I took the four module course of Neuromuscular Reprogramming. It changed the very essence of how I approach body work and dysfunction in the body. Worth every grueling second. read more

Jocelyn and the Healus team have saved my health. After having a baby my body was in so much pain especially on one side of my body. I also had developed some jaw issues (TMD). I had been to 10 different practitioners (MDs, Chiro, massage therapist, PT, CST, ND, Lymph drainage etc) before finding Jocelyn. I was starting to give up hope that I would ever walk without pain or function normally ever again. After the first session I was in tears of happiness because my knee pain disappeared. Completely. And didn't come back!!! Still hasn't. My body is more aligned, my pain has greatly improved, and I have my life back. I also have been having TMD issues since pregnancy and Jocelyn's magic in ONE session of working on that has improved my sleep OVERNIGHT and completely gotten rid of headaches and tightness in my jaw. I owe Jocelyn my health and my life and I cannot put into words how thankful I am to the universe for bringing me to her!!! Try it. It's not a regular "massage" but it's WAY MORE EFFECTIVE than one for real body work and therapeutic benefit. I work in the therapy filed, so I know. This is the real deal. read more

Note, this is not a massage place. So if you're just looking for a feel-good massage, this is not it. But, if you're looking for therapeutic body work - they'll give you more than you can ask for. If you have had injuries, accidents or stress in your body, don't be one of those people who thinks nothing is wrong because you "feel ok". It's probably cut off mind-body awareness because your body is trying to keep you going until you give out. I love how I've gotten more in-tune with my body here. The increased body awareness means I have some control over how I feel and react. Maintenance and wellness helps too. I rotate between Jocelyn for nuanced issues and Mila for general tune-ups. They're always very thorough and attentive with my body. I've also seen Bee for Mercier Therapy. That was really amazing and helped give me back so much pelvic mobility. It also improved my low back stiffness, which I'm sure will help when I plan to pop out babies in the future. They're worth the money! read more

Sometimes the knowledge of how much pure, scientific genius lives tucked away behind these walls keeps me up at night. I'm 29, Chronic Pain, 4 surgeries. I've seen the world's best doctors, from A-Rod's hip guy to the Mayo Clinic. Jocelyn and her team understand the human body as it actually works, as opposed to as unconnected parts that can only be viewed through a telescope at close range. One of my big struggles these days is trying to, as politely as possible, explain to every doctor I do see that Jocelyn is the smartest person I've ever met and that I refuse to make any significant decisions about surgery or my body without her guidance. (Note: I'm not being hyperbolic. I'm wrapping up a Masters in Software Engineering at Harvard rn, so I've met some scary smart people. She's definitely one of them). Healus isn't a massage place...It's a scientific advancement in understanding how various (all) body parts work together and plug into the central nervous system. One small example, basically every doctor/PT has told me you can't train and consciously control small muscle movements in your body. A few weeks ago, I realigned my vertebrae (vertebral instability is the crux of my issue) in an MRI. Other people have better stories. Somehow...this needs to find its way into mainstream medicine, because there are millions of people living in pain and this is something that works. It's significantly more effective than Oxycontin, actually fixes the underlying problems, and is much, much better for you. I'm amazed Chip Kelly or Steve Kerr haven't swooped in yet. Speaking as a former (now semi-broken) collegiate athlete, it would give their teams a MASSIVE edge. These days, I primarily see Dion as she has in many ways surpassed her mentor, has a mastery of NMR, and understands vertebral issues better than Jocelyn (imho). She is also easily one of the smartest people I've ever met and has this uncanny knack of being able to convince me of things that I previously thought we're ridiculous using sound logical arguments that I can't beat (which nerds like me are into). I honestly can't imagine what my life would be like if I hadn't found this place. If I could give a 150 stars I would. It's unfair ranking this on the same scale as the French Laundry. They're not even close. Healus allows me to do the things that make life worth living. read more

I did not have a good experience with Jocelyn! My right side is where my pain was coming from, which I now know is due to super tight hip flexors, but she decided my problem was on the left side and super high up my spine. Not only was I still in pain after the treatment, but I had terrible scratches from her fingernails that she pressed into me and scratched down my back. I took photos of my scratched up back when I got home to document the new trauma done to me. What a horrible experience and it was very expensive! Now, I go to an amazing massage therapist who focuses on injuries and chronic pain. After one session I felt relief and it was $80.00 for the hour. What I felt was lacking at Healus was true human compassion and a humble approach which true healers have. read more

