I saw Jessie for a massage and she was absolutely fantastic! She's a great listener and is really talented with her hands. She also demonstrated excellent knowledge and plenty of hunger to learn more and continue growing. I really enjoyed my time with her and would happily recommend her to friends. Falls Church Wellness Center seems like a great facility with excellent practitioners!

I have been having the absolute best experience at Falls Church Wellness Center. Not only did I notice differences in my mental health, my friends and family all noticed how much better I was coping. That is one great skill I learned from my Counselor there. Jessica Stohler taught me how to utilize coping skills in my everyday life. I realized journaling, art and even some guided meditation helped me through my recovery process. Do I still struggle at times? Yes, but Jessica is always there to help me find myself again. She has been there for me emotionally but also challenged me to be the best

I have referred many patients to Yael for Reiki and therapy with wonderful results. The comprehensive approach seems to have a more profound and lasting benefit than other approaches. She is truly gifted. My patients are very happy, which makes me very happy. I highly recommend her, especially for issues of anxiety and depression.

I have been a Clinical Massage Therapy patient of Jessica Rimer's for the past three years, and she really does wonderful work on a battered body. I tend to do over-do athletics with a less than in-shape body (and I'm over 50), and Jessica is terrific at not only getting the tension out of tight muscles, but relaxing you as well. I cannot recommend Jessica enough for Massage Therapy, because she customizes your session to fit your needs at the moment. It's a great experience that doesn't leave you feeling more beat up than when your message started. My experience is that you leave feeling relaxed

Jessica is an amazing massage therapist. I followed Jessica from her previous location and am never disappointed. She takes the time to listen to my concerns/needs and plans her treatment around my pain. Her passion is unparalleled and I always leave feeling better. I highly recommend Jessica to anyone who needs a massage therapist.

I've been seeing Jess Rimer, clinical massage therapist, for a little over a year now for massages and taping; I couldn't be more pleased. She provides a calm environment and really focuses on my areas of concern. I've had many massages in the past, but I can say with all sincerity that Jess is one of the absolute best! I recommend her to everyone I know!
