As a DC native, The Still Point adds value to the Takoma community. It's the perfect place to escape from the hustle of "what do you do?"

Overall I had a decent first visit to this location. The spa is easy to find using GPS. There are a few parking spaces in the back. The front desk service is nice. There's a small shopping area to purchase trinkets, jewelry, home and body care items. For snacks there are biscoff cookies and citrus water. The sitting area is cute. The lights are dim and there is a variety of seating options. The area is decorated like a comfortable home with two sitting areas. While waiting you can hear the footsteps on the wood floors and lots of movement above. I had concerns that I would hear outside noise and the wood floors creaking during my massage but I was pleasantly surprised at how sound proof the room was. My masseuse was ok - the energy was a bit off and the massage itself was ok. I came here to try a different location due to my usual massage therapist at a different spa is on maternity leave. I may come back to this spa but ask for a different masseuse.

This was my first visit to the spa. Upon entering, the soothing aroma and calm atmosphere were immediately inviting. However, the receptionist with blonde braids was not very friendly; her welcome felt rather perfunctory, especially for a first-time visitor. Despite this, the spa offers slippers, cubbies for your belongings, and a pleasant waiting area with water, tea, nuts, and biscuits. Conrad, my therapist, provided excellent service--he was attentive, listened well, and was a pleasure to interact with. The experience was great, with reasonable prices and a selection of oils, stones, jewelry, and body products available for purchase. Overall, it was a wonderful day for relaxation and a great massage.

I went today for the first time! I received a gift certificate for my birthday and was able to finally put it to use on my off day. The services I got were the 60 min facial Jojolin & 30 min full body Massage with Ben. They both were amazing and professionals at what they do. My skin feels so smooth and refreshed. Ben definitely found all the tense areas on my body and got rid of them. Next time I will get a 60 min massage. I cant wait to return.

Admittedly, I wasn't sure what to expect when I walked in. I didn't even know exactly what I was…read morecoming in for. I just felt... Off. No physical pain to speak of, but my brain was foggy, it was hard to concentrate. I was also feeling anxious and particularly irritable... just feeling run down. Dr. Chen was gracious enough to accommodate me at the last minute. After a few minutes and some intake questions, she laid me on the table and started the treatment. I have a phobia of needles but overall it was generally painless (although I did feel a few tiny pricks here and there when she was applying the needles to my feet.) About 45 minutes later she removed the needles and the nodes that she had applied to the various parts of my body and used some kind of liniment and gua sha tool to loosen the abundant tension in my shoulders. That part was a little uncomfortable... The same way that getting a deep tissue massage might be uncomfortable. When I left I felt... Lighter. A few days later I was able to accomplish some difficult things that I had been struggling with.... That I had not been able to focus on or direct the proper attention to. Can I attribute it directly to acupuncture? I don't know. But I'd like to believe that the treatment definitely helped in I'm blocking and balancing my chi. That said, I definitely plan to return for follow-up appointments in the future. Thanks Dr. Chen.

Delighted to have found Jie Chen, OMD.. She is a fine acupuncturist in a pleasant, well-lit 5th…read moreFloor Office. Fine technique, but---- I'd like her for no other reason that---she agrees with me: acupuncture is greatly under-used. Acupuncture should be taking the country by storm. Acupuncture works. No MRI's or x-ray exposure, no pills, and no high prices, no toxic overload. Users of acupuncture can make a difference by spreading the word, tell family and co-workers of our successes with acupuncture. We need to lobby Congress to get acupuncture covered under Medicare. If your hospitalization plan doesn't cover acupuncture, nag them. Parents whose child is prescribed medication for behavior, should try acupuncture first. People with anxiety or fatigue or drug dependence would be helped with acupuncture....with the added plus that you'd know right away. Acupuncture instead of a face-lift, it tightens the skin, and is thousands of dollars cheaper. Not my condition at all, but here is a link that suggests that those with diabetes could well try acupuncture. The cost of the medication alone would suggest using acupuncture instead of expensive drugs. But---it's the buildup in the body, that I'd worry about. Acupuncture does not carry toxic buildup risk. https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/319618.php Acupuncture assists the body to get back on track. The body heals itself. Ever heard a doctor or pharmacist say that? We who have been helped by acupuncture need to spread the word. Finding the skilled Dr. Chen in her nicely appointed elevator building office, has been a delight.

