OK, REWIND! Unwind Wellness has won me and my partner over…read more We really haven't stopped daydreaming about our experience ever since and are looking forward to our next spa date. We had such a pleasant encounter with the receptionist, Nicole, from the moment we walked in and were placed with 2 masseuses who were top-tier and gifted with the art of touch. Our couples massage was beyond rejuvenating and serene for each of us and we were truly able to decompress (and leave a lot of muscle knots behind on the table)! We both left feeling SO much lighter, connected within our bodies and to each other, and grateful we accepted the offer to give Unwind another chance. I am so impressed with the level of intention and care that the owner, Antonio, has displayed in making sure that we were in the absolute best hands the second time around. He was very apologetic that we had an off day on our first visit and really turned things a total 180. It's evident that he is passionate about his business, is extremely detail-oriented (the decor is GORGEOUS!), and has strived to exceed the 5-star reputation his establishment deserves. In a world where self-care tends to be an afterthought or a treat, I'm feeling inspired to carve out time to visit Unwind Wellness on a regular basis. I'm so glad I found the right match (and might have to gatekeep my masseuse's name because she is THAT good)!

Wendy Taylor was recommended to me by a friend. I sought her help after months of Physical Therapy…read morehad failed to alleviate the symptoms from a bulging disc in my lower back. 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.

Oh my goodness! Where do I even begin? I would give Wendy a million stars if I could!…read more I reached out to Wendy during a very trying time of extreme stress, anxiety and mental struggle, and I am so glad I did. 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 had an absolutely incredible experience learning Reiki with Dante Carroll (PharmDHealer). On the…read morefirst day, we went deeply into the history of Reiki and the meaning behind the attunements, which gave me such a strong foundation and appreciation for the practice. The energy in the room was powerful from the very beginning, and I could truly feel the spiritual intensity of the work we were doing. The space itself was clean, cozy, relaxing, and created the perfect environment for healing and learning. Dante was professional, organized, and extremely thorough throughout the entire experience, which immediately made me feel comfortable and confident in his instruction. On the second day, we focused extensively on hand placements, techniques, and how to work with others through energy healing, along with additional attunements and practical skills. Dante explained everything in a way that was easy to understand while still being incredibly detailed and insightful. What stood out to me the most was how caring and supportive he was as an instructor -- I felt completely safe, respected, and encouraged every step of the way. His knowledge, compassion, and dedication to his students truly make him an amazing teacher and healer. I'm beyond grateful for this experience and will absolutely continue my Reiki education with him and return for future adjustments and healing sessions.

They offer a wide variety of services, and they have a facility that is equipped to do so (Example: infrared sauna). I have experienced years of back and neck pain, and Tania Burgos is by far the best myofascial massage therapist I have experienced. From her calming presence to her guided breath-work to her caring check-ins to the warm neck support pillow she provides, her thoughtfulness and attentiveness are unmatched. It's evident she cares about "the whole person." I experienced each movement as intentional, deliberate, and restorative. And somehow even with a massage lasting 90 minutes, her energy is sustained such that the last touch feels just as relieving as the first. Tania's healing care provides increased mobility and longer lasting relief. I'm already looking forward to my next visit! I know I'll be in very skilled, rejuvenating hands.

Not going to lie, the outside is a bit weird as you have to ring a doorbell and then walk up some steps. BUT...once inside, it is a little heavily oasis full of all the aromas and vibes of a calm-me-down. My massage therapist brought me back and I told him why I was there and that I hadn't had a massage before. I also disclosed I really don't like being touched and am nervous about this. He was respectful and kind and honored my privacy as I got ready. Then he applied the perfect amount of pressure to exactly the right places to ease my back tension, asking throughout if it was okay and not too painful. Overall, this might have been my first, but it def won't be my last massage! Highly recommend this place!

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 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.

Unfortunately I feel obligated to share that I had a bad experience at Eye Street Massage.

I don't think this specific issue can happen again, but I do feel obliged to say that it did happen, only because I wish someone might have warned me. I'm sure there are bad apples anywhere you may go, but please heed my warning and speak up QUICKLY if something feels wrong.

From the moment I walked into her office, I felt a deep sense of calm and a rush of emotions surfacing that I wasn't expecting. Her intuitive approach to bodywork is remarkable; she seemed to know exactly what my body needed, asking the most insightful questions. I'm very particular about bodywork (I've regularly gotten Thai massage and rolfing) and Karleigh's combination of deep tissue massage, cupping, and other techniques provided an incredibly holistic and effective experience. I felt completely safe and cared for in her space, which allowed me to fully relax and receive the benefits of her work. My sessions and releases with Karleigh have beautifully complemented the trauma recovery work I do with my mental health therapist. Even my therapist has noticed a significant positive impact in my sessions, reflecting just how powerful Karleigh's work has been for me. If you're on the fence about booking, try her 30-minute intro. I guarantee you'll be hooked!

I had no idea what Akashic Records was (truth be told, I only read the first half of the Finding Your Calling headline) but now that I know, I'm definitely spreading the word! Alice acted as a host and introduced us to the medium who would be guiding us through our Akashic Record journey. We had a small group of strangers that ended laughing, crying, and exchanging numbers at the end of the night. The questions we asked were based on things we had submitted as a whole but we were also able to received personalized messages as well. One of the messages I received was so clear that it sent me on a trip literally a few weeks before quarantine began and life as we know it has changed. I'm thankful to Alice for opening my eyes to the mystical and making it really easy to understand. During COVID times she does virtual sound bath meditation classes that will relax you and help you get the best sleep of your life. She also has a very reasonable monthly membership through Patreon which gives you access to workbooks, classes, and other special items to help you get to know yourself a bit better. I highly recommend checking her out!
