I went In last week abs was horribly disappointed in the process. They then offered to reschedule me with a different therapist. As I showed up the first thing she asked for was my form of payment. I explained I thought this was a replacement because of the experience I had the week before. She said no we need to pay our employees I understand that however as a potential client one would think they would correct the wrong.
I paid 130 plus tipped the other therapist 20 the week before for what I consider a mediocore session the week before. As a person who has run businesses myself this is not how you run a business! If I could give them a negative number I would. I could have gone to several other places that will give me the results I desire at less then or maybe more but worth the money. This place is horrific! Would absolutely not recommend this place!

Above and beyond service I had my second appointment today with Jessica. She's very friendly and professional, knows exactly what she's doing, and has been really helping my lower back strain. Furthermore, when I was leaving, the owner (a gentleman named Holden) happened to be there and asked us what the issue was and Jessica explained. He then asked if he could take a look too, and took spent an additional 5-10 minutes working on my back. Wonderful service, really appreciated. Thanks everyone. Highly recommend.

I've been to see Holden several times, but he most notably helped me with immense back pain I experienced during my pregnancy and he was a miracle worker! Another time I had a muscle spasm in my back (not pregnancy-related) and could barely move/breathe and he got me loosened up and moving again so quickly! Both times were emergencies and they were able to get me in same-day to stop the pain. This place is like none other!

A gifted healer. Just by looking at you, Holden can tell what's out of balance and he knows exactly how to fix it. I have scoliosis and left shoulder trauma from a car accident. I'm also a triathlete. Holden customized my treatment to target exactly what I needed to continue to train and to just feel good. He also has the best bedside manner; relaxed, chill, and a genuine want for you to be pain-free. I could not possibly recommend Holden/MetaTouch Body Balance any higher.
