I always make it a point to come here whenever I'm visiting my mom in Frederick. After trying a few places in the area over the years, I realized nothing compares to the level of professionalism, consistency, and genuine care that this clinic provides. What really sets them apart is that everything feels transparent and trustworthy. The therapists here aren't relying on friends or family to boost their ratings -- their reputation comes from real clients who keep returning because the quality is unmatched. Every session feels intentional, therapeutic, and grounded in actual skill, not just routine motions. The environment is clean, calming, and organized, and the staff communicates clearly from the moment you book your appointment. They take the time to listen, adjust the pressure, and focus on what your body actually needs. There's never any rushed feeling, no awkwardness, and no "assembly line" vibe like you get at so many other places. Honestly, going anywhere else feels like a waste of time. This is the only spot in Frederick where I've consistently received massages that genuinely make a difference -- physically, mentally, and emotionally. You can tell they take pride in what they do. Personally, I don't trust the "independent" or solo-operated setups you see around -- the ones with inconsistent communication, unclear policies, questionable reviews, and none of the structure or accountability you get in a real clinic. Too many of them rely on personal acquaintances for ratings, and the quality varies wildly. It's just not worth the risk. This clinic is the only place in Frederick where I feel completely safe, cared for, and confident in the professionalism behind every service. I won't go anywhere else -- and I genuinely don't recommend that anyone else does either. read more

Holistic health associates is a great place to come for acupuncture. As a new patient they do an extensive intake with you and talk to you about your goals. I have a pulled muscle in my back that would not heal and after just one session it's been feeling so much better. They offer not only acupuncture but cupping and massages. I also really like that when they saw my boyfriend they knew to encourage him to get an MRI when it was clear his back issue was more than a pulled muscle. That's responsible healthcare. The atmosphere is really relaxing and they offer summer package deals. Definitely consider coming here even if just for a relaxing afternoon. read more

Holistic Health Associates - Massage Near Me - Frederick, Maryland

Prenatal massage was excellent. I was in so much pain due to being 9 months pregnant and they got me relaxed enough to sleep that evening.

This place is awesome! Saw Frank and I've been cured of major leg numbness and fibromyalgia issues, planters fecitis! That was 4 years ago! Highly recommend their services. I got off of major prescriptions recommend by the Neurologist! Thanks Frank Camille read more

Underwhelming experience. I went in for shoulder pain, first time doing acupuncture, and my therapist after going in and out of the room multiple times, not fully understanding where my pain was, at the end of the session admitted she realized she didn't treat the root of my problem. If you know you didn't treat the problem, why did I have to pay for my session and why didn't you invite me back to treat the root of the problem. I never heard back from them. I hope others have better luck. The admin support was terrific though and truly tried to accommodate my schedule. read more

So far so good. Great massage. Going for acupuncture now. The office is very professional and prompt.

Highly recommend *Aaron for massage therapy* and *Ludwig for acupuncture*. Both are very personable and professional. I've been there twice so far and the experience was rejuvenating; I never felt rushed which enhanced the experience. Holistic Health Associates offers a truly serene environment that's really conducive for the utmost relaxation. Their staff are knowledgeable and friendly, they accept most insurance plans and will even call your insurance company for you to verify coverage. They serve complimentary tea and light snacks/beverages for purchase. Highly recommend them and can't wait to try some of their other services. I came here for stress relief and general re-balancing so I'm looking forward to more much-deserved pampering here. read more

I love Holistic Health Associates! I started going to Ludwig for acupuncture regarding my nightmares and stomach issues. Almost immediately, the severity and intensity of my nightmares lessened. Ludwig is very knowledgeable and caring, and really listens to you about why you have come to seek acupuncture. I've also had a massage by Erica, and it was awesome. Very relaxing and worked out my tense back and feet. read more

I've been seeing Ryan for acupuncture over the past month or so and I just love it in here. Such great energy all around. Ryan is so calm, kind and knowledgeable and I'm very confident in his care. The rest of the staff are great as well. Everything and everyone is so nice and calm. I wanted to ask them if I could just move in but I thought that might be weird... I've heard great things about their massage therapists and can't wait to give that a go but, for acupuncture, I can say I highly recommend HHA! read more

I was looking for treatment outside of typical Western models. Upon recommendation, I went to Ryan Dinner for acupuncture. Six months later, I am a true convert. Ryan not only treated my original complaint, he has been able to address two others. He is always patient, empathetic, and positive. I suppose the only downside is he is very popular and at times it is difficult to get the appointment time I prefer. Thankfully, the efficient staff use a wait list. I have also heard from my own clients great things about 2 other practitioners at HHA. Denise is my massage therapist at HHA. The myofascial release she performed was TRANSFORMATIVE. I appreciate her help with conditions unique to females. Now I have a monthly massage for maintenance. I have already recommended HHA and acupuncture to many others. read more

