I was in town for a couple of weeks and needed to continue my acupuncture treatments while I was…read morethere. This place was highly recommended, so I booked a session. I am not new to acupuncture by any stretch, but in the intake interview Amy asked me some very personal questions that did not relate to anything about my treatment needs, but I tried to go with the flow. She recommended some books and we had a very good conversation, but then the needles started to go in. Amy puts the needles in VERY deep, which I have learned through the years is simply not necessary 90% of the time. At one point, she put a needle in my upper left shin (lateral aspect). It was immediately on fire but I tried to breathe through it. Next up, the needles went in my ears. She put one into my left ear and I started shouting, "Ow! Ow!" She almost seemed to enjoy this because she just twisted the needle in as I shouted. By the end of the session, the lower half of my left leg was completely numb, my ear was throbbing, and I was trying to focus on staying calm. I did reschedule another appt at first, but cancelled it a few days later because my lower left leg and ear were STILL bothering me and because I just didn't want to endure another session. She has a lot of knowledge but uses a very old, American-style of acupuncture that I realize is the cause of so many people being turned off by this ancient practice. I ended up getting two appointments at another clinic and had a much, much better experience.

They say not to come for 2nd half of appt & then charge $95-$100. Not cool. Most places will still fit you in if you wait a bit when that happens. Not here. You'd think they'd have a little understanding if they really cared about their patients' wellbeing (vs. just $$$). They also charge an extra $15 fee for ordering supplements in addition to their markup (and shipping). This is a pricy place, and they care more about money than people. Very disappointing.

I have been seeing Christina over the years for different ailments and always loved my experience…read more But this past 1.5 years of consistent acupuncture has been an incredible experience for me and the ultimate gift at the end of the process - my little girl! I came back to acupuncture after having a miscarriage to heal and hopefully get pregnant again in February of 2025. Christina talked me through everything - supplements, acupuncture cadence and benefits of cupping and infared sauna. I took the supplements as directed and came in 8x a month, with occasional adjustments to my membership. I will never forget joining in a sound bath at Vitality Wellness in the first month and laying underneath the wall of babies Christina helped bring to this world. I prayed I would have a little one of my own to join the wall. By June of 2025 I was pregnant! And came in regularly every month to be supported by acupuncture and cupping. I was a high risk pregnancy due to preexisting conditions but my little girl and I were completely healthy throughout the entire process. She was welcomed into the world in February of 2026 - exactly 1 year after I started my journey again back at Vitality Wellness. Postpartum I have felt amazing and continue to see Christina. I genuinely attribute the investment into my mental and physical well being was a huge factor in my successful and healthy pregnancy and birth. Thank you so much for all of your support, Christina. I'm so grateful my little one is officially on the wall of babies!

I had never received treatment using alternative medicine before but I decided to keep an open mind and an open heart. At the time when I had started treatment I was on a very strong anti-psychotic. It was such a relief to find a clinic where I felt completely heard and understood. After a few weeks of relief from the treatment I finally had the courage to let my psych know that I no longer wanted to be on the meds. It has been going well for me since then. I've read a few books on Traditional Chinese medicine and it has been a great learning experience. Bring shorts to change into. Make enough time in your day to dedicate the time to heal.

We were referred here for PT, and with the high reviews of this place, we had a level of expectation for the treatment. Unfortunately, it was extremely impersonal, and the PT was more of being set up on machines and doing reps independently, with no assistance, follow-up, and being completely forgotten about. The fact that they charge you for a session where you don't even work with a PT is mind-boggling, and the co-pay that we had to pay was very regretting. This place makes you really believe that PTs are unnecessary and a waste of time. The number of sessions that were scheduled here amounted to nothing, and there was no decrease in the level of discomfort. +inattentive docs & staff +extremely impersonal

This was my first time coming to this center and getting a full body massage. From the moment I stepped into the center, I immediately felt calm, soothed and welcomed. The entire center has an element theme. There's a room named air, fire, earth, wind and water. There's dimly lit lighting, the scent of incense in the air, crystals all around, and soothing music playing. My massage therapist was Kristine. She was very friendly and put me at ease right away. I took a minute to fill out a new patient sheet and she discussed any medical conditions or anything that I wanted to focus on. She gave me a tour of the center and then we began my treatment. The raindrop treatment was awesome! She dropped (8), I think, essential oils down my spine, then covered them with a warm damp towel and let them soak in, meanwhile she began my massage. Kristine was excellent!!! She always made sure that I was comfortable and that nothing was too painful. The raindrop treatment helped to loosen up my muscles and also acts as a detox. It was very refreshing, even though I smelled like a "pizza" after wards. Haha...I think one of the oils was oregano. I had my massage yesterday and today I actually feel pretty darn good. I've been in constant pain the past 2 weeks due to fibromyalgia, and the massage and raindrop treatment truly helped me! I can't wait until my next treatment! Overall, this place is awesome. They offer more than just massage. They do traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture, ear candling, and reiki. They even have an infared sauna and do all kinds of body wraps and such. There's also facials, waxing and eyelash extensions. Check out their website for a full list of all they do! Aimee, the owner, is sweet and soooo knowledgeable and helpful. Please take a moment for yourself and call the Balance Healing Center. You will be thankful you did!
