Acupuncture review from a year or two ago - I went with a specific physical issue and a vestibular issue in mind but I did not leave fully feeling like my session pinpointed the needs I communicated. I was also pretty anxious about acupuncture (I had only done it in a very small way previously) and that was not treated with the care I was hoping for. I almost had a panic attack on the table when left alone. I left disappointed and slightly disregarded. The initial practitioner I had scheduled with canceled and they swapped her with Chelsea last minute. She was personable. But I had chosen my initial practitioner purposefully, and it has left me wondering how that session might have gone. Unfortunately I will never go back. I found the front desk email communication about insurance clear and easy to understand. read more

I have had many massages in my life, but the one I had today with Capri was out-of-this-world! He took time to understand what I needed and not only gave me the very best massage, but gave me exercises I could do to keep my body more aligned. I will be back over and over again to see Capri! read more

Rose was absolutely incredible. I've had many massages and this was the best massage I've had in years!

Mariya is a wizard! I didn't communicate any specific needs or wishes, but the massage that she gave me was exactly what I needed. Very nice facility too. Highly recommend! read more

Slope wellness is a beautiful place They all are so friendly and warm they make you feel. Very comfortable . I would recommend them anytime any day . Beautiful! Very professional and pleasant. Thank you . . read more

A real hidden treasure in south slope. My masseuse, Capri, was exceptional. Very friendly and respectful and great at his craft. Greatly recommend Capri for anyone with hard to clear knots! read more

Great massage with Steph!I came out of there totally relaxed n refreshed!Hope to be back soon.

I had a wonderful experience with accupuncture here. I came in with new shoulder/ arm pain. I may have herniated a cervical disc the day before- still having a workup. The accupuncture treatment relieved my pain significantly. I am so grateful. read more

What can I say?! The place speaks for itself. Very friendly staff. Very clean and peaceful environment. Rose is FANTASTIC. This is my second time with her. As soon as you get into the room you start to feel the relaxation washing over you. Her massage was great from beginning to end! 10/10 would recommend and will be coming back of course! read more

I got an amazing lymphatic brush treatment from Maro and it made my body feel so good! It made me so relaxed and really helped with stubborn pain I've had in my shoulders. Maro's a miracle worker! I regularly get facials from Maro as well and she's a miracle worker with skin -- she takes all your needs into account and delivers the perfect experience. I have very sensitive, easily irritated skin and I've never had any reactions from the products they have at Slope Wellness. Everything is natural and my skin always looks rejuvenated and glowy for days after the facial -- I always get compliments. That's the Maro effect! read more

Came here for an asap massage for a painful neck/shoulder injury. The space is clean, spacious, and comfortable. Large for NYC, too. Convenient and right off the F train. Staff is kind and helpful. Would recommend. read more

I have been doing acupuncture here for the last two months, and I have had a great experience! First of all, I would like to point out and recommend to you, Dr. Zhentao Wu; he is amazing, he is very professional, caring, and he always takes the time to listen what's going on and how he can help! Most importantly I see the drastic difference between the first treatment and the 10th treatment that I have done. I feel much better, a way more energy, and overall state of mind is great! Also the receptionist is great, she gives the whole vibe to the clinic! She is always friendly and very professional! And, everything inside is immaculately clean! The one and only downside of the clinic is the noise while you are doing the treatment. It has to do with very thin walls. read more

I did a 60 min custom tailored massage with Zurab in preparation for a half marathon. The man is a miracle worker. My muscles feel like new, elastic. Strongly recommend. Slope wellness was also very clean and tidy, and the lady at the front desk was very friendly read more

I've been coming to slope wellness for a while now for massages but I had my first appointment with Mariya she was incredible!!! So nice and made me feel so so comfortable and welcome and followed up with such an amazing massage. Overall 10/10 for the environment she creates! read more

