We Have the Best Neighbors: Introducing Very Well

There is something we genuinely love about where we are located. The beautiful quads out front, the convenient Baltimore location, and the community we are building here make it a place our clients are happy to come to. And then there is what is happening one floor above us.
Very Well is Baltimore's premier integrative wellness center, tucked right upstairs from Nourish and Align at The Village of Cross Keys. They have built something special up there, a space where ancient wisdom and cutting-edge technology meet in a way that feels both grounded and genuinely exciting. We recently had a mother/daughter CST session and we recommended they do a hands-off service upstairs at Very Well before coming in for their session with us. They made it an immersive experience day. After that we wanted to share how this beautifully it pairs with the work we do together in a CST session with others.
When you come in for CST, the state you arrive in matters. A nervous system that is already beginning to settle, a body that is already warm and a little softer, will receive the work differently than one that is still carrying the weight of the day. Very Well's hands-off therapeutic services are exactly the kind of preparation that makes that possible.
What They Offer
Very Well's hands-off services are sessions where you simply rest and let the technology do the work. Nothing is required of you except showing up and being still. For adults who already have a lot on their plate, this simplicity is huge.
PEMF (Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Therapy)
PEMF works at the cellular level, infusing the body with natural magnetic energy that supports recovery, reduces pain, and helps reset the body's own bioelectric rhythms. It is best experienced before other treatments, which makes it a natural first stop before coming down for CST.

Full-Body Red Light Therapy
Red light therapy uses specific wavelengths of light and near-infrared energy to support tissue repair, reduce inflammation, and promote cellular health.
Very Well's red light bed is the most powerful in Baltimore and delivers a full-body session in as little as 16 minutes.

Infrared Sauna and Salt Room
This combination of deep penetrating heat and the mineral-rich air of a salt room supports detoxification, relaxation, and a full-body warmth that genuinely stays with you. Imagine arriving for CST having just stepped out of the sauna
Modern Sound Bath
An immersive vibroacoustic experience that uses sound and resonance to regulate the nervous system and encourage a deeply meditative state. It requires nothing from you and gives a great deal back. For adults carrying anxiety, chronic stress, or a nervous system that rarely gets to rest, this one is worth your time. This is personally my favoirite hands- off service.

The sound bath also deserves a special mention for families. Children, particularly those who experience anxiety, sensory sensitivities, difficulty settling, or the effects of chronic stress, often respond beautifully to sound-based therapies. The vibrations and tones in a sound bath are processed by the body as much as by the ears, creating a felt sense of safety and calm that doesn't require any effort or cooperation from a child. There's nothing to do, no instructions to follow. You simply rest and let the sound work. For kids who struggle to wind down, who carry tension in their bodies, or who are navigating big emotions, this can be a wonderfully accessible and gentle entry point into wellness care. We encourage you to ask Very Well about whether their sound bath is appropriate for your child. My 12 year old asked to go back after her first experience with the sound bed.
Why This Matters for Your CST Session
CST works with the nervous system. So does everything Very Well offers upstairs. That is not a coincidence, it is an opportunity. When you arrive for your session already quieted, already warm, already in a receptive state, the work we do together simply goes deeper. Patterns that might take several sessions to begin shifting can start to move sooner. The body, already given permission to rest, tends to be more willing to let go.

Very Well also offers acupuncture, advanced cupping, and massage therapy through their skilled clinical team. Their practitioners are thoughtful, their space is beautiful, and their commitment to whole-person care is evident in everything they do.
We are so glad they are up there. We think you will be too.

Healing is not a single door. It is a series of openings. We're glad you're here, and we're glad Very Well is upstairs.
