I have been meaning to visit Alive and Well for years! After some holiday burnout, this was the perfect excuse to visit.
I love that they use text to help coordinate appts, as I was trying to book multiple treatments for my visit, and someone reached out saying they'd call me to streamline it.
Someone gave me a call and recommended a spa package. Not sure how long it's available for but it was a phenomenal deal -- infrared sauna, LED lounge, 60-min swedish massage, and a shot for $185.
Shelby, the locker room attendant, was so helpful. Really sweet and quick to help me throughout my visit.
Everything was clean and I felt amazing after the sauna + LED. There was a gap before my massage so I spent about 30 min in the lounge...it's really small and wish it had a water station.
I overheard my massage therapist, Danielle, mention "one more to go" to someone before coming to get me (just curtains to close off the "lounge" so not hard to overhear hallway chatter). Tbh I was expecting her to be rushed or not very enthusiastic as it was the end of the day.
Within 10 seconds of my massage, all my worries went away. I was SO relaxed and felt it was one of the best massages I've had in a while.
I told my husband we need to start coming here instead of our usual spot for massages. Especially with all the additional wellness treatments that we appreciate!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - P. L.Skillman, NJ04Apr 12, 2024
I went in with a mask on last month because I was getting surgery that week. One of the women working there passed me and scoffed and smirked at me. I know this place has issues with mask wearing Train your staff to be more compassionate. You have people who are ill who come there and need to do whatever they can do be comfortable in life.

Every service I have had has been excellent. IV Drip, Facials, Massage and the supplement selection is great. I most recently had ozone treatments for my nose and ears per recommendation of the nurse and it totally helped with my allergies.
Thank you for providing wonderful and friendly service and support to our neighborhood.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Melanie B.Austin, TX04230Aug 23, 2023
From your EMPATHETIC operator of business (Shannon), Melanie (Holistic NP), Jess Lee (Holistic Practitioner), Alana (NP for IVs) - down to your Pharmacist who COMPOUNDS & your local and welcoming front of house staff.
I absolutely love and adore this clinic.
Let me be clear on my background as a client as to why...having been to over 650 doctors, 6 Medical systems (including Mayo Clinic & NIH), 56+ specialists, 17+ procedures, 30+ ER visits, and more Blood/IVs than I care to count..... I been in the hands of Eastern, Holistic, Western and other medical practices hands.
Alive and well makes me feel welcomed, cared for, and listened to by all staff! They carry the best quality of supplements, IV bags and compounds in their IV bags. They have modalities and services I need to live completely comfortable in my body with recovering still from autoimmune distress. I trust their staff to take care of me as well if I ever was in crisis.
The owners and their business model so exceptional. I wish some services I could have provided to me at home & more locations with amazing cherry picked STAFF WITH skills and niches to help support the 1,000s of people like me in the country, that the general public doesn't even know about.
This review is left with my heartfelt gratitude to your wonderful staff and services you have provided me in the last 2-3 years.
Thank you!Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Shawn W.Spicewood, TX02Jan 23, 2024
If you have never had colon hydrotherapy you should defiantly get one. You will leave feeling revived and light on your feet. Any bloating or constipation you might be experiencing will be gone. Elsa at Alive and Well is a professional. She is certified in CHT, she will explain the process and make you feel so comfortable while your getting the treatment. (the treatment is 100% natural, so you don't have to worry about weird drugs being put in your body) She also will give you suggestions on diet to help with bloating or constipation. Don't be afraid of getting one. Its a wonderful experience that will change the way you feel immediately and for weeks after.
Elsa is fabulous!!!!!

This was my first experience with a functional medicine practitioner. It was eye opening. I spent almost two hours with her going over my entire health history to find the root causes of some of my health problems. The usual medical exam just prescribes a drug to treat the symptoms. This is totally different. I'm now getting tested for mold exposure, heavy metals, and gut health. I've already stopped some of the drugs I had been taking and getting help with better nutrition. I feel better already. Functional medicine should revolutionize health care but big pharma will fight it. There is too much money at stake. In addition to functional medicine practitioners Alive and Well also offers many other health services including a pharmacy and an extensive variety of supplements.

Came here for the first time today and was underwhelmed at best and insulted at worst. The space itself is nice to look at but behind the scenes it's pretty basic and actually quite loud. I feel like I drastically overpaid for what ended up being a mediocre experience, and I found it is not the place for a relaxing spa day.
Pros:
- The nurse who ended up finally doing my IV was super friendly and attentive
- The blanket and heating pad made the experience very comfortable
- Morgan was absolutely lovely and provided one of the best massages I've ever had. Super targeted to my areas of concern and the pressure was perfect
Cons:
- The lobby was super loud and packed when I checked in, and the receptionist never offered me water or to show me where the locker room or cafe were despite knowing it was my first time here
- The nurse that took me back to the IV lounge was a bit short and after confirming the IV drip I was going to get she literally disappeared and left me in the room alone waiting for 30 minutes with no explanation or apology. This was super frustrating because I had a massage scheduled after the IV drip and I purposely scheduled it so that I would have ample time between services to relax. Finally another nurse came into the room, asked if any of my vitals had been taken (nope) and agreed to go ahead and do everything for me since I was waiting so long. My IV didn't end up getting started until 45 minutes after my appointment time.
- The IV drip was relaxing but the button on the chair to reverse the incline on my chair wasn't working and the entire chair ended up tipping forward so I almost fell out of it
- The "spa waiting room" is the size of a closet, can fit 2-3 people max with just a couple of basic chairs, and you can hear all of the loud noise from the lobby and employees shouting back and forth to each other in the hallway, so it's anything but relaxing
- Throughout my massage I could hear employees laughing and chatting in the hallway, so this definitely hampered the relaxation part of the experience
Overall, I was pretty disappointed and do not plan on returning for any services other than maybe another massage from Morgan.Helpful 6Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 2 - Patricia E.Fremont, CA03Oct 21, 2023
This place looks beautiful and has great staff. The prices are significantly more and the staff really pushed tipping on medical services like IV's. To me this seems a bit out of integrity because nurses are paid much better than a spa therapists and their level of care should not be dependent on whether they are getting a tip. It's also creates financial pressure for those with chronic illnesses like Lyme disease where they need these services to maintain a baseline level of health.

Alive & Well is absolutely amazing.
I never leave reviews but I had to for this place.
Everyone that works here is SO kind and nice. Everyone cares about you and is so helpful and genuine.
Even if you just need help with supplements they can help you find what you are looking for.
I have done a lot of the therapies- LED Red Light Therapy, Infrared Sauna, Cold Plunge, IV drip, vitamin shots. And it is truly therapeutic. Everything is always clean.
I have met with Dr. Paige Ryan for my health several times and she is absolutely amazing. If you are looking for a new doctor go to Dr. Ryan. She has helped me SO much with my health issues and lingering Covid symptoms.
It can be pricey but if you do a membership it saves you a ton of money.
This place is truly amazing. I wish I could give this place 10 Stars. They have so many high quality supplements that actually do work and so many effective therapies.
I cannot recommend this place enough!!!!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0
