Great spot. Wife and I loved it and will definitely be returning. Welcoming friendly and accepting environment

The Everett House was amazing! Setting up an appointment was a little complicated online but they did provide an option to give them a text/call at the number they provided during the appointment set up confirmation. After reaching out to them, they quickly got back to me to confirm my appointment time. Going there was a bit nerve wracking since I've never been to a spa similar to this but the staff there made me and my partner feel comfortable and knowledgeable of all the amenities provided. We paid $35 for 90 mins/person, along with a towel rental of $2/towel. The spa house has a hot tub, isolation tank, steam/sauna, and a little tea garden to purchase drinks from during your time there. Overall the experience, people, and amenities (along with the price you pay) was very worth it and made my trip to Portland very memorable :) read more

A very clean, nice and respectful place where anyone can feel comfortable to relax and unwind. Despite the clothing optional it's a very non sexual all inclusive non judgmental environment. If your looking for a place that's safe and affordable to relax and unwind in a spa, steam, isolation tank etc. this is a great choice. Highly Recommend. read more

Up until recently, I was practically a never-nude. If you had told me I would have enjoyed a place like this I would have never believed you. Something in the back of my mind told me to just go for it, and I honestly believe it has changed my life for the better! All of the fellow bathhouse users have been nothing but friendly and respectful. I have never felt judged or uncomfortable in my handful of times going here. If the need arises, there are staff on hand that roam the grounds that you can alert and they will take care of it. I believe it is everyone's responsibility to help keep this a safe and respectable zone where everyone can just relax and exist as they are. Everett House is pretty big with multiple buildings and two separate outdoor areas. Both buildings have showers and locker rooms. The main building is a talking-permitted zone and in my experience is more heavily trafficked. If you prefer more privacy and quiet, you can get changed in the main locker room and then immediately exit outside (wearing a towel) into the second building. The second building has showers (a little bit more cramped than the main building but there is a divider), a steam room, and a small hobbit-sized sauna, all of which I have frequently had to myself even during busy hours. I highly recommend this experience to everyone. So much so that I got the unlimited 90-minute spa club membership. At $125 per month you only need to go 5 times a month to make it worth it which seems very doable. In addition, you can also bring a guest with you and they get 50% off every time. There can be a long waitlist during busy hours but a membership lets you call ahead and reserve space which is really nice. They hold your camera and ID upfront which is a very smart move, and thus no photos. Cast your American puritanical inhibitions aside and try this place out! read more

Amazing spa for open-minded, inclusive, and empathetic people. Safe and clean. Very relaxing. Been coming here for almost 5 years.

Love this place, but unfortunately their process for making appointments is so bad and stressful. You don't just make an appointment, you request an appointment and wait for confirmation. Usually I'll request and appointment and then get sent a confirmation with a different time than what I requested. The length of time you want to stay is also really difficult to manage. Ill click on the option of a 90 minute stay but then the only option on the actual request is 1 hour. Everette house will then send a confirmation text for a one hour stay. The last time this happened to me I attempted to leave after my one hour only to be told that I was booked for 90 minutes. As you can imagine trying to book an appointment with a friend is almost impossible. I've had to text and call to try and get the same time as my friend but was told to sign up online. (Which I had but was given a different time than my friend) Sometimes someone will help me over text. If it wasn't for this issue I would give this place a 5/5. Update: I called to talk with them about the issues with scheduling and was met with defensiveness and was told that "that's just how MINDBODY works" which is the app used to request appointments. Really disappointed, won't be returning. I was really nice on the phone but could tell the person I was talking with didn't want to discuss the issue and was really flustered. They quickly canceled my appointment and hung up on me. read more

Awesome place! All the massage therapists are superb. Melody is absolutely fantastic! Her skill is both mystical and magical. The best massage in 30 years.... read more

