I can say this because I had a concussion that left me having unusual facial and head pain, along with feeling a heaviness that just would not stop.

I can honestly say after four treatments a lot of my issues have improved already immensely. I am soo thankful that I believed in Millie and would tell everyone to open your mind to natural way of healing. I not only experienced relief I also have more clarity and am sleeping much better. She still is educating herself to improve her skills. Please reach out, you will not be sorry.

So, as we walked up the steps to the Three Rivers Tibetan Cultural Center, it made me feel relaxed to see the sign" All are welcome here", before I opened the door. We took our shoes off in the small vestibule. I had read that while the beginner meditation classes on Saturday mornings are free, it is suggested that a small donation be made, since this is how the monks rely on keeping the center running, and how they are able to feed and support themselves with basic everyday needs. I donated money in a jar in the hall entranceway. I was warmly greeted by Jonnie. She seated us . Throughout the entire service and meditation session, terms and the service itself, were well-paced and explained, so I didn't feel like an outsider. The concept on intentions, paired with meditation, were eye-opening. The concept behind what real compassion is, was heart-opening.I am excited to go back and try other meditation services at local Buddhist Temples, like the one near me in Monroeville. Three Rivers Tibetan Cultural Center is located in Swissvale and there is free residential street parking.

This wellness center receives a 10 out of 5 stars in my book! it is that great! I have been benefiting from the services Sharon and this center offers over the last 4 months or so. Whether you want to just learn more about yourself, achieve more peace and balance in your life or are well along on your spiritual journey... this is the local healing center! Each and every modality/service I have received and event I have attended, has helped me grow as a person. It is very supportive and inclusive at this facility. The Reiki/sound healing Full Moon group events are healing at many levels. You receive a "bath" of amazing sound that heals at the cellular level while also reviving reiki and having a calm meditative state. I leave feeling refreshed and finding new perspectives. This is very healing for any overstimulated nervous system ! Highly recommend! Sharon is just a lovely woman whom you will feel extremely comfortable with. I have received reiki and QHHT with her and I highly recommend her amazing empathic and healing skills. Everytime I enter the center I feel a sense of warmth and home. It's a caring and loving vibe where everyone authentically cares about one another. I am thrilled to be part of this amazing community. I work in health care and let me tell you, THIS is the future of TRUE wellness! Be open minded and remember that in order to create change in our life, we must challenge fear ... we must step out of our comfort zones... This is a center that can support you on your journey of life. I hope to see you at one of the group events or please visit Sharon for 1:1 healing services.

The whole set up was nice in the individual rooms with your shower and amenities. The music and lighting and ambience of the actual float was as expected! The lounge area with oxygen bar was a little underwhelming, and there are only two massage chairs. These two features were definitely not the highlight of the experience. The staff team, however, was really great. They were so helpful, friendly, and welcoming. While I don't think this is something that I need to repeat, I'm glad I gave it a "go"!

Not all float spas are created equal…read more I learned such a fact when I cheated on this float spa with another closer to where I live, and realized the cleanliness, attention of the staff, and float experience here at True REST South Hills is a notch above the rest. First of all, the staff greets me by name here even as a total stranger, and they are genuinely interested in ensuring your highest comfort and experience. The float rooms and tanks have always been impeccably clean. Apparently, this is one of the few spas that still has the type of pod doors that open from the bottom (as opposed to others that are split in the middle and open from left to right). I learned that the type of pod doors at the South Hills location are better for holding in heat. I have never been too cold like at other True REST locations. Thank for being awesome, South Hills...I promise to never be unfaithful to you again!
