I've been going to Dr. Gries for a couple of years and have never felt better in my life. He has a gift for treating all of me, mind, body and spirit. I started with him for long covid symptoms after I gave up on western medicine. He has healed that and now I go to him for maintenance to stay happy, healthy and whole. Laura is the best massage therapist I have ever gone to. You can tell that she truly cares about her client's wellbeing in the way that she does her massage practice. This is not just a job for her. She is truly a gift and I highly recommend her.

I HIGHLY recommend Awakenings Health and all the services they provide. I have been going there weekly for about three months now, and can personally testify that Awakenings Health will truly change your life. Dr. Laura Gries provides the most INCREDIBLE massage you could ever imagine! She is a Master in both traditional and Thai massage, (I have done them both), and both are by far the best massages I have ever had! I feel it is especially important during the winter months when our muscles are tight and achy to get weekly massages. She also teaches personal Yoga. I love the one on one attention and not being in a class where I would feel awkward. She personalizes the workout to my ability, so that I am getting the most out of each pose and session. I also go to Awakenings Health for Counseling and Acupuncture and Dr. Adam Gries is phenomenal! He is so peaceful and instantly relaxes me. He is an incredible counselor and is helping me through stored trauma and healing my inner child. I don’t know how acupuncture works, but it does! I am so impressed by his knowledge and how he is able to release the pain in my body. I feel so good after a session, mentally and physically. Laura and Adam Gries are helping me so very much to get my mind, body and spirit back in harmony and I can’t thank them enough!

I have had a chronic feet injury (tendon inflammation on one and plantar fasciitis on the other) since an year and by the time I had met Dr. Gries, I had gone through 3 months of physical therapy and I was told as a next step to consider steroidal injections or other such more intrusive methods. That is when I looked for alternatives and landed on acupuncture on a friend's suggestion and found Dr. Gries online purely based on the reviews. I have been with him for 3 months now and I have tried couple of other acupuncturists in between and I must say, he is really amazing on multiple fronts. He has a very systematic method to treatment as well as track our progress, he is very detailed and transperent and extremely easy to talk to- judgement free. While my feet are much much better today and I see the light at the end of the tunnel and feel I will be back to normal soon, I am grateful for not just the treatment but my relationship with pain; Dr. Gries talked through my experience with chronic pain and really helped me see things differently and it has been incredible; I have also started to work with Laura on bringing in yoga and exercise back into my life and strengthen my feet systematically- they together are extremely passionate and truly holistic in their approach and I am really grateful for all the support I am receiving. I highly recommend both of them.

I have always leaned toward a non traditional approach when it comes to health and healing. My mother is a naturopathic doctor in NY and when I moved to Raleigh, it was important to me to find a way to navigate life and health in a similar fashion. As a new mom, I struggled with postpartum depression and all the emotions and hormones that came with it. I remember calling my OB for advice and was given a script for antidepressants to cope. I had reservation/fear of taking meds and I consulted my mom about it. She suggested acupuncture, and after a little research/reading rave reviews I found Awakenings. Deana, who mainly manages the scheduling explained to me that Dr. Gries specialized not only in acupuncture, but in life coaching as well. With that recommendation I decided to give both a chance. BEST DECISION EVER. From the moment I first stepped in his office, I felt peace. He is such an incredible listener and truly cares! I get an instant sense of calm and have no problem being transparent knowing I am in a safe place. In the past 3 years he has helped me navigate marriage, family hardships, pregnancy/postpartum, motherhood and whatever else life throws my way. I believe his guidance (in addition to the magic of needles) has given me skills and helped me grow as a person. I cannot say enough positive things about Awakenings!

In 1999 I contracted Lyme Disease and have had quite a colorful health journey ever since. There have been an array of pains and problems such as GI pain, joint problems, eye infections and allergies. For most of my pains, regular doctors could not find a source to treat, so I have had to live with it. Lyme Disease has caused arthritis in my knees which landed me 4 knee surgeries in 8 years. In 2017 I started looking into acupuncture for my daughter's shoulder. Finding Dr. Gries who had an orthopedic background as well as being a doctor of eastern and western medicine was very intriguing. At first, I was skeptical that acupuncture could live up to all it claimed, but now I am a believer. The treatments and herbs give actual relief to my Lyme Disease related pains. Most importantly, Dr. Gries doesn't think I am crazy because there is no definitive "source." He found 2 of the tears in my knee and has gotten me through 3 of my surgeries. The last being a full knee replacement…

I went here for my first massage experience and I couldn't be happier. Laura was my masseuse, she was very professional and gave an incredible massage. She asked me questions about how active my lifestyle is, any sore spots, any areas she should focus more on or not touch. It was extremely relaxing and curated to exactly what I was looking for. Overall a wonderful first massage experience and I can't wait to go back again!

“In the last 20+ years, I have enjoyed many classes and retreats with some gifted teachers who are tuned into the truth, beauty and compassion that lies behind the asanas/poses of yoga. Three teachers stand out as masters of the art and science of yoga and Laura Gries is one of them. Each class is specially crafted to teach the heart and message behind the movements of the body. Since working with Laura, my health has expanded exponentially–the health of my body and soul. She has actually taught me how to breathe again and her instruction is helping my spirit in some very meaningful ways! Her warmth and engaging spirit are a bonus!”

We have been attending yoga classes offered by Laura in our community for almost two years. The classes have been exceptional due to Laura's extensive knowledge of the healing benefits of yoga and her caring and supportive teaching approach. Regardless of each participant’s skill level, Laura makes the sessions both productive and enjoyable. She continually brings fresh perspectives, ensures that we are engaging in each pose in a safe and effective manner, and checks on our welfare in between sessions. Since working with Laura, we have experienced many benefits from practicing yoga that have led to positive impacts on our health and well-being. We appreciate each class with Laura and her genuine interest in the individual progress of each of her students. Laura’s passion and commitment to her work is truly exemplary.

I have been a patient of Dr. Gries for several years. At least once a month. He has helped me tremendously! He is one of the most caring friends I have- for body, soul, and spirit. He has helped me improve and maintain the quality of my life. I always feel much better after his treatments. He can help you physically and mentally

“The depth and experience that Laura brings to yoga comes through in her thoughtful teaching. She gently challenges and encourages us to literally and physically move in new ways. I have been a yoga teacher for 15 years, and her adjustments are some of the best I’ve ever seen! Thank you!”

Loved my Thai Massage with Laura! It worked wonders not only physically, but mentally as well. I felt 15 years younger at the end of the appointment. It helped ease my stiff joints and tight muscles and I felt much more energetic for days after. I highly recommend Laura's Thai Massage and am hooked!

Adam Gries gets results! His customized therapy catalyzes both immediate resolutions for acute health needs and progressive healing of chronic issues. You can feel the difference during and after a session! Additionally, he couples his proven acupuncture skills with insightful mind-body coaching. You could double the stars on this 5-star rating scale and it still would not be enough to rate Adam's healing impact.
