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.

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.

In a few sentences, this is a space dedicated to making you feel good about yourself. The downstairs apothecary is filled with herbs, tinctures and crystals to help you with any ailment. 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!

Wendy's manner was excellent. She took time getting to know my history, habits, complaints and lifestyle before every treatment. She explained everything she was doing beforehand which made me feel at ease. Almost immediately, there were subtle, but discernible improvements, in my back and throughout my body as a whole. I would highly recommend Wendy to anyone who wishes to improve their body, maintain their health, or seek relief from a specific injury or discomfort.

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. Victoria called me the very next day and conveyed so much information that I immediately knew that I had found the right person. 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!