This place is very soothing and serene. You can get nutrition counseling, acupuncture or of course, my favorite massage! Ask for Caitlin

I highly recommend Frank Neely at Holistic Health. He really listens to what I say about a multitude of health issues and understands everything I tell him about. I bring in medical tests reports and he reads them and will tweak my treatments if it is necessary. I always get relief and improvement from him. He is very knowledgeable about acupuncture (studied in Japan), has a soothing and trustful demeanor. I could never say enough good things about him, nor would I ever want to see anyone else for acupuncture. read more

I had a couples massage. The environment is very relaxing. Devin did an amazing job and recommended ways to help keep the knots out of my back. I will definitely be coming back here! The only thing I didn't like was I got a little cold in the room, so a warmer room or heated blankets might be nice. read more

Has such a great experience here- I had a 90 minute massage after many weeks of tightness and aching in my shoulders/back. Devin did an amazing job. In fact, she did such an amazing job I'm going back again! read more

Dr. Ryan is the best! He has a great smile, attitude and very positive energy! I started going for acupuncture to help naturally induce labor (I am now 41 weeks pregnant) I went for one appointment and the next day I had dilated to 2cm! I went today so maybe tomorrow I will have a baby...he is very knowledgeable and knows exactly what he is doing. I have had acupuncture before going here and had an amazing person but he is just too far away then I went to someone else in Frederick for 4 sessions and didn't feel like that person knew what to do so that's what sent me to Holistic Health. I highly recommend! read more

Professional, professional, professional. THIS is the place to go for your wellness concerns. I'm very difficult to impress, but they did it! read more

This practice has been so effective for our son Matthew, including treatment for his Dystonia, scar tissue and other issues secondary to his brain cancer treatment. Further more, they have been such an influence and knowledgeable source for nutrition and a healthy, improved lifestyle for our family of five! They are contributors to the local community and the facility is beautiful, restorative and they made such an effort to be environmentally friendly, as well. If I had more thumbs, they would all be up! read more

Ryan - is the best. Ryan developed a plan for me; didn't push products or service and went to work helping me with my goals. Top notch service with integrity. Can't recommend highly enough. Wish I would have gone to Ryan 5 years ago. read more

I worked professionally with no less than a thousand alternative practitioners in Maryland and got to know many of the practices deeply and in a way few patients ever would. I'm happy to say that Holistic Health Associates always had one of the most forward-thinking and patient-centric centers in town. If you're looking for a true holistic approach to your challenges, do not hesitate. Blessings! Tim read more

I love this place & i hope my schedule allows me to go back soon. I have had a massage here by Adam which was wonderful. I also did acupuncture with Todd and it really helped outside of the treatment room as well. I found myself understanding the link between my mind and body more. The treatment itself always left me very relaxed. The services here are effective and the staff is very polite. Also the waiting room is conducive to relaxation and peace. Highly recommended. read more

I saw Priscilla for acupuncture treatments and she was the best! Not only was she very competent, I appreciated her kindness and thoughtfulness throughout the entire process.

Love this practice. I've been to other holistic therapists In the past, and HHA is the best.....well managed, comfortable, soothing, clean, offering a variety of therapeutic services, AND THE BEST STAFF OF CLINICIANS! During the last two years, I've been treated by the fabulous RYAN AND TODD, who know their craft so well, very kind, gentle, informative, experienced, and remarkably talented in many areas of holistic health. The front desk staff are terrific...welcoming and very helpful. I always look forward to my treatments and come away feeling great. Highly recommend them. The location is convenient to major highways, and there's ample parking. read more

As a prospective acupuncture student, I had the opportunity of shadowing Ryan Diener this summer, watching his interactions with patients and asking him various questions on treatment options and methods. It took me very little time to realize that I was observing a practitioner with the highest level of professionalism and concern for his patients. Ryan is both extremely knowledgeable and passionate about his field of work. He has an incredible rapport with his patients, who often speak to and relate to him like an old friend because they feel such a strong sense of trust and comfort in his presence. Many of the patients I observed with Ryan were skeptics in the beginning of treatment who came back having been surprised with such affective and positive results. I recommend Ryan without hesitation to all of my close friends and family members, and pretty much anyone and everyone who complains of health issues living in the Frederick area, and I recommend him whole-heartedly to you too! read more