After 3 years of suffering with unknown pain in my body and shoulder, it seems that NMR with Niko Nishimine is the solution! I found Healus on Yelp. They are in a great location and very easy to work with. The treatment rooms are lovely. Niko listens and works intently to correct my muscle issues. I encourage anyone with chronic pain to go see him. I feel more clear and that i have more energy now that my body is not focusing on pain, and my muscles are firing the way they are supposed to. read more

NMR is flat-out amazing. I'm a competitive athlete who trains anywhere from 10-25 hours a week and have been able to be injury-free with the help of folks at Healus. (Minus a concussion, but they can't help that ;) ). This place does not traditional sports massage so I'd recommend that everyone unfamiliar with this technique go in with an open mind, especially if they are dealing with chronic issues that have been unresolved. Sometimes, this includes working in places that aren't the immediate area of pain. The way I see it, the discomfort I'm feeling tends to be a result of a deeper underlying issue and after a session the pain dissipates in a few days and magically never returns. Sometimes the changes are so subtle and then I realize the next day that I'm able to walk and move differently. Everyone here is well trained and incorporates their own flare. I typically seek out Will but also also receive from Shannon and speak highly of both. That being said, I don't think I would be able to compete as intensely if I didn't have NMR in my back pocket and am truly grateful for the freedom it gives me to do what makes me happy. Top quality preventative care. read more

Got my Groupon and booked two appointments with this place sight unseen. I needed cranial sacral work, or so said my chiropractor. The building was easy to find (by Piatti) and the set up is small and homey, but welcoming. The day I was there, there were brownies and tea! Terez Toneff gave me some amazing work, she's highly skilled in cranial sacral work and I was floating off (not asleep, but certainly not awake either) right away under her skillful touch and I stayed in this la-la, dreamland for about 90 minutes. I wish I had the right words to describe the experience-floating, relaxing, resting. Trust me, it was great! I felt so refreshed and calm afterwards! I am so glad I found Terez and will be back after my two Groupon treatments! read more

I am a machine. A machine that grinds and pushes and defies the laws of gravity and aerodynamics when I'm at my peak performance. I am as active in my dancing/teaching as most athletes are, and when I'm going full force I teach 13+ classes a week with an additional 5 hours or so in training with a company I perform with. That's roughly 20 hours during the week where my body is moving. Up, down, across the floor, upside down - you name it, my body does it. But, like any machine, I need a little oil and tune-up every now and then. I've received two Neuro Muscular Reprogramming sessions with Dion and have walked out of there both times actually feeling better, which doesn't happen all that often. After just the first session I felt some relief of the chronic symptoms I experience which are associated with the asymmetrical muscular dysfunction, strain and pinching of my mild scoliosis which causes not so mild symptoms that can range from mild to severe depending on various conditions like the weather, stress, injury and the position I sleep in. I had a successful second session with Dion after my neck/shoulder girdle flared up recently. Dion is super intuitive and a natural healer. Her knowledge of the musculature and anatomy is superb, and her hands are super strong. She integrates basic breath work, relaxation and visualization techniques into the session also where appropriate, which gently helps the muscles to relax and subsequently release. While I am sure she works with each client's own level of comfort, she was able to work successfully and deeply with my body to release muscles which have been problematic for me since my flare up began. I've received body work and various treatments over the course of my lifetime, including massage, acupuncture, healers, rolfers, and chiropractors. But, the NMR sessions have felt like the most useful and efficient treatments I've received. I've gone ahead and invested in my body and well-being by purchasing a group of sessions so I can receive treatments consistently over a period of time that makes sense to actively address the acute condition of my issues. The best money I've spent all year, for sure and I'm worth every penny! read more

I was all about trying something new in spite of various reviews, but very disappointed. I left in more pain than when I arrived. I tried to be patient with the whole, I'm going to make you feel better routine by targeting other areas, but he didn't focus on my extreme area of pain and not only am I still in pain...it's way worse. Will was the guy and he was nice and I know was trying, but unless you fully listen to your client they're not going to be happy. I'm super unhappy and I'm so much pain. Very sad for me. :( read more

Healus has saved my sanity! I was in a lot of pain for 6 months, and the NMR seems to have literally healed my back injury, finally! I also feel so grateful for the family-like environment; everyone is so helpful and professional. Overall a wonderful experience, highly recommended. I will be going back for the Vasper workouts, and further help with my chronic pain and alignment issues. Thank you Healus! read more

