I had an extremely disturbing experience during my session. After two appointments that established my trust, Charles Haywood engaged in non‑consensual sexual contact while I was on the table. When I told him to stop, he continued to pressure me to allow further sexual contact, even after I said no multiple times. I felt unsafe and unable to leave right away, and waited for the first moment I could to collect myself and my things and exit the appointment safely. I reported the incident to the local authorities, which required several hours of speaking with different representatives and navigating language barriers. This was a clear violation of professional and personal boundaries. I'm sharing this so others can make informed decisions and stay safe. read more

When I made my initial appointment, I was clear that I did NOT wish to have the painful typical eastern style reflexology appointment. And I appreciated this request was respected. Although I want (and need) to understand what's going on in my body, but not to the point of pain (my past experiences). Understand this is a gentle soothing practice for someone looking for a healing foot massage, that in turns seems to align your chakras and soothe the soul. The fact that Charles is invested and not clinical, may shock those who are accustomed to the sometimes cold disconnected demeanor found in offices that are more western style medical settings. I highly recommend this experience for those looking to have an "ahhhhhhh" experience, as opposed to an "ouch" experience. read more

Charles has an amazing gift in healing through reflexology. Recently I was visiting my sister in LA as I live in San Diego. I had the opportunity to meet Charles who has a wealth of knowledge and many years of experience. He explained all about reflexology and how it works within the body. So I had a reflexology session...It released negative energy...Opened my body and mind...I felt relaxed..at peace... Jillian Brumidis read more

Charles is a really great - kind guy. I was a little hesitant with everything going on nowadays with Covid. But my foot was in a lot of pain. Currently he only sees two people a day, two sessions a day and experience with was definitely a good one. We both wore masks and I can tell by what we spoke about and his foot massage that he is the real deal.I am hoping to use some of his suggestions of stretching and nutrition and water drinking to help with the healing of my foot. read more

So I've taken a long time to write this, but it's very due. After all, it's why Yelp is so great, it helps us find hidden gems and Charles is one of them. I had some serious plantar fasciitis and wanted to find something to help with the pain. When I arrived, the environment was very zen, and Charles fits the part as well. He explained to me what he was going to do and then after I was ready, proceeded to work his magic. We spoke quite a lot, and Charles is a wealth of knowledge if you get into a conversation with him! He also teaches qigong classes. I've since healed my foot, and everything is better but if I need some top-notch reflexology, I know where to go! read more

I have looked for years for someone who is actually trained in the art and science of reflexology. Charles is incredible. I came to him because I had aches and pains in my joints and through my IT bands. I also have been having trouble sleeping well for years. After ONE appointment I felt amazing. He told me I would sleep like a baby that night, and I DID! Charles is a true healer. He is so intuitive. He truly has a special gift and I am so glad I found him! read more

Terrible experience and I haven't even received my massage yet. Purchased through Groupon for an hour long reflexology massage. I called twice and left 2 messages, called multiple other times and emailed 3 times without response. Finally today, when I left another message, I finally get a call and instead of owning up to not responding to my emails or calls, Charles says that he never got any messages and that phone is the best way to reach him. I called and left multiple messages and he never addressed not responding to email yet the website says click here to request appointment. If that is not a vid method of contact, then dont put it on the website. He then proceeds to berate me and say he isn't here to argue and that he has been in practice for 18 years instead of apologizing for not responding. Since he continued to cut me off, we had nothing further to discuss and I ended the call. Only after the call ended did he try to apologize and say he can not help me. Don't use this service. Typical bullshit and lack of customer service. Horrible at best.. Charles keeps texting me confirming his lack of professionalism : " read more

Rejuvenating Chi Reflexology - He failed to listen and feels his 18 years of experience is worth more than customer service. - Reflexology Near Me - Los Angeles, California

