Transcending Health is a comprehensive wellness center in Charlottesville offering massage therapy, acupuncture, personal training, physical therapy, yoga, sound healing, and wellness coaching. Led by founder Drew Edmondson and a team of licensed practitioners, they integrate clinical treatments (SoftWave therapy, orthopedic laser, cryotherapy) with holistic modalities to address pain relief, mobility, injury recovery, and overall wellness. Their approach combines Eastern medicine principles with modern therapeutic techniques for personalized healing.
“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.”
— Stephanie McNerney, Google Review · 4.9 ★ avg from 117 reviewsNeroli Med Spa & Beauty Lounge is a comprehensive wellness and aesthetic destination in downtown Charlottesville offering medical-grade skincare treatments, injectable services, body contouring, and spa therapies.

“To be honest, I haven't visited this establishment but my informational needs were 100% met. My rating is based solely on the website and the amazing service I literally imagined in my head I'd receive there as I was browsing this website. Surprisingly, most sites I visited prior to Neroli only listed the treatments offered without explaining what some really weird looking words (treatment options) meant. This website not only organized the treatments by area of the body and options for that area, but it also gave detailed descriptions for each treatment option to help anyone figure out what kind of service is needed and how to best utilize your treatment options. To go above and beyond, the website gave users a short but sweet timeline on what to expect, how long it takes/lasts, pre and post care... I was so impressed that I didn't have to ask AI or Google to help me understand. Bravo for such a user friendly and informative website. Danielle”
