Healus Center

Got my Groupon and booked two appointments with this place sight unseen. I needed cranial sacral work, or so said my chiropractor. The building was easy to find (by Piatti) and the set up is small and homey, but welcoming. The day I was there, there were brownies and tea!
Terez Toneff gave me some amazing work, she’s highly skilled in cranial sacral work and I was floating off (not asleep, but certainly not awake either) right away under her skillful touch and I stayed in this la-​la, dreamland for about 90 minutes. I wish I had the right words to describe the experience-​floating, relaxing, resting. Trust me, it was great! I felt so refreshed and calm afterwards! I am so glad I found Terez and will be back after my two Groupon treatments!

I developed constant neck pain after an athletic maneuver in February After months of annoyance and pain an MRI confirmed deterioration in my spine and neck area. A friend reminded me of Jocelyn, who i had visited some 30 years ago.
My several sessions were beneficial, but not the pain relief I sought.
i decided to try some western intervention consisting of nerve blocking. While waiting for this appointment… I realized my neck pain was gone. I was so use to it that I didn’t even know it. Other minor body aches had kept my mind busy.
I am 100% neck pain free.
Thank you Jocelyn.

This modality of massage is great if you have sciatica. I walked pain free for 4 days for the first time since last June.

I absolutely agree with everything said in all other reviews below. I just want to add that my body therapist is Karen, and she is AMASING!!! I see her once a week and I am waiting eagorly for these treatments. Every time she tries something different. She analyzes my body and its response and reprogrames my body to be more flexible and without pain. She really performs magic! It is impossible to describe the methods and techniks, it is beyond my understanding, but it is something about allignment between your brain and body. I just know that it woorks wonders! Karen, thank you so much for your help! I feel so much better. I listen to my body and I am surprised that my pain is almost gone. I can’t wait to see you again after I am back from my vacation!

I’ve spent over $ 7,000 in one year at Healus and it was worth every penny of it!

I came to the Healus Center looking for help with a calf injury that was healing very slowly. After my first session with Jocelyn, I skipped down the boardwalk! Her intuitive and healing presence and hands really turned around my recovery and I am very thankful and grateful to her and the Healus Center. I bought one of the packages offered so I can continue to see her for «tune-​ups» that seem to improve my movement, flexibility and strength with each session. I can’t wait for my next session!

When I came to Karin Winter at Healus I was in acute hip pain and thinking surgery was my only option. After a few NeuroMuscular Reprogramming (NMR) treatments I could finally see a path to healing my hip and avoiding surgery. I continued weekly visits to Karin for several months and regularly did her prescribed exercises. Through Karin’s work I healed my hip as well as my spirit. She kept me on the road of hope and steady progress. Karin is a scientist and has great analytical gifts. She provided insightful diagnoses and performed treatments that got results, when other treatments I tried had failed. She is also an artist in terms of understanding the deeper body. With her heart and empathic skills, she taught me to trust my body’s messages, and specifically to listen to what my hip was «telling» me. Karin is a true miracle worker and I can’t recommend her highly enough. Her skills, wisdom and care are without peer. I credit her for healing my hip and also bringing me back into my body in an even a better way than I was before my injury. Karin is a gift to the world. She is not only incredibly well trained, she has taken NeuroMuscular Reprogramming to a new level and is a master of her craft. Karin and I, working together, healed my hip. She changed my life in ways I never expected and all for the better.

I can’t express all my sincere appreciation and gratitude to Roe. She is a great professional with big heart and the kindest hands. I will never forget our session. After 60 minutes of stress reduction with Roe, for the first time in a long time I was sleeping like a baby. My traumatized body full of pain feels lighter and is able to relax. Pain is gone. I can deeply breath, I feel inner harmony and happiness again. I can create… I am reminded that I am alive, happy, free and beautiful thanks to great healers like Roe around me. I wish for everyone to meet these people in your life. Thank you, Roe from all my heart for this help in the difficult time. I will dedicate my next creative colorful painting to You!

DO IT. The techniques used at Healus have changed my life. I’m a tennis player, and also use a computer daily, and was having nagging injuries resulting from both. I’m not going to give up either, so I need maintenance like my car needs regular tune-​ups. I’ve seen Brad for 5 appointments and could not be happier with the results. Every time I’m at Healus, I notice another client sounds like I do, where they say it’s a miracle for them. If there were more than 5 stars, that’s what I would choose.

