    Amazing experience today! Joe did my massage and it was phenomenal. Drew worked on my daughter, Marni, for a sports massage to help with sciatic nerve pain. He was super knowledgeable and even explained additional treatment options that could help her long term — we plan to pursue that with him. We felt so well taken care of and will definitely be back! Thank you!

    Transcending Health is hands-down the most comprehensive and truly integrative therapy experience I’ve ever had. In reality, I don't know of anything comparable in town or in my travels. I’ve received personalized massage, energy work, physiotherapy assessments, sound healing, SoftWave, reflexology, and cryotherapy here—and so has my husband. Every single session has been intentional, effective, and tailored to exactly what my body needed that day. Drew Edmondson is on a completely different level than what most people think of as “massage therapy.” He’s my first truly integrative therapist. His toolbox is so deep that in real time, he’s able to sense what’s needed and create the most intuitive, effective treatment session. In one appointment, the might weave together cupping, trigger point work, shiatsu, hot stone therapy, aromatherapy, and more—always with a clear therapeutic purpose, never just to “add something on.” I’ve also had the most energetically powerful and effective acupuncture sessions with Robin, especially after gallbladder surgery. Her work supported my recovery in a way that I could both feel and see in my day-to-day life. Drew has now opened a new gym space with even more options for therapy, and you can feel the integrity behind everything they offer. It’s not like other places where every single item on the menu is an upsell or an extra fee. The focus here is genuinely on healing, function, and long-term well-being. I know Drew desires to offer this level of body work and integrative care to more people with the hope that the barriers of cost and access are removed. If there is a way, he will find it. I could not be happier with my therapy sessions with Drew and, in the past, with Robin. If I could give Transcending Health 10 million stars, I would.

    I thoroughly enjoyed my experience at Transcending Health yesterday. From the moment we arrived till we left, our experience was relaxing, professional and absolutely first rate. My massage with Keanan was wonderful. Drew, Josiah, Keanan, Amy and all the staff made us feel welcomed and truly appreciated. Give Transcending Health a try. I promise you won't be disappointed! We will definitely going back.
