Working with David has truly been life changing, and I don't say this lightly, as I was rather…read moreskeptical at first. but knew I needed support in my healing and recovery. Since working with David I've felt more balanced in my body and life, and have become more self assured. He's a very thoughtful and perceptive practitioner, and I was able to see results rather quickly. He also is a wealth of information and introduced me to resources that has been very important to me and my development. I highly recommend Life Forces!

In our initial call, David claimed one session could cure my trauma. Already a red flag…read more When I arrived at my appointment, David led me to an empty floor of the building and an empty office. I did not feel safe. The first half (yes half!) of the session was David patronizingly explaining physical and spiritual concepts without soliciting feedback. I know what a chakra is. I know that the human body can carry an electrical current. I couldn't get a word in edgewise to say that, or to disagree with some of his wilder claims. The energy healing itself wasn't helpful for me, which is fine - clearly we weren't exactly vibing. My real complaint there is that I told him "This isn't really working for me," and he gave me this smug look and said, "Oh it's working." He also left the room for the last five or so minutes of the session without saying anything. I'd look for energy healing elsewhere.

I did an energy healing session with Erin Leigh Rusch. I was initially nervous, but from the…read morebeginning of the session, her calming presence helped me to feel relaxed during the session. She was professional in her interactions and confident in her practice. After the 50 minute session, I felt lighter, relaxed and more free. It's further hard to describe, but reminds me of how I felt after a Hot Yoga class or a deep tissue massage. At the end, we talked and she created the opportunity to answer any questions that I had. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a new experience or looking to connect more with themselves.

I went into Sense post-quarantine-shutdown, and felt very safe. All of the staff was sanitizing between clients and everyone in the salon was spread out and masked.

You can also book appointments for Akashic readings or with a reiki master in their well appointed healing rooms. Upstairs, there's a simple and beautiful space for styling but at night you can find a variety of health and wellness classes to appeal to any age or background. I recently attended a class here with Woo Woo Company and was so excited to be able to meet like minded people in such a welcoming space. I only wish I had more time to explore the apothecary downstairs but it's probably a good thing because I could see myself dropping dollars there!

My massage was going really well and then when it was over and I got dressed, I looked at the clock and the time showed one hour since the massage started. I left the room and told the masseuse that I had booked a 90 minute massage. She said that I had arrived 30 minutes late so she only gave me a 60 minute one. I corrected her that I had, in fact, arrived early for my massage. After a few minutes of confusion, she said "get back on the table, I'll work it out." I got undressed again and she finished the massage. But the interruption, having to get dressed, undressed and then redressed completely ruined the experience. When I mentioned this to the woman at the front desk, she barely said a word, and charged me for the 90 minutes (although the dressing/undressing lost about 10 minutes of time). I would NEVER go back to this place. I thought they handled this very unprofessionally (in fact not at all). The masseuse should know how long their customers are there for BEFORE they start, and OHANA should have compensated me for my lost time and not great experience.

My experience has been both with Reiki and group classes. One particular thing that initially stood out to me was her respect towards various avenues of individual belief, religion, and spirituality.

Sherri is truly one of the most professional, compassionate, and knowledgeable people I know in her field. I can guarantee that you will grow from your work with her.

Wendy's help and guidance over the past couple months have truly been an integral part of my healing process. I've been doing a weekly combination of acupuncture and reiki, and I highly recommend it. Even after a just a preliminary reiki session, I immediately felt more grounded and at peace, and my lower back pain was gone. Wendy took great care to thoroughly go over my physical and mental health history, as well as past and current life struggles before we began our sessions. She tailors each session accordingly, and very thoroughly explains her reasoning behind her decisions--it is so interesting and informative! She has provided me many helpful tips and tricks to take moving forward! Along with being an amazing healer, Wendy is such a kind, thoughtful, and caring person--I am truly lucky to have found her in my healing journey.

I'd had two lymphatic drainage treatments at other places in the DMV and both were just meh. But I took a shot and requested a phone consult.

I've been seeing her for several months now and she has reduced my soreness and swelling IMMENSELY. Now I go regularly--particularly after air travel (which I do often and which my body hates) and I feel so rejuvenated after each session. She is such a kind, peaceful and incredibly knowledgeable practitioner--she seems to intuitively know what areas need help and what to do to treat them. But it's not just intuition. She is absolutely brilliant--and in the most humble and unassuming way. I honestly cannot rave enough about her (as you can see LOL). If you need a lymphatic drainage massage or homeopathic work, do yourself a favor and call her!! You will be sooo happy you did!