My lower back has been my Achilles Heal for over 25 years & aside from all the proactive measures I take, Acupuncture has quietly stayed in the back of my head. I've participated in Physical Therapy, Acupressure, Reflexology, Yoga, Swimming & such...only a temporary relief while in motion. My initial visit was such an enlightening & liberating experience for me & my multi ailments. Marie not only exudes a qualified, calming & gifted approach with her seasoned techniques, she will school you from A-Z concisely yet expeditiously in this amazing component of traditional Chinese medicine. Her healing perspective in conjunction with this form of alternative medicine was a internal blowing of my mind, body & spirit. The thin needles were darn near touch-less & barely noticeable as she studied the numerous acupuncture points before inserting them into my specific body parts. For me, I walked away with less discomfort from the chronic aspect & it became more evident/effective later in the day & evening. Per design, everyone's make up is unique...as for me, this was better accommodating & cost efficient to the standard care & reiteration of "you should have back surgery" - NEGATIVE. Marie's extensive training & methodical/chakra familiarity approach enhanced my sense of wellbeing 10 fold. It also awaken the yearning I have for my vitality to evolve through this inner cultivation of holistic learning & treatment-POSITIVE. Crossings is absolutely "A Center For Healing".

From seeing acupuncture on TV, I was expecting to have like 50 pins put in my back and then left to sleep. A typical experience is maybe 8-10 different pins, some in and out points, some that are left to sit for awhile. Tessler is great to talk to and she stays with her clients the whole session. Each treatment is tailored to what I'm dealing with that week, so each time it's a little different. She doesn't like to leave her clients in that zombie, groggy feeling (I always feel this way after massages), and I appreciate that I always leave feeling more relaxed but I can still do things after treatment. Tessler's Dupont location is super convenient to my office and she has evening and Saturday hours. She only sees one patient at a time, and the office is small but cozy. Best of all, she takes insurance. If you are thinking about trying out acupuncture and want a very personalized approach, Tessler is awesome.

What a treasure to be found in downtown Silver Spring. Healing Support's Kevin M. is a superb…read moreacupuncturist, thorough and caring, well -versed in this healing protocol. With just one session, I had relief from intense pain following a broken leg bone, ten weeks before, debilitating pain. Anyone with chronic pain should try acupuncture for its immediate and long lasting relief. Acupuncture technique works with the body, not against it, the healing can begin. You'll know for yourself with the first treatment. A newcomer to acupuncture will do well here. Kevin takes a full history, the answering of the questions is itself a healing process. Pain is there for a reason, your body is telling you something. As surely as it has gotten you into a knot, the knot can be undone. Methodically, acupuncture creates focus which allows for relaxation. The placement of the needles sends healing energy throughout the body, it's nothing short of incredible how well the body responds. Many times a person will cringe at the sound of the word needles. The needles are small, you'll barely feel it. The effect of the placement sends warm healing energy that un-knots the disturbance. The healing can begin. The location of Healing Support is excellent, a few walkable blocks from SS metro, it's down the street from Tastee Diner on Cameron, public parking lot, but there's usually something on the street. It's an elevator building, totally easy access. The cost is equivalent to what a doctors appointment would be. With luck, acupuncture is covered by your medical insurance, but if it's not, demand that they cover it. This is what we can do as consumers....bug the insurance companies to cover acupuncture which is far and away the better protocol for pain. As we increase our knowledge about acupuncture, we can demand change--acupuncture should be available to all. It's not yet covered by Medicare---change that. If Medicare covers drugs, surely Medicare should cover a helpful, harmless, effective treatment.

OK, Kevin at Acumedicine is the best!!! I have had many health issues throughout the years and had…read morenever tried acupuncture but boy am I glad I did. I had chronic headaches and they are gone! I also get a terrible upper respiratory cough every year for nine years, bam-gone! I so regret not knowing about this before because it has changed my life.
