About

Harisa Wellness Center has operated in East Amherst since July 2011, in Suite 7 at 6161 Transit Rd inside Burgio Health. It brings Ayurvedic therapy, massage, skin care and spa packages together in one place, and it also offers yoga classes, with class recommendations available on its website.

Ayurvedic care begins with a first-visit consultation of about an hour, priced at $100 plus the cost of herbs. Follow-up consultations are $40 plus herbs, and a 30-minute follow-up at $35 is usually booked one to two months after the first visit. The business presents Ayurvedic treatment as a lengthy, multi-stage course and says it uses only organic herbs and herbal preparations. Its 90-minute musculoskeletal management package at $150 combines warm oil massage with herbal bundle massage. Ayurvedic services are not covered by insurance.

The massage menu includes Swedish, deep tissue, hot stone and medical massage, in sessions of 30 to 90 minutes. Blissful Sleep massage is a 50-minute session at $70 that is covered by Univera insurance. Prenatal and postnatal massage is not offered in the first trimester and is scheduled after three months. Skin care options include herbal facials, a gold facial that uses gold as an Ayurvedic treatment the business describes as anti-ageing, a diamond facial, and facelift massage, an oil massage for the face, neck and jaw line that uses cleanser, aromatherapy and honey. Several spa packages pair a choice of organic facial with massage, and Shirodhara along with some packages is not scheduled during the winter season.

Univera Healthcare is accepted for massage therapy. Members whose employer participates may be eligible for up to 12 massage sessions per year with a copay, and senior citizens with Medicare or Blue Cross Blue Shield may be eligible for massage that is partly or fully covered. Independent Health wellness program cards and FlexFit and FlexFit Select with Landmark are also accepted. Payment can be made by cash, check, wellness cards or credit cards. Spa Finder and Spa Wish gift cards are accepted, and gift cards can be bought online and printed out or purchased through PayPal and mailed.

According to the business, it has received several local honors: Best of Buffalo 2014 in Massage Therapy, a 2016 Buffalo Award in Massage Therapy, a 2016 Community Choice Award naming it a top massage business in Amherst, Buffalo Business Hall of Fame recognition in 2016 after three consecutive years of the Buffalo Award, an Ignite Award in 2018, and a Buffalo Business First listing in 2021.

Ayurveda is treated as a holistic, natural system of health for all ages, and the center uses organic herbs and herbal preparations within multi-stage Ayurvedic treatment plans.