Maro is magic! I highly recommend her 75 minute gua sha facial, don't sleep on her holistic healing approach. Not only does she have an incredible story, her love of her work and exceptional talent are very evident. Each session, she listens to your needs and assesses your skin and includes personalized touches to your facial. From dryness to tightness (ahem, stress) to fine lines and sun damage, each session Maro has specifically targeted and supported what my skin needs that day and I always leave glowing and very relaxed. The before and after change to your face is surprisingly apparent! ALLERGIES: I recently visited Maro with horrible seasonal allergies from all the pollen in the air. Maro added in reflexology and buccal massage to my gua sha, and completed drained my sinuses! I felt better than I had in days, her treatment did more for my allergies than any OTC antihistamine has. I'm truly in awe of her abilities and holistic knowledge, it's been a few days now and I still have zero allergy symptoms. She did all of this as part of my standard facial, she is NOT upselling or upcharging you. Maro and Slope Wellness are so legit, they are not trying to sell you products or add on service charges, they truly care about their clients health and well being and I cannot recommend this enough. read more

Capri is the MOST AMAZING MASSAGE THERAPIST!! He listens to exactly where I'm feeling pain and talks me through how he's helping release tension, etc. Such an amazing guy and a skilled professional read more

I had a sensational massage with Rose. Probably the best I've ever had. She was very kind and accommodating and made me feel totally comfortable. The staff and location are great -- very convenient, clean, and polite. Would absolutely come back. read more

Highly recommend! Chelsea is a terrific acupuncturist. I had never gone to acupuncture before and was a little nervous but it's virtually pain free and helps so much. read more

I've been getting massages regularly for a number of years. I have never been inclined to write a review before. Tonight I saw Taylor for a 60 min massage. I wish I could describe to you how wonderful this was, but I don't think it would do it justice. To attempt: I have been under a tremendous amount of stress coupled with a lot of physical lifting and tasks. This massage with Taylor was the first time I have felt relief from the pain and actually relaxed at the same time. Don't ask me how it's possible- I myself will be booking appointments regularly to try and figure it out. read more

I am 8 months pregnant and I have so much muscle ache and discomfort that I couldn't sleep for weeks. My husband bought me several massage sessions at different spas. They were all nice, but not therapeutic. I had my first prenatal massage with Mariya today and it was the BEST massage I have ever received. Her pressure was nice and deep and mostly, her technique was spot on. She targeted EXACTLY the spots that hurt and worked on the muscles perfectly. I left feeling like jelly. I floated all the way home. My husband noticed right away when I got home that I walked straighter and looked very relaxed. I am so excited to find Mariya I can't wait to go back. I am buying the 6 month package so I can come back a few more times before the baby arrives and also after the delivery. Update: I woke up the next day and for the first time in weeks, I didn't need help getting out of bed. My entire body felt so loose and amazing! read more

My partner and I have both been seeing Capri Miner for a while now, and agree that he is our absolute favorite massage therapist. He is so knowledgeable and thoughtful in his approach, and offers techniques to practice at home to reinforce the effects of the work he does on the massage table. I saw him today for my chronic shoulder issues and left a new person. He is a miracle worker! read more

I have seen Capri Miner on and off here for years and he is the best massage therapist I've ever had. I don't know how he makes an hour massage feel like 2 hours or more. He always finds the spots that needs work and knows exactly what to do. He tailors many different techniques to my needs, making each treatment unique. He is such a wealth of knowledge and such a pleasure! He is a real gem. Like others, I cannot recommend more highly. read more

Thank you Slope Wellness and in particular my acupuncturist, Jules. I was in agony from back spasms and constant pain for several weeks and came here before a trip to Austin because I knew I couldn't deal with the pain on a plane. I first saw Luke, who gave me a treatment that helped a lot. When I came back, I had a setback that had me on the floor, immobile from pain. I called and was given an appointment with Jules, who I just loved. In addition to the acupuncture, she gave me some Chinese herbal remedies that also helped. Two treatments later, I was pain free and the problem has not returned. Another plus for Slope Wellness is they give a discount for patients like me whose insurance doesn't cover acupuncture. They also have an option for community acupuncture, which is considerably cheaper than private treatments. I did community twice and both times I was the only person being treated (although it was during daytime hours on a weekday). read more

I was gifted a massage here (90-minute with Capri) and left highly relaxed and more informed about my body and some simple tips/movements to keep in mind. I will absolutely return and purchase this and other services. read more

I've always had a wonderful experience here but my massage with Capri Miller was otherworldly. He was so knowledgeable and personable, I cannot recommend his services more highly. read more

