Help for Health

I was a little intimidated at the thought of doing this challenge, however im extremely pleased that i did, the workout is a force to be reckoned with, BUT well worth the effort, you will be challenged to push yourself beyond what you imagine. The BEST decision I could have made for ME!!!

Two words: Wow!!! Awesome!!! I probably should add life changing too!
I am so glad, I found this location for my first colonic hydrotherapy. I also wish, I started this journey (receiving colonics) decades ago. My stomach is as flat, as a board now. What, I’ve been spending loads of money on for digestion (Organic Teas, Cleanses, Laxative, Waist Trainers, Etc) was solved within 45 minutes of having a colonic. The next day benefits had me feeling like a new person. For those who have a digestion problem (Like myself), I would suggest getting one.
This location price is reasonable when compared to other locations. Trust me on this, I called around to several places across MD, VA and DC. Ask for the Groupon special of $ 89 upon arrival.
For newbies go on a day during the week when it’s not packed, so the owner can give instructions and loads of information. Saturdays is filled with a lot of appointments or walk ins.
I also tried the V-​steam, but I’m not sold on the benefits of the procedure (Not just from this location), BUT in general in regards to the concept. There just isn’t a lot of research out there to support it and I didn’t notice any changes in my body afterwards. The price for this service is only $ 25.

I seriously LOVE this place. It feels so zen when you go in there, its so nicely decorated. But besides all that, the owner Kathy is a true sweetheart. She truly cares about your health and what you need help with and will take the time to listen and explain everything to you. The services they have are just incredible. I had a nice colonic to clear myself out, but then I did cryotherapy and I have to say it is truly wonderful. You feel like you are on cloud 9 when youre done. Its a high that I have been searching for my entire life. I use it to treat anxiety and depression but it has so many health benefits too! Please check it out if you feel the same way I do about wanting to generally feel better about life!!!

I purchased three sessions of Laserlipo through Groupon and saw no results whatsoever. The atmosphere is mediocre at best and the management is friendly. But if you’re paying $ 200 for Laserlipo, one would expect some results. I am not a fat person at all but do have a little pooch/​trouble spot that I would like to get rid of [only an inch of fat] and this treatment couldn’t even do that much. They tell you to eat no carbs that week and exercise as well as drink half your body weight in water… Let me tell you. ANYONE who does that is destined to lose some weight. However it isn’t long term and as soon as you being to eat normally you will revert back to your normal weight. FURTHERMORE if I wanted to get rid of my weight through diet and exercise I WOULD DO SO. Anyways, I feel like this whole experience was just a lesson to save my money and go get a massage or treat myself to a spa day instead. What a waste of time. I would not recommend going to this place at all but the choice is up to you.
Oh yeah, there is a sign on the wall asking people to tip on the pregroupon rate… But really, why should you? All they are doing is clicking a button. Gtfo, money doesn’t grow on trees.
That’s my two cents.
Check it out for yourselves if you would like to but shit… I wouldn’t recommend it.

Here for 6 pm appointment… Still waiting and it’s 6:35 pm… Not the easiest place to get to especially during rush hour. Pay me for my time as I support your business.

I discovered Help for Health through groupon. I purchased one session of colon hydrotherapy. Recommendations: if is your first time do your research because you will do the whole process by yourself. A good thing is that It is private and you manage the process, flow, etc. However, it could be a little scary because you may not feel comfortable doing it by yourself or you do not know what to expect, if it is right or wrong, etc.
They give you several papers were you need to release them from any responsibility. Second they give a brief explanation of how to use the machine and that is where prior education plays a huge role. I read and watched several youtube videos so I had an idea of what to expect. The process is very easy and you turn on and off the machine. After the treatment I felt good but they did not told me or provided me information of what to expect or what to do if something is not right. Overall, I most likely will go again.

I went in for a v-​steam because I dont have regular periods (usually 1 period every 6 months). I read online that this type of treatment usually ran about $ 60 and was supposed to help with balancing you’re hormones. I originally called ahead and was told that it would cost $ 25 for 45 min. I was a little sketched out by the reviews and price but went ahead and made an appointment because it was cheap and there aren’t many places in NOVA that offer it.
PROS:
–The place was clean and well decorated. It had a nice atmosphere.
–Staff was friendly
–Treatment was non evasive.
CONS:
–The place was under staffed. They had one lady running around doing everything. I came in at 1pm for my appointment and no one was at the front desk until 25 min later.
–Staff was too busy for personalized care. (I sat on the herb blend for over 45 min because it didn’t seem like there had been a timer set, and the lady never came to tell me it was over. I think she just got too busy and forgot about me.)
–Staff gave conflicting information. (When I was ready to leave, I was asked if I was a Groupon client, I said no, and was told the total was $ 49.99. I guess its only $ 25 if you groupon but I wasn’t asked over the phone if I was groupon or not, I was just told it would be $ 25)
All in all, I would likely not return to this place. I didn’t really feel any different afterwards and its been two weeks and there has been no change. Literally, all you you do is sit over a hot pot of herbs. Its like a sauna for your boobs down. I think I might just get a personal kit to try at home.
But the staff and ambiance were nice. I don’t blame them that I didn’t notice change in my body.

I ABSOLUTELY love Mrs. Kathy-​owner and technician at this place. She is so friendly and knowledgable about everything and explains things in a language that you can understand. There’s so much here to jump start your better looking and feeling-​body goals it’s ashamed. I’ve had lipo-​laser treatments here and loss 5 inches! I’ve had he cryotherapy sessions after a surgery and my swelling and inflammation reduced dramatically! I’ve done the turbo sonic, the water massage and my most frequent service is the colonics. She is amazing and has helped me get my waist cinched on several occasions.

