Live Well Holistic Health Center

Lovely place. Massages are amazing. Great team of massage therapist. Dr. Martin is very professional and a great listener. Recently I was having horrible discomfort with my back out of no where. There were no slots available, so I called and he was willing to squeeze me in. And he actually took his time with me. Been coming here for the last 4 months.

Dr. Martin and Traci are the best, they are genuine, caring and supportive; who have your best interest in mind. Their team of massage therapists are also top notch, and the online scheduling makes booking a massage or appointment w Dr. Martin a breeze.

I like the way that Dr Martin treats my whole self. I had been searching for a holistic provider and I’ve found him. He’s given me relief for a painful shoulder that I’ve dealt with for over a year. Now he’s the first health care professional I see when something pops up. He’s gentle, compassionate and spends time with me. And most importantly, I get relief that lasts.
Add to all this that Traci is so easy going and helpful with scheduling. The whole experience is first-​rate.

Dr. Martin was a game-​changer in the wellness of both myself and my wife. We both struggled for some time with separate health issues which our doctors at the time were unable to diagnose or supply relief. Luckily, I found Dr. Martin at Live Well Holistic Health. He was so kind and helpful during our phone consultation, and I was delighted to find him that way in person as well. Through his skilled attention and deep knowledge of natural healing practices, we rooted out the cause of both our issues with his treatments. Even after we moved 2 hours away we continued to drive to the office for visits when needed –they were worth it! Anytime a friend from the Philly area tells me they’re going through some sort of health issue I encourage them to give Dr. Martin a call!

I am clearly the only person on the planet, based on every single five star review (sorry, that makes me suspicious) for Live Well, that did not have a good experience here. I agree with everyone else, Traci is a doll. I went to Dr. Martin desperate for relief while dealing with very painful esophagitis. I didn’t want to take pills, as my poor system was hyper sensitized to everything with burns in my esophogus and stomach. Alas, Dr. M said I could only heal by taking pricey supplements which just made me nauseous. I checked the supplements I was given after the fact, the one I couldn’t return is mostly used for impotence and female issues. Huh. After that, he just seemed clueless. He did do about five minutes of acupuncture on me which helped, although I found out that he might not be licensed to do acupuncture in PA, which might explain why he was so weird about it.
My last session was me lying on the table with Martin pulling on my arm, asking me to tell him my most painful memories, and then pounding on my back to free them. He had me say, «I am a good wife», although I am not married. For me this was a big waste of money, with a dash of quackery. I’m guessing Martin is a great chiropractor.
I was contacted by Traci after I wrote this review, in which she said she was very upset that I was so unhappy with my experience there. She offered to refund my money. (See owner comment below). I said that was fine, feel free to send me a check. I didn’t hear back until I wrote again and said I would amend my review if and when I received a refund to let people know that all monies were returned. I did receive a refund.

Love these guys! I was having chronic shoulder and back pain and Dr. Martin was able to get to the root cause immediately. It wasn’t just an adjustment that temporarily eased my pain. Dr. Martins treatments have the lasting results desired.
My wife is a big fan of their massages. It is the only place she will go for her prenatal massage! Wish us luck :)

New to the area, very much pregnant and was extremely sore. So decided to get a massage. My very first proper professional massage… and boy was it worth it!!! Even with the AC issue, it was worth it. They did give me discounted price cause of the heat.
Pros: Tranquil and serene ambience helps you relax immediately. They are good at what they do.
Cons: None I can think of. Massage packages and deals would have been nice but since my email was just subscribed not sure if they already do so.
I will have to admit that I was not aware of the tip norm for massages (with first massage and all) so ended up tipping on the low end, which I totally plan to make it up next time. Oh yes :-), I am already scheduled for massage just a day before my delivery due date !!!

The massage that Devorah gave me was fantastic. I’ve received many massages and this by far and it was one of the best. The room and reception area are lovely and all of the staff (that I met) are incredibly nice and professional. I will definitely be going back for more massages.

We have been lied to. We have been led to believe that massages are supposed to be for relaxation only. Pictures of beautiful women with rocks resting on their back are always part of the massage marketing plans. And while relaxation ends up being a result of a real massage, you really should be getting them for your health and well being. The Live Well Holistic Health Center folks are certainly good at addressing your issues, if you know you have them or not.
I have had 2 massages and both were great. The first was with Amit a little over a year ago. He was great at listening to what my needs were. The second was more recently with Anne Marie. Before we got started, she had me walk to pinpoint where my body was aching. Without me telling her, she was able to come up with a plan to get me back in the right shape. After our session, she sat with me and talked about how to avoid getting back to being bent out of shape. She taught me some stretches and ways to sit that I am still using weeks later. I was relaxed afterwards, but I also knew more about keeping my body happy.
After all the holiday hoopla, perhaps you will need to get your body back on track. I strongly suggest visiting the Live Well Holistic Health Center.

I know this review is a year too late, but nonetheless… This place was wonderful. At the time that I had gone, I was about 6 months pregnant. Working all day, I had been exhausted and in need of a last minute prenatal massage. I had called in, and the person quickly accommodated me. It was such a wonderful, relaxing experience. Not to mention how kind they were to me. *thumbs up*

I came here for an event last night which promised a party with massages and aromatherapy with munchies. The space itself was very serene and calm when we first came in although the event space easily filled up in the first hour or so.
As a result of being an early bird, I got to try out many of the different options they had (including the aromatherapy as well as henna and massage) as well as the tons of natural (raw oatmeal cookies and whipped cream (made from cashews) and chocolate dip (made from avocados) among other things that were available to try.
The practitioners were pretty nice, although the attendees were pretty cliquey. They also had a live band, but they were pretty much reduced to background noise.
I will, however, remember the interesting night I had until my henna patterns fade away!

Upon first arrival, you will notice how tranquil + modern the Live Well office space is. I was immediately reminded of the 50s-​60s mid-​century Danish design movement and nod towards Frank Lloyd Wright. There is a lovely central courtyard and lots of plants + stone gardens, with wood accents and sans-​serif suite numbers.
During my first visit, Dr. Martin asked for a brief history of what was bothering me, and worked to help me correct deep-​seated muscle aches in my legs, as well as overall low-​energy. I am a competitive athlete who also prefers to eat vegan, and he was able to help diagnose where my deficiencies could be coming from + sent me home with several supplements to try. After about 10 days, I feel a marked improvement in my condition + am excited to return to learn what the next steps are.
He was also able to help my girlfriend with severe stomach problems she’s been having. She’s been to many western doctors to no avail. That she has seen improvement only after two visits has me sold on his ability to help people restore balance in their bodies.
I would highly recommend visiting Dr. Martin if western medicine has not helped you, even though the office is outside the city in Ardmore. For those without a car, the R5 train is pretty much across the street.
