Amour de Soi Wellness and Spa

I was enjoying happy hour one evening with my mom, and I was saying to her that I wished I was one of those people who LOVES exercise and can’t wait to hit the gym after work. If only, I said, I could be hypnotized into becoming that person. Next thing I knew, my mom had purchased me a Groupon for a hypnotherapy session at Amour de Soi.
Hypnotherapy isn’t REALLY hypnosis, of course; Alice won’t try to make you think you’re a chicken or anything. I was surprised, however, by how effective it was at addressing my goals, feelings, and fears around exercise and healthfulness. I really enjoyed it because instead of diving right into therapy, hypnotherapy has kind of a warm-​up that put me in a relaxed, meditative state. It helped that I got to sit in a comfy reclining chair. I also liked being able to shut my eyes — I felt a lot less silly and self-​conscious. Alice has a very calm and nurturing presence, and I found it relatively easy to open up to her. She helped me refine my feelings and come up with a couple of tools I could use to get me to the gym and to feel happy about going.

I went for the hour-​long massage, with shea foot rub and scalp massage. It was lovely and very relaxing. Alice was very friendly and professional. I highly recommend this spa.

Welcoming style and direct but effective questions and comments make this place a great place to get treatment.

I saw Alice for biofeedback to help control my anxiety & recurring migraines. She did a wonderful job explaining my parasympathetic nervous system to me, as well as the science behind biofeedback.
She is very passionate about what she does and it shows. Her prices are very fair and I was told recently she would be accepting insurance soon, which is always a bonus!
The biofeedback has been a great tool for managing stress and anxiety and has helped reduce the number of migraines I have.
On another note: Alice is super responsive via email, which I LOVE.

I was a little skeptical about buying a massage deal from amazon local, but my body was tired, and I thought I would try one out! I’m glad I did! The 60 minute massage included a scalp rub and a Shea butter foot rub.
This was my first massage, and Alice walked me through everything that would happen, and made me feel really comfortable and cared for. She is very professional, calming and you can tell she cares about what she does. would definitely recommend this place.

This was my first hypnotherapy experience and I have to say that it has really helped me with a couple issues in my life. It is a very calming and soothing environment which really helps me get in tune with deep hypnosis. I have worked with Alice on a number of issues from trying to live healthy to being inspired to paint. It has helped me with both, and I continue to see her to help stay motivated.

I sought out hypnotherpay as a last-​ditch effort to overcome my fear of flying, and I assumed I was throwing money away. I’d tried many other methods, including prescription meds, and nothing worked. I wasn’t just a ‘nervous flyer’ — I was the kind of person you’d move your seat to get away from. I flew less than once a year, and those trips were brutal on me and everyone around me. No joke, this was real, pure fear in its most concentrated form.
I went for two 90-​minute hypnotherapy sessions to address my flying fear — I’d accepted a promotion that required me to fly frequently, and had gone so far as to book flights, knowing full well that, if the therapy didn’t work, I’d be a no-​show at the airport. Within the first twenty minutes of my first session, Alice had helped me unravel so much about my fear that I was able to see, for the very first time, that my fear wasn’t about flying. And once it wasn’t about flying, it became harder and harder to be afraid. The sessions allowed me to engage in a dialog with my fear — in a way, I was separating my fearful self from my non-​fearful self, and Alice provided the guidance to help dissolve the fear and turn it into a source of strength. It’s hard to describe hypnotherapy, other than to say it’s not hypnosis. I can only tell you it worked for me when I didn’t think anything could.
I can’t thank Alice enough for her guidance, support, and expert care. Within weeks of my two sessions, I was flying solo for work, taking propellor planes and commuter jets, handling flight delays and nearly missed connections — all things I NEVER thought I could do. What’s amazing about hypnotherapy is that you don’t need months of talk therapy to lay the groundwork for progress. The issues that my sessions brought to the surface were surprising to me, and I’ve continued to see Alice to address the deeper emotional underpinnings of my fear and anxiety, but even without the continued support, after my two sessions I was able to fly. By myself. A lot.
I can’t express how proud I am to be a flyer. I can only say that, without Alice, I wouldn’t have been able to do it.

I went to see Alice for a 60 minute, full body massage and it was excellent! Alice created a safe and comfortable environment and I felt totally fine letting go and being taken care of. Her touch brought me into my body in a way that I’m not usually. It made me realize I should get more massage! She was good at finding the tight points and using just the right pressure to relieve my muscles. I’t been about twelve hours and I still feel completely relaxed. I’d recommend her to anyone.