Come prepared to be educated. Kathy, the owner, is so very genuine, knowledgeable, professional, and excited you want to treat your body.
The «tumbler» is an awesome machine for your core muscles and also the pre-​step to the colonic. Wrap up your awesome body adventure with some time in an infrared sauna.
By the way, the $ 89 Groupon is worth all it’s value! Start the new year off right and do your body a genuine favor! You won’t regret it!

LOVE this place. The owner is sweet, courteous and knowledgeable. Never have to wait for more than a few minutes if there is even a wait. Clean and welcoming facility.

I gave 5 stars as Help for Health does exactly what I need. It allows the use of the cryotherapy machine. The staff is courteous, quick, and knowledgable. This is not a «spa» of the typical variety, but more of a wellness center.
The use of cryotherapy has saved me from from injury and reducing arthritis pain to nearly zero! It helps reducing pain and stiffness and I sleep great after using it!

Love Kathi and the spa, I’ve been doing Cryo for months several times per week and it’s improved my overall appearance and energy. Great results!

I really enjoy help for health. They have a vast selection of programs you can choose from! The best thing is they have Cryotherapy, which is the service that I’ve used them for!
The staff here is very friendly! It can get a little busy, but they always make sure they take their time with each client to give them the best care possible! So keep that in mind if you have to wait a little.
The welcome area has a very comfortable feel… And has a small selection of lovely teas and water you can choose from!
The parking is also pretty good too. It’s on the side of the building and I’ve never had a problem finding a space!

Kathy is the best! Comfortable, friendly, well kept and convenient :) definitely recommended! The prices are right and the location is very easy to get to! If you’ve ever been nervous to go to a medspa, this is the place to go.

I have been here twice for alternative pain reduction methods.
This location is clean and well maintained. I felt welcome and comfortable both time and had several nice conversations with the staff. They are very accommodating and relaxed. Scheduling has been easy.
They did a great job of moving me from uncomfortable/​uncertain to relaxed. The location is close to Merrifield /​Dunn Loring metro station and there is parking. The building looks rather industrial but once you get inside the foyer go up the stairs and open the Help for Health door the atmosphere is calming. Glad I decided to give them a try.

A great expression of what a modern healing center and spa should be. Terrific ambience as you walk in w serene wonderfully decorated setting. The gracious amounts of options to detoxify the easiest way possible is offered.
The energy is in high vibration and everything has a fluid Feng Sui. On this particular occasion groupon brought me into the Cryotherapy and froze blissfully at –270 F.
I’m happy to report that I felt amazing for 4 days afterwards and many high level athletes and office types will heal deeper layers. Then off for cellular detox right after with Infrared Light sauna! A great combo and this is coming from a health author and human guinea pig.
Enjoy and take advantage of the vibrant health from people who care and anti-​age.

I came in for a colon hydrotherapy session that I got off groupon. I’ll start at the beginning…
The guy at the front desk (Jeremy, I think) is pleasant, but he mixed up what I was there for (even though I had an appointment) so I ended up waiting longer than I think I should have.
The owner, Kathi, is very likable. I’ve never had a colonic and she was comforting about it. She explained the process and what to do to get started. After that, you’re in the room all by yourself! She’ll knock and see how you’re doing but doesn’t actually come in (which I was totally cool with!). The room and machine itself is very sanitary. Wipes and towels are provided. The one thing I really wish Kathi did was explain that the water doesn’t stop even after all your shit is out of your system (I thought there was a certain amount of water that you get).

Love this place and have only been there for one visit! I researched Whole Body Cryosauna after seeing some information about it on CNN. Due to an auto accident I recently had, I was in need of some pain management and decided to try this Cryosauna/​Cryotherapy. I have been once and it was absolutely exhiliirating. I will be back regularly for this therapy as I expect from my research that it will reduce the pain and muscle and joint aches quicker. I will update this review once I have seen more of a difference through additional sessions.
I also believe there are other therapies at this clinic that will help me further and I plan to try those as well.
The buliding sign says Help for Health Spa. As long as you go in with an open mind, you won’t be disappointed. This is not a fancy day spa, but not their prices, either. I have been to many spas in my lifetime and many alternative therapy clinics. I would term this as more of the alternative therapy clinic, and they know what they are doing.
The location, at least for me, is superb. Less than 5 minutes from work and 20 minutes from home.
I highly recommend checking this place out. Like I said, go in with an open mind, groupon or no groupon and give it a chance.

I was definitely rethinking my decision to purchase the groupon after I read a couple reviews on here. I thought I was going to a medieval torture chamber or something…
This facility is somewhere in-​between an overseas industrial detox building (the kind where you stay for about a week) and a Day Spa. The exercise machines are some that I’ve seen in Korean spas, but I’ve never seen this type — made in the USA!
I wasn’t sure what to expect for the colon therapy… just seemed scary and the photo posted here shows an uncomfortable looking machine, the one I had was more comfy looking to me. (I told the lady she should update the photos to show more of the equipment). I was so relieved to see the other colon therapy machine… it looks newer and less cold and hard.
Kathy Fentress was the one who helped me and she explained everything and told me to RELAX! It took me a while, but I finally did. After the sauna I was done! I believe I will sleep well tonight and will probably be back soon to try out some of the other products.

I have been coming here for a few years. They use to be located in Springfield, Va before they moved to this nicer location on Gallows Road.
This place offers a lot of different services and I would recommend to check out groupon for some discounts before coming here. I can always find something that I may want to try before I pay full price.
The ladies here are nice and explain things that are going to happen during and after the services. Kathi is extremely nice and caring and I think she is the best in explaining things to you and making you feel comfortable.
