She has a powerful healing touch and I felt very at ease and comfortable in her care. She has many years of experience and is very grounded, wise, and compassionate in her approach. My "chi" energy was restored after a few short weeks of working with her and she eased the pain in my elbow significantly. Yay! Pickleball here I come!

Maria is a conscientious, resourceful, and caring practitioner. One of the aspects I appreciate the…read moremost about her is her passion and skill for interpreting 5-Element philosophy for the layperson. This helps me as the patient to understand and integrate the treatment, as well as care for myself between treatments. I have come to Maria for many years and received desperately needed relief from Lyme fatigue, anxiety, and everyday stress. The results are reliably beneficial, if not transformative.

Lisa Sullivan is a truly gifted massage therapist (bodyworker). Her talents have come with years of…read moreexperience, rigorous medical training, and a natural gift for intuitive touch. I went in thinking I would have a typical Swedish massage with just about 3-minutes focused on my neck and shoulders and walked out feeling deeply relaxed/relieved within (and between!) every muscle and joint. Like a deep-sea diver, Lisa finds the hidden treasures and brings them out of hiding for special attention. I cannot recommend her enough though I recommend getting on her schedule soon. I say, "Once her client, always her client." I can hardly wait until my next appointment! NOTE: During COVID-19 (pre-vaccine) times, Lisa uses every precaution and is fully-trained to conduct massages in CDC-approved/health-compliant ways.

Booked a wax with Ali on the website weeks ago after going through some online reviews. When I got…read morethere they said Khristine will be with you shortly. I didn't recall the name, but I didn't have time to look it up (my original calendar reminder did show for Ali). The esthetician came in already prepped for and talking about sugaring. I mentioned that I booked for a wax. Didn't appear there was any effort going to be made to wax. She went on to explain why it's better and some of the advantages, but I had already done that research and thus booked wax. At this point I didn't have time to deal with this or reschedule as I had a trip the next day and still a lot to do. Sugar took way longer, cost more, and for me personally was not as pleasant an overall experience from waxing as they have to go over smaller patches. To each his own. The appointment time they set aside here for the one service is 1 hour. This location did not have quite the aesthetic I was hoping for. They are currently doing some construction on the other side so I'm not sure what it was like prior, but not the overall experience I was looking for. I've booked my follow up for Queen Bee in CA since I'll be out there (15-20 min service, cute place, $25 cheaper, and surprisingly pretty painless due to the wax they use). Parking: small spaces available in the garage below the building or street parking nearby.

She is highly knowledgeable of the human body and creates a respectful safe healing space for her clients. Jamie's studio is very comfortable and inviting. Her healing touch will relieve tension and has brought me serene relaxation during some of the most stressful points in my life. I have had the privilege of enjoying reiki healing sessions, massages and craniosacral therapy from Jamie. I can't wait to book my next session!

Aryana is a seasoned expert with lots of experience. I feel great and can't wait to make another appointment to see if I can continue to make progress. Aryana is strong and gentle, as needed.

The fall affected so many aspects of my life, but the hardest to deal with was lack of mobility, that and constant pain. As well as the depression that hit hard with my lack of mobility. My son recommended Living Well Chiropractic, and I scheduled my first appt. Dr Brian and his staff are amazing. His staff work hard at accommodating the patients schedule! I mean they are fantastic. Dr Brian goes over everything at the first few appointments, gives you a map of your treatment plan, and honestly sets you so at ease. It doesn't happen quickly, it takes time getting back to normal; but changes have been dramatic. I was living with constant pain. My pain levels are drastically lower. Walking, just walking was difficult, and over the course of my treatments my walking is so much more stabilized. I'm moving easier, my endurance is stronger. Im tackling things I thought were gone for me. Best decision I ever made was calling Living Well and setting up that first appointment. It just keeps getting better!!

Dr. Kay and team literally saved me…read more I have a very bad back (multiple surgeries on it and a lot of pain) I was getting debilitating migraines every week until I started going here. Dr. Kay started working on my back, neck, and TMJ (which I didn't even realize I had) and I have never felt better. I think the whole team is well trained and Dr. Kay can intuit exactly what to do to relieve pain and tension. It is like MAGIC how much better I feel when I leave. And everyone there from being checked in to the massage therapist to the chiropractor all make you feel seen. I have gone to a lot of places where you feel more like a hunk of meat, but the genuine empathy and care and attention they give to each of their patients is astounding. I can't recommend them enough! It is the best place for your pain and aches and your soul!

Fantastic HEATED spa beds - so thick and comfortable, with knee rolls - my body felt like it was floating. In fact, I do think I had an out-of-body experience as my shoulders, face and feet were massaged, its called HEAVEN. Why had I waited so long? No idea. The entire place is extremely well appointed with comfortable furniture, soothing colors and music, no skimping anywhere. Both Darlene (my original facial person) and Missy, my most recent facial person, are beyond great. Seriously, the Signature European Facial - died and gone to heaven. Facials aren't the only thing they do. They offer massage, salon treatments such as lash tints, and waxing. It's tucked behind Tree House Café in Lynwood.
