YO1: Where Wellness Goes to Die…read more YO1 is what would happen if The Shining and Nine Perfect Strangers had a baby, then abandoned it in the Catskills without Wi-Fi, housekeeping, or adult supervision. A few days before check-in, I called specifically to ask about the yoga and meditation schedule. I referenced a robust schedule I found on the YO1 website and was told a similar schedule would be available when I arrived. What they neglected to mention was that the entire "schedule" consisted of one yoga class on Saturday morning at 8:00 a.m. There were also no guided meditations as advertised. Apparently, withholding basic information is part of the mindfulness journey. We also called ahead to confirm that Wi-Fi would be available. It wasn't. Yoga, meditation, Wi-Fi: all promised, none meaningfully provided. At YO1, amenities are less like services and more like affirmations--perhaps if you believe hard enough, they'll manifest. The "hot" tub was lukewarm. The pool was cold. The spa robes were visibly dirty and discolored. The robe and slippers in our room were never refreshed; instead, we received an empty slipper bag, an elegant little metaphor for the entire YO1 experience. We requested towels for the room, but they never arrived. Considering the condition of the robes by the pool, this may have been the closest the resort came to protecting our health. The furniture was peeling apart, the trim was scuffed, and the carpet had stains and crumbs large enough to qualify as their own wellness program. Nothing promotes inner peace quite like wondering whether your robe has already achieved intimacy with a stranger. The entire property was eerily empty. Not peaceful-empty. Not exclusive-retreat-empty. More like "the staff disappeared three winters ago, but the reservation system is still running" empty. At any moment, I expected twin wellness coaches to appear at the end of the hallway and whisper, "Come meditate with us...forever." For the past two weeks, we have repeatedly tried to request a refund directly with the hotel by both phone and email. We have received no response. Apparently, the vow of silence extends beyond the meditation program and into guest relations. YO1 advertises a wellness retreat but delivered one inconveniently timed yoga class, no guided meditation, nonexistent Wi-Fi, a cold pool, a tepid hot tub, dirty robes, missing slippers, undelivered towels, and deteriorating facilities. I did leave feeling transformed; however, I now have trust issues and a renewed appreciation for functioning hotels.

My partner never got her massage and was treated rudely by staff, especially kitchen staff. We decided to leave and get a refund, which was only partially granted, although it's been two days and I haven't seen it yet. We were so looking forward to a relaxing night away and this was a huge disappointment. It's truly impressive how unprofessional, rude, and incompetent the staff was. I am notifying the Better Business Bureau and I highly recommend staying away from this place. I am giving one star because otherwise I can't post this review. Yo1 is not worth even 1 star.

OH MY GOODNESS. I've been going to Mallory for reiki for…read moreover a year. I started going once a month and now go to her every couple months. Each session is better than the next and today's session topped everything. I've struggled with physical and mental health issues for majority of my life and have experienced low lows in my life- I've heard of reiki before but since going to her- my journey of healing has excelled all thanks to Mallory. She is the brightest light and a well of knowledge and am beyond blessed to have such amazing experiences each session. I guarantee if you have an hour session- you will feel weight lifted off of you spiritually, mentally, and physically. This girls talent, personality, and energy is everything someone would only dream to have as a client. Cannot wait to see her excel in her journey through her gifts

She is also such a kind heart and creates such a safe space to trust her with yours. Definitely recommend.
