This place has a great array of Health Foods, they even had a kombucha bar too. Prices here were really high which is the only drawback about coming here.

It's very quiet since it doesn't seem like a lot of people shop here either but it's worth checking out!

Sarah always asks if there are any particular areas of my body that need attention and typically it's my neck and shoulders from sitting at a desk all day. After a massage from Sarah, I feel like a new person! Sarah is also sensitive to my lower back issues and ensures I'm comfortable at all times making sure she is not using too much pressure. Sarah is always professional and easy to talk to. She keeps up to date with new massage techniques and shares her vast knowledge of overall wellness. She creates a relaxed atmosphere with low lighting, a warm table & soft music and offers aromatherapy massage as well. Sarah frequently runs "specials" on some of the different types of massages she offers as well as a repeat-customer punch card that helps with the budget-minded like me! I confidently give Sarah 5 stars. She is outstanding!!

I stopped in because Family Health Center appeared to be a locally-owned vitamin shop. I try to…read moresupport local businesses when I can. The shop is less of a vitamin shop and more of a healthy living spot. The selection appears to extend well beyond supplements. I went here to refill on my daily supplement. The employee directed me towards the particular spot in the store, where only one brand was available. She appeared knowledgeable about the brand and manufacturing process. However, when I inquired further about the manufacturing standards and verifications, she was unable to answer. I only purchase supplements that have been verified for nutritional content, absorption, and safe manufacturing practices. There are two major laboratories that conduct independent testing. I inquired about both of these labs by name to the employee, but she was unaware of any verification labs that existed or that the supplements underwent testing. I am well aware that the FDA has little to no regulatory power over supplements, but independent testing is available for any brand to confirm that their product is genuine. Bottom line, the supplement line carried by Family Health has not been independently tested. I would not recommend purchasing from them. On the other hand, Family Health offers a wide array of health services and seminars for the new age medicine enthusiast. If you are into herbal remedies and non-traditional medicine, Family Health is right for you. If you just need some vitamins or supplements, find someplace else.

I have mixed feelings. I used to enjoy a smoothie from OR but I agree with the reviews about the…read morepoor service times and staff being TOO "chill." Most visits take far too long, especially if there is more than one customer. The employees act as though they believe that the customers have unlimited time so they will chit chat or lallygag. This is a service based business so there needs to be a balance between "friendliness" and timeliness. I realize it's not a fast food joint but no one wants to wait 10-15 minutes for a smoothie or to simply pay for stocked items. This is the reason I don't shop here frequently anymore.