I am a machine. A machine that grinds and pushes and defies the laws of gravity and aerodynamics when I’m at my peak performance.
I am as active in my dancing/​teaching as most athletes are, and when I’m going full force I teach 13+ classes a week with an additional 5 hours or so in training with a company I perform with. That’s roughly 20 hours during the week where my body is moving. Up, down, across the floor, upside down — you name it, my body does it.
But, like any machine, I need a little oil and tune-​up every now and then. I’ve received two Neuro Muscular Reprogramming sessions with Karin and have walked out of there both times actually feeling better, which doesn’t happen all that often. After just the first session I felt some relief of the chronic symptoms I experience which are associated with the asymmetrical muscular dysfunction, strain and pinching of my mild scoliosis which causes not so mild symptoms that can range from mild to severe depending on various conditions like the weather, stress, injury and the position I sleep in.
I had a successful second session with Karin after my neck/​shoulder girdle flared up recently. Karin is super intuitive and a natural healer. Her knowledge of the musculature and anatomy is superb, and her hands are super strong. She integrates basic breath work, relaxation and visualization techniques into the session also where appropriate, which gently helps the muscles to relax and subsequently release. While I am sure she works with each client’s own level of comfort, she was able to work successfully and deeply with my body to release muscles which have been problematic for me since my flare up began.
I’ve received body work and various treatments over the course of my lifetime, including massage, acupuncture, healers, rolfers, and chiropractors. But, the NMR sessions have felt like the most useful and efficient treatments I’ve received. I’ve gone ahead and invested in my body and well-​being by purchasing a group of sessions so I can receive treatments consistently over a period of time that makes sense to actively address the acute condition of my issues. The best money I’ve spent all year, for sure and I’m worth every penny!

After a concussion and bodily injury from a car accident, I received services from the Healus Center for a year and a half. I began my treatment with Jocelyn, saw a couple of other practitioners at the center, and then had the remaining treatment from Jackie B. I can highly recommend that anyone and everyone try the magnificent healing services that supervisors Jocelyn and Jackie provide.
In addition, Roe in administration did a fantastic job of managing paperwork required for my insurance claim as well as coordinating with the providers on scheduling information and notes.
Jackie and Jocelyn at the Healus Center provide true healing on the physical and energetic levels. I highly recommend them and am so thankful to have received their services.

Where do I even start…
I have known Jocelyn as both, my teacher and the ONLY bodyworker I go to since the beginning of January 2013.
Not only her style of work has influenced my own work tremendously (better say, changed it forever). But she also was able to dial in to my body-​mind in such depths, that no one (including myself) was able to go to.
I am not just talking muscle. I am talking about uncovering and healing the years of stress, that had been the underlying cause of most of my muscular problems.
I will be forever grateful for having my path crossed with Jocelyn‘s. What a blessing!

As well as being a student of Jocelyn Olivier’s work, I am also a client. Jocelyn is one of the best bodyworkers on the planet and her staff are very good as well. From subtle energetics, to deep tissue, to spinal unwinding, to belief systems, to nueromuscular reprogramming, Jocelyn holds a storehouse of tools and intuition to help a person heal. After partial motor nerve loss in my right hand, Jocelyn has been tremendous in helping me to heal. I highly reccomend Healus and Jocelyn Olivier to students and anyone seeking healing.

A Miracle. The pain is GONE. I am in awe of the expertise that flows through Jocelyn Olivier’s heart and hands. More than a year and a half ago, I flipped forward off a horse that bolted. I spent thousands of dollars and hundreds of hours working with the top doctors and chiropractors to relieve the intense pain that radiated from the left side of my sacrum. Sleeping on my side hurt. Driving a car hurt. Yoga hurt. I began to think the pain would always be there. One two-​hour session with Jocelyn and — not only is the pain gone — I can feel my body is back in balance, I feel as if my body now has the alignment it needs to heal the injury. The session was nothing short of amazing. I am forever grateful. Jocelyn knew exactly where to go and exactly what to do to put me back together. I LOVE YOU JOCELYN.

