I just want to say thank you to Jackie and everyone at Pulse for reaching about to us about this matter and going above and beyond to make it right. I truly and wholeheartedly believe that the team at Pulse care about what they do, and most importantly they care about the patient experience. You can feel it in the first phone, from the moment you walk in the door, the treatment you receive, and even in their response to a less than ideal visit. Overall, we were very happy with their services, their response, and their professionalism. I can't wait to make my next appointment.

Unfortunately, the quality of service has declined, and it now feels as though anyone regardless of training or skill level is allowed to provide massages. Today, I arrived 10 minutes early for my appointment but wasn't seen until 15 minutes after my scheduled time. I ended up leaving the treatment room just 12 minutes into the session. The service was completely unskilled: rushed, inconsistent, lacking rhythm, and missing the foundational techniques that define a competent, professional massage therapist. A skilled therapist uses intentional pressure, consistent/proper flow, and an understanding of muscle anatomy to create a therapeutic and cohesive experience none of which were present. Realizing the session was doing more harm than good, I made the decision to end it and leave. The front desk staff clearly knew something had gone wrong, as my early departure was obviously due to dissatisfaction. Yet I was still charged $139. Not only is that unreasonable, but deeply unprofessional. When I called for clarification, I was met with a scripted cancellation-policy explanation given by the same employee who witnessed me ending the service early and leaving the studio upset. Only after pressing for details was I told I'd need to speak with a manager. The entire interaction was dismissive, confusing, and frankly, insulting. This visit brought frustration instead of the relaxation this business is supposed to offer. And for anyone who believes the service I received, particularly from Pam, is acceptable, I can assure you they have not experienced a true massage from a trained, skilled professional.

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)!

If you're looking for massage therapists who actually do real work, this is the place. I've seen both Helen and Heajin, and they are exceptional in different but complementary ways. Helen is incredible for deep tissue, especially hip work. She goes deep, she's effective, and she is not afraid to work through tension. This is not a light, spa-style massage. It's therapeutic, intentional, and results-driven. Exactly what I want. Heajin specializes in Thai and lymphatic massage, and she is phenomenal. Thai massage is more like assisted stretching, and she incorporates it beautifully. She also took time to explain lymphatic flow, gave me tips on how to support it at home, and clearly cares about long-term wellbeing, not just the session itself. One thing to note: at Unwind, therapists may get on the table with you, especially for Thai or deep tissue work. That's part of the technique and something to be aware of if you're new to that style, but for me it speaks to how seriously they take proper body mechanics and effectiveness. The space is calm, professional, and welcoming, and the level of skill here is outstanding. If you want thoughtful, strong, therapeutic massage from practitioners who really know the body, I highly recommend Unwind.

I would wake up in the mornings with newly swollen joints. I had a hard time walking in the mornings because so many parts of my body were in pain - my feet, knees, back at one point, fingers (could no longer make a fist or open jars or hold a dumbbell), my wrists, my elbows. I would hobble in to the bathroom and take a hot shower, which helped a bit. Western medicine had no answers for me - no clear diagnosis and no clear treatment although the rheumatologist I saw tried to persuade me to do steroids and cortisone shots (after declaring that I looked like an athlete in great shape with nothing wrong with me even as I was showing him fingers that were swollen). I wasn't down for either because I was clear that neither was a cure. I remembered a naturopath I had seen maybe five or six years prior who ordered several blood tests, and after careful review, told me that I had strong markers for rheumatoid arthritis. Both my primary care physician and Dr. Amen proceeded with my treatment as if it were rheumatoid arthritis. The only official diagnosis I got was that it was an auto-immune polyarthritic condition. I learned later that auto immune conditions present differently, which might have been part of the difficulty in diagnosing. Also, by the time I saw the rheumatologist, I had already begun working with Dr. Amen. I was skeptical with Dr. Amen at first (somewhat frustrated by the initial cost of the visit), but he convinced me to stick with it, explaining that the work he does isn't like Western medicine or a pill that works right away. Plus, he said that we could effectively eliminate all or almost all of my symptoms. I was persuaded, and over my time with them, I've made a lot of choices that have helped me achieve that goal of actual healing. I sometimes have a few pains here and there (almost all in my feet and all of which disappear after a few weeks as I keep working with Wisdom Path), and I can't wear heels anymore, but I am fully mobile and don't experience the multiple joint inflammation through which I suffered when I first started with them. I also work out regularly and became vegan. Wisdom Healing Path aided in that transition with the cooking classes that Na'Amana leads. I knew how to cook, but I needed more options. That was key in my shift to veganism. It's been about five to six years that I've been vegan. I cheated the first few years but after several strange responses to eating animal products, the last straw of which was styes and cholazeans on my eyes, I accepted that animals aren't good for me to consume. All of the work I've done with Wisdom Healing Path has fixed or significantly diminished several physical ailments I was suffering, in addition to the rheumatoid arthritis - a persistent pain in my side, eczema, hot flashes, IBS, migraine headaches, and eventually the cholazeans on my eyes. I highly recommend Wisdom Path Healing Center. On one of my early visits, Dr. Amen said something to me to the effect of, "We can cure this. If you get rid of more than 95% of symptoms, I don't know what a cure is." In my time with him, we have gotten rid of probably 99% of the arthritis and 100% of the migraines, side pains, IBS, and eczema. I now see the cost as an investment in myself. It's worth it. My only image of rheumatoid arthritis was a cousin who was wheelchair bound for all of her adult life since her early 20s. I wasn't prepared for that, so I was happy to work with them and to see significant changes in a relatively short period of time. It's a family business, and so I have watched the children grow, and all of the adults know me and my life. It's the best healthcare I receive.

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.

She takes the time to listen to your concerns and treats what ails you. She goes above and beyond to ensure a great experience. Today was my first day visiting. I've had acupuncture several times before so I knew what to expect, but she exceeded it. I arrived early and she was able to start working on me within a few minutes after my arrival. I sat in the waiting area for a few minutes and chatted with another patient who raved about Melinda. Now I know why. After being taken back into the waiting area, she asked me some questions about what brought me to acupuncture. Then I laid on the table, and she got to work. She chatted with me about my job and other things as she gently placed the needles on various parts of my body. Then she put a space blanket on me and put on soothing nature sounds and left me to relax for about 20-30 minutes. I instantly felt relaxed and started to feel my headache dissipate. When she returned to take out the needles, she spent time doing cupping on my knee. I had never had that done before, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I scheduled my biweekly appointment afterwards and was on my way. If you are considering acupuncture, you should go for it. It's not painful at all and the benefits outweigh the little pricks that you feel. I highly recommend Melinda at Inner Strength Acupuncture and Wellness.
