My health has been up and down my entire life (chronic fatigue, migraines, anxiety, digestion…read moreissues etc) and I had gotten NO WHERE with traditional doctors through my insurance who keep trying to push a new prescription drug on me every time I see them. I knew some basics about Ayurveda already through my own research and decided that seeing someone who specializes in it would be the best solution for me. I found Britt online and was fairly apprehensive to see her after having a terrible previous experience from another person I found on Yelp. We had a short initial consultation call and I got off the phone feeling unsure about whether or not she had asked enough questions or if she would be able to actually help me (everyone else had tried to 'sell' me for an hour). However, when I met her I was BLOWN AWAY!! I soon realized the reason our call was so short: Britt is the type of person that you HAVE to meet in person (although I'm sure she's great for remote clients too). She has such an intuitive sense about her that really guides the sessions- which is SO SO SO important for me when meeting with people because I pick up on things like that instantly. It's a very special quality that is rarely embodied in the way that Britt is able to present + integrate it into her practice... and, I don't even know if she KNOWS she is doing it but I could tell right away that she is very gifted. I have a hard time describing her- but she's like an intuitive guide, life coach, therapist, friend, spiritual being and Ayurvedic expert wrapped into one lovely human. She's the type of person that you could talk to and listen to for days and makes you feel incredibly safe + validated. She listened while I unloaded 25+ years of various traumas onto her and picked up on many things about me that I didn't even realize myself. She also instantly picked up on things that I had been working with a life coach on for YEARS, which is truly just amazing. She was able to identify my type (Vata-Pitta- which was different than any other quiz had told me and DEAD on) and create a plan specifically for me. Because my type tends to be sporadic, non committal and inactive when overwhelmed- she made sure my plan was perfectly tailored with those traits in mind. I left feeling excited, empowered, loved and ready to take things on- which is often NOT how I feel when leaving sessions like this so it truly was overall just the best experience. I highly recommend seeing Britt, even if there's nothing major you're looking to fix because she can even help with overall quality of life improvement too- which we ALL need. I haven't began the plan she made for me (literally just saw her yesterday night and was so excited I had to write this ASAP) but I already know that it will be life changing and even my first session alone was enough to make it all worth it!

Britt is an indescribably evolved, compassionate being who leverages her innate gifts and iterated…read moreskills to empower everyone she works with, to an unprecedented extent. Every time we communicate, Britt is able to intuit emotional derivatives and masked root causes, and she conducts immersive exercises to allow me the space to impart them on my own terms. She has helped me process so many events in my life, pulling out common threads and manifesting epiphanies I would have never thought possible. She imparted wisdom that has manifested the most beautiful season in my life, with full understanding of how to manage the cycles of life to come. For anyone considering an intro call with Britt - do it! You'll learn more about your past, present and future self and get to design your life with maximized insight. Thank you, Britt!

She was already a fully fledged Ayurvedic practitioner when we began working together in 2008. I…read morebenefited so immensely from our sessions that they completely changed the course of my life for the better. She later procured her LAc (acupuncture license), on top of her existing depth of anatomy-focused training as an Iyengar yoga teacher. I've found that her level of articulation for both internal organ health and musculoskeletal wellness, and how the two relate, lend themselves to uniquely comprehensive and effective treatment plans. I also went to school for Chinese Medicine, and Jessie is firmly in the tier of "practitioner's practitioner." She is also quite kind, and I would say has a good sense of humor :) she aims to give her clients as much as they can actionably take on in a given session, and not more -- so progress is gradual, but also steady and measurable. I attempted to get treatment for my health challenges while living overseas in Asia, but didn't find that the suggestions "stuck" for a number of reasons. Working with specifically Jessie was actually a major influence in my choice to return to California, so believe me when I say that working with her is literally worth traveling to the other side of the world. Can't recommend her enough!