This beautiful center has housed so much of my healing, and I can't recommend their services enough. I had my second massage with Zara a few hours ago, and my body and mind will be basking in the glow of this experience for weeks to come. It'd be impossible to overstate the impact Zara has had on my physical health -- I suffered a head and neck injury a while back, and ever since I've (admittedly) been a little nervous to tend to these parts of my body. Zara has been sensitive to my injury since day one; she has this amazing way of knowing your body's limits and responding perfectly to your needs. Her unending expertise is equally matched by her incredible personality -- please do yourself a favor and go book an appointment! read more

I went recently for a massage and soak on birthday. The staff is very nice and the house is decorated in a calming, hippie-grandma vibe. The massage was too much, though. I gave some feedback to lessen the pressure, but damn, I felt like I've been beat up after I left the Everett House. I've had other massages from other business and haven't left feeling like my muscles were bruised. If you like messages with more pressure, sounds like your kind of place! Although you can have a free soak or sauna usage on your birthday, it was a very crowded day and there seemed to be more naked men in the saunas than I felt comfortable being around while on a solo visit. Also, I KNOW it's plain when viewing their website, but this totally a "crunchy", new-age-ish sort of place. I mean, it's called a "healing center" and my masseuse kept calling the massage a "body movement"... Clothing optional saunas, crystals for healing, sauna-whisking, etc. It's a very authentic Portland vibe; if you're a Midwestern transplant like myself, it will ruffle your more rigid feathers just a little :D That said, this place has a lot of options for a relaxing environment and the staff really were so pleasant and helpful. I think I'd go back, but only for the spa/sauna, on a women-only day if I was solo. read more

Spent the weekend in Portland with my husband who had a business thing so I booked some Spa time and a 90 minute massage at the Everett House. I had been searching for a Korean spa experience similar to the one in my hometown, and this was not exactly that, but had some similar amenities so I booked it. I was a bit dubious about the co-ed/naked thing, but I have to say I was unperturbed (and I'm not a "nudist" by any means). The staff was lovely and welcoming, helpful in explaining to a new customer how things worked, and I enjoyed the whole facility--shower, hot soak, cold plunge, dry sauna and stream room. Rented a sarong and a towel (and shower shoes-BYO if you think of it!) which enables you to cover up when you feel like and I thought that the other patrons (mostly pairs of women, masc/fem couples) were respectful and minded their own business and gazes with the exception of the two twenty something women who talked nonstop in the soaking pool at full voice even after someone very gently requested that they shush. (Ladies: Hi--thanks for sharing, now I know about the guy you're sleeping with just because the sex is good and not because you like him, plus I know you're still trying to find somebody to do ketamine with, but you just can't figure it out, and yes, you DO need to quit your job--20 something problems are real!). Overall vibe was chill and facilities were in good repair, and I enjoyed a cucumber mint kombucha from the tea house. Now for the massage: having never been here before, I book a massage with the first available practitioner. After my spa time, I was greeted by Warren for my massage who brought me over to the second house upstairs in a very and quiet nice room, and asked me a few questions about preferences or off-limits or any painful areas before we started. He was extremely kind and I honestly think it was one of the best massages of my life. 10/10 no question! His pressure was amazing and the timing/length of massage for each area of my body was just right --good symmetry and no skipping over anything. He also did a few of my very very favorite things for a massage which is an extremely attentive foot massage, a great crown, scalp massage, light neck traction using a hand towel (always makes you come out feeling a little bit taller) and he was an absolute master of tucking and draping the sheets and blanket in a really comfortable way that also made me feel very safe with a male practitioner, which is not my norm. Above all, he was TOTALLY QUIET other than checking on me, and he even arranged another way to lay my arms in front of me when he could see my shoulder pain was bothering me face down. Would absolutely recommend Warren and hope to return next time I am in town. I'm a fan of this whole place. Thank you for a great relaxing day. read more

I love the Everett House! I've been visiting for years, the spa, steams, saunas and cooling off on the patio. But I recently had a massage, which utterly left me lacking. I have had other massages there that were excellent. But in this one, the therapist was a little clumsy in moving my limbs around, noisily moving around the room and a bit cold and unfriendly as I was leaving. It was overall an awkward, uncomfortable, weird vibe. Sorry E-house. I love you but I'll be going elsewhere for my massages. read more

