Partners In Healing Health And Wellness Center

I used a Groupon to do a Sudatonic Body Wrap. It was AHHH-​MAZING!
Patricia was extremely nice and informative about expectations for a first timer. Pat is a naturally bubbly and caring person. She genuinely cares about all her clients wellness and is serious about what she does. She was honest about what my expectations and did not try to sell me on anything else.
I decided to use the Sudatonic Body Wrap for cleansing and joint pain.
PROCEDURE:
Each session is 35 minutes. You step into a one time use plastic body bag, you can apply the lotion which is to help you sweat more. You then lay on the heating blankets, Pat covers you up and plays soft music as you slowly heat up. As you quietly lay there warming up, you will feel sweat/​perspiration forming all over your body. The first 25 minutes are for heating up, of this the last 10 minutes is when it feels like a turkey in the OVEN. It will get so hot that you feel like you are in a humid jungle. After 25 minutes, the heating will stop and you enter the cool down period, YAH! Pat will continuously check on you throughout the entire process. After I finished cooling down I stepped off the table and looked like I went swimming. Pat gave me fresh clean towels to dry my skin. I then changed into dry clothing.
RESULTS:
I have noticed my skin feels tighter and my body/​joints are more responsive at work. I have a job where I’m on my feet all day so this is helping. I love how my body feels so refreshed after each session, like I did a serious workout minus the stinky sweat. I prefer using the lotion prior to entering the body wrap, although some people like to use it afterwards.
I’ve completed three sessions and I plan to buy more for regular maintenance.
LOCATION:
Well I’m from NYC so this is a nice quiet town. The actual place is located on the ground/​basement floor of a building that has many medical suites. I usually come in early Saturday morning when its very quiet. So I’ve rarely seen other people around except Pat and maybe another client she is treating. The rooms and waiting area are all kept very clean and comfortable. I will mention the walls are somewhat thin so you can hear people in the other offices but its not loud enough to be disruptive.
TIPS: Drink lots of water/​fluids prior to every session. Wear a swim suit during the body wrapping session and bring a change of clothes.

I was fortunate enough to grab this real cool deal on GROUPON where you get 3 swedish massages for $ 115 and that was hard to pass up. I had my first session recently and here is what my experience revealed.
At first Patty and I kept playing phone tag until we finally connected and it was great. Great lady. Great personality and a heart of gold. Shows real concern for her clients and definitely puts them first.
It’s by appointment only and because it’s only her, if she is with a client you will have to leave a voice mail and she will definitely get back to you.
There is also a form that you must fill out if it’s your first time visiting and those forms can be found on their website. I had done my form ahead of time in order to save some time. They are also closed Wednesdays and Sundays. but is open 1 day a week a little later than normal hours. I am not sure if there was parking in the back of the building, but there is street parking (when you do find one).
Before my session she had called and said that she was running a little late and that I thought she went beyond what she had to. I did appreciate that she did that.
Upon arrival I was greeted with a big smile and a pleasant person. We chatted a bit about my form and then we made our way back to the massage room. My first impression upon walking in, was more like a regular office. It didn’t have the feel of a «spa» which technically it isn’t, but the atmosphere was ok. No candles, nothing scented or no aromatherapy. Not saying that every place should be set up the same way, but should feel like you are in a place to get healed and feel great.
The place was clean. Sheets and the massage room was also good. One thing, which is major for me, is to have the room with as little light as possible and that wasn’t the case. Patty says she likes working in natural light. Even a slightly darker shade would have been good. Also, she massages sitting down because she has a slight back injury and can’t stand for really long periods. I think that takes away from getting the full effect of the pressure coming from her hands to make it feel more effective.
I had the mood/​tranquil music while getting my massage, but my biggest turn off with this experience was, Patty talked all through my massage. It’s fine to ask me if I’m ok or if I am comfortable or if what she is doing is fine or needs a lil more pressure… but it was literally like carrying on a full blown conversation. I hope that my next 2 sessions will be more therapeutic rather than being social butterflies :-)
She did a couple of things that other spas or massage places didn’t and I felt that was cool and definitely much more comfortable. While lying in your stomach, she places 2 comfy pillows on either side of your «girls» elevating your shoulders a lil making it a lil more comfy for your neck/​head area and your «girls» Also while on your back, she places a lil bigger pillow under your knees so it takes the pressure off your lower back and one under your head/​neck which also lessens the strain there as well. That was really, really good. :-)
I love her. I think she is great and a very pleasant person and my massage was a good one. I am looking forward to my next as we will be working on some points that really need it. I am looking forward to it and can’t wait.
Thanks Patty! You are a wonderful person.

I was in excruciating pain. I didn’t have an appointment but when Partners In Healing returned my call, Patty agreed to see me right away because of the amount of pain I was in. The therapy session was like a visit to the dr. She was completely professional but also extremely caring. She applied the perfect amount of pressure to loosen my back and neck and checked in with me frequently to make sure I was ok. Patty even made some valuable suggestions about what I could to reduce or manage the pain, should it return, between appointments. I am so glad I found her!
–client & friend for life

Had back pain for a little while and shoulder pain decided to get a massage and was glad I did staff was amazing massage was great highly recommend.

They don’t care about customers. Once they get their money, they forget about you. Don’t buy groupons for this business. It is extremely difficult to get the appointment as no one picks your call, very frustrating experience. You leave a voicemail, no one even cares to return customer calls. Worst customer service ever. Don’t be fooled again. They even redeem your groupon without providing the service

I purchased a Groupon to take my teenage daughter to Partners in Healing for her very first massage. My husband had already had a positive experience with this business (also with a Groupon). From my initial telephone contact with Patty, the owner, the customer service was excellent. Patty made my daughter feel very comfortable. She is warm, down to earth and has a wonderful sense of humor. Because my daughter is a minor she also had me remain in the massage room. I’ve been going for massages for years and I could tell by observing Patty that she is very skilled. She really takes the time to understand what your individual needs are-​relaxation, pain relief etc. My daughter has been experiencing back pain so after consulting with Patty we opted to have her focus on the back area rather than doing a full body massage. My daughter felt much better after the massage. Please note that Patty also has specialized training in working with individuals undergoing cancer treatment, which doesn’t surprise me, as she is skilled in creating an environment that is both physically and emotionally safe.

Patti stayed late last night so I could make my appointment, because I was in soo much pain due to the excessive snow lately. I could not thank her enough, she was very kind and caring. I will not forget that. As far as that review by Chrissy is concerned, that’s obviously someone who has never been to PIH and is just spitting venom. Thank you, Patti and the rest of the staff for being accommodating. :)

I am thankful for the massage I received before major surgery help to relieve pain & stress. Very clean & calm atmosphere.
