Optimal Health

Please read carefully before you purchase a GROUPON!
Well firstly, I have to give one star because I can’t give a negative star.
It is very clear that they are not interested in groupon business and use it solely to get free $ and people in the door.
I am very disappointed in the way they conduct their business and most importantly handle groupon clients as it is a great advertising tool for them.
This company does not want to honor groupon and use means of confusion and manipulation to avoid the service, charge you more or upsell and then upset you.
Are you willing to plow through some casual misconduct for a discount? I’m not. I rather lay mower more with nice service than to avoid it.
Ultimately and utterly disappointed

Optimal Health is an oasis of some sort to people who wants to improve their health…
This place has good options of how to start to be healthier.
Mercy — the receptionist– she’s beyond words. She’s super friendly, knowledgeable and goes out her way to make sure you get the best customer service. And this is all without having stepped into the office yet!
Chantily — she’s gentle and know’s what she’s doing. Very professional lady. I love her.
I bought the 3 package for the colon hydrotherapy. Their prices are very competitive. I’m thinking of trying their infrared sauna on my next visit.
Can’t wait!

I highly recommend Leslie. I’ve had 2 colonics with her and have had positive results. She’s very knowledgeable and honest. I purchased a Groupon for two sessions and loved it so much that I purchased a package of 3 on my own. She never once pushed any additional services to me. I highly recommend her!

bad bad business practice & ruuuuuudddddddeeeeee customer service giving by a lady name Ulsa.
i ordered a groupon to receive 2 colonics, i scheduled an appt but canceled the appt the day before my service. i noticed that my groupon was redeemed the next day… i called them to ask them why, and they tried to say i didn’t cancel the appt so i loose out on my $ 92. that wasn’t an option. i told them what happened and clearly there was miscommunication on their behalf but they not only managed to call me a liar, but they wasn’t offering to give me a refund because at this point i didnt want them doing anything to me. they were so unprofessional and shouldn’t speak to no one like that. i almost drove down there, because i wanted Ulsa to have that rude/​disrespectful attitude in my face, but ulsa is lucky groupon issued me a refund. i would not recommend this place unless you like unprofessional assholes.

I have been a client of Optimity Health for the last 6 months. Their entire staff is is professional, knowledgeable, informative, thorough, and truly makes you feel confident and comfortable in reaching your personal goals.
Since I have been following their personalized program, I have not felt this well on years. I sleep much better and my energy and libido is like it was when I was in my 20’s (No kidding). Oh by the way I’ve lost 28 lbs. Yeah!

NO RESULTS
I bought a groupon for two hydrocolon therapies. I did not enjoy the experience for two reasons:
Received wrong information,
Nothing came out.
I’ve been a vegetarian for a while and I don’t appreciate hearing I need to eat meat. I was also encouraged to use the next cleansing right away. And of course! I should buy the package of ten sessions.
The problem is that there was very little extracted out (coming out?). The liquid was a little dirty, few feces and again dirty liquid. Both times I expected to see more dirty coming out and it didn’t happen. In addition, I didn’t feel any improvement in my body.
The lady who adjusted me was chatty and they were nice. However, I’m in for results and when I began to hear her views on vegetarianism, wrong information, I just started wondering in the rest of the info she gave me was any valid.

Went twice and had a good experience both times… Well, as good of an experience as one can have while a woman sticks a tube up your butt and massages your colon.

Kim the receptionist was very kind and patient on the phone with questions I had. She was also knowledgeable. This was at the Glendale office.

I’ve been to Optimal Health 3 times now and have had nothing done. Is that weird? I guess so, but I still would like to put in my two cents, because I’ve come with my mother and my husband on different occasions for moral support. Let’s face it, when you are having a tube placed into your anal cavity, you may need a little help walking through the door.
Both of them came with the Groupon that was $ 92 for two colonics, which is a great deal. Both of them also had the procedure done by Osa who they both raved about. I have had a colonic, but I had it done with another Groupon offer from Florade Wellness done by Hilda. You can see my review here:
Both my mom and my husband also had colonics in the past from Florade Wellness and said that Hilda was much more gentle than Osa, but they didn’t see as many positive results as with Osa. The overall take home was that both places were good, just different techniques.
Osa gave them both a wealth of information about health and nutrition which was very useful and was very chatty which they both liked, because let’s face it, it can be a little awkward while sitting there with a tube in your rectum, so to have her overtake the conversation was a relief, they said.
Overall, getting a colonic can be a scary thing, especially when most say you need 3 – 6 to really see much progress and benefits, but Optimal Health and Osa made the process less daunting.