After a somewhat clunky start trying to sign up through Everett House's mind-body app, I was able to make a spa reservation fairly quickly. The orientation was simple and complete, the facilities were clean, the pool was the perfect temperature and soothed my recently exercised muscles, the two saunas were respectively hot and steamy, the facility wasn't crowded even though I came right after a traditional 9 to 5 workday, and there is even a sweet tea house next to the soaking pool. What a gem! read more

I've kept hearing from my friends what a wonderful place this is, and we all finally got to go yesterday. I made sure to exercise and be sore to be deserving of the relaxing soak and Sanna. When I arrived around 7:30 PM on Saturday night there was a wait list of two people and it was somewhat crowded. Despite being busy the receptionist was very warm and welcoming and assured me that I will get in shortly. So Gordon made it as though the place was in a tropical island and it was fairly quiet. Inside it was a unisex shower which is mandatory to cleanse the body before going to be using any of the facility, and the demographic of people coming in were from all shapes and sizes. It was very relaxing, though after 9 pm it was strict quiet hour to be mindful of the neighbors. The steam sauna was a great experience - almost suffocating, but so worth it! Majority of places do not do steam anymore at gyms due to risk of bacteria or breaking the heating machines. Since I wanted to sweat and detox it was a wonderful amenity. It's my hope to use this facility all day during a sunny day so I can get a all over body tan. Bringing my lady friends next time! read more

A friend and I purchased a groupon for either a 90 minute float session or 60 minute float session with sauna, steam room and hot tub. We opted for the latter. We were able to get our appointments together on our day off. I took public transportation and the Everett House is a short walk from the bus stop. I arrived a little before my friend, and the staff was friendly and made me feel welcome. Once my friend arrived, we were given a short tour. The Everett House consists of 2 houses with a shared courtyard with a hot tub, plunging tubs. The outdoor area seems very serene, well actually all the spaces have that calm, serene aspect. I sort of suspected that this place was clothing optional, and my suspicion was confirmed. So, I am in the minority when wearing a bathing suit, but no one made me feel uncomfortable for doing so. I made sure to bring my own towels, I think they charge $2 or $3 for 2 towels. The float tank reminded me of a big freezer, and seemed a little daunting at first. I get quite claustrophobic, but I just got in there, intent on having myself a relaxing time. I was told that a 90 minute float session is equivalent to 8 hour sleep. Not sure if this is true, but the 60 minute session was so relaxing for me, and I definitely needed it. Prior to my appointment, I had a lot of tension in my neck and shoulders from working a lot of hours. I work 12 hour shifts at night, and I've been working a lot of overtime. After the appointment, the tension has dissipated! I waited a week to write my review, and at this writing, the tension is still gone! I loved the session so much, that I booked another session! I just wish there was a place closer to where I live. Or perhaps I should consider moving to NE Portland?? read more

This is one of my local favorites that's hard to share. This is literally my favorite luxury in the city. It's quaint set in two houses in inner NE but thought out perfectly utilizing all the space available to them. Outdoor salt water spa tub, perfect in the rain or at night you can see the stars. $ is 18 something/hour but they also offer so many other services and if utilized you typically get a discount on your spa time. They also have happy hour prices. Tip: double check the website for hours and costs as they tend to change seasonally and it's hard for other websites to keep up. The staff is always friendly, the facilities are clean and it's well worth your time and money. This is the ultimate TREAT'cho self! read more

The Everett House has been my sanctuary for the past year or two. I typically visit for spa time in their courtyard soaking pool, but today, I decided to treat myself to a massage and a soak! I arrived early so I could relax in the spa for a half hour before my massage appointment (and enjoyed another half hour after my massage, which was DIVINE!!). I was greeted with friendly faces at the front desk and the check in process was easy. The half hour spa time was extremely peaceful, which helped me loosen my muscles and get into a relaxed headspace before my appointment. The favorite part of my visit was the massage! I had a wonderful massage therapist (Lindsey Trapp) who, in an hour, gave me an indescribable amount of relief from my aches and pains. Lindsey quickly identified my problem areas like some kind of magic! She has a calming energy and made me feel extremely comfortable and safe. She listened to my needs and I left feeling like I had received some much needed healing bodywork. My back hasn't felt this good in years! read more

