7 stars and I'm not exaggerating. The moment I entered the space Ashira created, the mood was set…read more It was obvious that every tiny attention to detail was well thought out in advance and tailored to deliver even more than I asked for in the consultation. I realized that she had been listening so closely during the initial conversation that even comments that I thought had nothing to do with the service were picked up on and weaved into the experience. She was extremely patient and unhurried and I could tell that her entire focus was on making sure I received exactly what I needed beyond what I knew I needed myself - That must be the intuitive part and Ashira is definitely gifted there. As much as I kept reminding myself to stay in the moment and completely absorb what was happening, even in the beginning I could feel the pull of thinking about my next appointment.

I've never thought words like this would come out of my mouth, but something magical happened when…read moreI visited Washington, DC. I was with my son when someone overheard my conversation, and referred me to a local healer. I arrived in physical discomfort, as well as with low energy and not a good mindset. Ashira's office was attractive, warm and comfortable. We talked for a short time and then I'm not sure how to describe what happened next--we did some breathing, body work and she guided me along the way--but, when we were done, I felt like something was different. I was more like myself and at home in my mind and body then I've ever experienced in my life. I went with physical symptoms related to a medical condition i have, but what I ended up receiving was much more. Freedom from the symptoms of a chronic medical condition from which I've had discomfort for years and a sense of peace that I'm still experiencing more than a month later. I even extended our trip an extra day so that we could work more with her. Ashira taught my son some special movements and meditation, and since he began practicing, his school grades and behavior have had noticeable improvement! He's also calmer and more loving since that trip. I plan to make another trip for us to go back to Mind Body Fusion and work with Ashira. We are also making arrangements to go on her retreat. It was all pretty special experience.

I have tried dry needling, muscular scraping, "massage therapy", chiropractic and yoga to try to remove the pain in my neck that my poor posture at work has created. It was not until I met David that I can truly say I have been pain free and had the restoration of my full range of motion. It took several sessions with gradually increasing levels of depth and pressure but I am now able to work and play sports pain free between sessions. David has endeavored to make me as comfortable as possible while not allowing me to get in the way of my treatment. He is a professional in the truest sense of the word and as such I have sent both my Wife and soon my Mother to see him as well.

I visited Journey Within Wellness after grabbing a Groupon for an hour-long massage and an…read morehour-long float therapy session, and overall it was a really interesting and refreshing experience. My massage was done by RiRi (I believe that was her name), who I later found out is a former Olympian in boxing; which was such a random but cool fact. She definitely brought the energy you'd expect from that background: strong hands, great pressure, and a solid sense of what she was doing. She also had a great personality and made the session feel comfortable and easy to enjoy. After that, I went into the float therapy session for an hour. The vibe in the float room is super quiet, dark, and calming. It's definitely designed for deep relaxation and mental reset. I went in thinking I'd completely zone out, but honestly, I had a bit of a hard time fully relaxing and found myself just kind of looking around and adjusting at times. Not a bad thing, just depends on how naturally you can settle into that kind of environment. If you're someone who really enjoys peaceful, zen spaces and can disconnect easily, this will probably hit perfectly. One thing I do wish I had done differently is bring a book. While some people may fall asleep or fully meditate, I think having something light to read would've been a nice way for me to stay relaxed without overthinking or fidgeting. A couple of practical tips: definitely use the earplugs they provide, and make sure to shower afterward. Also, double-check the location when booking. I accidentally went to the wrong location and ended up about 45 minutes away, which made me about an hour late. Thankfully, the staff at this location was very understanding and accommodating, which I really appreciated. The facility itself is very clean, modern, and easy to access, and parking was simple with no issues. Overall, it's a solid spot if you're looking to try something different, unwind, and step into a calm, low-stimulation environment.

I like the idea of this place. I visited the Columbia location a couple of years ago and had an…read moreokay experience. When I showed up at the Columbia location, there was a glob of long hair in the shower. Fast-forward to the new location in Rockville. The owner was nice, and the place is nice, but the general area didn't give the feel of a cozy spa. The float room had a glob of hair and lint under the bench. The water felt oily, like after you take a bath, and there was black, oily buildup around the float tank. I'm not sure if they're not cleaning between floats or if they're rushing. My appointment was at 11, so I'm not sure if someone got in prior to my appointment. I brought it to the owner's attention, and he was nice about me going through Groupon to get a refund. Lastly, there was a load of laundry (I'm assuming it was clean) sitting on the couch in the lobby, which is another reason why I said it didn't give off a cozy spa feel. My main issue is the cleanliness of the establishment. Instead of leaving feeling relaxed, I left feeling stressed, anxious, and annoyed. The opposite of what I expected to feel after leaving a spa.

