I used to think getting massages was something I shouldn't spend money on b/c of the cost, but the more active I am, the more I realize how I truly need it for my body to keep going and remain as active as I want it to be. For me, it is a worthy investment. Especially as a mid-40-year-old man, the older I get, it's so much easier for me to prioritize my health and body, as opposed to a night or two out of drinking in which you can easily spend the same amount of money but feel WAY worse. One of the things I love about Willia's care is her truly unique intuitive ability. When she gets down to working on my body, her hands are remarkable at pinpointing all my problem areas; and I'm not just talking about knots, anyone can do that. She is fantastic at identifying areas that are extremely tight, overworked, and holding extra tension, pain, and trauma. She knows how to get in there and offer relaxation, release, and rejuvenation. As someone who has been going to Gratitude Healing for some time now, I would highly recommend this place to newbies. Book a 90-minute session, it's the best way to get the full experience! Lastly, as someone who has an inconsistent work schedule, booking with Willia has also been super easy and flexible. Often I can get in to see her within a day or two!

If you are wanting to learn more about Forrest Yoga, I could not suggest a better instructor. I used to see her at both Yoga Vibe and at Silver Lake Yoga. Sadly, I moved from the area and am no longer able to get to her classes or book bodywork with her. If you are in the Los Angeles area, I definitely recommend all of Caroline's talents!

I initially went to her for a myofascial message, but soon after she suggested I would benefit more from craniosacral therapy. I wish I could describe how such a light touch therapy works so well, but I cannot. All I can say is that, in Mel's hands, craniosacral therapy has given me pain reduction, nervous system calming, and overall physical and mental relief, in a way no other physical or mental therapy has ever given me. And, I have done years of physical therapy, acupuncture, meditation, mental therapy, regular message, etc. She's so intuitive that sometimes she narrows into working on problem areas I didn't even know were spasmed or clogged until she releases them. I leave feeling like I've been in a meditative state, but better. The calmness and physical relaxation last longer with each session. What started as a few hours of relief, has extended to days, and sometimes weeks. She helped me learn how to unconsciously relax my own system, and reduce the muscle spasms, brain fog, anxiety and other issues that come with it. With her help, I'm managing several physical chronic conditions that literally had disabled me for over a decade before I found her. She's helped me both through crises, and simply to maintain equilibrium in my system. In addition, she's such a kind and smart person. I cannot recommend Mel's services highly enough.

I found Golden Folk via Yelp and am so grateful I did. The first Reiki practitioner I went to was Karen. I had never done Reiki before, but I had tried lots of other healing modalities. I have now seen her 2 or 3 times already, and my husband went to her once as well. She is lovely and affordable. Additionally, the physical space of Golden Folk is calming and very aesthetically pleasing. Each time I enter, I begin to feel grounded already from the good vibes there! This week, Karen was unavailable on the day that I really needed a session, so I called over to ask if anyone else was available. Tiffany was so helpful and scheduled me last minute despite it almost being closing time! Apparently, Karen trained Tiffany; I love Tiffany now too. I have had two sessions with her and am TRULY grateful for the work she has done to help rebalance me. Both Tiffany and Karen are terrific practitioners, kind and warm. I feel a huge weight lifted after my sessions with Tiffany this week. I plan to recommend her to friends up and down the eastside! Thanks, Tiffany and Karen! read more

I knew there was new management for this place prior to coming and reading the reviews and I haven't had any problems since coming here. I've only seen Taylor as I tend to come in the mornings but she's very friendly and attentive. Some weeks I have areas that require special attention and she is happy to accommodate. With old management I know other reviewers complained about needles being left in but Taylor does a good job double checking to ensure that doesn't happen. I'm happy with the service I've been provided, but I'll say my biggest suggestion is getting rid of the table verses chair appointments and allowing table for all guests. Although this place is affordable, I have called some places closer to Arcadia that do as low as $60 for full table treatment. I don't think they necessarily need to offer the full service - private section and back acupuncture - for the $55 sessions if they converted to table, but I think it does provide a more professional environment. For parking, I've gotten a $70 ticket using meter parking here since I didn't budget enough time, so if you're going to do that, I highly recommend doing a minimum of 1 hour and 15 minutes but would suggest 1 hour and 30 if you want to be safe. I got my ticket only 5 minutes after it expired and I've seen parking enforcement patrol the area actively, so don't take any chances. I usually try to park on the side street near the church that is free, but it's usually very limited with only one spot open especially since street sweep occurs during the middle of the day on Wed and Thurs. Overall I've enjoyed coming here and would just suggest a bit of an upgrade to the acupuncture room.