What a great experience! Saunas, steam room, hot tub, cold plunge, tea house, fire pit, and sun bathing. What more could you ask for? There are also showers and all the the regular things as well. The staff is very friendly and helpful, and the facilities are clean and well maintained. The entire place is designed to help you relax and be at ease. I highly recommend for anyone who wants to relax. read more

I had a positive experience here using the float tanks. You know, being new to this admittedly it was a little bit of a strange experience but the staff there was very welcoming and made me feel comfortable. After orientation in a brief tour of the tank and shower space I realized that people walking around naked is kind of what happens in this part of the spa. However, there were no creepers. Yeah the float tank was great. Shower areas clean and nice. The toilets are like right there so I would suggest keeping the relative lack of privacy in that regard in mind when choosing your lunch options... I'll go back. It's a nice 2 house complex with a chill garden area between for guests. Good spot for couples. read more

Funny that they'll charge $50 if the customer cancels within 24 hours, but when my massage is cancelled with 90 min notice, I don't get compensated! "Enjoy the spa, on us" doesn't really do much, when I took a day off of work to have some body work done. Not really interested in the sausage fest in the pool. Namaste, my ass. I also didn't sense this place was very clean. I work in environmental services, and what I don't expect to find in a professional facility are household products (Ajax powder), or a dirty squeegee (being used on the floors). They should be using a commercial-level sanitizer, and cleaning their tools with it, too. read more

One of my favorite bath houses in town. Numerous saunas, outdoor jacuzzi, with a cute little tea house in the court yard. The massage chairs and mosaic tiled showers are my favorite. Ask for Elliott, he is hospitable and very knowledgable in the benefits of meditation, sauna culture, and community. read more

Unfriendly, sarcastic and snobby staff at the front desk, I assume since they have to deal with so many people coming in and out now that the place is overcrowded. It's a shame, this used to be such a nice spot to come and soak or sweat. read more

been here many a time as one of their neighbour. The staff here are incapable of simple tasks. I left two tommy hillfiger towels accidentally in the tea room late in the evening. After leaving a voicemail (as the receptionist doesn't know how to answer a phone) I come back the next morning, not even 14 hours later to find they've been removed from lost and found and been donated to good will. What sort person donates two towels they saw their customer with the previous day? It gets worse, after asking for any sort of compensation, I'm told by a manager that I would receive none and should try better to keep track of my things. While I'm a regular at your establishment whom you are aware lives down the road and will be back to reclaim his expensive towel...namaste my arse. in light of Elliot's comment I'd like to add all the information he's managed to brandish is entirely falsified, goes to show you quite how sad this phony and failing little business is :/ read more

After 7 years in Portland I FINALLY tried this place after hearing only fantastic things about it. Nudity? With strangers? Co-ed? Ummmm...no. I was too intimidated. Today though, a girl friend of mine who is a member asked if I wanted to go, and I'd always been curious despite the intimidation issue, plus my body was exhausted after a long weekend of giving massages in my office, so I decided to be brave and said YES. I'm so glad I did!! All of the staff were great. I LOVE that they're protective about phone useage... NO PHONE USAGE WHILE IN COMMON AREAS. PERIOD! Complaining about that (as another reviewer did) is just shortsighted. This is for everyone's safety, comfort and privacy. Awesome! I never once felt awkward. I never felt stared at or uncomfortable. My friend was naked, but I kept my suit on, however within five minutes I felt completely comfortable and will definitely go sans suit next time. It's not hard to not stare at folks. Naked people of all shapes, sizes and colors everywhere! Makes you feel downright good and human and whole. Hot tub, cold tubs, wet sauna, dry sauna, lounge chairs, a fire pit, showers, lockers, and floatation tanks... Just bring two towels (one for sitting on, one for drying yourself) and a bottle of water. read more

