I received a Christmas gift certificate from my boss for a 1 hour massage and an add-on raindrop…read moretreatment at Balance Healing Center. This was my first time coming to this center and getting a full body massage. From the moment I stepped into the center, I immediately felt calm, soothed and welcomed. The entire center has an element theme. There's a room named air, fire, earth, wind and water. There's dimly lit lighting, the scent of incense in the air, crystals all around, and soothing music playing. My massage therapist was Kristine. She was very friendly and put me at ease right away. I took a minute to fill out a new patient sheet and she discussed any medical conditions or anything that I wanted to focus on. She gave me a tour of the center and then we began my treatment. The raindrop treatment was awesome! She dropped (8), I think, essential oils down my spine, then covered them with a warm damp towel and let them soak in, meanwhile she began my massage. Kristine was excellent!!! She always made sure that I was comfortable and that nothing was too painful. The raindrop treatment helped to loosen up my muscles and also acts as a detox. It was very refreshing, even though I smelled like a "pizza" after wards. Haha...I think one of the oils was oregano. I had my massage yesterday and today I actually feel pretty darn good. I've been in constant pain the past 2 weeks due to fibromyalgia, and the massage and raindrop treatment truly helped me! I can't wait until my next treatment! Overall, this place is awesome. They offer more than just massage. They do traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture, ear candling, and reiki. They even have an infared sauna and do all kinds of body wraps and such. There's also facials, waxing and eyelash extensions. Check out their website for a full list of all they do! Aimee, the owner, is sweet and soooo knowledgeable and helpful. Please take a moment for yourself and call the Balance Healing Center. You will be thankful you did!

I was blown away from my first appointment with Teri. She has such a calm and gentle demeanor and took the time to first listen and then ask me SO MANY questions, but all with purpose so she could start categorizing symptoms to come up with a treatment plan for me. I have never in my life felt more heard and cared for in an appointment like this. I have been working w her for a few months to help support other treatments from my doctor. I thought I was going in for acupuncture but what I got was so much more. She offers other Traditional Chinese medicine modalities but she also provides such a safe and calm space to relax into, something I have really needed while navigating my overall health and wellness at this phase of my life. I also appreciate how she validates what I feel at my core and motivates me to keep digging for answers and not just settle when I know things are feeling off. I cannot recommend Teri enough and am so grateful to be under her care!

I've done so much to try to help this chronic pain and honestly have been feeling hopeless. Three sessions with Ardath gave me hope that I can heal and return to all the activities I love again. She is an incredibly intuitive and gifted healer. I was able to release so much during her sessions and now feel so much lighter and filled with hope for the first time in months. I only wish I lived closer so I could see her all the time! I've recommended her to all my close friends and family in the area. Thank you, Ardath!

Ardath is a top tier healer and a complete gem of a person. When I came to her, I had spent…read morethousands of dollars on physical therapy and my condition only got worse. I had nerve pain and burning down my whole leg, hips that have long been out of alignment, and had never gotten the postpartum support I needed to fully heal after labor. It took commitment to her slower, deeper methodologies of bodywork and healing, but after only a few months literally EVERYTHING felt better. The nerve pain has COMPLETELY gone away at a point when I was loosing all hope. I have started exercising again and I feel like I have my life back! I have recommended her to anyone who will listen. She will change your life. There are really not many out there who are true healers. Do yourself a favor and invest in her services now, before you spend your money on medical services that provide support directed at symptoms rather than treating the root cause.

Lisa Alvarez is a highly knowledgeable and compassionate healer who refreshes her practice with…read moreresearch proven, ongoing, cutting edge holistic training. Plus, her clinic is as relaxing as a spa: I feel soothed the minute I step inside! Upon separate occasions, Lisa greatly helped me recover quickly from two knee replacement surgeries as well as a hip fracture from a serious fall. Furthermore, her cutting-edge, e-stem acupuncture has been immensely healing, much more effective than dry needling. In fact, my physiotherapist told me I healed very quickly and he always found his clients who use acupuncture heal more quickly. In addition, Lisa provides other organic supplements, holistic therapies as well as topical pain relievers. These have been key for not only for my illness / injury recoveries they have helped me remain healthy as well as feel and look youthful. When Lisa opened Healing Foundations, I had been seeing another acupuncturist for over ten years. After seeing her, Lisa soon became the acupuncturist my I recommend to all my friends.

I recently returned for a 90 minute massage with Tony after 1 year since my last (and first…read moremassage). My first experience with Tony was awesome and unlike any other massage experience I've had! This visit exceeded my last one! The massage area is really cool and eclectic with every square inch covered with messages, chimes, lights, sounds that call in good energy into the space. It would be hard to imagine not feeling immediately calm in the space. We sat down to chat briefly before my service and I was invited to pull a tarot card and read about its meaning before we began. It resonated with my current situation. My actual massage experience was multi-faceted and multi-modal. Tony guided some parts with a guided meditation, and at some points assisted breath work for deeper releases. I honestly don't want to spill the beans with all of the special treats that come along in this massage experience so that other therapists aren't tempted to co-opt the approach! I think the benefit of Tony operating out of his own facility is that he can control how and what he offers in his service offerings without having to follow a cookie cutter approach for exactly the same thing for every customer! Definitely recommend trying his services and I will return!

He has been a touchstone for my healing journey, and I've been seeing him weekly for years. I am not a person who normally feels comfortable with people touching my body, but Neale is not a typical massage therapist. He asks insightful questions and really listens to the answers I give, providing space so he can learn more about what is going on in my life that will inform his care. He has a very, very wide array of modalities in his toolbox and he is constantly learning more. Just a few of the modalities are sound healing, reiki, massage healing, massage, chakra readings, aromatherapy, reflexology, lymphatic drainage, craniosacral therapy, deep tissue massage, myofascial release, and accupressure. He blends these seamlessly in sessions. He also attends trainings on a regular basis, expanding his repitoire, and keeping his skills very sharp. Neale is a trained musician, and as sound healing is my favorite modality and something that is not commonly found, he's truly been a blessing. He's very knowledgeable about many related methods of self-care one can practice outside of his sessions, and shares this information generously, taking the time to send resources via text. This includes (but is not limited to) suggested products to ground, poses to release tension, and general information. He goes above and beyond during session and even between sessions. I recommend him without any reservations. What are you waiting for? Book an appointment with Neale today!

Nothing equaled that first visit with Neale. He was a Godsend. He immediately made me feel safe. He knows how to adjust intensity and use various strokes to maximize the effectiveness of his work. I am a healthcare provider and dont want just soft talking and empathetic tones. I want it all. Neale is impressive in his knowledge of anatomy, physiology, functional medicine and wholistic care. He uses a wide-range of modalities balanced by my needs, comfort and feedback He has an incredible demeanor and is quite intuitive. He is engaged and always gives 100%. As a woman, I feel totally comfortable with him. My brother, a committed runner, also had visits with him. He reported that Neale made him comfortable though he never had a male massage therapist before. MY brother agreed with me that Neale gave the lifetime best massage He is part of the care team that I have used to avoid back surgery for multiple herniated discs. He has improved the quality of my life physically and emotionally. I cannot recommend Neale enough. Dont go anywhere else.
