Was charged twice after pausing my account to which they were very reluctant on giving my money back and had to go back and forth multiple times through e-mail due to the fact that the front desk people can only sign you up for a membership and cannot help you with pausing or canceling a membership. Also extreamly saddened to hear the climbing gym is going to be reduced in size.

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!

She is also very knowledgeable about pressure points. Unfortunately I just moved back to California or I would go to her every month!

I strongly recommend you visit Move into Mindfulness' Facebook page, and send Stephanie a note. By following this group, I receive regular updates, suggestions for meals and even - vacation planning! This last one was unexpected, and very welcome. If you'd like to learn more about Mindfulness, Healthy Living and Qi Gong, check out what she has to offer. You won't be disappointed!

Each client receives training and guidance on the key steps that are most critical for your optimal results. I make it simple for you also: together we clarify your needs, and our expectations of each other.

Mentoring sessions can include powerful mind/body exercises that help you connect with your inner wisdom and true voice, which is another essential component of making healthy habits stick.