I had a really great massage from Sara Lebeck. I appreciated the time she took to listen to my pain/muscle issues prior to the massage and focus on my needs. I had very sore hands/arms from computer work and her massage really helped relieve pain. She gave me good advice and book suggestions to help me work on the issues myself. The spa was very nice and welcoming. It was fairly empty, quiet and relaxing during my visit. I recommend bringing your own non-glass water bottle and flip flops. read more

My experience here was pleasant for the most part. My massage therapist was amazing! She made me feel so relaxed and I felt like a new person after I left the room I decided to use the rest of the facility and spa after my massage. There are signs to shower before entering the hot tub area, so I showered, but a man was behind me not showering and watched me for a minute or two. It made me uncomfortable, so I hopped out and ran to the hot tub. I could only sit there for about 15 minutes before I decided that I was just going to go home. I am not used to being at spa with as much nudity, but it was interesting. I probably will not be returning even though I enjoyed the massage read more

Gorgeous space. It feels special. I've always encountered friendly staff. Some are friendlier than others though. I've never seen or felt anything to be unclean, other than the soaking water being a little stinky on my skin, which may be normal, I'm not totally sure. The water fall hasn't been working in probably several months! For my latest visit, the jets in the soaking pool weren't working either, and a drinking fountain in the quiet space area was down too. Kind of a bummer! Especially the jets- it's an important part of the service. I love how they stress the importance of sanitation in this clothing optional spa. They recommend taking two towels with you, so one can be used to sit upon in the sauna or steam room. Some places with assume you know this, or not really care at all! Also, thanks for the women only hours! I originally posted this review with details about an experience with their lost and found system. They kindly reached out and offered to make up for the issue. I really appreciate it and that let's me know they do care about their customer's experience. read more

Love this place! Very relaxed, comfortable, safe, clothing-very-optional sauna and spa facility. Also has a semi-hot tub, steam room, outdoor lounging/sun tanning area, and a number of excellent of LMTs available by appointment. Phones are locked up at the desk on entrance to make the facility safe and comfortable from any recording. A bit hippy, in the nicest possible way. Everything is co-ed and fairly communal and quite most folks don't wear clothing, so if you do want full suit privacy, you might consider coming with your suit already on.) they are currently requiring appointments for spa usage, but there are nearly always spots open if you schedule an hour or so ahead. If you like Breitenbush or Collins beach or natural hot springs, this might be your type of place. Note it's also a no-touch space, including with people you know, to ensure the space remains nonsexual and comfortable for everyone. read more

I love the spa services here so if that's what you're reading reviews for - absolutely visit! However, I got a massage here last week and it was pretty awful. The massage therapist was wearing vinyl gloves and the gloves against my skin created a pinching effect and gave me scratches all over my body. I should've spoken up about it being uncomfortable but when I would guide my therapist on pressure they were short with me. Got the feeling they were annoyed with me every time I opened my mouth. I've had many massages so I'm familiar with how a typical session should go and my experience was not great. read more

Good place. Reminds me of the saunas when I lived in Europe. In The Alps of Europe, a group of friends thought nothing of going to a sauna and being naked, sweating, talking, relaxing, whatever. As the USA outgrows its Puritanical roots, this will hopefully be more normal! The facilities are great indoors and out and if I had any complaint it would only be against the other patrons, not the business. Once there was a person insistent on chanting mantras loudly in the sauna. Another (same??) brought essential oils from home into the steam room to diffuse for everyone. Keep Portland Weird for sure. Fortunately there is more than one sauna and plenty of room to move away from odd or particularly affected individuals. read more

This is one of my favorite places in Portland. The outdoor soaking area is just beautiful. My favorite part is the silent sauna and steam room area. Everything is always very clean. It's nice that Sunday mornings are women only and Tuesday mornings have a queer soak. Love being able to have a nice safe retreat in the heart of the city. Also the staff rules! read more

