I've had two massages by Roxanne. Most recently my main concern was a tight and painful neck I've…read morebeen struggling with for months. She worked on it with a combination of hot stones, her hands and other tools - tuning forks, different bells that are new to me - and for the first time in ages it is pain free and I have full range of motion back. If you're used to "traditional" Swedish or other massages, some of what Roxanne does will be unfamiliar and seem a bit strange. If you can trust that she knows what she's doing (which she does) and experience it, at the very least you will have tried something new but likely, you will feel the benefit. If you don't want those things however - just tell her! She listens well and constantly seeks education on new techniques and healing massage therapy approaches. She also checks in throughput the session to make sure the pressure and other aspects are comfortable and acceptable. Besides that she is kind and generous with her time and knowledge. Her studio is comforting and cozy too. I can't wait to go back.

When I first conceived of a trip to Orcas Island, I was looking for a restful getaway. With Erin…read morehelping to guide my trip, it turned out to be so much more. The massage/bodywork element to her work was exceptionally therapeutic by itself, but I'm really glad that I decided to have her curate a full, intentional retreat. Erin is incredibly intuitive and a gifted healer. I felt very open with her. After only a brief discussion, I found her suggestions for activities while I was there so personally and insightfully tailored to what I was going through. Her recommendations really helped me get lost in "deep time." Checking in with her at the end of my time on Orcas to discuss what I did and the significance I found in it was helpful for me to process it, and our visits framed my trip in a meaningful way. If you want an intuitive soul to help you traverse a meaningful transition in your life, I couldn't recommend Erin more highly.

I have been seeing Lib for sugaring for around 4 years now. I had past experiences that made me…read morevery cautious and extremely nervous about trying sugaring once again. She is a rare gem in a service that can be very intimidating. She immediately makes you feel at ease with her warm demeanor and welcoming smile. She takes all your needs into consideration, and goes above and beyond to put your comfort above anything else. I would recommend her for any of her treatment or services, you will not be disappointed in your decision and you will make a lifetime friend and partner in your beauty journey!

I go to see her religiously around once a month, and she works her magic with her Loyal Brow - Brow Sugaring/Brow Tinting. She will focus on enhancing your natural beauty - (like the best version of you), and she knows her stuff when it comes to using products that are natural and good for your skin. Here are some pics to give some context on my eyebrows before my monthly Lib visits - compared to now with my regular Lib visits. I also got her lash lift/tint once and was getting compliments for weeks.I seriously wouldn't go to anyone else!!!

Mckenna is a gifted massage therapist and a very kind person overall! I have been getting…read moredeep-tissue massages weekly for years in California before I moved to Bellingham this summer, and I experimented with a few other practitioners before choosing Mckenna. She is strong and thorough and her studio is very comfortable. I enjoy our discussions before my massage and I am grateful for her attentive care. I am a pretty active person, I have a desk job, and I develop pain and tightness in my body during the week. After my sessions with McKenna, my body feels much more comfortable and free :)

Mckenna gave me a wonderful massage experience, intuitively finding each of the spots that needed finding and addressing each in a way where I felt transported to a very happy place.

This review is for: Massage Services @ Vital Energy Center…read more I noticed they had a special going for a $47 one-hour massage, so I decided to go for it. Now I'm considering turning this into part one of their massage sampler ($147 gets you three one-hour massages, on different days with different practitioners - that way you get to experience ALL the styles they offer). Location/Space: Very convenient, even by bus. The 49 bus stop is maybe a half a block away. I love the garden at the entrance, that the office is in a remodeled 1909? craftsman (I have a thing for old homes), and the "sun room" waiting area. So on to the important part... the massage. I decided to go with Tara, who does the traditional relaxation and deep tissue massages. What really caught my attention, though, was that she does energy work. This was one thing that was missing for me from the great but rather "medical" massage I got earlier this year, so I was happy to see it was part of her practice. As for the experience... it was one of those where I think "this is nice but nothing special" at first... and about halfway through I realize I have reached that happy place where I think I'm conscious but I'm only really coherent every once in a while. I love that place. My back felt wonderful when I left, and I spent my bus ride home having something of a spiritual experience.

You can tell the Vital Energy Center is a special place right away. It just FEELS GOOD. First of…read moreall, it's not in a sterile office building, rather, it's in a dedicated section of a house on one of the main streets in Capitol Hill. The entryway is lush with vegetation and the waiting area is washed in sunlight (or cloud light. It is Seattle people). Hardwood floors abound. It's got a warm feel to it, not clinical, but very professional and clean. The care is excellent and Dr. Kohler is very attentive. Your initial consult is thorough and you walk away with a very clear treatment plan. I never felt pressured in any way. Treatment is painless. Oh, and I got to use a decline table with a built-in massager. If I had space in my apartment, I'd rock one of these, but I can't bear to part the mechanical bull in my living room. Heather, the office manager and Eliza, the nutritionist are friendly and knowledgeable. All-around great experience. I feel like a million bucks after my visits. Oh, and turn off your cell phone or I'll punch you in the face.