Several years ago, dealing with the joint and spine pains earned by years as a former athlete (gymnast) and a motorcycle crash that pretty much threw my body out of symmetry, I saw Jocelyn Olivier, who turned out to be an extraordinary «bodyworker» to use the generic term, that I’ve known, and I’ve experienced the work of many excellent massage therapists, physical therapists, deep-​tissue, Rolfing, Hellerwork, and other such modalities.
Some people have good hands that just know where the ouch is but Jocelyn also has that «x-​ray» vision and insight and education not only to really see what’s wrong, but to treat the body holistically, and most important of all, she gets results. Lots of bodywork feels good during, and even after, for a day or two. But Jocelyn, in my experience, knew how to actually get lasting results.
As with many master practitioners, she was drawn to teaching, with the same clarity and vision, and then opened the Healus Center, applying those high standards to a center where she could train others and reach more people, and do more good. That’s why I’m giving five stars to Healus Center.

After a year of increasing lower back pain, the pain-​free time had almost ceased to exist. Diagnosed by MRI with 6 compressed discs and stenosis, I was not having a satisfying quality of life. On the recommendation of a friend– she’d had a painful hip for three months, went for ONE session, and never needed to return — I made an appointment for a free ½ hour evaluation with Jocelyn. I came in with pain that was about 7 – 9 on a scale of 1 – 10. She pressed here and there, pulled here and there, muscle tested, and it was all very mysterious to me, having had regular massages, but never gone to a body worker. I was shocked that over the next four days my pain had diminished to between 2 – 4! Over the past 6 months or so, In addition to Jocelyn, I’ve seen two other practitioners at the clinic and my pain has dramatically decreased. Sometimes I have no pain until very late in the day which I can control with pressure exercises (brain buttons), and last week I had two days with no pain at all. I’m really thrilled — I didn’t want to be living the way I was six months ago. A word about «brain buttons» — given this exercise to eliminated pain when it occurred, I remained a skeptic, until I began using it. I press in certain areas (very simplistic description) and after about a minute, back pain ceases. I was visiting my sister who came into the kitchen bent over — «back hurts» she said. I asked if she wanted to try the «button», and after about a minute, she walked around the kitchen, «pain is gone» — she was pretty shocked, as am I. Thanks to Jocelyn and the practitioners at HealUs
for a dramatically improved quality of life! Try it! with a ½ hour free evaluation by Jocelyn, you’ve nothing to lose, except your pain.

This place is an extraordinary find – head and shoulders above the store front style massage establishments. Here you can find a range of services from low cost work by recent graduates to seasoned professionals with decades of experience. I have been worked on by several people at Healus (as well as at the school clinic which is run by the same people) and had great therapeutic massage with lasting results. The setting is professional, the front desk staff polite and efficient and the NMR work (Neuro-​Muscular Reprogramming) is amazing stuff. I regularly get NMR work done which had profoundly changed my gait and posture. I cannot recommend this place more highly!

I had a session yesterday at the Healus Center for NMR (Neuromuscular Reprogramming). I still feel like a completely different person from this session. It’s quite remarkable the way this work helps so much with achey or painful muscles. My neck feels much better as well & my range of motion has improved a great deal. To top it off, I slept better than normal last night.
I was involved in a pretty bad snowboarding accident 19 years ago which resulted in whiplash & trauma to tailbone. I consider myself a very good critic when it comes to bodyworkers of any sort after all these years of dealing w/​chronic pain. It’s very important to me that I see results that produce positive change.
The Healus Center also has highly skilled Cranial Sacral Therapists. I had nerve pain going down both arms & into my hands. I tried so many different modalities before this & of course, medical doctors get lost in tests & more tests ($$$) that show nothing. After my first session, the nerve pain vanished for 2 days. Each session prolongs this impact. I’m so happy about this.
I can’t say enough positive things about this center & their practitioners other than if you are having any type of pain issue w/​your body or if you’d just like to have a fabulous massage, check it out!

At the age of 22 I already had a debilitating injury to my back from shoveling snow. I couldn’t snowboard, run, or even exercise. I was in pain most of the time. It was very depressing. Jocelyn Olivier and her associates at the Healus center overhauled my body and put it back together so that it works. The results and how fast it worked are amazing! I’m pain free most of the time now. NeuroMuscular Reprogramming along with some chiropractic adjustments and my own conditioning program have given me back my life again.

If you are having any kind of an issue with your body or just want to do some really great self-​care, this is the place to go. They offer many different types of body work and can help with most problems. You will be amazed at the technique and knowledge of these workers. I have shoulder pain and loss of range of motion. After just one session, the pain was greatly reduced and my range of motion improved. It really works. I encourage anyone who has issue with their muscles, pain or movement to go see them.