It's the difference between someone rubbing your feet - which can be okay, to someone truly understanding the connection between our feet and our health. Charles Haywood is that person. He was recommended to me by a reiki practitioner. Charles is exactly what I had been searching for - Trained. Professional. Kind. Well-rounded with information available on nutrition and spirituality. Your feet are the gateway to good health. Let Charles take care of your soles and soul. You'll be thrilled and your feet will love you for the attention! Give yourself and your feet a treat - Make an appointment with Charles for a REAL and terrific foot experience! read more

Charles is quite simply ... exceptional! I went to him because I was experiencing sciatica in my right leg. On a pain scale of 1-10, I was a 9! After his treatment, it was a 2! Through the magic of his reflexology skills ... plus stretching, massage, and breathing exercises ... the results seemed like a miracle. What I also like about Charles is his extraordinary level and attention to great service. I've been to him 4 times now and he always takes the time to talk, listen, advise, and counsel. His insights, perspectives, and wisdom is quite profound as he treats 'the whole me' - spirit, mental, emotional, and physical - and not just my leg. To boot, he's a super nice, cool guy! read more

I had the pleasure of connecting with Charles at a Qigong seminar in San Diego. He set up some time during the conference to give me a Reflexology treatment. The man walks his talk. I felt good and slept well that evening. Gotta make time to get up to LA for some more! read more

So happy to have done reflexology with such a knowledgeable individual. Charles asked tons of questions and really took the time to understand my needs/ concerns. The session was great and I felt much relief when it was done. Would hands down recommend him to anyone! read more

Charles is amazing! His spirit and energy is so uplifting. He really helped me turn my healing process around. Before Charles, I was in a negative racket of thought. He help me break this repetitive negative mind set to then allow myself to heal. I became aware that I wasn't allowing my body time to heal, he made me realize that I am capable of healing, I just haven't allowed the time to do so. As for his reflexology ability he has magical hands. I have been suffering from plantar fasciitis for 8 months now and when Charles treats me, my feet feel like they are reset. If you are having any kind of blockage in your life Charles can help you. I have even referred my mother and husband to Charles. read more

I have experienced great deep tissue message to my feet in which I needed for a long time. Restoring circulation and improving (not there yet) less numbness and discomfort in my feet. Charles not only knows his craft (reflexology) but gives out great advice in regards to wellness for the entire body. Gives positive feedback on each visit, and he's not afraid to share his thoughts with you and keeping you on track and accountable. Sometimes we (I) need to be better listeners and than doers if we are to experience GOOD change. Thank you Charles for listening as well. read more

He was very opinionated and made snap judgements before even meeting me. I decided to be open based on these reviews and went. He asked many questions and told me that I am stuck in my story. I never would have given him 'my story' if he hadn't asked. I have done many different healing modalities and seen many healers. The ego on this man is not healthy. I decided to trust my instincts and told him that I didn't think I would stay for my appointment he said that I don't want to heal. I told him he should not be so quick to judge. Wow, he lost it and ended up chasing me down the stairs yelling at me. I actually sat it my car and laughed it was so disturbing and ridiculous. I just wanted a relaxing foot reflexology session and ended up with a hostile guru. read more

Best massage I've had in so long!! Charles is an amazing therapist to see and he is very well educated on the body and how it functions!! He made me feel rejuvenated and light! Thank you Charles!! read more

Charles is amazing! He's a brilliant healer and professional. After just one session with him for a combined Swedish massage and foot reflexology, I felt renewed. Much of my stuck energy "aka stress, various aches and pains, sleeplessness..." dissipated. This renewal increased after taking his qigong class! Charles taught fabulous healing breathing exercises that is Qigong. Currently I think his classes are every other Monday from 6PM-7PM. Sign up and take a few. Your mind & body will thank you. read more

Horrible customer service or should I say no customer service. I bought a livingsocial coupons and have left messages. They have not returned my calls. I have requested a refund from livingsocial. I would not not trust these people to touch me. read more

Charles is a master of his craft. You walk in with your problems and walk out...more like you float out...on a cloud. His healing hands and thoughtful healing suggestions cover all of you, from bottom to top. I'm impressed. More important, I'm benefitting. read more

