I saw Maria for some acupuncture and she helped me with chronic low-energy, and a "pickleball"…read moreelbow (tendonitis). She has a powerful healing touch and I felt very at ease and comfortable in her care. She has many years of experience and is very grounded, wise, and compassionate in her approach. My "chi" energy was restored after a few short weeks of working with her and she eased the pain in my elbow significantly. Yay! Pickleball here I come!

Maria is a conscientious, resourceful, and caring practitioner. One of the aspects I appreciate the…read moremost about her is her passion and skill for interpreting 5-Element philosophy for the layperson. This helps me as the patient to understand and integrate the treatment, as well as care for myself between treatments.

Fantastic HEATED spa beds - so thick and comfortable, with knee rolls - my body felt like it was floating. In fact, I do think I had an out-of-body experience as my shoulders, face and feet were massaged, its called HEAVEN. Why had I waited so long? No idea. The entire place is extremely well appointed with comfortable furniture, soothing colors and music, no skimping anywhere. Both Darlene (my original facial person) and Missy, my most recent facial person, are beyond great. Seriously, the Signature European Facial - died and gone to heaven. Facials aren't the only thing they do. They offer massage, salon treatments such as lash tints, and waxing. It's tucked behind Tree House Café in Lynwood.

At the end of the massage, she used hot stones, a warm "rolling pin", hot towel, and finished with a soothing oil infused with cinnamon, lavender, chamomile, and some other stuff.

Lisa Sullivan is a truly gifted massage therapist (bodyworker). Her talents have come with years of…read moreexperience, rigorous medical training, and a natural gift for intuitive touch. I went in thinking I would have a typical Swedish massage with just about 3-minutes focused on my neck and shoulders and walked out feeling deeply relaxed/relieved within (and between!) every muscle and joint. Like a deep-sea diver, Lisa finds the hidden treasures and brings them out of hiding for special attention. I cannot recommend her enough though I recommend getting on her schedule soon. I say, "Once her client, always her client." I can hardly wait until my next appointment!

Well, I've found the best in Aryana Hartwell, LMT of Waivess! I kid you not, I've never had a better full-body massage in my life. I'm only 54 but my body has not been my friend lately; it's been especially sore especially my neck and shoulders and in a daily way, I fee racked with lower back spasms. Aryana is a seasoned expert with lots of experience. I feel great and can't wait to make another appointment to see if I can continue to make progress. Aryana is strong and gentle, as needed.

Dr. Kay and team literally saved me…read more I have a very bad back (multiple surgeries on it and a lot of pain) I was getting debilitating migraines every week until I started going here. Dr. Kay started working on my back, neck, and TMJ (which I didn't even realize I had) and I have never felt better. I think the whole team is well trained and Dr. Kay can intuit exactly what to do to relieve pain and tension. It is like MAGIC how much better I feel when I leave. And everyone there from being checked in to the massage therapist to the chiropractor all make you feel seen.