I visited Everett House for the first time today and was very impressed! I was using a Groupon that a friend gave me and so getting myself all checked in was no problem at all. I brought the Groupon up on my phone and they took care of the rest. I was there to try a 90 minute session in the float tank. Now, I'm not going to spend a lot of time on this part because the floating thing just wasn't for me. I gave it 40 minutes and got out. There was absolutely NOTHING wrong with the tank, the water, the temp, the room, or anything. It was very clean, very quiet, the room and the water were a perfect temperature and the tank itself is huge so no need to feel claustrophobic. I just found that it wasn't for me. Today. I may change my mind the next time I visit which will be as soon as possible! The rest of the facility is beautiful! Even the landscaping makes you feel like you're on a secluded private island instead of a suburban street in a bustling city. They've got a hot tub with a waterfall flowing into it that is just hot enough but not too hot which I appreciated. PLENTY of lovely places to sit and relax with a yummy tea from their new Tea House. They have several deck chairs that you can move around to make the most of the sunlight. They also have good sized claw foot bath tubs outside for soaking or rinsing off. I saw gazebos and benches covered in pillows and cute tables with chairs all over the place. Like I said, I was impressed! They also feature a dry sauna, OK, the nudity thing. It's not a big deal at all. I'll admit that I had about 2 minutes of, "Holy crap, that person is .... is naked?! I can't do that!!" But then I did. And I loved it. It's all done so tastefully and respectfully. No one giggles, no one stares, no one makes any pervy side eye glances. It's just mature and open minded individuals relaxing in their natural state. I loved the reassuring reminder that everyone is indeed created in different shapes, sizes, colors and it's all beautiful. It made me feel better about my body knowing I wasn't being judged. The staff were friendly and helpful. The instructions given for things like the float tank, the lockers, the showers etc were clear and thorough. I can't say enough about this place! A special shout out to Zoe, the front desk attendant, for making me feel so comfortable and welcome today. Even if I had paid full price for my visit today instead of using a Groupon, it would have totally been worth it! read more

This place is like heaven on earth. Hubby and I went to soak and sauna. It was so relaxing. They have multiple saunas and an outdoor soaking pool. I will be back and next time I'll get a message. read more

A mini oasis in the city. Best spot to unwind/relax! Highly recommend this place and their staff.

I frequent the Everett house a couple times a month. I would just like to say thank you to the wonderful staff members at the Everett house. Especially Kerry, she is always very helpful at the check-in and check-out Thank you read more

I love visiting Everett House whenever I'm in Portland. If I have a long layover at PDX I'll often take an uber over for a quick soak and then head back for my next flight. The hot tub is hot and the backyard setting is super quiet and peaceful. I love the seating around the gas fire pit - it's a nice place to cool down after soaking for a while. As others have noted, the locker room and changing area is pretty tight but it's no big deal. The mixed-gender clothing optional dynamic is what makes this place special. No one wears bathing suits. No one cares. Pretty even gender split. The cliental skews a bit younger than Common Ground. It's so refreshing to be able to leave any/all inhibitions at the door. There's no weirdness and you quickly remember that people come in all shapes and sizes. Two small negatives: 1) the bathrooms are right next to the shower area and the whole area is tiled and constantly wet = cold feet. If you live nearby you might want to bring sandals to make the walking around or bathroom experience more pleasant. 2) you can't make a reservation to soak; it's first come first serve so sometimes you have to wait in the small lobby for others to exit before you can go in. Unlike other folks, I've never had a tough experience with the front desk folks - they've always been perfectly lovely. I highly recommend you try Everett House - especially if you've never done the co-ed nude thing before. It's a great, safe place to lower your guard and remind yourself that we're all the same. read more

Healing house? This place doesn't give a crap about the health of its customers. Inconceivably bad customer service. I won't even go into the experience I had because it's going to ruin my day to re-live it. We had been loyal customers and looked forward to visiting every time we were in Portland. Now we will never go back. I hope this place rethinks its priorities and starts making better ethical and business decisions. read more