Absolutely horrible service. By all means stay away from this dishonest and unprofessional company!!!
I purchased a Groupon for two hydro-​colon therapy sessions. After the first treatment I was recommended to use the other one a few days later. I used it a few days later.
After the second treatment I was highly recommended to purchase a package of three colon therapy sessions for $ 240 to maintain my good health. I purchased the package and was NEVER TOLD that the package or amount was final sale and not refundable. After the second treatment I had medical side effects and had to be checked by my doctor. The doctor told me NOT to do any more of the treatments. Again, a DOCTOR told me not to do anymore treatments as apparently this place had done some damage to my body!!!
I did not use ANY of the 3 treatments in the package I just purchased so I called to get a refund. I spoke to the manager in charge of billing and as I explained the situation, how a doctor told me I could no longer use them and she said she would refund my money with a very rude attitude. MY MONEY WAS NEVER REFUNDED NOR WAS I EVER TOLD I COULD NOT GET MY MONEY BACK.
With that being said, I had no choice but to request a charge back via my credit card company and an investigation was underway. Optimal Health was dishonest, not upfront with their refund policies and is not a trustworthy company. Even though they have my $ 240 for services I have not used, I will never give my services or recommend this company to anyone again. I’d rather throw this voucher in the garbage then to give them anymore customers.
STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY BY ALL MEANS UNLESS YOU WANT TO END UP AT THE DOCTOR LIKE I DID.

This place is great. Curtis is fantastic for massage, Reiki, and acupuncture. Shantilly is amazing for hydrotherapy. I love the infrared sauna. I always leave here feeling great. Treat yourself!

This colon hydrotherapy was a great experience. I have done the open system before so this was the first time with the closed system, which was a whole lot more awkward. The colon hydrotherapist was AWESOME, though. Very sweet and walked me through the otherwise awkward process. It was very helpful to get ALLLLL the stuff stuck inside out of me. She massaged my belly, which I believe vastly improved my results. All in all, I loved it and I would do it again NO DOUBT!
Also, side note, I was RIDICULOUSLY late to my appointment, and they still waited for me. I appreciated it more than you can imagine. I am from a small Ohio town and this is the kind of stuff we do for each other there, but in LA people are happy when you’re late so they can cancel your appointment. THANK YOU.

For those of you looking to try the sauna, they don’t take appointments later in the day even though the website says the business is open til 8:00.
As someone who works every day in an office, those hours don’t work for me. I was really disappointed. I was looking forward to trying the acupuncture/​sauna combo.

I absolutely love the infrared sauna!
What makes the experience even more fabulous is after you’re done sweating some lbs for 30 – 40 minutes there’s a private shower in the room!
When the weather is nice outside, I tend to sit out on the terrance and relax! Love the roof top setting of the place and the spa water when you’re done!

I was so pleased with my experience here. I had a 30-​minute sauna and a 45-​minute massage, and the toxins that weren’t sweated out during the sauna were definitely worked out during my massage therapy session. Curtis, the massage therapist, is trained in several different techniques, and was ever the professional when he asked about the pressure in the beginning. Optimal Health lives up to its name, as it is a health and wellness spa of the highest caliber.

