This wellness center is wonderful. I regularly use their infrared sauna to aid in my Lyme disease recovery and this has been crucial to my progress. In addition, they have subscriptions for Netflix inside the sauna! So time goes by very fast in there. The staff are also wonderful, Elle and Cara-Michele are both professional and warm to all the customers and give fair prices for their services. They've even sent me additional Lyme disease articles in order to help my recovery despite not being paid for this type of service. I would HIGHLY recommend their services to anyone in need of health improvement. I am sure they would be of great benefit to your recovery as they have been to mine. More...

My life, health, and mental focus have been bountifully touched as a result of Cara-Michele's wisdom, guidance, and persistence. I came to her with what seemed like a multitude of challenges. I can't begin to tell you the number of times that she asked if I was free and could stay just a little bit longer. She eagerly sought for solutions. Often, she did additional research and was never afraid to piece together what might seem like unconventional approaches. As I write this review, my mind is the clearest it has been in years. I have more energy, sleep well, have improved digestion and am at a good weight. There was one day, we were discussing my health. I started rattling off all these things that were labels that doctors had given me or I had applied to myself that described my current state. She stopped me and said what she was concerned about was the person who came through the door. Having that perspective was liberating! I didn't have to be or need to be defined by labels. This is just one example of how she has imparted her wisdom on the importance of living in the present. In her, I have a sister, a friend, and an advocate. And because of her caring ways I continue to change for the better. More...

Sara-Michele is a Miracle Worker. I was in much pain and discomfort after 5 months of physical therapy for an Injury. Several areas on my body were still tight, sore, needing healing. I was shocked how one quick accupunture treatment brought release of pain in half an hour!! She offers patience, compassion, and those natural healing modalities I prefer. I have been educated comprehensively by Cara-Michele also. I am healing the inflammation also with the infrared sauna...a very pleasant experience!! Next, trying the exercise class. Hey, I also learned that sugar causes inflammation from Cara-Michele. I love her Holistic Approach to wellness. Thank you so much. Love her staff too!! More...

I visited the Strength and Vitality Wellness Center originally for knee pain as a result of an old roller skating injury. Cara-Michelle was both comforting and objective during the entire treatment process . She listened to every detail during our consultation and we addressed both the knee pain and anxiety I had been struggling with quite some time. The sessions themselves were peaceful, relaxing, and meditative, and she spent time with me, explaining the needles to relieve that anxiety I originally presented as well as gave me some very helpful guidance to deal with my anxiety in general. I didn't have any trouble making an appointment and she answered every question I had, both during and after the appointments. I highly recommend her, both for her expertise and comforting nature, no matter if you're dealing with pain, GI, or mental health issues. More...

OMG. Cara-Michele really knows how to use Acupuncture to treat swelling and injured muscles and trauma in the body!! I was unable to walk much without lower back pain. I have very little tightness after only a few treatments. My shoulder pain is almost null and void. My thumb pain is diminished immensely. I had acupuncture treatments from a pain specialist who was not even half as knowledgeable as Cara. WOW, I am so appreciative that she listens and explains everything as well. No secrets, no judgments, only peaceful, honorable, caring help! Thank YOU Thank YOU, Thank YOU! More...

I’ve struggled with sciatica for years on and off, especially when my stress levels are high. I had been in excruciating pain for close to two months when I started going to Strength & Vitality Wellness Center. I couldn’t walk, sit, lay down, or move without pain. I was in bad shape. Within my first two sessions I noticed a remarkable change in my condition. I was able to slowly return to the gym and the pain began to disappear. I’m in my third week of acupuncture treatment and I’ve had zero pain for the first time in almost two months this week! The acupuncture sessions are relaxing and I have theeeee best nap during the treatment! Cara-Michele is very passionate about her work. Her recommendations for treatment plans includes strategies for overall wellness. The office provides an immediate feeling of zen upon entry. I was referred to Cara-Michele by a colleague and I’m glad I followed through and made an appointment! More...

I can't think of another healthcare professional more dedicated to healing and well-being than Cara-Michele Nether. Her acupuncture skills have taken me from chronic pain feeling great on more than one occasion. I also value her "food as medicine" perspective on health issues. I don't just go to see her when I'm injured or unwell: she has a six month monitoring program that helps spot issues before they become problems. I'd rather stay healthy than be cured. More...

Everyone associated w/Strength & Vitality Wellness Center is EXCELLENT. Awesome Customer Service, very friendly, courteous. Cara-Michele is the owner and is extremely welcoming & helpful. She is an Acupuncturist, Certified Nutrition Counselor & Certified Personal Trainer...she does it ALL!!. The InfraRed Sauna is wonderful for treating inflammation in the body, so if you have problems w/your muscles & tendons, try two of the InfraRed Sauna sessions in a 7 DAY period, they will really help relieve soreness & tightness in the body. The sessions are 50 minutes & VERY reasonably priced!. I've had a lump in my hip area for over a year and would get a massage, but it would always come back after a few days causing my IT Band to get sore. My hip socket/muscles were VERY tight. I had my first InfraRed Sauna session on Nov 12th, then a second one on Nov 17th...that lump in my hip was GONE after that second session!!!!. It has NOT returned, and it's December now!!!. I went in for another InfraRed Sauna session this week and I feel great! The Center ALSO houses a Well With Wendy Colon Therapist office---She is VERY friendly, informative and helpful. There is also Rhonda Keagy who runs the Thermography Suite. If you want something to REPLACE RADIATION Mammograms, get a Thermography done by Rhonda. NO pain or squishing of the breast necessary...It's a DIGITAL image!!!. Packages are available for discounted rates and you can schedule via text, online or by phone. More...

I love this place Cara-Michelle has been a blessing to my daughter and myself. In the summer of 2017, my 7 year old daughter fell and hurt herself. The doctor’s diagnosis was she had a concussion and they put her on plenty of medication. I bought her to Cara- Michelle who treated her and I noticed that within a couple of days she was playing and had energy (which she didn’t have before). When she started to feel better she developed an awful cough which I was concerned with her regular doctor brushed it off. Cara- Michelle told me to keep an eye on her because an injury to her head could cause other problems. A month later after taking her to the doctor’s multiple times she was diagnosed with walking pneumonia. I took her back to Cara-Michelle and she treated her for pneumonia. Within days my daughter was feeling better and her fever broke almost immediately. I was forever grateful because where her pediatrician brushed off my concerns with holistic treatment she was able to overcome her ailments with no side effects. While I was bringing my daughter I was also being treated for some health problems of my own. I eventually did a cleanse that Cara-Michelle recommended to me and was satisfied with the results. I lost weight but more importantly I had a clear mind and I no longer had a sugar addiction. She also taught me how to eat fruits and vegetables... because not all fruits are the best for you because of their sugar content. I was happy and pleased with what I learned from her concerning my daughter and myself. I would recommend Strength and vitality to anyone looking for an answer past what the doctor’s are telling you sometimes it’s deeper than conventional medicine. More...
