Gene Golden not only teaches T'ai Chi, but he also teaches the underlying and surrounding…read morephilosophies at work in the mind and body when we practice T'ai Chi - he is truly a master, fluent in the form, and can tailor lessons to your learning needs - as well as expertly convey the energetic balance, and flow of chi through the body movements - in words, repetitious example, and patient critique. My partner and I have learned so much from Gene in so little time, and we are so grateful that he chose to live in Bellingham, and to know him as teacher and friend - I only wish we had discovered him and the practice of T'ai Chi even sooner.

I found Gene Golden while looking for a T'ai Chi class to help me regain strength and range of…read moremotion after rotator cuff surgery. I found more than a teacher. I found a patient, caring, compassionate person who is dedicated to helping people improve their lives through the art of T'ai Chi Ch'uan. I found a life coach who is helping me learn to live in my body after years of bad teaching and bad habits. I found a person who encourages me to be my best self and doesn't judge when I'm confused. I found someone who is genuinely concerned with my ability to function as a human being. I am very fortunate to have found Gene Golden. I will never see the world the same way again.

It has been my good fortune to have been studying with Gord for over four years now. He is a…read morepatient and gifted teacher. The health benefits were immediate--I am stronger and far more flexible--and after the disappointment of having attended the classes of others who taught this art as little more than sophisticated hand waving, it is a pleasure to be learning from someone who possesses real martial abilities. Gord is willing to share all that he knows, and I would recommend studying with him to anyone. Sincerely, Craig Murphy

I am relatively new to getting massages but I have gotten a handful of massages at a variety of…read moreplaces, including at a massage school, professional spas in Oahu, Lanai and Las Vegas and with Melissa at Healing Elements Haleiwa. My experience with Melissa has been the best of all of them. It is very easy to communicate with her what you need and want and want and she does a great job. Haleiwa is a little far for some people (myself included) but I try to make a North Shore trip out of the day and it is always worth it. The cost of the massage is very reasonable, plus as a teacher I get a discount. You don't get the frills of a fancy spa here (but I'm not sure that's worth the extra $100 anyway) but you do get an awesome massage!

I have had many massages in my life...even at resorts like the Aulani and I would have to say that…read morethis massage was one of the best I have ever had Melissa has a great aura and instantly makes you feel calm and comfortable. She uses amazing aromatherapy oils specifically for your issues. She used some techniques that I had never felt before and really worked out a lot of my knots! It is very small but zen! She is also very knowledgeable about pressure points. Unfortunately I just moved back to California or I would go to her every month! Oh yeah and her sister is a teacher so she gives discounts to teachers!!!!!

She even texted me afterwards requesting I change my review, saying business is hard. I made sure to keep the screen shots. I wasn't going to make note of this until I saw that she responded to my original review - flat out calling me a liar when in fact her staff did demand a 25% tip on top of a $220 massage that was advertised as $200. Great business practice, Qing.

Each room is private and I stripped down. I was offered a pillow for the face down on the pretty hard table. My glutes were massaged as well. The masseuse kept checking in now and then, even with very limited English. A bottle of water was offered in the end to stay hydrated. I will definitely return. $120 for 90 min plus tip!
