I came here for a skin tag removal procedure and I am very pleased with the results…read more Dr. Kim performed my procedure. She took the time to answer all of my questions and made sure I was as comfortable as possible during the process. The procedure itself took about 15 minutes, not counting the additional time needed to let the numbing cream kick in. As she started the procedure, we realized that more numbing cream was needed, so that was another 10 to 15 minutes tacked on to the time. Unfortunately, the procedure was not as painless as was initially described, but it's not prohibitively uncomfortable. Dr. Kim checked in with me throughout the process and if I needed a break, she would take a pause and give me one. After the procedure, Dr. Kim gave me some wound care instructions as well as some ointment to put on the site as it healed. I'm happy to report that there was no pain or discomfort after the procedure. Procedure side, I love the energy of this place. There's all kinds of holistic, homeopathic, and ayurvedic materials in here including incense, tea, crystals, candles, sage bundles, palo santo, and all sorts of sprays and tonics to help purify your home or your environment. There are even gift sets for all the holistic homegirls in your life. They also sell accessories including ankle bracelets and custom waist beads imported from Ghana. Every single one of the staff members I've met has been absolutely wonderful. Warm, and friendly, and welcoming. I can't wait to come back and try some of the other services offered by this wellness spa-- I've especially got my eye on a good, long massage and guided stretch session.

During this deeply relaxing session, the practitioner focuses Reiki energy to balance the 7 major energy centers (chakras) in the body. Expect to feel a release of negative energy and limiting thoughts. Expect to gain a sense of clarity and peace. This session will also aid in stress reduction and promote an overall sense of well-being. This session is heightened by the use of sound and scents, as the practitioner employs singing bowls, tuning forks, and essential oils to bring you back to a place of emotional balance. The session lasts 30-45 minutes depending on the state of your chakras. * I walked in with no fear and ready to get started, because I trust Courtenay's judgement. I just wanted to explore a new method of #selfcare.‍ As always, I left this session with lots of 'wow' exclamations.‼ (If only these sessions could be recorded/photographed. Then again, everything isn't meant for public display and stuff like this should be kept sacred.) Since beginning my #yoga /#meditation practice, a lot has changed (and will continue to do so) between my CROWN and my ROOT chakras. There's hope. Don't let #covid get you down.

This is terrible customer service in my opinion. As someone who made a first attempt at starting something new, this wasn't a good first impression on the energy being put off to me as a patron. Especially when you're attending something that's supposed to be relaxing and inviting. What if someone needed to build up the courage to come in a new environment in which they we nervous or self conscious about. When I arrived at the door the instructor simply just shook her head at me and didn't even think to offer me a refund or another session slot, she was just going to keep my money. Mind you this class cost $20. This doesn't seem very inviting and I would recommend another studio.

I met Lindsey when I was pregnant with my oldest daughter in 2013. She was my Hypnobirthing Teacher…read morebut I learned so much from her. As a first time mom, I had no idea! Her Hypnobirthing training includes instruction on pregnancy, labor, delivery, and postpartum care. It is clear that Lindsey is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about her work. She provides research to back up her assertions and she shares her own birth stories, which are inspiring. In 2015, I contacted Lindsey again as I prepared for my 2nd daughter. I was so happy with Lindsey's advice and the way my birth story unfolded. I also contacted Lindsey for the birth of my 3rd baby, my son. Once again, Lindsey gave me sound advice and I followed it to the T! I was blessed to have a successful water birth at home. I KNOW it would not have been possible without Lindsey. I highly recommend her! Thank you so much Lindsey!!!!

My husband and I took a HypnoBirthing class and refresher. I also got a Reiki treatment and placenta encapsulation. Whatever service you decide to use, you will not be disappointed. Lindsey's professionalism and compassion are what you need. I was blown away by our virtual hypnotherapy. The amazing tools she gives to her client stay with you when you need them most. I would recommend her to anyone preparing for birth or going through anything where they need a little support. Stop scrolling through reviews of doulas and just contact Lindsey. She works with amazing people who will form an entire team to support you.

I had heard great reviews about Inspired Thru Nature from a friend and they gave it a perfect score…read moreso I was determined to see for myself. When I first call to get information about the business, I was on travel for work but that did not stop Pamela from telling me everything that I needed to know to make my visit a great experience. She scheduled my visit, told me when she would call me to confirm, and talked about my diet to ensure I was ready to go. When I arrived, I was greeted by Pamela and she toured the space with me. As she concluded I asked more questions about the heated sauna treatment to dissolve my curiosity! I mean that alone made me understand just how dedicated to this work she is! She gifted me an over $70 treatment as a new customer. I was elated. During the sauna treatment, she came to check in on me and supported me with just anything I needed. She let me know that she was preparing my colonic treatment and once I was done, she would walk to the space and get me settled with my next treatment. Once my first treatment was over, Pamela gave me towels and water to make me feel comfortable. ( She even offered me a robe and footies) When we got to the colonic room, she introduced me to the equipment in the room, told me how to work each component and explicitly told me how she would help me through it all. She made me feel so comfortable and kept checking on me. She consistently asked for my comfort level and if there was anything that she could do. When my session was over, Pamela came and told me how to end my session. She walked me through how to clean up and told me do not worry about the machine, she would clean it all up. I was so ashamed but she insisted by saying that "this is what I love to do! I do not mind at all" Her spirit and affect was so naturing and loving I could not think of anyone not walking away from this experience full of happiness and less of weight! Pamela and her assistant are so loving and so customer service driven, kind, attentive and so overly accommodating. I have been back to for services every two weeks and I am dedicated to supporting any business that thrives on always putting customers first! I would HIGHLY recommend ITN to anyone and if your visit is not just as rewarding, I would even pay for the visit myself. That is how certain I am on the excellence that this business thrives from! I am beyond happy to call myself a customer. I will continue to support business and will voice my support again and again. ITN, Pamela, her assistant, and each and every visit I have had has been great! Thank you, Pamela, for having so much dedication, knowledge, and excellence to your professionalism and business. I appreciate you for everything. (I am serious about it! If you do not like your experience-- Let me know!) You will not be disappointed with it at all. If you chose to visit, you will see that my review aligns with their practice!

I'm trying to live a healthier lifestyle and the first step I'm hearing from the fitness community…read moreinvolved detoxing the system. While looking for a colonic black owned business, I stumbled upon Inspired Thru Nature. As I began browsing their website, I noticed one service I always wanted to try, the ionic foot detox (scheduled a colonic for another time). An ionic foot detox is said to work by pulling the toxins out of your body through your feet. I texted the number on the website and sent an email requesting an appointment for two and luckily, the business had a dual machine and was able to do a couple's detox. Response was quick and a few hours after my initial contact. The owner is very accommodating and helps to work around your schedule. As you walk in, you're asked to complete paper work, a quick two/three page doc. We were then escorted to the back room, sat on a comfy sofa and advised of the purpose of each device we were being connected to.... a wrist wrap, foot basin w/ sea salt, and warm waist wrap (for comfort). She started the machine and checked on us a few times throughout the process allowing us to relax and enjoy the soft music and aromatherapy smells in the air. During and after the treatment she explained what toxins was being release based on a color chart. Once done, our foots were removed from the tub and placed in a regular soaking basin to clean off followed by the owner drying our feet off and providing a quick oil rub massage. I highly recommend these and the many other ways to detox the body (cleanses/colonics). Our systems are overloaded with high levels of toxicity from the harmful chemicals in our hygiene products, cleaning products, foods we eat, and natural airborne toxins. The liver/kidneys works overtime to filter them out so detox methods are a great way to help out.