Words cannot convey how thankful I am for this place that have made me feel not only at home but a haven from not feeling my best through different health situations. I've primarily tried acupuncture (they take some insurance) and have mostly gone with the amazing Chelsea, but also found Jeff, the owner I believe to be extremely knowledgable and insightful in his resources for the client's situation. So thankful for this haven. By the way, I've tried a quick massage once with Taylor, and I was absolutely floored by how skilled they were. Slope Wellness is exceptional. read more

I cannot say enough good things about Slope Wellness. The first couple of times I made appointments for massages they were kind of last minute so I took whoever I could take in whatever time slot was available. Usually you will get a least one person who gives a meh massage in a place like this. I have had a great experience with everyone I have worked with. For my last two appointments I was proactive and got appointments with Kelsey for both. She has been amazing. She worked all the areas of concern and gave me really good advice for managing some long term problems I have. If I wasn't leaving the area I would continue to go back and work with her. You won't regret booking her. Very pleasant facility and staff! read more

My first experience with acupuncture was at Slope Wellness and they have helped so much with my chronic eye twitch. I have had 2 sessions already and the consistency of the twitch has gone way down, which is such a relief to me. I'd highly recommend them if you live in Park Slope read more

Best massage I've ever had (and I've lived in NYC for 15 years)! Capri Miner is a miracle worker. One of those massages where you feel better for weeks afterwards. He also works in a physical therapist's office so is incredibly knowledgable about how interconnected the body is and works out all your knots and pressure points to give you the most amount of relief post massage. He also sends you home with suggestions on how to maintain the results for longer, i.e. stretching, not crossing your legs, TMJ exercises, etc. He truly has a gift! The staff are polite and easy to book with, and location is great -- no frills but incredibly clean and COVID safe. Also super convenient (block from the F/G train at 7th Ave). Do yourself a favor and go see Capri! read more

I've used 2 of their massage therapists and received a great massage each time. The business is well-run and a pleasure to patronize.

First impressions mean everything to me. When I called for an appt., Reception was kind and polite, and made the booking process quick and simple. On arrival, there is a small seating area to remove and store shoes. Reception also offers slippers if you prefer. Before my session; Kelsey went over a brief medical history with me and asked about injuries and areas I felt might need more attention. This made me feel very comfortable and trusting-- because sometimes therapists just flip you over and start jamming their fingers into your back with no mercy. Everything is calming, clean and smells good. Slope Wellness has a vast variety of natural/healing products for sale such as oils, soaps, candles and non-toxic nail polishes. I think it's also cool that they offer massage packages/bundles to ease the costs of incorporating massage into your life as an on-going wellness ritual :) I will definitely return. read more

I've received two massages at this place. I thought coming to a more "professional" seeming massage therapy spot would result in a more comprehensive and targeted experience, however I ended up paying double what I would pay at one of those walk-in Chinese massage places and left feeling like I wasted my money for a sub-par experience. First time I came here the therapist I saw was a petite woman didn't seem capable of giving the deep pressure I wanted and her hands were uncomfortably boney. She gave me lots of recommendations for opening up my hip flexor, which is what she thought was at the root of my pain. I think she went above and beyond to help and had great knowledge of the body and how to tackle my issue by giving me suggestions with exercises and roller ball therapies. Despite not loving the massage I was grateful for the expert knowledge. Second time I came the the therapist was sniffing the entire time and clearing her throat constantly like she had a bad cold (it was winter time so I don't think it was allergies) which was stressful because I did not want to get sick. I specifically asked for deep tissue pressure, again, and kept having to ask her to apply more pressure which she could not keep up and it would slip into more of a light Swedish massage when I really needed deep tissue. She also completely failed to address the areas I specifically asked her to concentrate on. I couldn't believe they'd allow someone so visible under the weather to handle clients at a "wellness" place. Both experiences made me question why i would want to pay double what I usually pay when I felt the experience was not worth it. The rooms are very clinical and sterile feeling like a doctored office and not like a spa, and while I appreciate cleanliness I also would like a little mood lighting and ambiance. There was no sign to take my shoes off at the front door and the therapist almost reprimanded me for not doing so. The front desk was disorganized and didn't know how to apply a promotion to my appointment saying the manager was out of the office and they didn't know what to do, but after a bunch of back and forth and phone calls, 10 mins of waiting to check out, it was finally figured out. All in all, two times a sub-par experience so I don't think I'll be back for a massage here. read more