Love this place for the spa. Sauna, hot tub, and cold plunge are my jam. Got a massage by Zara and she is excellent. Great pressure and her ability to find certain points of tension in my neck, hands and arms let me know she really knows what she is doing. Massage followed by the spa=a really good day. read more

Honestly, I hesitate to tell people about this place, because I believe it is one of Portland's best kept secrets for everything relaxing and rejuvenating. I have regularly visited Everett House Healing Center for chiropractic, massage, and spa (sauna + hot sub soaking + relaxing by the fire) for now more than four years. Consistently, over the time I've been a customer/client, I have had lovely experiences. From the front desk staff to the massage therapists (can't choose a favorite, because they're all bomb), it is just overall WONDERFUL. Even though it is a clothing-optional spa, I have NOT ONCE had any creepy experiences. I find nothing but healing here, and I hope that it is around for the rest of my life. I think it is one of the best places for preventative health care, and I consider it an integral part of tending my well-being. read more

high pressure and sales tactics and a forgettable massage will keep me from coming back here. I did not get into the sauna or sensory tank, so i can not comment on those. I, like many others, had a groupon for a chiropractic exam, massage, and sauna. The day my girlfriend and I went in, the sauna was closed. So we got the exam and massage. at first things seemed fine, the doctor explained about the spine and how things being out of place can cause problems. We then went through some tests to determine our levels of flexibility. this is when things started going down. A few of the "tests" reminded me of parlor tricks. ones where you try to lift your leg against their hand, then move a little and have you try again. of course the amount you can move changes based on slight repositioning of their hand. it is a simple leverage game. then came the pressure. The doctor wanted to take x-rays and charge $100 for them. I declined. he checked the form i filled out and then told me that since i did not have insurance that he could knock the price down to $35. Here i declined again and he went into more of a car sales approach. i had never experienced such pressure from a doctor before. I managed to get out of there maybe ten minutes later and then went upstairs for a massage. I really can not say much about it. the room was warm, the woman who massaged me did not hurt, but really the experience was forgettable. My girlfriend did opt for the x-rays and went back the next day for the results. I did not accompany her for that visit. They did tell her to bring me with her the following day since they wanted to see her again, yes this is three days in a row. this next time i did go, and we were seen with a couple of other people. one of the girls seemed to be feeling much better and was very happy about it. of course the doctor dismissed that no one else felt anything as "normal". since it can take many visits to see any results. he then tried to sell us on one year minimum of treatment. my girlfriend and I both declined, and here he offered to do my x-rays for free and started pressuring us. after a while of saying no he then went and got the receptionist to schedule us and then left to see other patients. with the receptionist she took no for an answer and we were allowed to leave. I can not comment on the chiropractic adjustment since they wanted to do x-rays first and Iwas not wanting to do that. Now do not get me wrong. i understand some things take time, especially good holistic types of medicine. I just really do not like high pressure slimy sales and on that alone i will avoid this place for chiropractic care. read more

Oh man. I wasn't sure what to expect at Everett House, but after two visits I can confidently say that I am a huge fan. So some hippies turned two houses into a compound dedicated to wellness. It's co-ed, clothing optional (and most people opt out) and while I might describe the experience as sensual, it's decidedly not sexual or cruisy. I couldn't be happier. My first experience I went with a couple of buddies and we mostly stuck to bouncing between the massive hot tub, the ice-cold dunk tubs and the steam room. It was super relaxing, not too crowded and just all around wholly pleasant. My second experience included a massage. The guy that provided the service was cool, focusing on working the knots out of my mess of a back and shoulders rather than chatting my ear off. It teetered just on the line between pleasure and pain, but that's exactly what I wanted. He was very communicative, making sure that I was having the experience that I wanted. I felt so relaxed, and being able to follow it up with more hot tubbing and steaming was amazing. It was truly a #treatyoself moment. They'll give you a sarong for your massage, but make sure to bring flip flops and a couple of towels. They'll have them available, but it's an extra charge.
