First time I've tried acupuncture, and I have to admit it, I'm sold. I had always put it off…read morebecause I didn't want the cost associated with having to pay for multiple visits, but this "community" setting has won me over. The first visit you get a tour along with learning the rules and regulations. After that, you're on your own. You walk in (either with or without an appointment), pay at the pay station - and you set the amount you want to pay - then take a seat in one of the recliners. Okay, this part is a bit odd; you are in a massive dimly lit room with calming new age music playing. After you take a seat, the acupuncturist on duty that day comes over, quizzes you about your issues, then proceeds to place needed in your arms, hands, legs, feet, ears, and/or head. It does not hurt - there is mostly just a pressure, if you feel anything at all. This community environment, instead of having individual cubicles or offices, is what enables them to keep the prices so low. So, while you may hear snoring, coughing, whispering, etc. you are paying a lot less then you would at many offices.

Why 3 stars? Because I suppose acupuncture just isn't for me…read more --- --- --- First of all, I will say this - if acupuncture IS your thing, I fully support the mission of this center. They have a "pay what you can" policy that places all each session between $15-$40 and it's totally up to the client what amount they would like to pay within that range. Plus, my interactions with the woman at the front desk and the therapist were very pleasant. If I were ever to have acupuncture done again, I would come right back here. My rating is more about the service itself, and might be more of an indictment on acupuncture as a whole, rather than the business. I've had lower back and hip pain for years. I've tried everything under the sun to mitigate this pain, but nothing has worked. I recently asked my physical therapist if he thought acupuncture would be helpful and he suggested that it was worth a shot. I saw the phenomenal reviews for this studio, so it was pretty obvious where I'd be going for my first experience. Booking my appointment online was super easy, and I was able to get something that was only about an hour or so later from when I actually made the appointment. When I arrived, I was given new patient paperwork and was kicking myself when I read that headphones could be used, because I didn't even think to bring mine. However, before I was sent back for treatment, I was asked to please turn my phone completely off before leaving the lobby, so I'm not sure how one would listen to headphones when their phone isn't allowed to be one. Either way, this was not a huge issue. I received a brief tour of the facility and then was shown to my chair. I was asked to remove my shoes, socks, watch and everything in my pockets. The recliner I was asked to sit in was incredibly comfortable - that was probably my favorite part of the entire experience. When the acupuncturist came by, he asked me where my ailments were. He then gave me a quick overview of what to expect and then began poking me with the needles. He mentioned that he would be poking me all over my body, but I didn't expect zero attention to be given to my actual problem areas. He poked my hands, my arm, my head and my ankles. A few of the needles hurt going in and a few others would hurt pretty badly if I even moved a small amount. Sitting still for about 45 minutes was virtually impossible, so I had quite a few instances of accidentally moving the needles into some pretty painful positions, on accident. Eventually the acupuncturist came by to remove the needles. He asked me if I felt better. It made me laugh because it just didn't seem possible that my chronic pain of 2 years could actually dissolve after tiny needles were inserted into random parts of my body. I felt comfortable and relaxed due to the delightful chair and peaceful music that was being played, but of course it was a zero in terms of helping my pain. Does acupuncture actually work for certain problems and certain people. I'm sure. But for me and this issue, it's just not for me.

The staff was very courteous and helpful and tried multiple treatments over a period of eight delightful weeks.

Have you ever watched a Facebook Reels where you can SEE the knots getting released. THAT is what I experienced! I had Ramina and she was exactly what I needed in a therapist. My husband had Anna and she was very attentive to my husband as he has a few back injuries to contend with. Let's just say we now have a new place to go for massages! When I tell you this, no exaggeration. BEST. MASSAGE. EVER. I need to do my research because it looks like they offer a type of massage where they will walk on your back as the tables have the parallel bars on the ceiling. I don't know what that is, but I'm doing that next time!

I get massages every 2 weeks, and I usually book a massage when I travel, so I've tried many types of massages in various locations across the states and even Japan. I booked my 90 minute deep tissue massage appointment over the phone; very easy process. They sent me some forms to fill out online in advance and confirmed my appointment. Very professional. My masseuse was Ryan, a young gentleman. He arrived about 15 minutes before my appointment; we actually arrived at the door at the same time. As it was a Saturday, the building where the spa is located was locked, so the front desk admin came to open the door for us when I called. We started our massage session a bit early, which was fine by me. I asked him to focus on my shoulders, which he went right to work on - with VERY intense pressure. Yes, I asked for deep pressure, but it was a bit overkill. He was mainly using his elbows to get under my shoulderblades - this is not very common in massages I've had, so I was a little confused. I asked him to decrease the pressure, which he did, but when he moved to the other side, he returned to the original deep pressure. He also used way too much massage oil, to the point where I felt it dripping across my back. I also noticed that his hands were shaking throughout my massage - it could be a medical condition, so I didn't say anything about it. About 10 minutes into my session, I had to ask for my appointment to be shortened to a 60 minute massage. He barely did any leg massage - could be because I had shortened my session, but he massaged my glutes and then my feet. Which all felt wonderful, but not much massaging of the calves and hamstrings. When he massaged my arms, he just kept going in a circular motion, which felt more like a gentle squeeze than a massage... Overall, I felt that the massage was very unexperienced, something I would expect of someone learning to be a masseuse or massage therapist. If you book a massage here, then perhaps be very specific with your expectations.