This place rocks and Jules rocks even more. Finding this relaxation haven was easy peasy. It's closer to 9th Street than 8th Street but the F or G to 7th Avenue will get you there with just a little walking. You automatically feel relaxed when you enter this place. The beginners (like myself) wouldn't know to remove their shoes so I was told to do it as I came in (socks can stay on). Your outerwear belongs in a closet which is to your left from the receptionist desk. I had to fill out some intake paperwork which was a bit extensive but required. The receptionist was the sweetest; I can't remember her name but she was just the nicest and had a calm spirit. She also checked to see if my insurance would cover acupuncture (which I knew it doesn't, lol). I did receive an official email that it doesn't but I appreciated the staff making the attempt. In lieu of no insurance coverage, they may offer some discounts so inquire when you visit. I also observed that they do sell products which was displayed in the waiting room (maybe herbal but I definitely noticed skin and hair products though). I can't remember the name but as soon as I find out, I will update my review. Jules came out and got me right away. I loved her upbeat energy! She was also a natural comedian. Her humorous energy was contagious; she had me laughing for the whole time. They (meaning the general public and Google.com) say "laughter is the best medicine" and I must admit the energy was so positive in the room that I was completely relaxed before the acupuncture session. Jules was also accommodating and made sure I was comfortable as well (i.e giving me an extra pillow, etc). I purchased the community acupuncture session which was a steal compared to the solo version; but I would definitely try the private session in the future. The community acupuncture consist of three beds divided by thick curtains so it's still semi-private. So, I already made my second community acupuncture with Jules later this month. Acupuncture is definitely something that will become part of my routine as I see it very beneficial to my health. Slope Wellness is definitely worth the visit. I'm very thrilled that I decided to give this place a chance. I will totally be a regular. read more

So convenient - it is located right outside the F,G train stop. Acupuncture sessions can be expensive and I like that they do community sessions here Monday to Friday. Community sessions are $55 and it is in a room with 3 beds. When I went, there was nobody else there and my acupuncturist told me that is how it usually is. Someone came in on the tail end of my session but it was not a bother at all. They offer tea in the waiting room and the receptionist was so nice. read more

I walked in tired, cold and all stove up. This place worked it's magic! I had a gift very from daughter and enjoyed my 90-minute massage thoroughly. Very professional and serene. A wonderful experience! read more

I can't believe I've passed this place twice a day or more for years and never gave it a try until today! I had an hour massage with Capri and he listened to my issue and gave me a most excellent massage. Really really really good! Lol. They were booked when I called but called me back because someone cancelled their apt. My lucky day! I will definitely go back and ask For Capri. read more

I found Slope Wellness on Yelp. They had excellent reviews. I was looking for an acupuncturist. I made an appointment & seen Lukas. I had a great experience. They are very clean & kept strict Covid protocols. I went twice but unfortunately I need to have surgery. Hoping to go back after I heal to help manage the pain. read more

Maybe the best massage I've ever had. It also has amiable staff (but not obnoxiously so) and a tastefully designed interior.

I've had nothing but great experiences at Slope Wellness. From Kelsey at the front desk, who is so warm and helpful, to Lukas, who has shown me that acupuncture doesn't have to be aggressive to be effective, to Mariya, who gave me my first massage and it was perfection. I'm dealing with some lower back pain and shoulders that are cinder blocks, thanks to years of built up tension. I must gush for a minute about the 30-minute massage I got from Mariya... I'm one of those sensitive people that cannot take a deep massage. I was worried that I would never be able to work out the knots in my shoulders if I did not endure the pain of a deep massage. Not true, as Mariya has shown me. She's an expert in getting to the root of the issue, but with the exact amount of pressure and not hurting me. Perfection! read more

This place is such a gem. My massage therapist is one of the best all time massage therapists for my pain management and the front desk is top notch. It's obvious to me it's run really well. Also everyone is nice and professional which I appreciate. read more
