Balanced Synergistic Massage — Local services in Salt Lake City

Jenny Baird is a powerhouse of knowledge, ideas, and massage techniques! Her enthusiasm and passion for bodywork is a big reason why I see her, and the fact that I always leave feeling like my entire body was seen and worked, even my “tough” spots. I like that she utilizes many different techniques throughout our sessions (including massage tools and hot stones!) to find the one(s) that works best and feels best for my body. In our last session, she stretched and unwound the muscles around my tailbone using a rocking technique, which were tight and sore from a previous injury. I noticeably felt relief in this area, and I was appreciative of how much time we spent really getting to the root of the pain. I was also appreciative of how much time we spent on my arms. Like Jenny, I also use my arms for my profession so I felt like she listened and catered to my needs.

Jenny’s approach is thorough yet relaxing, and she knows what kind of energy to embody in any moment depending on what you need. I’ve always been impressed by her communication, and I love that she welcomes feedback which makes me feel like we’re working together and that she’s got my healing and wellness in mind. And, that she is fully present in our sessions! This is a big deal to me - I’ve experienced many therapists who give what I call, a “spa” massage where I can tell I’m getting the same massage that was given to every client, and his or her mind is elsewhere. All that said, Jenny Baird is an incredible massage therapist, truly among the best!

Oh, and I also want to point out that Jenny’s home studio is beautiful, so serene, and welcoming from the moment you walk in. You may even be greeted by a very sweet, social cat named Anisha (she keeps to herself during...

Exceptional bodywork!!! Like, completely outstanding!!! I've had close to 1,000 massages in my life, from at least 75 therapists, and Jenny Baird delivers some of the most effective work I've ever experienced! My body has very specific needs (I have chronic pains nearly every day from a labor intensive job), and I admit that I am a very hard to please client. Not only did Jenny listen to everything I communicated, and she responded accordingly, but she even noticed my subtle communications, from my body and my breath. She is very in tune, focused, and present. I could tell that every moment of the session mattered to her. I DEEPLY appreciate any therapist who can adjust to my needs, and she did so in such a surprisingly perfect way, that I experienced WAAAAY more physical and mental relief than I normally do from a massage or body work session (I even release emotionally when I'm on her table, as she is so loving and safe and accepting of the human experience). In addition, she cares about the many little facets in her sessions that make the experience even more wonderful, like creating a beautiful environment to walk into, playing deeply meditative music, and her table is always so warm and cozy when I climb in! Some of my favorite work that Jenny offers is her sarga massage work. She uses her feet to stretch out the body's fascia lines in such a powerful and effective way! I am blown away at how good it feels to have her feet on me!! She is masterful with this technique! Now that I've experienced it, I actually plan to request this during every session with her from now on! It's so deeply satisfying!! Seriously,...

Jenny did a great job! I am a huge believer in massage being the number one way to reduce my migraines and so I go regularly and have for many years. I’ve gotten massages from a whole variety of places and a variety of styles. I don’t live in Utah full time so haven’t been straying from me masseuse at home, but migraines came a calling! I thought Jenny did awesome and I’m so glad I gave her a try! She is definitely in the top masseuses category in my mind. Which for me is when someone clearly has a passion for it and truly understands how a body works and what to do to make it function better. I love that she knew how to move my arms and legs into positions where she could stretch and massage them. She also used her feet to stretch my legs which was awesome! She had great communication up front and asked what I was comfortable with and not. I’d definitely recommend her to newbies and seasoned massage goers!

I almost don’t want to leave her a review because I don’t want her time to be taken up so I can’t get into her schedule anymore haha! That to me is a sign that...