Prior to coming in I mentioned I wanted a traditional reflexology session - not a foot massage, like so many of the other Chinese massage parlors, and he assured me he's practiced reflexology for 17 years and I could be confident in his methodology. It ended up being more like a new age "energetic" reflexology session - not one that stimulates actual zones of the foot to target certain organs. Charles is a friendly person, but I witnessed his personality drastically change after the session. He seems unstable and unprofessional. He had the nerve to ask for a tip after he yelled at me for raising his stress levels when I politely mentioned the session ran way over than I expected (2.5 hours total) which made me late for something else. I had a vague sense of time because my phone was off and there were no clocks in the room, and maybe an hour of that was spent with him showing me how to stretch and then balancing my chakras with a pendulum. In the end, I had to be the one to calm him down, or else he would yell more. I went in with an open mind and left disappointed. I wish him the best personally, but professionally I do not recommend him. Zero stars. read more

If I could give 0 stars, I would. This scam artist "Charles" wanted to charge me $125 for essentially a foot massage and health and wellness "advice". He stretched out a whole hour and a half just to tell me I needed to drink more water and sleep more. Wow thank you so much for that revolutionary advice!? Save your time guys. He'll kiss your ass if he thinks you're paying full price and as soon as you mention you've got a Groupon voucher, you're dead to him. read more

This was my first experience with reflexology, and now the bar is high! Charles was welcoming, friendly, and calming. He spent time asking questions and educating me in stretches and ways to start my healing journey (I have lower back pain) before he even began the massage/reflexology. The ambience was perfect, and I felt so relaxed and refreshed when he was finished. Again, at the end, he took time to sit and ask questions and left me with many ways to improve my well being from here on out. He teaches chigong and I am excited to attend a class! Thanks again Charles! read more

Charles was fantastic! Very friendly, knowledgeable, and experienced in overall health! He spends time listening to your concerns and targets the areas that are causing pain or discomfort. I left feeling relaxed and my plantar fasciitis felt a lot better!! It was such an amazing session so if you're looking for the best reflexologist in West LA, Charles is it!! read more

I went to Charles because of a deal, which really made his massage a bargain. However, his regular rate is still reasonable. I truly had a great massage. He spent time on both full body and foot reflexology and I was so relaxed, I fell asleep. He has a technique that I really liked. When the massage was over, my feet felt like they were walking on air. It's nice to be able to fully relax and as other reviewers have said, Charles also provides nutritional advice and overall wellness advice. Will definitely go back again. read more

I was referred to Charles through the Beverly Hills Therapy Group. I was having trouble relaxing and sleeping and had some aches and pains. I will say that Charles spent so much time talking with me and getting to the root of my issues. He made suggestions regarding diet, water and exercise and once the reflexology began, I was in heaven. I fell asleep on the table. When I was done my body felt looser, I had less pain, and was totally relaxed. I came home and slept the rest of the afternoon. I would recommend Charles to anyone. He really has magic hands and if you think reflexology is just a foot massage...try it for yourself! read more

I am speaking from the heart, Charles is a healer and the Real Deal. He uses his reflexology practice as a way to heal our entire body and soul! I'm still vibrating from his healing touch four days later. After opening up my chakras, and then balancing them, I could feel my entire being lighten up yet fully relax at the same time. I've had reflexology before, but nothing came close to the way Charles gently yet firmly works with the feet on a deep level. He is very present and aware, and is therefore available to advise us on what we can do to better improve our life and our body. I am so grateful to Charles for being so caring and authentic! read more

As a nurse and manager, I am on my feet all day caring for our patients and team. This can often leave me feeling not only physically exhausted, but mentally as well. After a session with Charles, I leave feeling energized and renewed. read more

