My 2nd 5 star review of this place as I just can’t say enough great things! This review is regarding the owner Kanoa General. I’ve been going to him for a while for deep cupping massage treatments that did wonders for my body - neck & back.

My 2nd 5 star review of this place as I just can’t say enough great things! This review is regarding the owner Kanoa General. I’ve been going to him for a while for deep cupping massage treatments that did wonders for my body - neck & back. Well, over 2 months ago I partially tore the meniscus in my left knee (not 100% sure at the time that was the issue). Right away Kanoa began treating me with targeted deep tissue massages, stretches, & taping on the the surrounding areas. Along with sound advice as what the treatment plan needed to be for my recovery. His diagnosis matched exactly what the orthopedic doctor told me. After many necessary PT sessions with Kanoa that included a stretching video that he made for me along with sent home - CryoDerm pain relief, ice packs, bands & cables, my meniscus is on its way back to normal! I can’t say enough about the great service & treatment I was getting (and continue get) from Kanoa. Especially in today’s world when great customer service unfortunately is an exception rather than the normal. The great service I get from General Wholistic is one of the few places where I feel I always get my money’s worth! Last but not least the place is always spotless clean and Kanoa is very pleasant & professional. Less

Best massage I have ever had. Release my body stress. Highly recommend.

Best work ever done on my scars! Kanoa is an expert on anatomy! He helps me so much with my chronic neck pain, ulnar nerve pinching and pain.and arthritis from 5 wrist surgeries. Very clean and a quiet environment!... More

I highly recommend Kanoa and General Wholistic. I had been seeing a sports medicine specialist before being passed along to a pain management specialist. While both my sports medicine specialist and pain management specialist were extremely knowledgeable and dedicated to helping me, I was showing minimal improvement on my injuries. I had gone through numerous rounds of cortisone shots, trigger point injections, and physical therapy before they finally suggested I try a medical massage and recommended the team over at General Wholistic. Before deciding to make the call, I did some research on medical massages and read the reviews on General Wholistic. I found that there were not that many reviews, which is why I wanted to take the time to write this review, as I cannot recommend Kanoa and General Wholistic enough. I emailed requesting assistance on schedule as I was not sure which service to book or how long I should book it for. Kanoa followed up by phone within 24 hours to gather some more information and scheduled me for that same week! The best part, he was extremely flexible and worked with me to find a time after my workday. After my first appointment with Kanoa, pain that I felt for years was finally gone, I thought I was going to have to live with that pain forever. Kanoa did not only work on my pain points, but he also examined my entire body to truly understand what could have been causing the pain and other “problem areas” that I had. Not only is he extremely knowledgeable and explains everything to you in a simple way, but he is also passionate about what he does and is dedicated to helping his patients. He recommended some stretches that I should do in-between visits, I had requested links to videos or images as I am very much a visual learner and wanted to have references. He took the time to make a video customized for me and walked me through each stretch and explained why they were important and would help in my recovery. I have only had three visits so far but I can without a doubt say that my quality of life has drastically improved. Less

My chiropractor’s office changed their hours to close at 5pm so I had to find a new place that was open later for cupping massages. I found General Wholistic Center on Google and saw they have evening hours. I booked my appointment with Kara Calabro. Wow!! A whole different cupping experience!

I found General Wholistic Center on Google and saw they have evening hours. I booked my appointment with Kara Calabro. Wow!! A whole different cupping experience! After speaking with me about my pain areas, Kara went work. My neck is where I have most of my issues. She went to town and gave me the BEST cupping/neck/upper shoulders massage that I ever had! Kara is very knowledgeable and courteous as well. Very convenient evening hours that work around my schedule. I’ll be going back for sure. Less

This was a real professional massage!! I have never felt better after any session, as I did here. Very well done. Thank you- Dick Kievit

Sam was fantastic. Extremely knowledgeable and shows a sincere interest in learning about your diet, exercise and lifestyle to get a better understanding of the overall health and wellness. Both she and Kanoa met me at the door with a smile and Sam gave me some great feedback afterwards. Looking forward to my next visit!... More

Up until recently (due to chronic illness) I do a monthly massage with Kanoa- can’t wait to return! He’s very knowledgeable - the massages are fantastic.

It was a great experience- my massage was so relaxing! I've already scheduled the second appointment and look forward to their other services!

Samantha’s expertise with Myo facial technique have been a life saver. Since I began treatment with her I have had improvement in mobility and range of motion in my shoulders and hips.