Where do I even start... I have known Jocelyn as both, my teacher and the ONLY bodyworker I go to since the beginning of January 2013. Not only her style of work has influenced my own work tremendously (better say, changed it forever). But she also was able to dial in to my body-mind in such depths, that no one (including myself) was able to go to. I am not just talking muscle. I am talking about uncovering and healing the years of stress, that had been the underlying cause of most of my muscular problems. I will be forever grateful for having my path crossed with Jocelyn`s. What a blessing! xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo read more

This session with Terez was transformative! I only hesitate to share how incredible it was because it was so hard to get an appointment on her busy calendar. But the minute she started to work everything began to shift. I've been in chronic pain for over a month and her work left me feeling almost normal the next day! Her work is subtle and yet so powerful! I can't wait to come back in! read more

I had a session yesterday at the Healus Center for NMR (Neuromuscular Reprogramming). I still feel like a completely different person from this session. It's quite remarkable the way this work helps so much with achey or painful muscles. My neck feels much better as well & my range of motion has improved a great deal. To top it off, I slept better than normal last night. I was involved in a pretty bad snowboarding accident 19 years ago which resulted in whiplash & trauma to tailbone. I consider myself a very good critic when it comes to bodyworkers of any sort after all these years of dealing w/ chronic pain. It's very important to me that I see results that produce positive change. The Healus Center also has highly skilled Cranial Sacral Therapists. I had nerve pain going down both arms & into my hands. I tried so many different modalities before this & of course, medical doctors get lost in tests & more tests ($$$) that show nothing. After my first session, the nerve pain vanished for 2 days. Each session prolongs this impact. I'm so happy about this. I can't say enough positive things about this center & their practitioners other than if you are having any type of pain issue w/ your body or if you'd just like to have a fabulous massage, check it out!! read more

Several years ago, dealing with the joint and spine pains earned by years as a former athlete (gymnast) and a motorcycle crash that pretty much threw my body out of symmetry, I saw Jocelyn Olivier, who turned out to be an extraordinary "bodyworker" to use the generic term, that I've known, and I've experienced the work of many excellent massage therapists, physical therapists, deep-tissue, Rolfing, Hellerwork, and other such modalities. Some people have good hands that just know where the ouch is but Jocelyn also has that "x-ray" vision and insight and education not only to really see what's wrong, but to treat the body holistically, and most important of all, she gets results. Lots of bodywork feels good during, and even after, for a day or two. But Jocelyn, in my experience, knew how to actually get lasting results. As with many master practitioners, she was drawn to teaching, with the same clarity and vision, and then opened the Healus Center, applying those high standards to a center where she could train others and reach more people, and do more good. That's why I'm giving five stars to Healus Center. read more

Going to Healus is always helpful and healing and certainly a healthy choice when we are allowed out of our homes again!

The depth of knowledge about the body by these practitioners is amazing. Jocelyn and Roe have changed my life movement patterns. If you are stuck, they will solve your issues. read more

Amazing muscle reprogramming massage! Really great rehab exercise equipment, and everyone here is dedicated to the craft. This is the real deal as far as healing work. I'm a practitioner myself and I trust and love their work 100%! read more

This modality of massage is great if you have sciatica. I walked pain free for 4 days for the first time since last June.

I developed constant neck pain after an athletic maneuver in February After months of annoyance and pain an MRI confirmed deterioration in my spine and neck area. A friend reminded me of Jocelyn, who i had visited some 30 years ago. My several sessions were beneficial, but not the pain relief I sought. i decided to try some western intervention consisting of nerve blocking. While waiting for this appointment...I realized my neck pain was gone. I was so use to it that I didn't even know it. Other minor body aches had kept my mind busy. I am 100% neck pain free. Thank you Jocelyn. read more

Brad is an incredible body worker and got my back and hip back in alignment after three years of pain. I had tried a myriad of other modalities but they didn't help. I can't recommend Brad highly enough read more

I absolutely agree with everything said in all other reviews below. I just want to add that my body therapist is Karen, and she is AMASING!!! I see her once a week and I am waiting eagorly for these treatments. Every time she tries something different. She analyzes my body and its response and reprogrames my body to be more flexible and without pain. She really performs magic! It is impossible to describe the methods and techniks, it is beyond my understanding, but it is something about allignment between your brain and body. I just know that it woorks wonders! Karen, thank you so much for your help! I feel so much better. I listen to my body and I am surprised that my pain is almost gone. I can't wait to see you again after I am back from my vacation! read more

