Melanie was a nice person. Unfortunately in NET / AK, the practitioner tends to say "your fear"…read more"your insecurity" and that is a horrible system. What that did was assign a negative label to that patient. What's worse to address the patient's name with the negative word, i.e.: Robert's fear, Robert's insecurity. For a patient who suffers from self identity, very poor self - esteem and suffered from bullying and abuse since childhood, these wordings are damaging.

I started working with Melani about a year ago when I began experiencing inexplicable daily…read moreheadaches which had eventually progressed where I was feeling extreme pain throughout my body, I was confined to a cane, and I was experiencing tremors. After about two to three sessions the tremors stopped, after a few more I was able to get back on my hands and feet a lot easier, and now I am completely walking without a cane and can carry relatively heavy items again and can LIVE. Being a college student studying music, if it wasn't for Melani I would've been devastated and would've continued to have difficulties in my education and work. I am so grateful for her kindness and her suggestions on how to keep maintaining myself even outside of sessions, and I would most definitely recommend seeing her!

Natural Path Wellness is located in downtown Ripon and has been around for quite some time. The…read morelobby area is jammed packed with different wellness products that are sure to appeal to everyone. The business offers massage, facials, waxing and detox services. I highly recommend visiting their website for details and pricing. If you are looking to book these services on a monthly basis they offer a monthly membership. The memberships will save you quite a bit of money over time. Memberships require a 1-year commitment and will roll over for three months after the membership expires. The perks of the membership: 10% off services and products. Priority booking for appointments and classes. I have found the ladies who work up front to be very pleasant and helpful. There are several different massage therapists to choose from. The ones I have used have been very professional and friendly. The biggest negative I have found can be scheduling. After booking certain dates/times, I have received call backs having to reschedule due to overbooking. This happened a handful of times which became a little frustrating. Overall, this is a great place to care for your wellness needs.

I've lived in Ripon for over a year now, and although this place looks a little "sketchy" and has…read moreNO other reviews, I've seen people going in and out so I decided to give it try. Initially the masseuse just told me to strip down and lie face down. I couldn't really understand her with such a thick accent, but she finally was able to get me to understand. There was no sheet to cover myself with, and she seemed irritated when I asked for a towel. My massage was more painful than anything and even though I kept telling the masseuse to stop a few times during my one hour massage, she just kept hurting me. She kept sliding her arms all over my back; her bones against my spine (ouch!). She didn't seem to know how knots feel cause she would find them but massage right past them... She also didn't know how to use pressure to relieve the knots in my back and neck. Worst of all, she used Bengay!! It burned at times, especially on sensitive skin!! Bad massage... Won't go back.

The older woman HURTS. I am literally bruised and sore. I asked several times for her to go softer…read more She digs her elbows into you the whole time, more so than using her hands. She uses bengay and does not keep you covered with a sheet or towel so your bare ass is totally exposed ALOT. At one point she actually opened the door to go talk to someone who just walked in without covering me back up with a sheet or towel..kinda uncomfortable to say the least. She will also answer the phone multiple times during the session. It was not relaxing at all it hurt the majority of the time and she seemed rushed. I have had the younger woman before and she was much more professional and did not dig her elbows into me and knew the right pressure to use. Again, I am literally sore and bruised from the older woman.

She payed attention to the areas I indicated were causing me trouble, and used the perfect amount of pressure mixed with some assisted stretching, and it was amazing! I will definitely be coming back!

It was $60 for a 60 minute full body massage, and I tipped $15 for the wonderful job Sasa did. The ladies there are very friendly and they are all great massage therapists. I prefer a light/medium pressure, and it started off too firm for my liking. Once I told Sasa to go a little lighter, she kindly said "thank you for letting me know" and proceeded to massage with the perfect pressure for the remainder of the session. That was important to me because I've experienced many times where the MT will lighten up their pressure for next few minutes but then amp up the pressure again later. This was easily my favorite massage experience! Thank you, Sasa Oh -- and I love that they make it VERY clear that they do NOT do happy endings. You never know, lol. *Note that they take card (NOT Tap-To-Pay), but there's a $2 charge for it. Cash is preferred.