Just met Charles and had my first foot reflexology session with him and it won't be the last. He takes time to find out what's going on with you and your body and makes suggestions on what you can do to lead a healthier life, which was appreciated. Once he started working on my feet, I was at a different place. I was so relaxed, even though there was a bit of pain occasionally and, the heel pain I had been having for 3 weeks on my right foot was totally gone. Amazing. I recommend him to anyone who wants to feel better and live healthier. read more

I went to Charles with very specific pain and sleep complaints and he was better than anyone else out there! He looked at the whole picture, and gave advice that went far beyond just a "foot rubber"! He is a healer, and those are difficult to find! A true professional! read more

I wanted a nice massage and reflexology experience. Instead, prior to starting, I got an unsolicited and unneeded lecture (and questions) about my lifestyle and dietary habits. During the massage, where I was put in an awkward position, for me, and I mentioned I was getting a migraine from it. I was told that a migraine was a "very bad headache" and I wasn't getting that. I had to explain what a migraine was (as opposed to a headache). The reflexology was OK, but painful, which, for me is stress producing. I wanted to relax. read more

Charles is extremely courteous, patient, knowledgable and just a kind person. He has an impressive background, and is very eager and kind to share his many areas of wisdom. One of the kindest, most gentle people you can meet. Thank you Charles! read more

Wow, that's what I can say!! I've worked with others before but Charles is truly gifted. I was in Las Vegas and ran into him about 2 day after I arrived. It just so happened my lower knee and back was causing a challenge for me. Plus all of that walking! - He told me about his practice in LA and I said hey.., can you help me now, I live in AZ! He agreed and provided me a 1 hour session. I was pain free for the remainder of my 6 day trip. Folks in LA.., if you've not experience his work, you're really missing out!! Charles, if you're ever in Tucson, AZ please let me know!! Thank U from the Bottom of my Heart!! KJ read more

Charles, (Charlie) is right on with his assessments and treatments. He is very professional in his approach and goes that extra mile to ensure you are re-energized and ready to take on whatever comes your way. Goodbye pain and stress, learn more about what you can do personally to increase your over all fitness and well being. Charles has taught me many very simple stretches that have reduced and eradicated lower back pain. I have now had two treatments from Charles and on both occasions was so relaxed, I actually fell asleep briefly. I am the most energized and focused I have felt in many years and have left his practice literally feeling that I am floating along on big cushions. :) I am also going to attend the Qi-Gong class Charles holds every other Monday, next one April 11th 2016. Thanks Charles, you a wonderful and gifted person. Laurie read more

What an awesome experience! Physical therapy, reflexology and chi all in one visit. Many recommendation in nutrition, stretching exercises, and more advice. Although I live in boston I will be back every time I am visiting Santa Monica! read more

The importance of understanding "chi" reflexology is that going to Charles is more than just a foot massage. If you are going to go to him understand that he is someone that is guiding movement of chi and a shift in the body. So if all you are looking for is just a foot massage, this is NOT your guy. He is a healer, not a foot masseus. Prepare to perhaps have some discomfort arise, and know that that will move up and out! Charles is a very upfront, forward healer who is here to create a shift!! When going to him be prepared to shift! I enjoyed my experience with him fully and got much healing out of it! read more

Charles is the real deal when it comes to reflexology. He completely opened up my feet, as in relaxed all the muscles, whereas before I was hobbling in pain. I fell asleep while he was working his magic. I highly recommend him if you want someone who knows the ins and outs of reflexology. read more

I had an incredible session with Charles yesterday, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. Not only does he truly care about what's going on - not just "are your shoulders sore?" type of stuff - but overall wellness including nutrition, lifestyle, stress level, etc. It felt so good to be treated holistically with an eye towards overall wellness and not just what ails you at that particular moment. I got a lot of good tips about how to lower my stress and improve my sleep which will pay off long-term, not just from 60 minutes of a massage. But even better than the massage (which was also awesome) was the reflexology. If you've never had foot reflexology before, you need to see Charles - it was like my feet came back to life! I've never experienced anything like it. I'll be sending my husband to see him too. read more