I injured my back from yoga about two weeks ago. It was one of the back bends which I’ve been doing for years. I felt something get tweaked in my back instantly however I didn’t think much of it. As the days passed, the pain in my upper right back became worse. After about the fifth day, it hurted to even breathe. I never had this type of pain ever in my life. I knew I had to get help but over a plathora of options that’s available, I didn’t know where to start. Luckily my sister and another friend of mine has been going to Optimal Health for the same back problems (from yoga). Apparently Curtis (the massage guy) fixed my friend’s back with one session. My sis recommended that I go see him and take it from there.
I made an appointment the same morning (skipped work) because the pain was unbearable. Curtis was able to squeeze me in the same afternoon. I met with him and I told him all my symptoms. First off he is extremely knowledgeable, thoroghly listened to me and attentive of my needs. He started off with a deep tissue massage and really focused on the «hot» spot. I later learned the area in chiropractic terms is called «T-​6» zone. Apparently the muscles that were affected were close to my ribs which explains the excruciating pain when I breathe. Then he did electro magnetic accupuncture on my back. It was my first accupuncture ever. It felt weird at first but I was desperate and ended up dozing off after a few mins because it felt so good. He then tried to crack me in a few areas. Then he finished me off with large pad of salonpas (icy cold at first and got super hot). My first salonpas too.
He took the time to explain to me the different remedies I can do at home myself (i.e. epsom salt baths and heated water pads). He even took the time to google how the heated water pads looked like for my ref., since I didn’t have any clue. Then he also recommended I see Dr. Peter Ziegler for a few mins so he can adjust me.
Dr. Ziegler is another awesome staff here. He took me in right away even though he had a patient waiting. He tweaked & cracked me. He also urged me to come back for another visit for a full session of treatment.
Well the very next day, I went back to 45 mins of spinning and 90 mins of poweryoga. I must say the pain was almost non-​existent. Working out definitely helped as it brought heat & blood flow to my back. This is something that Curtis had mentioned I should do. I’m not about to quit yoga soon… it’s just a realization that I’m not young anymore and more prone to injuries (sadly). Since my last visit, I continued to see Dr. Ziegler and my back problem is definitely getting better. And Curtis… I’ll be back!

One of the best parts about sites like Living Social, Pop Sugar (not really feeling Groupon at the moment), Gilt City LA is the ability to learn about all of our cities little hidden gems. Gems I may otherwise never knew existed. My experience at Optimal Health highlights this. I consider myself fairly well versed in alternative health methodologies. I also am a HUGE fan of infrared saunas — no seriously I want to build one in my living room. I had always used the sit inside wooden spacious varieties though and swore to myself those «lying down weird ones» would make me claustrophobic. Last night I went to Optimal Health and this theory of mine was put to shame.
I started my treatment with Nicholas (who is easy on the eyes ladies to boot). He gave me a 30 minute + deep tissue massage. Oh my god — he is gifted! Again, I have had lots of massages. I know my body very, very well. He put just the right amount of pressure (and it’s never enough for me. I like very strong hands). I practically floated out of the massage room and was led to the infrared sauna area. I stood surprised it looked easy and carefree — and I wondered why I ever was so fearful of this format as opposed to the other. At around 8:30 I started to feel a little bad as I heard the building prepping to close up — not the suite but other suite owners. I got out, and said to one of the owners «Next time I will come earlier, I feel bad making you stay until 9pm» He said «no its fine, seriously, not a big deal at all.» We ended up chatting for a bit more, I bought a few products I am excited to try AND they informed me they decided to extend this particular promotion. I quickly bought 2 more :)
I came home feeling harmonious. All over. Thank you Optimal Health!

This place is amazing!!! I suffered from acne and I’m 24! :(I’ve tried everything and have spent soooooooo much money on products, peels, etc. My friend told me about colon hydrotherapy and I decided to give it a shot and boy was I happy I did! I got a package of 12 and I just went in for my 8^th one today! Only after 3 sessions my skin started clearing up! Osa is the lady who administers the colonics and she’s great!!! She gave me a lot of advice regarding my diet and certain products that would help and everything is working! It’s worth all the money!!!

I went here with a terribly sore back. They were able to get me out of pain. Very skilled staff

I’ve had an acupuncture/​reiki treatment from John Simmonds and have to say it was amazing. I was walking on air afterwards.
The staff are friendly and knowledgeable, and the front desk always has a smile to greet you.
The facility is clean and comfortable, and there’s plenty of parking in the building.