i cannot believe all the 5 star reviews! if i could give this establishment 0 stars, i would. i purchased a groupon to try their neuromuscular reprogramming. i told brad that while i do have chronic lower back issues that i wanted him to focus on my neck and shoulders, which was causing significant pain. he spent all his time on my right side of my neck and shoulders. now i thought that was odd to completely ignore my left side. he said that most of the tension arose from the right side. well, he also spent probably half of the 75 mins doing checks and writing in his notebook. when the session was done, my left shoulder and neck were hurting, the area that he ignored. i mentioned this to brad and he took a minute at best to massage that side. a week later, the real pain started. the nmr massage left me out of balance and i threw out my back. i haven't had a severe lower back episode in over a year, which i maintain through weekly yoga classes. i am now spending significant amounts of money getting treatment for my lower back. i can barely walk let alone take care of my children. i would never go back to healus nor recommend them to anyone. read more

If you are having any kind of an issue with your body or just want to do some really great self-care, this is the place to go. They offer many different types of body work and can help with most problems. You will be amazed at the technique and knowledge of these workers. I have shoulder pain and loss of range of motion. After just one session, the pain was greatly reduced and my range of motion improved. It really works. I encourage anyone who has issue with their muscles, pain or movement to go see them. read more

DO IT. The techniques used at Healus have changed my life. I'm a tennis player, and also use a computer daily, and was having nagging injuries resulting from both. I'm not going to give up either, so I need maintenance like my car needs regular tune-ups. I've seen Brad for 5 appointments and could not be happier with the results. Every time I'm at Healus, I notice another client sounds like I do, where they say it's a miracle for them. If there were more than 5 stars, that's what I would choose. read more

After a concussion and bodily injury from a car accident, I received services from the Healus Center for a year and a half. I began my treatment with Jocelyn, saw a couple of other practitioners at the center, and then had the remaining treatment from Jackie B. I can highly recommend that anyone and everyone try the magnificent healing services that supervisors Jocelyn and Jackie provide. In addition, Roe in administration did a fantastic job of managing paperwork required for my insurance claim as well as coordinating with the providers on scheduling information and notes. Jackie and Jocelyn at the Healus Center provide true healing on the physical and energetic levels. I highly recommend them and am so thankful to have received their services. read more

At the age of 22 I already had a debilitating injury to my back from shoveling snow. I couldn't snowboard, run, or even exercise. I was in pain most of the time. It was very depressing. Jocelyn Olivier and her associates at the Healus center overhauled my body and put it back together so that it works. The results and how fast it worked are amazing! I'm pain free most of the time now. NeuroMuscular Reprogramming along with some chiropractic adjustments and my own conditioning program have given me back my life again. read more

After a year of increasing lower back pain, the pain-free time had almost ceased to exist. Diagnosed by MRI with 6 compressed discs and stenosis, I was not having a satisfying quality of life. On the recommendation of a friend- she'd had a painful hip for three months, went for ONE session, and never needed to return - I made an appointment for a free 1/2 hour evaluation with Jocelyn. I came in with pain that was about 7-9 on a scale of 1-10. She pressed here and there, pulled here and there, muscle tested, and it was all very mysterious to me, having had regular massages, but never gone to a body worker. I was shocked that over the next four days my pain had diminished to between 2-4! Over the past 6 months or so, In addition to Jocelyn, I've seen two other practitioners at the clinic and my pain has dramatically decreased. Sometimes I have no pain until very late in the day which I can control with pressure exercises (brain buttons), and last week I had two days with no pain at all. I'm really thrilled - I didn't want to be living the way I was six months ago. A word about "brain buttons" - given this exercise to eliminated pain when it occurred, I remained a skeptic, until I began using it. I press in certain areas (very simplistic description) and after about a minute, back pain ceases. I was visiting my sister who came into the kitchen bent over -- "back hurts" she said. I asked if she wanted to try the "button", and after about a minute, she walked around the kitchen, "pain is gone" - she was pretty shocked, as am I. Thanks to Jocelyn and the practitioners at HealUs for a dramatically improved quality of life!! Try it! with a 1/2 hour free evaluation by Jocelyn, you've nothing to lose, except your pain. read more

I came to the Healus Center looking for help with a calf injury that was healing very slowly. After my first session with Jocelyn, I skipped down the boardwalk! Her intuitive and healing presence and hands really turned around my recovery and I am very thankful and grateful to her and the Healus Center. I bought one of the packages offered so I can continue to see her for "tune-ups" that seem to improve my movement, flexibility and strength with each session. I can't wait for my next session! read more