This was the weirdest massage experience. I was gifted a massage here and booked an appointment a…read morefew days in advance. They seemed to have loads of appointments available. I don't know any of the therapists so I let the system choose mine for me. I arrived 15 mins before my appointment time as most places want you to chill out with a cup of tea and some relaxing music before your massage. No dice. The (kinda rundown) building has a janky call box to let you in and you can't hear I'd and when someone answers to buzz you in. Another person came in with me and told me how creepy the building was - the floor she got off on was barely half lit. I get to the floor of the place and it was stinky and dimly lit too. I find the door - it's locked - and I knock. No one is there. It's late morning not first thing in the day. So I call the place and a guy answers but sounds like I bothered him - tells me that he's working remotely and will call my therapist. Then calls me to tell me she's in her way. She arrives just after when my appointment was to start. So now I'm a bit worked up but also weirdly nervous because the whole thing was so off putting. Therapist was curt and arrived with a child. I nearly changed my mind and left but decided to stay went with it. Since no one was there nothing was prepared. Cold table - warmer not on. No music, no ambiance. No offer of a drink before. Just a lot of turning on computers and lights. I don't want to be there for that when I'm there for pure relaxation. The massage itself was decidedly fine. Not terrible but definitely not the best I've experienced by any measure. It was matter of fact with no consultation really. Just business and done. I wasn't impressed. This isn't the experience I'd ever want someone else to spend their hard earned money on for some relaxation. There are comparably priced places where you'd get the full experience of a spa relaxation. Go there.

I'm glad that she did. I just finished my 10th session - I feel better, my posture has improved, and my low back pain has decreased. I would highly recommend this practice to anyone who needs deep tissue work and/or who suffers from chronic muscle pain.

Looking for something new after drugs and braces were not helping, I found Michelle Macomber. I walked out of my first appointment in very little pain, with no brace, and able to move. She really knows what she is doing. I have subsequently come back to her 2 more times in the past month for follow up on my back and each time left feeling GREAT. I am not so good at consistently doing all of the stretches she recommends, I believe that if I stretch as often as she told me to, I wouldn't have had to go back. She is very friendly and kind, I would recommend her to anyone and EVERYONE, for any kind of pain.

Stay far away from Glenda. If you have any preferences or requests…read moreshe will do the opposite. She hides behind what she is "feeling" which ends up being what she doesn't feel like doing. She will interrupt the services with her own thoughts; it's all about her. I seriously think she has a personality problem, since I made the mistake of going to her twice (once years ago, and then last week - oops.) When I asked her why she did not even touch the right side of my body, the side I spoke to her about before the session and what brought me in, she said she sensed that "I" wasn't ready. That's gaslighting. Apparently some passive aggressive action, too. She said "3 sessions kept coming into my mind" and wanted to string me along to keep coming back to finally actually get touched on that side of my body. I can't believe I paid for this kind of abuse. Emotional and frankly physical. Can't believe she thinks she can masquerade behind this flimsy excuse. Please, if you are feeling vulnerable and need body work do not go to this possessed person, because she will pounce on your vulnerability in a narcissistic fever. Stay away!

Had a massage with Shannon today that really exceeded expectations. She discussed more options than…read moreI knew I had (after having dozens of massages at a few different places in difference cities in last couple years) and really seemed interested in helping me with my discomfort even if it meant less business for her. For example she gave me some novel tips on working out the knots myself and even recommended some great affordable yoga places when I mentioned my interest in that. She also told me about their therapist that specializes in really deep massage too. The massage itself was great too with good deep pressure and she hit some spots that most massage therapists in the past haven't gotten as well. I bought a five pack of massages (never expires and can share with your girlfriend/spouse and you save $10 per 60 minute massage over the normal $90) given the great experience. Had a massage from Cheryl (owner) a few months back too; very good massage but lighter pressure than Shannon was able to do and not quite as much awesome info but would still recommend her.

Though her appointment availability is limited due to travel time, she is very concerned about giving herself enough time to travel between clients' homes while being on time - a task, I would imagine, is difficult considering Northern VA traffic. She was right on time and ready to get set up. She set up her station as I got changed. By the time I came downstairs she was ready to begin. She let me choose an aromatherapy scent (I chose lavender). The scent was a little strong for my taste, but I also have very sensitive olfactories. I can't say enough about the massage itself. I felt so relaxed and comfortable. Afterward, my body felt loose and relaxed. It was so incredible. Afterward, she turned around so I could get up and get my robe on. While I ran upstairs to change, she packed up. Afterward, I paid her a large tip due to the quality of the massage. It was one of the best I've ever had. As aforementioned, I get massages fairly regularly. Since I had an Angie's List coupon, the massage was prepaid. She gave me some cards to pass out (which I did). The price of the massage without the Angie's List coupon is $80, which is a little high, but considering it is in your own home, is very reasonable. I will absolutely use Ramona again.
