Cosmetic Acupuncture is Here!



For the first time, we are offering cosmetic acupuncture at Holistic Health & Fitness.  Olivia is trained in the Mei Zen Cosmetic Acupuncture System, which has been shown to improve your health and energy, while also improving your physical appearance.

Cosmetic Acupuncture is very popular in larger U.S. Cities, 
but has been hard to find in St Louis - until now.

Here are just a few of the benefits of Mei Zen Cosmetic Acupuncture:
  • Reduces wrinkling
  • Minimizes crows feet
  • Firms skin and improves tone
Special Pricing for a Limited Time! (Special ends August 31).
  • Initial Cosmetic Acupuncture Session: $75 for 90 minutes     (Save $35).   Clients who've already seen Olivia for acupuncture do not need this initial session, and can book a follow up 60 minute session.
  • Follow-up Cosmetic Acupuncture Session: $45 for 60 minutes (save $30)  Anyone who's seen Olivia previously for acupuncture is eligible for follow-up rates, even if it was for general, non-cosmetic acupuncture.

What's a session like?
During your acupuncture session, Olivia will insert needles into the face and neck, along with a few into your arms and legs.  You will rest for about 30 minutes while the needles take effect.

How many sessions will I need?
For noticeable and lasting results, most clients will want to receive ten sessions.  Booking them in close succession (twice weekly) improves your results.  Ask at the front desk if you have questions on how to book your sessions, or call us at 314-647-3999.

I haven't seen Olivia before.  Can I Receive Cosmetic Acupuncture?
If you haven't ever seen Olivia for acupuncture, you'll need an initial 90 minute session.  Book an "Acupuncture-New Patient" session online.  See our special pricing for these sessions above.

Can I book Cosmetic Acupuncture appointments online?
Yes, if you've seen Olivia before, book your cosmetic acupuncture session as "Cosmetic Acupuncture-follow up" in our appointment drop down menu.  If you are new to Olivia, first book an "Acupuncture-New Patient" appointment.   Click here to book online.  

Are there any side effects?
Rarely, some clients may experience redness or slight bruising. Therefore, it's best to book your session away from any important public events, like speaking engagements or dinner parties.

Specials for June



Reflexology Success Stories

Emmanuelle is our dedicated reflexologist, with advanced training in the technique.  Many massage centers list reflexology as a service, but they often don't have therapists who specialize in the technique like Emmanuelle does. 


Emmanuelle has dedicated herself to reflexology, taking many advanced training courses in esoteric methods of healing the body and spirit through massage of the feet and hands.  We consistently get positive feedback on her technique and healing intuition; she tunes into the body, finding areas of disharmony that even the client was unaware of.

Check out these Reflexology Success Stories 

Foot Pain from Plantar Fasciitis is Relieved
"I have suffered with plantar fasciitis for years. I teach and am on my feet a lot during the day. I have had steroid shots in my heels and bought expensive orthotics for my shoes.  I had heard Reflexology could help and booked an appointment.  As soon as I got up from the treatment table, I felt like I was walking on a cloud. I have been a regular client ever since. I try to go every other week for treatment. I recommend reflexology therapy to anyone with chronic foot pain." 

Relief from Long Time Neuropathy Symptoms
"I have been getting massages my entire adult life - 40+ years.  Most of these massages included foot massages which were often advertised as "reflexology".  Now I understand the benefits from seeing a Clinical Reflexologist who has specialized training in the technique.  After  only one session, I felt like a new person!  I have suffered from neuropathy for a while now, and have tried everything under the sun to alleviate the pain and numbness in my feet and toes, including vitamins, physical therapy, and foot baths.  Specialized reflexology is the only thing that provided lasting relief. " 
  
Don't forget:  Reflexology also Treats many more Conditions---some may surprise you:

  • Anxiety and PTSD
  • Back Pain and Sciatica
  • Sinus Pressure and Pain
  • Headaches & Migraines
  • And much more.....

During June, save $10 off a sixty minute reflexology session:  You pay only $55 for an hour session (includes warm towels applied to the feet before your session).

Call us with any questions at  314-647-3999 or  book an appointment online .

We are a Comprehensive Bodywork Center
(Offering so much more than the massage chains!)

Many of you have seen massage chains popping up in your local strip malls.  We are pleased to see massage enter the mainstream, as therapeutic touch can be beneficial for everyone.  However, the downside is that people begin to believe that the chain-store approach is the only form of therapeutic bodywork---in many cases, a more specialized form of massage is necessary.  

We have assembled a team of therapists trained in a wide variety of techniques, including: 
  • Myofascial Release
  • Lymphatic Drainage
  • Raindrop Therapy
  • CranioSacral Technique (Upledger Method)
  • Orthopedic Based Bodywork
  • Reiki
  • Pranic Healing
  • Deep Tissue & Touch
  • Zero Balancing
  • Visceral Manipulation
  • Hot Stone
  • Swedish Methods
  • Reflexology
  • and more....
We are proud of our diverse and well trained group of therapists!  To see the specialties of each therapist, check out our massage page.

Late Cancellation Fees:  

We Don't Like Charging Them....
..........and Clients Sure Don't Like Paying Them!  



We get it.  Life can be complicated, and unexpected events can affect your schedule.  We try our best to accommodate any changes you might need to make.  However,please consider the following regarding appointments.  

Your Therapists Time:   They've set aside time to care for you, and will have an unused hour if you don't keep your appointment---please respect their commitment to your health.
 
Other Clients' Health:  If you have a session reserved and don't use it, others were not able to be treated - most time slots have multiple requests from several clients.
 
Emergencies:  Let us know immediately of any changes, and we'll try to fill the slot without charging you.  We would rather fill the slot than charge you!
 
Voicemail:  Always leave a message the minute you are aware of a change--we check messages offsite, and may be able to fill your slot without charging you.
 
Online Changes:  Before midnight the day prior to your session, the online appointment system will allow you to cancel online.  Doing so often allows others to see the open slot and fill it.  In this case, please also give us a call after cancelling the appointment.
 
Wait Lists:  If you have a frequently-changing work or child-care schedule, ask to be added to a wait-list instead of booking an appointment.  You will be called the day of your request, when your schedule is more predictable.

Please help us out by honoring your appointments
