Rene Geerdes

“Rene brings the very best skill set for those suffering from chronic pain, immobility or anyone in need of relaxation/stress-relief. She is a board-certified massage therapist and never stops learning in order to help her clients with a range of issues related to structure, fascia or any issue creating pain or dysfunction in the musculoskeletal system. She is highly skilled, kind and compassionate and 5-star therapist in a competitive field . I highly recommend her to anyone looking to up-level their physical health and mobility.”

Dr. Jill Carnahan MD, ABIHM, ABoIM, IFMCP / Louisville, CO

“Rene puts more thought into her work than any massage therapist I have ever known. She is devoted to studying and learning, and as a result has amassed skill in several techniques and strategies to meet different needs. Restorative and incredibly relaxing every time. Rene always shares helpful insights too on my musculoskeletal quirks and pain, and what exercises and movement I can add to feel better. Make time if you can for pairing massage with her infrared sauna, for total detox and healing benefit – well worth it!”

Judy Converse MPH, RD, LDN Boulder, Colorado

“Rene gives the best massage I have ever had. That’s saying a lot given that I’ve lived in Boulder for almost twenty years, where we have access to a plethora of master bodyworkers. Just sayin’, I’ve had a LOT of great massages over the years , in Boulder and beyond. Rene’s massages are technical, therapeutic , deeply relaxing, and restorative. I could go on and on, so I’ll close with saying that I cannot recommend her enough!”

Kristen Wheeler

“Rene is the BEST massage therapist I have ever experienced ( and I’ve had 100+ massages in the past 30 years). Each massage is highly personalized to what my body needs, not the same routine over and over. Rene is highly educated on physiology, as well as many techniques to relax and heal my body. She is always punctual, professional, and friendly. The infrared sauna and CBD infused oils make the massage experience utterly dreamy. I adore Rene and am a client for life!”

Stephanie C. Erie, Colorado

“The quintessential therapist! Rene has been my go to therapist for over two years and she is the BEST. Rene’s knowledge of human muscle structure and function allows her to create an environment that promotes healing and proper function. Her calming and compassionate nature allows you to relax and take full advantage of the treatment. She also introduced me to full spectrum infrared sauna treatments which proved to be much more effective than conventional (dry and wet) saunas as a pre-therapy treatment. If you have never had massage therapy before, give Rene a try. You will be glad you did! If you get treatments regularly, contact Rene and experience a new level of therapeutic benefits that you’ve been missing.”

“I have had the pleasure of experiencing Rene’s ultimately relaxing massages many times. I traveled 2 hours away in order to have the pleasure of Rene’s touch. She is such a soothing soul who makes me feel so at home, comfortable, relaxed and always made my body feel rejuvenated. I miss Rene in California, she’s not replaceable!”

Elyse V. San Francisco

“I had the pleasure of being Rene’s client for approx. 3 months before she moved to Colorado. I suffered from a coccyx fracture during the delivery of my second child and have suffered lower back pain ever since. I had often bounced around to different massage therapists in the area and I could sum them all up with an overall “meh”. It wasn’t until I met Rene and experienced her technique that I was AMAZED. She is truly gifted and talented in the art & science of massage. I was so impressed that I recommended my husband. When he returned from his first massage with her, his words were “that was the best massage I’ve ever had!” Rene understands the human body and seems to have a sixth sense when it comes to focusing on the areas that need the most work. She is professional, gentle and yet firm in her touch. She has a calmness in her personality and instantly makes you feel relaxed and comfortable. I can’t recommend her enough!”

Summer B, Grass Valley CA

“I have been seeing Renee once a week for 2 years after multiple abdominal surgeries and chronic, intense surgical, joint and muscle pain that affected my mobility and quality of life. Today, I enjoy most days with minimal pain and full range of motion in my arms and legs also without significant pain. Renee isn’t your run of the mill massage therapist. She is the equivalent of a highly trained medical professional who helped me get my life back.“

Joe S. Longmont, CO

“Renee is the most amazing massage therapist that you’ll work with. She actually listens, is excellent at assessing your body and always has great tips for stretches and exercises to sustain your wellbeing.“

Mehdi P. , Erie CO

“Rene is great to work with and the sauna before the massage adds extra relief.”

Amber G. Arvada, CO

“Best massage ever! Rene is so professional and makes you feel so comfortable. You can tell she is passionate about her work and truly cares about giving you the best experience possible. You will leave feeling completely rejuvenated. I now realize how important it is to incorporate massage therapy into my wellness program. I would give ten stars if I could!“

Kristen S. Boulder CO

“Highly recommend Rene, she’s truly one of the best massage therapists I’ve ever met.“

Marzieh S. Erie CO

“I have had many massages in my life but I have never had such a marvelous massage as the one I received from Rene Geerdes with Sanctuary Massage and Sauna! She knew just where my problematic issues were in my body and knew just what technique to use to alleviate my pain. I had a 90 minute massage and part of that time entailed a facial and head massage, WOW! It was great. Renee is highly knowledgeable and often times in her free time she is learning from gurus in her field on line. She always wants to be on top of her game. Her massage room is very soothing and inviting. She’s the best!!“

Jeanne G. Colorado

Great massage therapist, highly recommend!

Andrea T. Littleton, CO

Since the day after Thanksgiving I have been agonizing with a extremely stiff neck. Sometimes when turning or bending it was like being hit with a jolt of high voltage…the pain was indescribable. Well, last night I had had enough and contacted Rene Geerdes who has her own Sanctuary Infrared Sauna Therapy and Massage business, and who had been highly recommended. What you to know is she is truly and expert in her field!! I have had any number of massages over the years, but today was the ultimate experience. The range of motion when turning my neck went from a couple of inches in each direction being able to look over my shoulders again. It’s still a little tender but for as bad as it was that’s to be expected. Anyway, I highly recommend Rene whether you are hurting or just want to be totally relaxed at the end of a session. Her charges are reasonable as well! THANKS RENE!!”
