I bought a Groupon to give it ago and made an appointment really not knowing what to expect. Franchesca was so easy to talk to about things my doctors normally glaze over about and took my concerns seriously. We talked about my overall health and a condition I have and it was so easy even though I often get nervous and embarrassed to talk about it. She explained what treatment was like and that it is community acupuncture so there were two other people receiving treatment in the room. I barely felt any of the needles go in and was covered with a lightweight blanket and left to relax. I watched my thoughts swirl around and then fell into the deepest sleep you can imagine. I woke up feeling refreshed and even noticed a little spring in my step the next morning that had been missing for a while. I am definitely going to build this friendly studio into my wellness and you have a new patient!!!! Highly recommended, especially for the new-to-acupuncture.

Jennifer is PHENOMENAL…read more My initial experience (appointment) embracing the answer to REAL WELLNESS" ‍ cannot be put into words. After years of "medical treatment ‍" with countless copays, medications, surgeries, and procedures my initial visit with Jennifer just clicked. The tranquil sounds playing in the background, comfortable and cozy setting is welcoming. I like just zoned away reflecting on my visit. Jennifer can show better than I could even try to tell you how I am truly taking my body back with the guidance of South Philly Wellness. Parking available Vagaro app provides seamless booking, payment & tip as someone from the service industry respects the hustle. Money and time is spent on wants, well for me Wellness is a need and Jennifer has answered that call. This is truly the best way to enter 2024, and my next chapter. Heartfelt gratitude

This is waaaay overdue. I would give this place and Jennifer more stars if it were possible. I have…read morebeen going for a little over a year now and it's been amazing for my mental and physical health. When I come in we chat about how my body is doing and what should we work on. She also asks some leading questions to understand and this is helpful because one might not be thinking specifically about certain areas, but it comes out in conversation due to her experience and dedication to help you feel and be your best, highly, highly recommended!

I came to Serena through my mother. We both have scoliosis and Serena was recommended to me to help…read morewith my mom's chronic pain. My mother spoke so glowingly about how great she felt after her session that I was inspired to try it myself. Serena is very kind, and most importantly, incredibly skilled. If you want a turn-me-into-a-puddle type of massage, she'll do it, and do an amazing job. But her real skill is structural integration, where she actually gets in between the fibers of your muscles and attachment points (as in, all 4 heads of your quadriceps muscle) and creates separation so that you feel looser over all, for longer than you would after just a traditional massage. She really wants to help address the root cause of the discomfort, not just trying to get to the discomfort itself. It sounds weird, but she gets into where it hurts, pulls on it, and then it feels better. She's all around an amazing practitioner. I love going because I always feel so much better when I'm finished. I cannot recommend her highly enough. I'd drive 2 hours to see her, but thankfully, she's very conveniently located close to my house.

I've been seeing Grace for about a year now and I cannot recommend her enough--and in fact I HAVE…read morerecommended her to several people in my life, which is why I thought it was fair to sing my praises publicly. Booking regular massages with Grace is the best thing I've done for myself in the past year, by far. I didn't know that I could feel as good as I do after I leave the office, but it's enough to make me keep coming back on a monthly basis--sometimes even bi-weekly, depending on how my body's acting in that time. Every visit is a little different, and she really customizes my experience to suit my needs. Grace's hands are a true gift: I don't even know how she manages to find every area that needs work, but I'm ridiculously appreciative. The office itself is clean, calming, well-lit, and smells really nice--good vibes all around. I also want to note that I have two rods in my back from a spinal fusion when i was in middle school, and I was concerned about how she might work around them, but it was a non-issue and I've actually learned a lot about what's going on back there from questions she's answered for me during massages. Go! Book with Grace!

Source Body is the best-kept secret in Philly. I usually book with Ellen, however, the entire staff…read moreis on point. Ellen always begins appointments by checking in with me about what's going; any stressors, pain, problem spots, etc. We'll talk about what needs the most attention and she'll reiterate what she plans to work on so everyone is on the same page and everything that needs to be addressed is given the proper attention. I have plantar fasciitis and Ellen's massage -- it is so far beyond any place like Hand and Stone -- is the only thing that keeps the pain at bay. She has a serious gift. She'll find and fix things I didn't even realize needed help. I come out of there feeling amazing; like I've just been on a Caribbean vacation for a week. The space is clean, cozy, and instantly relaxing. I cannot recommend her enough.

Julia Taylor is a phenomenal massage therapist…read more This is no run of the mill back rub. She is a true healer. I started going to her a few years ago when I was suffering from chronic back and neck pain. Nothing seemed to help my back pain. I went to a chiropractor, accupuncture, other massage therapists, physical therapy, you name it. I would feel better for an evening or two, and then the specter would return. But the thing that finally made the muscles in my neck and back calm down, and let me live a little, was a series of massages from Julia Taylor. I went through six sessions over a couple months. Julia was able to teach my muscles, that it was going to be alright, and they could just relax, and get strong and healthy again. Now when I feel a tinge of discomfort trying to work its ways back in, I go to Julia and let her work her magic on me.

But this grad student can only afford so many massages. Over the years, I've been to, oh, probably about a dozen massage therapists. Julia is unquestionably the best I've ever been to. She's everything anyone could ever want in a massage therapist: kind, gentle-hearted, professional, intuitive. Perhaps my favorite thing about Julia is how quick she is to respond to email requests, often squeezing me in the next day. (I've emailed her more than once when I've tweaked something in my neck or back and sent her a desperate "Help! I know you're busy, but I need you!" email.) She's been able to "read" my body like no one I've ever met, and she always comes into a session knowing what we'd worked on the past few times. I've recommended her to friends, and they've all gone back to her repeatedly. Her prices are quite reasonable - $85 for a 75 minute session; $100 for 90 minutes. She also frequently runs package specials - get on her email list to find out about these. Be warned - she usually runs a little long with her sessions. It might wreak a little havoc on your schedule, but who can complain about a few extra minutes of massage? Honestly, she's good enough that, should I ever move out of Philly, I'd come back just to see her.
