Thus, decided to do body waxing for the first time in my life. From where I grew up, I was taught to bear the pain, beiiing a man. I stood up telling myself that I can do it.

The whole process of body waxing somehow, managed to enlighten me. Feeling of chilly weather and a jelly warm with soothing music on the background! My overall experience here was amazing. I did feel like a completely new person. Customer service was appreciative. Made me feel like at home.

Ashi is extraordinary!…read more On my first visit to Sarvata Ayurveda, I wasn't sure what I wanted or needed, but deep relaxation was my goal.

This is a great service in our community. Darlene is professional and deeply caring. She explains…read morethe process very well and is kind, gentle and encouraging. Her studio is quiet, calming and spotlessly clean. The equipment she uses is top of the line and the entire process is comfortable and soothing. Darlene is a true healer, she tunes in to what her clients needs are, both physically and emotionally. A doctor at the hospital sent me home with a completely impacted and blocked colon, advising me to take more laxatives. I was in acute distress for two more days, unable to eat, drink, or eliminate. Darlene truly saved my life and helped me more than I can say. I'm very grateful.

I have had over 20 colonics with her now over the course of 4 years, including a 10-day program that included an herbal cleansing kit and a suggested liver flush. All I can say is, WOW! And, thank god I did it! Not only did I see stuff I knew was not good to have inside of me, but her support, education and her wisdom really helped me tie whole-body health together. She really helped me be at ease with myself throughout the process, without any pushiness or overdoing. She held the space and really coached me along the way to better health. I recommend this to anyone who wants to really see and feel a difference in their health, regardless of whatever else is going on. I know that during my detoxing efforts, it was the colon hydrotherapy that took away the headaches, nausea, fatigue when my body needed it most. I WOULD NEVER do a cleanse without this kind of work. A 15-day fast couldn't of happened so smoothly without her help and guidance. I recommend this to anyone, since everyone has stuck stuff in the colon from years of dietary choices and/or stress that makes the colon hold on to crummy junk! When you start to clear out the junk, you really become aware of what is causing a lot of health problems and depleting your vitality. I really do believe Darlene is right about "the colon being the root cause or a main contributor to all health problems"... I keep verifying that for myself in my own body... so should anyone else :) THANK YOU, THANK YOU, DARLENE!

From the moment I walked in to the moment I left, I felt so lovingly cared for.

It's been about five years since I attended spirit winds and I still can't get the dog shit taste…read moreout of my mouth. I waited years to be financially stable enough to attend. Choosing to go to this school instead of Thailand because my medical dependency on marijuana. First I had a neck problem and I'm the taller person in the class, my room was upstairs where there was about 4 foot high ceilings so I had to get dressed sitting down because I physically could not stand in my room. The room had a small deck with a chair. I assumed it would be ok to use this deck to take my medication on, I was very wrong. I am dyslexic and the handbook was a little confusing mostly because of the invented vocabulary PPI, PPM, or whatever palm pressure............I and another gal with the same disability felt like we were second class citizens. The morning stretches in the blinding hot sun, no thanks. Must always keep your head lower than a statue in the living room. This statue is about waist high. No sitting comfortably on the ground with your legs cross cross, you must sit on your bent legs crimping your knees in pain. If you pay to sleep outside and there's a storm your expected to stay outside. Me and the other girls lied to the teacher about letting another student sleep on the living room floor. During same storm a gal who did not pay for the herbal classes was asked to leave the property for the two days. She was from out of the country and had to ask to borrow another students car. She had nowhere to go and almost got in a car accident because the storm was so awful. Two days before the class was over the teacher asked to talk to me outside with a time of an angry mother. She had gone in my room and seen my medication. I was asked not to smoke in the home, of course I agree. I was asked to smoke off the property, I reluctantly agree. Then I'm told I can't smoke during class. A class the is all day long!!!!!!!! I use my medication to manage my stomach, I cannot function without it. I got up from out talk a little enraged and aggressively packed my car. The teacher followed me almost the entire time. It almost felt like I wasn't allowed to leave. I accidentally swiped a book of the schools when I left and felt bad about how I departed. I bought another book "the prophet" and purchased some tea and insence as a gift and sent it to the school with zero response from Janice, the teacher. I would like my credit hours registered with the state, that never happened nor was I never given a refund. I feel like I was discriminated against for being stupid and having a hiatle hernia. I've spoken with numerous students from this school. A lot of people like this class, a few people feel exactly the same as I.

Her massage was truly something special. I've had Thai massages in Thailand and receive massages regularly, but this was on a different level than what I have experienced. The day I got my massage, I woke up in a lot of pain, to the point that I took an Epsom salt bath early in the morning and applied at least 4 Salonpas patches on my most painful muscles. The massage I got relieved all of the pain I was feeling, and totally changed my energy. I don't know another way to say it except that. My body kept tingling during the massage. I don't have adequate vocabulary to describe it, but this is a massage you must experience yourself. Incredible!

Vela offers numerous services, including two types of saunas, which can be used as a standalone or add-on feature. The vibe was light and comfortable, the staff were very friendly and attentive. Even the clients were friendly and eager to recommend the services while I waited. I was pleased with both services. The only thing that keeps me from awarding five stars is the need to go up and down stairs to the treatment rooms. As someone with osteoporosis stairs can be a challenge and took some of the relaxation out of my experience. Nonetheless, I would definitely recommend Vela.
