VIE HEALING’s Wellness Magic Hits Equinox and The Sunset Marquis

If you’ve been following us on The Chalkboard Mag, you know we’ve got a major soft spot for VIE HEALING. Their holistic approach to wellness has us hooked—think acupuncture, cupping, gua sha, ear seeding, and more, all wrapped up in one magical package. So, when we heard that VIE HEALING has taken up residency at select Equinox locations in Los Angeles and the ever-glamorous Sunset Marquis, we couldn’t wait to share the news!

To get the full scoop, we sat down with Mona Dan, the brilliant mind behind VIE HEALING, to chat about what this residency means for the brand and what you can expect when you book your session.

How do the core philosophies of Vie Healing’s Traditional Chinese Medicine align with Equinox Spa’s vision of holistic wellness?
At VIE HEALING, our core philosophy of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) aligns seamlessly with Equinox Spa’s vision of holistic wellness. VIE HEALING focuses on balancing the body, mind, and spirit through ancient practices such as acupuncture, cupping, and herbal remedies. Equinox Spa, known for its comprehensive approach to fitness and wellness, emphasizes a holistic lifestyle that includes physical fitness, mental well-being, and luxurious self-care experiences.

Both VIE HEALING and Equinox Spa cater to a discerning clientele seeking transformative experiences, not just services. We both foster a sense of community and an elevated sense of luxury, ensuring our clients feel supported and cared for from A to Z. Our shared mission is to enhance the quality of life and health of our clients through daily to weekly wellness practices, making holistic health an integral part of their lifestyle.

This alignment in philosophy and mission creates a synergy that elevates the wellness experience, combining the ancient wisdom of VIE HEALING’s TCM with the modern, luxurious fitness and spa services of Equinox Spa.

Since the announcement of the partnership, what has been the initial feedback from Equinox Spa members regarding the new Vie Healing TCM treatments?
Since the announcement of our partnership, the initial feedback from Equinox Spa members has been overwhelmingly positive. Both staff and members are genuinely intrigued and excited about integrating elements of root-based healing. They appreciate the opportunity to experience the best of health, fitness, and wellness all under one roof.

What’s even more exciting is that an Equinox membership is not required to access VIE HEALING’s treatments. We also accept insurance and ClassPass, making our services even more accessible to a broader audience.

What are some signature Vie Healing treatments you feel are musts for people that are not familiar with TCM and who are they for?
The Foundation Treatment: This comprehensive treatment combines acupuncture, cupping, auricular therapy, and ear seeds. It starts by addressing root issues in the body through acupuncture, which works with the blood level. Cupping then supports internal blood flow from the muscle layer. Auricular acupuncture and ear seeds directly impact nerves, primarily the vagus nerve, on the ear, stimulating the brain’s reflex centers to relax and reset the body. This treatment is ideal for overall wellness, stress relief, and pain management.

Gua Sha: This technique uses a smooth-edged tool to gently scrape the skin, promoting circulation and reducing inflammation. It’s beneficial for skin health, muscle pain, and immune function. Perfect for those looking to rejuvenate their skin or alleviate chronic pain.

Ear Seeding: Small seeds are placed on specific points on the ear to stimulate acupressure points. This non-invasive treatment can help with stress relief, pain management, and overall wellness. Great for those seeking a gentle introduction to TCM techniques.

These treatments offer a holistic approach to wellness, catering to various health needs and providing a full-service experience.
