I took classes here in Acupressure and I just want to say that I struck a gold mine when I found the Washington Institute of Natural Medicine. The classes were taught by Linda Khanzetian, a Doctor of Natural Health. Dr. Linda is an excellent teacher. I could not have asked for a better teacher than someone with her background and level of experience. She's thorough, patient, and answered most of my questions before I could even ask them. The wisdom that she shared I could not have discovered in a book on the subject or picked up from instructional videos. More than anything, her passion for the natural healing arts came through loud and clear. To say the least, it inspired me and further motivated my desire to practice Acupressure. At the conclusion of the classes, I understood a lot and felt like I received what I needed to pursue this area of the healing arts. I should also mention that I found the spa setting there to be very conducive to learning.

My experience has been both with Reiki and group classes. One particular thing that initially stood out to me was her respect towards various avenues of individual belief, religion, and spirituality.

Sherri is truly one of the most professional, compassionate, and knowledgeable people I know in her field. I can guarantee that you will grow from your work with her. Absolutely one of the best decisions I've made in working towards my goals in overall health and well-being this year.

I really loved the salt cave, itself. Beautiful inside, super relaxing and cozy. I felt like I was…read morebreathing better by the end of it; I had been experiencing seasonal allergies and was stuffy. So the experience: awesome. And I'll be back. However: The place, in general, needs a sprucing up. The lobby/shop and bathroom all could use a good clean and maybe a paint job, and there was a dead cockroach in the bathroom, which kind of killed the vibe post-salt cave experience. We live in a city though and these things happen -- but a more dedicated focus to overall details of the space would make the experience even better.

How had I never been here before?! Wow what a great little downtown Bethesda gem. My partner and I…read morecame for a salt cave halotherapy session and it was a very neat first time experience. It seemed there were a few snafu's that morning starting with folks that showed up for their treatments to a closed shop, and then we were told to be there 15 min before our session or it could be given away to someone on standby... so we RACED over and literally ran from the parking garage, but our session didn't start until 10:15 so we just sat around for 30 min waiting. There were lovely little tea and water glasses that said help yourself but there was no tea or water. I totally get that things happen- and we certainly were attended to- not a big deal. Everyone was very nice so what are you gonna do! We just wore yoga pants/active wear and clean socks as you can't go into the cave with shoes OR bare feet- so be sure to bring your socks! We were lucky enough to have the cave to ourselves by chance- but I may bring earplugs or an eye mask to truly zone out if we were sharing the cave next time. I wish the room was a bit more sound proof- you can really hear everything right in the lobby. It's a little distracting for a meditative session but I also understand that it's close quarters. There is ambient music playing that drowns some of it out! Otherwise the cave is really cool and you can tell it was a labor of love to build. I loved walking around on the "salt sand"! All in all I really enjoyed our experience. The owner was very nice and brings two large golden retrievers to the shop. I am a dog lover and they are VERY chill dogs- but just be aware if you're not a fan or have an allergy. We look forward to our next visit!

Her name is Ligia (pronounced Leah) and she proceeded to provide maximum relaxation via a deep tissue/Swedish combo massage. Listen, I actually went to sleep and had to be awakened!

It felt like I was floating hence I went to sleep! Towards the end, face up was time spent on my scalp, face and Decollete...who knew I needed that soooo bad! It was heavenly!! Turns out she's a trained esthetician which made sense that she was so smooth with the facial massage. I am so relaxed and legit had to sit for 15 minutes to gather energy to drive home.