I went to Jessie for a Shirodhara session as I was completely mesmerized by the concept and wanted…read moreto try it out for it's healing benefits. I must say that she and the practice did not disappoint! I felt taken care of from the moment I walked in. Jessie is very kind and thoughtful. She asked if I had any questions and explained the entire process. I felt comfortable and relaxed the entire time. Shirodhara is like a warm soothing journey into your deeper being that allows you to drop into a meditative state and rest there so that your body can do the work of healing. I stayed in a tender present state for several hours after the session (like that ooey gooey lovely state! :D) and felt more centered for several days after. I feel that the practice may be beneficial to anyone with hormone imbalances, anxiety, stress, or similarly related issues. It was a wonderful experience. Practicalities: -If you have very thick hair it may take a couple washings to get it back to normal. On the plus side this practice hydrates your hair like nothing else! -Bring a towel with you for after the session so that you don't get oil on your car seat/clothes. -Wear clothes you don't mind getting a little oil on. -Plan on having a free schedule after your session to get the full benefits of this practice. -This is not the best practice if you have any neck pain issues. -Enjoy the magic!

I literally try every form of health and wellness modality at least once. Previously I'd seen a few…read moreother cranio sacral therapists over the years. Generally, I've liked the experience. Seeing Lara is different. She doesn't just perform the subtle movements or actions of cranio sacral. She has a presence, a calm energy that permeates throughout the session. In my personal experience working with Lara, I began to address and notice subtle pains in my body. We also talked at certain points of the session and Lara would ask me whether I noticed if there was something my body was trying to tell me. I'd seen her a few times now and in the most recent session, I had a breakthrough in getting in touch with my emotions. None of this was intended, it just happened out of normal conversation and Lara providing intentional and delicate care that she does. I broke down in tears + spoke of fears of moving forward that was buried inside of me, it was a safe space for me to release all that was locked inside of me. I am truly thankful to have met Lara. I'll continue to see her. It's a nice break from my daily life / work hustle and bustle.

Thank you, Diane!

THIS BODYWORK PROVIDER HAS A CAT. Booked on short notice due to another office being unavailable…read more Unfortunately the website does not notify you until after booking that this provider has a cat that sometimes visits the studio. As someone with a severe cat allergy this was a non-starter. I felt like this note needed to go somewhere as there are no refunds without a phone call + 24+ hrs before booking for first time clients. The post booking process also informs you that you cannot arrive more than 5 minutes early as no one may be available to buzz you in. A bummer as this provider seems to be otherwise highly rated.

I cannot praise and recommend Alison, her healing hands and presence enough! I started seeing…read moreAlison (based on her wonderful reviews) shortly before the pandemic for my wellbeing. I left my first session knowing I was in the hands of an incredible healer. She is so attuned to your mind, body, and spirit and knows exactly what you need. Grounded, highly skilled, experienced and intuitive, Alison cares, nurtures, and renews you and your body. She is a wonderful, real person who genuinely cares for you and your health. She also lets you know what's going on in your body and gives you excellent self-care suggestions. I returned in 2021 after some injuries and health issues and continue to be deeply grateful for the excellent personalized massage and therapeutic treatment I receive from her.

She was such a perfect choice with her extensive knowledge of pregnancy/birth/mama bodies and I left feeling AMAZING. Like floating on a cloud. Which was probably all the pent up toxins coming out of muscles but she did that! It was the best massage of my life. And I love massages. So I keep booking and recommending her even though it will make it harder for me to book appointments. #yourewelcome A session with Alison is downright healing. Her extensive body knowledge paired with her grounded but somehow still effervescent nature make for a wonderful massage experience (and hour or more of lightweight free therapy/cathartic convo if you're chatty like me!). She's about the work and isn't going to try to sell you 25 products and a facial. I have a crap ton of ailments and injuries which have thrown other massage therapists for a loop, but they've been nbd for Alison. She works with and through them without any further injury or irritation. I've tried soooo many different massage therapists through the bay and truly feel like I've found the best. Book your appointment and thank me later!
