This is the most amazing yin class I've ever taken - true self care and almost indulgent. Chanelle is a fantastic instructor.

** I highly recommend Sweet Balance Wellness to anyone managing chronic pain **Most of my adult life I struggled with chronic pain, muscle tension, and nerve pain due to cervical scoliosis and 3 slipped discs in my lumbar spine. I have worked with several specialists and doctors, chiropractors, massage therapists, and invested in my own self-care practice at home, including yoga and meditation. Managing my pain was a daily thing, and some of my treatment team often left me in more pain after body work than it helped. Due to the muscle imbalance in my shoulders, I have a rock of a tightness in my left shoulder that all the professionals said would there would never be a way to break up that muscle. Additionally, my self care went down the drain having my second child in May 2020, and getting back to myself was becoming a significant challenge and an even greater necessity in order to be present and active with my young children.When I met Chanelle in August for a Hot Stone Massage, the muscles in my lower back and shoulders were so tense and severe that I was crying daily even though I was actively trying to alleviate the pain. I was nervous that Chanelle couldn't help with my pain, but she instantly helped me feel comfortable and in touch with how my emotional wellbeing connects to the pain I felt in my body. We started with a meditation to help me be more present during the session. Chanelle was also meditative in her work, as she took great care in watching how my back and shoulders would react to her treatment. I didn't feel like I was another client or patient, but that she truly cared about my wellbeing and helping me overcome my pain in the least painful way possible.I left my first session with Chanelle feeling lighter than before. I could relax my shoulders for the first time in forever, she was able to break up the "rock" of my left shoulder muscle, and my lower back pain was nonexistent. Chanelle listened to me, let me cry it out and share my story with her in a non-judgmental way.In addition to my current medical treatments, working with Chanelle these last couple of months has helped me get back to my body and start the process of realigning myself with love and self-care after the stressors of the last couple of years. Attending her Deep Stretch Yin Yoga class has helped me re-learn the joy I had for yoga, meditation, and deep tissue massage to manage my pain at home. I look forward to continue working with Chanelle and Sweet Balance Wellness in the future to reinforce my practice and self-care routine.

The in person yin yoga class is one of my favorite Friday evening activities! It’s a great reset if it’s been a while since stretching or being in a yoga studio. Chanelle helps you to feel present and relaxed no matter what’s on your mind! I’ve also had the best facials ever with Chanelle, must try!

I highly recommend The Face & Body Rejuvenation with Chanelle. It leaves my skin young and glowing every time (I love the dermaplaning portion, it gets rid of the dullness on my face and is noninvasive). I appreciate the time Chanelle takes to give me pointers, tips & facts on how to keep my skin at its best, very useful info!

Chanelle brings a unique blend of healing and beauty to her treatments. My body, mind, and skin feel lighter, younger, and relaxed after my sessions with her. She spends time understanding your goals and areas of focus and personalizes each treatment based on your needs. She’s genuine and kind, and I feel amazing after my treatments. She is a gifted therapist who has helped me through a tremendously stressful time, and I am so grateful!

I met Chanelle when she opened in Wakefield Center. In those first few months, some of my classes turned into 1:1 sessions. I immediately felt scene, heard, and embraced! When you around Chanelle, you feel wrapped in love and in acceptance. As someone with multiple health issues as a result of Lyme Disease, the yin yoga classes allow me to relax and destress. The facials are amazing and tailored to your skin and needs! I have multiple allergies, and Chanelle always double checks products before she uses them. I would schedule a hot stone massage with Chanelle weekly if I could! You will not be disappointed whether you choose a yoga class or a spa service!

I had a facial with Chanelle and it was outstanding. From the moment I walked into the studio I felt a sense of calmness from the ambiance, soothing music and relaxing smell of essential oils.The facial was the perfect balance of relaxation (I could have fallen asleep during the massage part) and "business" of extracting the gross stuff and dermaplaning dead skin away! It had been a LONG time since my last facial and I left with glowing skin. I only use the best products on my sensitive skin and I trusted Chanelle with everything she selected to put on my skin.The studio was only a 30 minute drive from Melrose and worth if for the service. I'll definitely be back!
