RE SARA COLEMAN I am a 70 year old female who just over a year ago had suffered from Covid, shingles and a mild stroke in a short time frame. The effects were crippling. I could not walk properly, I staggered sideways. My balance was way off all the time. I was a very active person so not being able to walk straight was a big hit on my emotional state as well as the physical. I had to use a walker within my home and when I left for outings due to the lack of balance and overall muscle weakness. About 1.5 years ago my vision got hazy even though I was wearing prescription glasses. My brain felt foggy all the time. 6 months prior to the stroke, I had started experiencing loss of bladder control at random intervals. I ended up having to wear pull-ups at all times of the day and night to avoid accidents. My family physician did not know where to send me or how to best help my situation until a cardiologist specialist in a local hospital said that if there is one person who can help you it is Julia Lott, the local manual osteopath, who he heard of from a colleague who she treated. That day I decided to call Julia, after reading her reviews and due to the cardiologist recommendation. The first time I saw Julia for our initial appointment, Julia made me feel welcome, warm and was certain she could help subside my symptoms that I was battling with for over a year by that time. Julia asked a lot of questions about my past medical and personal history and made a very thorough plan of care that best suited me. I felt that I was in very capable hands at that point. Julia's gentle hands-on approach was so comforting and pleasant that I was able to fall asleep on the treatment table which was a first for me. The very first treatment session, I was able to walk out the door without any assistance, staggering, or wobbling at all which was a miracle in my opinion. Within a few more sessions I noticed that my bladder control has gotten stronger to the point where now I only wear pull-ups as a precaution when I leave the house for longer periods of time but at home I do not require them as often now. After several sessions with Julia I stopped needing to use the walker at home, daily as before, and only when I felt tired or weak. One of the most recent miracles I have experienced is improvement in my vision clarity which was astounding and not something I even anticipated. If you are in need of help and did not receive it anywhere else, your best friend and healer would be Julia Lott from active balance healing. She has changed my life for the better and I cannot be more grateful to her than I already am. Thank you Julia for all your kindness and help. read more

My back pain history started more than 20 years ago. I have tried many remediesand have seen a lot of professionals for this back pain: physiotherapy, acupuncture, monthly cortisone injections, chiropractor manipulation and even spinal surgery. The pain in my lower back returned after several years post-op. I was desperate and in severe pain when I came across her website; After reading about her education, and methods of treatment I decided to give her a try and have zero regrets! My first impression of Julia's initial assessment was that she was thorough, knowledgeable, and very welcoming. I know what I am talking about; I have other experiences to compare her to. She asked many questions about my medical history and documented everything in detail. Most notably are Julia's hands; She creates miracles with her hands! I came to her with sharp, almost unbearable, debilitating back pain. From the first session I felt palpable relief. The miracle happened the following day: the sharp pain receded and I was able to "taste a pain-free life" again. Julia did more than just treat my pain, she also recommended many strengthening exercises for my back. I became a regular patient of Julia's and recommend her from the bottom of my heart to all who seek pain relief, as she is a top notch professional in her field. read more

Julia is an excellent Osteopath. She was so caring and attentive, she made me feel very comfortable and relaxed. Before I went for treatments I was a mess! I was suffering from severe vertigo that at times had me in bed for days from the dizziness and nausea. On top of which i had terrible sciatic pain radiating down my leg making it difficult to do pretty much anything. On top of that, my legs were uneven. Before I went for our first appointment i was strongly considering surgical intervention. I was desperate. I was also skeptical about what Julia could do for me going in, but i was willing to try anything. I had no idea what to expect when I started seeing Julia and after a the first session I was blown away! She did this relaxing and soothing scalp massage and traction that instantly gave me relief from my vertigo symptoms. She also did these awesome unique leg stretches on me that worked muscles that i didn't know were bothering me. After seeing her I noticed real improvement in my symptoms. By the end my legs were even, and pain and vetigo symptoms were much improved. And thankfully no surgery! I would definitely recommend her to my friends and family. She's the only therapist I trust. Thanks Julia! read more

Julia is so caring and intuitive. I came in for a hip issue as well as back pain. After my first visit, I already noticed a difference and look forward to getting my body back into a proper function, vs being in dysfunction. I loved how she explained everything as we went along, she got a full history that was very thorough, and is so respectful when it comes to the hands on portion. Here's where I believe Julia tops it all for me. I am a very spiritual person, and Julia is an absolute light worker. She not only understands that the body can store physical trauma, but it can also disguise some pain caused by emotional trauma. She not only is aware of this, she fully invites you to let yourself feel the release of such pain. Thank you Julia, for being such a beautiful soul. I look forward to our next sessions. read more

Julia has such a loving approach to healing and treating injury. I reached out to her with my most recent "flare up" of a 6 year journey with chronic pain and she was able to give me relief in one session and by my third, was able to get my on my big vacation that I had lost hope of going on due to pain and mobility issues. With thorough assessment and attention to detail, Julia was able to identify the cause of my pain and provides treatment to support healing. If you're feeling defeated with your body I recommend you see Julia as she is not only a physical healer but brings such positive energy and love to promote overall well-being. read more
