Fifth Element Healing Center

Fifth Element Healing Center is a wellness retreat on Lake Forest Road in Tahoe City, run by practitioners Evon Eisenberg and Marianne Schneider, who bring more than 40 years of combined experience in the healing arts. The center operates as a collective space for holistic health services rather than a traditional day spa.

Services center on energy work and movement: reiki, massage therapy, meditation, sound healing, breathwork and yoga are offered as one-on-one sessions, group classes, or workshops. Sessions are described as personalized, so the exact format of a visit depends on what a client books and with whom.

The space includes a relaxation lounge and areas set up for yoga and movement practice. It's suited to solo visitors, couples, or groups, and the center is open seven days a week from 9am to 7pm. While walk-ins are welcome, a reservation is generally required to see a specific practitioner or join a class, so calling ahead is the more reliable path to securing a session.

Fifth Element also functions as a working studio for holistic practitioners, who rent treatment rooms and open-floor space for their own modalities. That means the roster of available sessions can shift as practitioners join or leave the collective, worth confirming directly before planning a visit around a specific type of treatment.
