I had been on a long journey of research, detoxification strategies, and product trial and error to try and fix my epidermal reaction to Wilmington's humid and chemically unbalance environment. I'm pretty well versed in the world of holistic nutrition, hormonal balance, and natural remedies both tangibly and ingestible. I decided to explore Wilmington's knowledge on the subject and see if West Meadow Spa could help me find a solution I had yet to experience. After a very pleasant phone call with the front desk representative, who really made the spa and esthetician seem like a trip to cloud 9, I booked my facial a week in advance and built up my expectations for the visit! She asked me to come a few minutes early to sign some paperwork but my facial was at opening time so when I arrived I waited about 10 minutes for someone to come open the door. I thought it was a little strange for them to ask to come early, for them to be inside the building and see me outside and not open the doors until the clock struck opening time. Oh well! The inside was beautiful with tons of natural products for sale, water and tea options and a cute little lounge area to relax in while waiting. I quickly signed the papers and waited about 5 minutes for the esthetician to bring me in the room. I had received such amazing recommendations about this gal before visiting but upon meeting and consulting with her my high expectations were not met. Everyone has their bad days and it could have been that kind of situation, but in my experience I felt her to be very judgmental and not as well educated as she had been led on to be. She would ask me general prep questions then not have any response to my answers, just going on to the next question. I told her all the things I've tried, things I've researched, conditions I've had in the past etc and at the end of the day she had not one suggestion for me other than to buy the tea they had in shop from a local vendor (which she applied to my face at the beginning of the facial which smelled awesome). Throughout the facial she would give me ask me questions, quietly ponder a response to me answer then in an odd tone say she just didn't know the best way to go about that. It was really strange to me! Any who, the facial was refreshing, as they always are, but did absolutely nothing for my skin that day or in the future. She didn't suggest any helpful products or methods of cleaning, exfoliating, nourishing, etc. Though she did suggest I come back for a belly heating service which is basically a heating pad on your gut, ovaries, etc. that helps balance and calm everything going on down there, especially inflammation. This is a pretty cool service, especially for those who actually have serious ovarian and gut concerns, and I don't know anyone else in town that does this unique practice. However it was not really relevant to me and way out of my price range. At the end of the day I spent almost $50 for a semi cleansing/calming facial and learned something new about heat therapy. I really don't want to hurt their business, and the front desk gal was the sweetest thing on this planet (review would have been 2 stars without her involvement), but I really can't see myself recommending West Meadow's facial services to anyone based off this experience.

Their tenet is "A Gathering Place for Spirit, Mind and Body", and that certainly rings true. There is an immediate sense of love and calm when you walk in. I popped into the center a few years ago and owner Susan greeted me and gave me some information. There was no hard sell to try the treatments or the many products on the shelves. She took me for a tour and described the services they offer. I booked a consultation with Susan, and she advised me to bring in the vitamins I was taking for review. She really took the time to answer all my questions, It was very thorough consultation. She muscle-tested me for each vitamin, and we learned there were a couple in the bunch that my body was not calling for. The consultation came with a complimentary treatment and I chose the LED Light Therapy. I had been having issues with the left side of my body from my shoulder to my wrist and after 6 months wasn't getting any better. I actually felt a marked difference after just one treatment I decided to go for the package of 10. By the time I got to the end of my 10, the difference was dramatic!. During that time, I also injured my knee to the point I couldn't put any pressure on it. My friend took me in (had to use crutches) and after the treatment I could limp out without the crutches! Since they have 3 pads and can treat 3 body parts in each session, for the remaining sessions they placed one on my knee and 2 on my left arm, and all continued to improve. The treatment was working so well I ordered another round of 10. The reason I am finally taking the time to write this today is, I had a fall and twisted that same knee. I hadn't been in in a while because of, well life, and also because my body was no longer screaming at me! Again after that one treatment I felt so much relief on my knee. I'm sitting here feeling so blessed I knew I had to finally stop and write this review. I have not yet tried the other treatments offered there because the LED Light therapy has been working so well for me. But at some point I would like to. Bottom line, I'm not a person to run to a Dr. unless absolutely necessary. I much prefer a more holistic approach, and am so happy and blessed to have found it close by in Natural Health Center. Susan and her staff are very knowledgable, loving and caring. I look forward to going in and miss it when I don't! I also get my free-range eggs there!
