However, always give it a try, it seriously does not hurt and this practice is extremely peaceful, calm, and relaxing. All of the acupuncturist are extremely professional and they all care so much about their patients. They also offer bodyworks such as different type of massages that are geared towards relaxation. Remember they are NOT a spa. If your insurance does not cover acupuncture, they also offer community which is way cheaper. Overall, mend is the best place for one-on-one acupuncture. I would recommend black sheep in Rosedale, MD if you want a great community acupuncture. They have a $15-30 sliding scale for there community, so it's more affordable.

Initially, laying on a table covered in needles for an hour sounded terrible, but my doctor…read moresuggested it, so I gave Mend a try. Wow, was I surprised! Mend handled all of the details with my insurance and set me up with easy online booking. Fast forward a few years and through a pandemic. Currently I go to Mend for one-on-one sessions with Aurora R. who is amazing, LGBTQ affirming, and super supportive. Ida, who is typically organizing all the things and handling the front desk, is also fantastic and is always there to give a smile and a wave as you float out the door after a session. If you're nervous, hesitant, looking for a shorter session, or looking for something more affordable, Mend offers community acupuncture which consists of several lounge type chairs in a room together.

I've been…read morecoming here for over 5 years and I truly feel that acupuncture can assist in dealing with any stress and/or medical ailments. Valerie is one of the sweetest people you will ever meet. Go online to her website and sign up to schedule your appointments. The fee is $20 - $40 dollars a treatment. The setup inside is so easy. Come in wearing a mask of course and fill out the envelope with your name and insert cash. Put the envelope in the slot and walk in and find a table. Valerie will come by and ask you what you would like to address. Anything from anxiety to congestion to arthritis you name it. You tell her how long you would like, from 30 to 45 minutes. You just lay back and listen to music. It's such a peaceful arrangement even with other people being treated in the same common room. You deserve to take care of yourself and this is the perfect place to start on your journey.

It was easy to book online with Jenny and also find parking in the neighborhood when I arrived. The check in process was a bit confusing but once I found my text confirmation with the front door code it all made sense. This is a coop and each therapist handles their own clients/appointments. Jenny was ready on time and gave me an incredibly relaxing massage with lavender oils and hot stones. I actually dozed off so that tells you it was wonderful. What a great experience here. The rates are reasonable and the house is incredibly cozy!

He had never had a massage before so I was super excited to see how he might like the experience. We tried contacting several spas and massage providers who either didn't have the availability or didn't respond back. Finally, I texted Metta on the number listed on their website and they responded within a few hours. We were able to schedule sessions for the time and day we wanted via text which was very convenient. My masseuse called out sick the day of so I was paired with Forest. My boyfriend was paired with Tav. Both providers were friendly and accomodating. My boyfriend LOVED his massage with Tav. He said he dozed off a few times and could see himself coming back every month - such a great sign for someone new to massage. I enjoyed my session with Forest as well and left feeling relaxed. A few things to note: they don't provide couples massages but instead do tandem massages. Meaning, you're in different rooms. This wasn't a dealbreaker for us but could be for others depending on your preference. They also still require masks here. We brought our own surgical masks but were asked to use their K95 masks they provided. This was a little uncomfortable during the service, especially while facing down, but I can understand the need if they have a lot of immunocompromised clients or staff members.

The entire mood, spirit, aroma...everything was so relaxing and professional. I definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a massage.

If you want an acupuncturist who is down to earth, passionate about what she does and a great practitioner overall, I highly recommend that you Gena!

So... My partner and I came here for her birthday. I purchased an IV Treatment for her and a B12…read moreshot for myself. And overall, I just wanted to see the entire place because there was so much they were offering on the website. I thought to myself this would be a great place for One-Stop shopping in therapy & self-care. When I called to get more information about the IV treatments, I was referred to the website of the third party who was actually providing the treatment. It was good information and I was all in! When we arrived the gentleman at the front desk, I believe his name is Adrian, notice my hat and we had a very long conversation. We were both from New Mexico and had a lot to exchange. He showed us around and was very pleasant. Small world! When we were completing the tour the practitioner arrived to give us IV treatments. My partner was set up in a chair that seemed to be used for the IV treatments. It was something like a dentist chair but you could tell it was specifically for that purpose. Then a customer arrive to use the bike (for some sort of oxygen treatment) and another employee basically came and said we had to move. She made us felt as though we were intruding because the woman administering the IV treatment was a third party vendor (she further relayed she had no control over those appointments so we had to move). It was off-putting. We moved into a room that seemed to be for massage therapy. The whole experience left a bad taste in my mouth. The woman administering the IV treatment had to break out her phone flashlight to get enough light to administer the IV. I also use the red light therapy bed and honestly looked forward to trying some of the other therapies (specifically massage & acupuncture), but I don't think this is for me. The massage rooms look very private and perhaps calming. However, there seems to be a lot going on in the main space. It gives me locker room vibes, which may work for some, but it was not what I was expecting. If you live in the city, you can have IV treatments at your home. They'll come to you. That's what I've done going forward.

Since September, I've been struggling with significant mobility issues with no clear cause. After…read moremultiple visits to specialists, my primary care provider, and even two trips to the ER in one week, I remembered a treatment that had greatly improved my quality of life in the past - acupuncture. To my surprise, I found a wonderful clinic just eight minutes from home that also accepted my insurance! After reviewing the website, I realized their program offered everything I was looking for, and more. I had the option of a 30-minute in-person consultation or a 15-minute virtual one both on the same day. I chose to go in person because I wanted to not only learn about the services but also see the space for myself (plus, it was so close!). Shortly after booking, Cara-Michele, the practice owner, called to confirm my appointment and suggested I double-check my insurance coverage. That evening , I arrived a few minutes early, and I'm glad I did. The GPS directions were a little off. The building houses several other businesses, and is secure, requiring visitors to be buzzed in. As soon as I walked into the suite, Cara-Michele greeted me warmly, and I immediately felt comfortable and confident that I was in the right place. Her calm, compassionate demeanor and thoughtful questions helped her understand my needs, and she gave me the space to express my frustrations after so many prior appointments that left me without answers. Cara-Michele walked me through all the services offered, including nutrition and physical training, as well as showed me the equipment and products she uses. While she made no promises, I left that consultation feeling truly hopeful. I scheduled my first acupuncture treatment for the very next day, and the second the day after. After the first session, I felt about 50% better; by the second, I was nearly 90% improved. The name speaks for itself, STRENGTH & VITALITY WELLNESS CENTER! Although I've only had two treatments so far, I'm beginning to feel like myself again. I have no plans to stop anytime soon, and I'm hopeful that continuing this work will help me avoid a major surgery that was scheduled before the end of the year. P.S. the address for this location is 106 Old Court Rd. Ste#200 Pikesville, MD not 6302 Falls Rd.

I'd had one before at Vita Revive but wasn't as impressed because their door had an opening near the hinge that let cool air in so I didn't feel like I was getting the complete effect. The sauna at Holistic Solutions was state of the art, from the lighting, areas of concentration for the infrared treatment, the lighting, even down to the music (either your own or choose from a selection similar to what you'd expect to hear during a massage session). Cara-Michele was great and seems knowledgeable about her craft (which seems to be overall holistic wellness). She took the time to explain how the sauna works to me and after my session she walked me through all the different programs she offers. I liked that she had a lot of holistic supplements for purchase but I only discovered them from looking around on my own, she didn't try to push them on me like a used cars salesmen. Outside of supplements she also has nutrient powders and shakes but be advised they're not vegan. I have a primary place I already visit for acupuncture but I do plan to visit this place again to try out some of the other services offered.
