I am not a vegan, but I found this place to be absolutely wonderful to reset my system with a weeklong fast while feeling very safe and at home. There's truly nowhere in the world, that I know of, that you can get a cozy clean room in the most beautiful town I've ever seen with a 24/7 salad bar, medical supervision 4x today in your room with kind, compassionate medical providers and staff, delivered broth and juices also 4x a day, not to mention the daily cooking demonstrations, lectures, and stretching classes-for under $300 a day. Also I found the beautiful plants and fragrant flowers help you feel at peace while you heal. This is not a five-star hotel. It's a healthcare center that assists you in healing naturally, while feeling safe and supported.

They had an excellent massage therapist, Jodi, who many clients--including myself--specifically requested because of her skill, kindness, and attentiveness. Unfortunately, instead of listening to their clients, the owners appeared more concerned about keeping other staff comfortable, even when the quality of service didn't compare. Overall, it was a disappointing experience, and I wouldn't recommend going here.

This is truly a 5 star experience. I've been going to Alicia on and off for years now for a number…read moreof various issues mostly stemming from my terrible posture, forward neck and rolled shoulders. There are 2 things I love about Alicia: #1) She'll come to you! Yup thats right, in your own home! #2) She truly listens to you and your body The session generally starts off with some light rocking of the hips, which no one else has ever done before, and is a great feeling as it loosens you up but also I feel helps her detect some underlying tightness and issues. She knows a variety of different techniques and you can tell has years and years of bodywork experience. She has employed trigger point therapy before as I was having a lot of referring pain down my arms and in my neck and almost immediately I could feel my muscles release and pain relief. I've sent numerous people to her and every single person calls me after to thank me for introducing them.

The cool little cabin for masage has a wood burning stove if needed, is flled with good energy and light. I love this space and Jes. So lucky to have found her! --

After years of struggling, I'm starting to feel better. Using science and evidenced based methods - some traditional approaches like prescription meds and some holistic approaches like supplements and herbs - she has helped me tremendously. She has helped me infinitely more effectively than my Harvard-trained PCP and world renowned MD specialists who can't think out of their narrow boxes or don't care to address anything that doesn't further their research agenda. I've also seen other naturopathic physicians who were not effective, so I'm not one of those people who think all traditional doctors are bad and all alternative providers walk on water. Dr. Cooluris' office can feel unorganized at times, but for me that's a small price to pay for solutions that work and someone who cares enough to think through the issues. Even though I live in Massachusetts, I've searched the whole country to get help. I've literally never met Dr. Cooluris in person since she's in CA, and she's helped me more through zoom and medical testing than all the local doctors have.

My body needs deep tissue work and acupressure therapy like Jack needed something to float on. And it's actually quite rare that I find someone who is able to use the right pressure in the right ways that would allow my body to heal. I've only ever known two therapists that are on par with Patricia and they both moved out of state. Patricia is among the very top of those who are able to accomplish the work that someone like me needs. I would highly recommend her services - especially if you are a person who is experiencing tightness and possible tissue scarring from a highly active lifestyle.

CranioSacral therapy at it's best...I highly recommend!…read moreReceiving bodywork from Holly is one of the greatest self care gifts I give to myself. From the moment I enter her office I feel transported into a sea of calm warmth---from her kind, welcoming smile, to the serene surrounds, to the cozy heated table. Most importantly, Holly's expert hands and gently attuned presence provide an experience that feels extremely safe, nurturing and relaxing, and which fosters deep re-balancing and inner healing, every time. I'm very grateful my friend recommended her to me!

In our first session, it became very clear that I was in for a deep healing experience. I released a lot of emotions, which isn't easy for me to do. Holly provided a safe and very big container in which to process and move through some deep, dark, scary shit (I mean, she's worked as a hospice nurse, so I'm sure she's seen some things!). Her touch is very intuitive, powerful and loving. My life has been changing in big ways since I started working with her. I am healing core wound stuff, and the work continues to be deeply transformative and cathartic. I can't recommend Holly enough if you're having physical/emotional issues or are just looking for a CST in the area.
