Amazing staff and Docs. The accupuncture, cupping and stretch services resolved my back issues and tightness in my shoulders. It's incredibly convenient having all of these services in one spot. Thank you for getting me healthy.

FALSE ADVERTISING. I ordered a massage table from them Tuesday, $599.99, I receive an email Thursday saying sorry we cancelled your order the table is out of stock. Wait what in todays time a website allowing me to order something that is not in stock. OK no issues. Then I check their site Friday and the table is in stock and the price jumped to 899.99. Pretty Shitty Desmond, Pretty Shitty business person.
I get it if the price changed, just let your customer know, but this is not the customers issue just because you cannot keep your database updated for your website. What would have happened if I came in the shop and bought it? would you have chased me down to get the table back? Terrible service.
