    I was given a gift certificate for a massage and was unfamiliar with Metta Wellness Center and also…read morea bit apprehensive about the parking situation but then I learned that a massage therapist I saw 15 years ago works here and I was suddenly very excited. It was easy to book online with Jenny and also find parking in the neighborhood when I arrived. The check in process was a bit confusing but once I found my text confirmation with the front door code it all made sense. This is a coop and each therapist handles their own clients/appointments. Jenny was ready on time and gave me an incredibly relaxing massage with lavender oils and hot stones. I actually dozed off so that tells you it was wonderful. What a great experience here. The rates are reasonable and the house is incredibly cozy!

    My partner and I recently celebrated our anniversary and wanted to treat ourselves to a couple's…read moremassage. He had never had a massage before so I was super excited to see how he might like the experience. We tried contacting several spas and massage providers who either didn't have the availability or didn't respond back. Finally, I texted Metta on the number listed on their website and they responded within a few hours. We were able to schedule sessions for the time and day we wanted via text which was very convenient. My masseuse called out sick the day of so I was paired with Forest. My boyfriend was paired with Tav. Both providers were friendly and accomodating. My boyfriend LOVED his massage with Tav. He said he dozed off a few times and could see himself coming back every month - such a great sign for someone new to massage. I enjoyed my session with Forest as well and left feeling relaxed. A few things to note: they don't provide couples massages but instead do tandem massages. Meaning, you're in different rooms. This wasn't a dealbreaker for us but could be for others depending on your preference. They also still require masks here. We brought our own surgical masks but were asked to use their K95 masks they provided. This was a little uncomfortable during the service, especially while facing down, but I can understand the need if they have a lot of immunocompromised clients or staff members.

    One of the best places I have ever been to. I think the problem with the huge differences in…read moreratings is between those who were in the Trauma Disorders Program like me and then all the terrible reviews come from people who were not. I was treated like family here. I felt so comfortable, talking to my therapist 3x a week and my psychiatrist every day. Everyone on this unit had DID except for me but I was never made to feel left out or different, and the treatment was never geared away from me. I made good friends and felt like I was finally understood. Another thing I noticed, if you go somewhere like here you obviously have to be ready to do some work. There were times when I considered my psychiatrist to be the biggest jerk in the world, when I hated the food (other times when I loved it) when I felt like I was being pushed or the staff was being mean (they weren't , they are mental health professionals and know what's good for you). They would wake me up in the morning by yelling at me and I wish someone would have kicked my bed! It's a mental hospital not a vacation. The staff was so good there I felt like I could talk to any of them easily. The only bad thing was that we had just moved floors and we didn't have any art therapy or physical exercise to speak of. Just two medium length hallways to walk up and down which got old really quick. Unfortunately when I got home I had another really bad round of depression hit so I will be going back soon. This time I'm looking forward to it. The Trauma Unit saves lives. I would recommend it to anyone struggling.

    You will not leave unchanged, if you leave at all. Read the…read morewhole thing as I will go into detail more. I am still haunted by this place and it has been over a decade. I was sent at 15. I am leaning towards 28 now. I can't remember a lot of my life anymore, but I remember here. The brain remembers trauma to try and make sure you don't get stuck in it again. I will recall the name "Sheppard Pratt" until my body has turned into bone in the ground. It has made me unable to go anywhere for help in fear I will end up back in a place like this again. This has impacted my abilities to get help for the rest of my life. I genuinely was misdiagnosed and sent here, and it almost killed me. I have still not fully recovered and have haunted memories. They will LIE to you. LIE to the parents. They told my parents I would die if they did not check me in, lied to them about conditions, capabilities, and truly is a hell on earth. They don't mention you must request 72 hours in advance to try and get your kid back, by the way, and will lie to get someone admitted and exaggerate their well-being or lack of to scare someone into signing away their child's soul in the name of salvation. They informed my parents that they could handle my panic attacks, nope, they won't do anything. The staff may even make fun of you depending on who it is. They are not equipped to handle emotions and it feels like you're in the Stamford Prison Experiment. You are no longer human. You are something less than. Do you like needles? You have a fear of them, you say? Don't worry, you will have your blood drawn every day! Don't worry, you aren't allowed to stand. Research said refeeding syndrome can happen, for a few weeks, but you're not allowed to move ever. Also it only happens to genuine starved anorexics, but now you are that, plus all the other ED's because they treat you like you are guilty of every crime there! Innocent? NO YOU ARE NOT! Why? BECAUSE WE SAY SO! Get ready to be the toys in Toy Story and lie lifeless on the floor with the light gone from your eyes! That happens to people that are there longer. You will be deprived, ignored, punished, embarrassingly lead around in a paper gown naked and rushed to a two-few minute shower and led to where you are all weighed every single day. I saw a new hire nurse hold back tears over how we were all being treated. Ready yourself for speed eating because they will make you cram your food in faster since 30 minutes starts whether you got your food with then minutes left to until it's over, you'll be threatened with ensure. Yes it WILL be ice cold even if it's a warm meal! But eat it because they're watching. Always watching. Want to mention the food? Even to people at your table? TROUBLE! BAD! YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO TALK ABOUT FOOD! How will this impact you positively? HAH, no it won't. You may need therapy to get over it and will forever hate people observing you while you eat. Why? Because before it came with threats! No one wants the tube up their nose! They will get the tube. I have shared my experience there with people who have been in prison and they rather pick prison. They will take everything you could ever think about harming yourself with so much that it taught me a ton of ways I could off myself- which said feeling will come for you if you're in there. Once you are out of the spot they show parents in, you'll notice that all doors and windows are unable to be opened because of how many suicide attempts they get in there. Death did seem sweeter than being there. A part of me lives there as a ghost. I didn't come out with all of myself. I have gone through a lot of traumatizing things, but would sooner hold the dying and bloody again while and do my own stitches again 200 times before going back there, unless I was going with a torch or a bulldozer. That was the worst decision I ever trusted anyone on in my young life. I rather run into my rapist than go back to that Hell Hotspot. I mean it. This was more damaging and humiliating. Don't trust them. I filled a document with 41 pages of their reviews before I decided to stop. All 1 star.