This place is an extraordinary find--head and shoulders above the store front style massage establishments. Here you can find a range of services from low cost work by recent graduates to seasoned professionals with decades of experience. I have been worked on by several people at Healus (as well as at the school clinic which is run by the same people) and had great therapeutic massage with lasting results. The setting is professional, the front desk staff polite and efficient and the NMR work (Neuro-Muscular Reprogramming) is amazing stuff. I regularly get NMR work done which had profoundly changed my gait and posture. I cannot recommend this place more highly! read more

A Miracle. The pain is GONE. I am in awe of the expertise that flows through Jocelyn Olivier's heart and hands. More than a year and a half ago, I flipped forward off a horse that bolted. I spent thousands of dollars and hundreds of hours working with the top doctors and chiropractors to relieve the intense pain that radiated from the left side of my sacrum. Sleeping on my side hurt. Driving a car hurt. Yoga hurt. I began to think the pain would always be there. One two-hour session with Jocelyn and - not only is the pain gone - I can feel my body is back in balance, I feel as if my body now has the alignment it needs to heal the injury. The session was nothing short of amazing. I am forever grateful. Jocelyn knew exactly where to go and exactly what to do to put me back together. I LOVE YOU JOCELYN. read more

I can't express all my sincere appreciation and gratitude to Roe. She is a great professional with big heart and the kindest hands. I will never forget our session. After 60 minutes of stress reduction with Roe, for the first time in a long time I was sleeping like a baby. My traumatized body full of pain feels lighter and is able to relax. Pain is gone. I can deeply breath, I feel inner harmony and happiness again. I can create... I am reminded that I am alive, happy, free and beautiful thanks to great healers like Roe around me. I wish for everyone to meet these people in your life. Thank you, Roe from all my heart for this help in the difficult time. I will dedicate my next creative colorful painting to You! read more

Excellent service - helping me recover from a chronic neck/back injury due to desk work and athletics. After seeing a dozen different providers, I have found Jocelyn and team to be the best at diagnosing the problema and retraining my muscles so everything works properly. Not perfect yet, but a lot better so I can get back on my bike, swim, run etc. without pain. read more

As well as being a student of Jocelyn Olivier's work, I am also a client. Jocelyn is one of the best bodyworkers on the planet and her staff are very good as well. From subtle energetics, to deep tissue, to spinal unwinding, to belief systems, to nueromuscular reprogramming, Jocelyn holds a storehouse of tools and intuition to help a person heal. After partial motor nerve loss in my right hand, Jocelyn has been tremendous in helping me to heal. I highly reccomend Healus and Jocelyn Olivier to students and anyone seeking healing. read more

Brad is fantastic! Very professional, knowledgeable & strong. I don't typically ever pick male body-workers but I would not hesitate to work with him again or recommend to anyone. read more

I've spent over $7,000 in one year at Healus and it was worth every penny of it!

I came to Healus Center by way of a gift certificate, and I'm so grateful to the gift giver - I love this place, and have returned many times. I was suffering from upper back and neck pain, and shoulder impingement issues. It hurt to swim, reach for anything, and even to knit. I've been under the healing care of Brad Benson since early February who has been using Neuromuscular Reprogamming and Myofacial Realease techniques. These methods are really working and I can feel the new, reprogrammed patterns taking hold. It's now July and most of the pain is gone. I can swim again! Also, my back no longer hurts when I exercise with the foam roller. My posture is greatly improved too. Brad is very skilled at finding the exact area, however small, which needs to be worked on, often because it's adversely affecting another area. He know what's out of balance, or what is rotated, or the best pressure to apply without overdoing it. I would highly recommend Brad at the Healus Center! read more

I am so thankful that a friend of mine referred me to the Healus Center. My tennis elbow had gotten much worse, even after I had tried the cortisone shot route. My friend told me to make an appointment right away and said, "they work miracles there." I am so grateful that I listened to her advice. In just 5 sessions with Brad I feel like a new person. I can't tell you the relief I feel. I was really starting to think I was going to have to live with this chronic pain all my life. The relief of pain has given me a renewed sense of energy and I have even started to get back to a regular exercise routine. I'm usually just too busy to sit down and write reviews, but I did want to take the time to write this review about Brad and the Healus Center. They are that good, that I feel the need to spread the word. The name is the perfect fit because they truly can heal us! I'm hoping this review may help others find this wonderful place and set up an appointment. It's like giving yourself the gift of health and well-being. I am so grateful to Brad and the Healus Center. It isn't any wonder...all their Yelp reviews are 5 star! read more
