words cannot describe the level of relief, comfort, relaxation and satisfaction I get every time I come here. If I could afford to do it monthly I would. Do yourself a favor and give Dr. Skefich a try. Nothing short of amazing.

Sylvia truly is a miracle worker. I had a 50 minute session with her today and, yet again, she has completely healed the pain in my pelvis that I have been living with for the past several months. She has provided relief and healing to many in my family and group of friends on more than just a physical level. I couldnt be more grateful for her presence in our community. She treats it all. I would recommend her to anyone for any and all ailments, certainly not just musculoskeletal.

I have been seeing Dr. Skefich and her team for a few years now. They are amazing. My daughter (now9) was having back pain due to her scoliosis, we tried acupuncture, massage, and traditional chiropractic, nothing helped, the chiropractor caused MORE pain. Since we have been receiving care from Dr. Skefich she has gotten so much relief. She loves going in.

I went to the office and received treatment from Christine and Evelyn as well as Dr. Skefich after my car accident for back pain. I'm now relieved of. I saw Dr. Skefich for pain during my pregnancy, I could barely sit or stand for too long at about 6-7 months along, I was in agony. After treatment from Dr. Skefich I had complete relief by the next day when she said I would. The care I receive is so gentle and thorough. It's the best!

Sylvia is great! She is very intuitive and has a wonderful way of explaining what she is doing to the body. She has been assisting me with TMJ pain and I always look forward to every visit. Also the 5$ neck roll she has at the front desk works AMAZING. There are also supplements available but I have yet to venture into these.

5 stars aren't nearly enough for a practitioner of Sylvia's caliber. Her professional attention-to-detail and skill set is unparalleled and the deep care with which it is delivered leaves me nurtured on all levels. I have been a patient for about 5 years and no matter what is happening with my physical body, Slyvia's vast knowledge of the physical, emotional, psychological and energetic realms addresses me precisely where attention is needed most. Sylvia is way more than a mere chiropractor. She is a gifted healer. What supports Sylvia's healing is a warm, welcoming environment and staff. HIGHLY recommended practitioner.

If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. Have been seeing Dr. Skefich for probably almost 10 years. Appointments ALWAYS start and end on time. She takes plenty of time to assess and attend to your needs for each session. Never feel rushed (like I did at some other chiro who scheduled appointments in 5- or 10-minute sessions and was not surprisingly, always running late).

She is amazingly intuitive. Treatments are gentle but effective. I pay out of pocket because the care is so much better than what I got when I tried providers through my insurance plan. She's worth every penny.

She is an amazingly detail-oriented perfectionist, & super sweet, competent & compassionate. She finds causes that are otherwise hidden, She looks at the WHOLE picture. You can even use her Beemer once you are a patient! :-) Her staff is top notch. I can't say enough good things. so I will stop & not bore you. You deserve it-- try her out :-)

I have seen Sylvia for a number of injuries and she is able to help heal even the most stubborn injuries. I am a contractor and am very hard on my body, usually injuring my back and wrist. I am able to leave her office feeling good as new. She has a much more delicate style of working as compared to other chiropractors, but is much more effective. I will definitely be returning to her office.

Highly recommend Dr. Skefich. She has helped my neck and back considerably and has a wealth of knowledge on figuring out what the underlying causes of my back issues have been. Her goal is to get you well.

If you are used to standard western chiropractors with their abrasive adjustments then Dr. Sylvia is a world apart from that. I was surprised how gentle her process is but very effective in the healing process. I was told things I have never heard before from those "other guys." Overall, I am amazed and impressed by the staff and service.

I can't say enough good things about Sylvia and her staff. A problem that orthopedics could not pinpoint made walking difficult and driving impossible. Her non force treatments have been absolutely effective. I can walk, drive and I am grateful.
