David did a careful assessment of my doshas, based on a customized questionnaire, which I appreciated. He was also very responsive to my questions about local Ayurveda resources. The space was clean and comfortable, I felt in good hands.

David is an amazingly talented masseuse. I work way too many hours and my shoulders are solid knots and I suffer from migraines. He worked all of the knots out and offered to show me some yoga workouts that would relieve my migraines. I feel truly fortunate and blessed to have found him. I'm on a wellness path now that I am most grateful for. I have had fantastic massages for 25 years but this was the best I've ever experienced. He is truly multi talented.

Amanda was absolutely the best! Not only was she able to recommend what I needed based on what I shared with her, but she also went above and beyond to make me feel amazing. I’m booking another appointment with her immediately!

You did a wonderful job noticing my daughter being very anxious for her first ever massage. She has terrible anxiety and social anxiety so for her to go through this process did cause some extra prior. You went above and beyond to help ease and guide her through the process. She came home very pleased! Thank you so much!

Took her time to work on my problem area, her work on on my back, arms, or legs was appreciated as well. Didn’t leave out my hands or feet either…

I would tell my friends to promote this kind of healing for their teens and kids! I wish we would of sooner! The place is magical. Go enjoy the grounds while you wait or after your session!

The staff are professional, welcoming and lovely … and the atmosphere is other-worldly in the best sense - like stepping out of all the real time hub-bub. The brochure and photo’s on line are much ‘glossier, high end’ looking, whereas the experience is a little more ‘funky’. Very cool place overall.

Let me tell you ..... I have had fabulous massages in 5 star spas all over the caribbean and none could have topped this massage. David was by far the most talented, most knowledgeable and professional masseuse I have ever had the pleasure of encountering. I will be there at least once a month from now on! I left feeling 1000% rejuvenated that I went to my office and rewrote my client presentation. Thank you David.

I have had many massages over the past 20 years and I must admit that I was leery about a male masseuse. David put my mind at ease right away. He is professional, knowledgeable, and has a kind and vibrant spirit. I'll be going back once a month.
