Their comforting presence made the entire experience positive and reassuring. I highly recommend their services to anyone seeking not just experience but a genuinely comforting and welcoming one. I am a woman in my 50s and stayed in the dorms with a variety of ages and it was the most fun I've had in ages.
You’ll never go wrong with this place! Beautiful people and place to relax!
Rachel is very kind and her massage is great. She has a healing and therapeutic touch. I highly recommend her.
There’s only one location like this. From the moment you enter the gates, you can tell there is no other property like this. Be sure to allow yourself lots of time to wander the property and truly take in some of the gardens, meditation areas, prayer gardens, even a shamanic medicine wheel.
Gorgeous property, very low key and comfortable. I love the yoga classes, workshops, massage, and beautiful nature on campus.
Absolutely love it here for everything, yoga, private sessions, and massage!
I already have recommended Heartwood to two friends. I was incredibly impressed with the facility and David. I can't speak high enough about my experience.
The grounds are beautiful and calming, the staff is friendly and welcoming, and yoga in the Pavilion is the best with experienced yoga instructors. It's a mini escape when you go to Heartwood!
I was taken into a beautiful massage room by Rachel Belle my masseuse, on the Heartwood property. I felt completely comfortable and relaxed before entering the room because the grounds made me so! Namaste ☮️
David and his place are magical! Very professional, knowledgeable and most importantly caring.

David was amazing. He was extremely attentive to the specific muscular issueI had. He has a vast knowledge of physiolgy as well as massage technique and managed to address my goals yet honored the sacared ritual of Lomi Lomi. I left the session emotionally lifted and with greater mobility than I had when I arrived, both of which increased the following day.
I will most definitely return again

A “massage” is an understatement, Rachel provides a personally customized, full body treatment consisting of: stretching, cupping, reflexology, breathing and meditation, Rachel takes the time to truly understand what your body needs, then has the experience and passion to heal the body and the mind.

Rachel Belle is a gift! she has magical healing hands and a voice of a Angel that completely relaxes you. As she massages your body with a tender touch I had a (Swedish massage) her hands get hot which soothe the muscles and soul.

Truly a gift to those who need these type of services for pain relief, and also for those who simply want to relax and enjoy the wonder of total relaxation. Truly amazing ! --Diane

The grounds are beautiful and thoughtfully designed. The instructional materials are well organized and the classes are well timed for the energy of adult learners. The instructors were all knowledgeable about the deeper work yoga offers. I found the training to be transformational, as I worked through the Yamas and Niyamas, and I have been discovering my own practice. I highly recommend this training to anyone interested in teacher training or personal growth.

This is a great place to go to, to take a break and enjoy a quality massage, tailored to your needs. David’s room is serene and quiet, without overwhelming Essential Oils/perfume smells (something of high importance for hyper sensitive people like me! ;-)). To prolong the relaxation feeling a little longer, you can take a walk in the gorgeous Chakras Gardens, or go sit on a swing surrounded by huge bamboo trees. A lovely experience, from start to finish. Highly recommended. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

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.

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.
