I have been seeing Elliot for going on 2 years. Started with a bone spur issue in the hip, supplementing chiropractor and PT hoping to avoid steroid injections. Hip issues have greatly improved and I have continued regular visits to focus on aches, pains and strains of the aging process. Always leave feeling relieved and relaxed.

After not being able to get a massage for so long due to the pandemic, I finally ventured out and chose A Healing Place based on the several positive reviews online and the credentials & services offered by the establishments kind owner, Elliott. Elliott and the service he offers are everything other reviewers stated: He is easy to talk to, professional and really cares about you a patient and your individual needs. AHP is housed inside a beautiful old building that is full of warmth and relaxation. I am so glad to have found this place and I will e making future appointments with him. I had the Shiatsu massage and it was so gentle and relaxing and great alternative to a standard massage. Springfield is fortunate to have A Healing Place and Elliott.

It's a place where you can go and feel comfortable and at ease.

He's always concern about the results you will receive from the massage. He's awesome 😎

Only complaint i would have is the smell of cigarettes on breath is a bit off putting. It wasn't terrible, just distracting and somewhat unpleasant and something that could be improved upon.
Business response:
I'm so sorry about this. I normally make a point to freshen my breath before every client, whether I've had a sip of coffee, eaten or had the occasional smoke. Obviously, this didn't happen prior to your treatment. I wish you would have felt comfortable enough to say something and I could have rectified it at the time. Thanks for the feedback. And again, my apologies.

The building is very old but is being fixed up. The room and table were nice and warm.
Business response:
It's a great old building. It's actually an 1860s Lincoln-Era Italianate located in the Old Aristocracy Hill historic area of town . It will take some time to get it completely restored. Glad you found the interior warm and inviting.

A Healing Place’s new location is conveniently located. The charm it has from being in an older home is perfect for promoting a relaxed state of mind. Elliot now has more space to provide additional services that he couldn’t at his previous location.

The energy in the office is the first thing I noticed - how calm and peaceful and supportive the atmosphere was. Elliott Challandes has created a unique environment that truly promotes healing and his skill is not to be missed. He works on many levels, not just from Shiatsu but from an entire mind, body, spirit connection.

Elliott provided attentive and adaptive care during the massage in order to promote a healthier flow of blood and energy through my body. Afterwards we had some extra time to sit and discuss the effects the massage had on my body and mind. Overall it was an uplifting experience that I would recommend to anyone.

This was the BEST massage I've ever had. I have never felt so relaxed after a massage. Elliott has great touch, not too hard like some can try to do. It was relaxing and healing. I will never go to anyone else.

Elliott has a relaxed demeanor and he finds out what your current problem area is and finds a way to relieve it. Comforting pace with no jarring moves to make you tense up. He helps me a lot!!

Elliott's mannerisms and voice are very calming. I don't know enough about shiatsu to comment further on his skill. All I know is that I was pain-free for the remainder of the day.

Elliott's style is down to earth, professional, and spiritual all at the same time. He is clearly dedicated to his healing gifts. I felt more relaxed after the Shiatsu session than I have in a very, very long time.

A great experience! It's a day later and my sciatica pain is g.o.n.e. GONE. And my knee is improving greatly. I actually walked through the grocery store today -- amazed myself -- but I was able to do it with no pain. All thanks to Elliott's knowledge and technique!!

Elliott has worked wonders on my shoulder. I am also going to a physical therapist who really wasn't able to do much with me cause I was in so much pain. She could notice I had done something since our last appointment. I told her Shiatsu and she said well it is really working. My range of motion has increased tremendously.

Elliott asked good general questions about my health. He was very effective in the special work I asked him to do: I have had pain and stiffness and limited range of motion in my left shoulder for about 2 years. When I left the pain was gone and the range of motion restored.
