From the moment I walked into the center, I knew I would be in good hands. Crystal is so warm and…read morewelcoming and the center is clean and inviting. Not only is Christine highly knowledgeable and skilled, but she also has a genuine passion for helping her patients achieve optimal health and wellness. Both my son and I have seen remarkable improvements in our health since working with Christine. She's helped us uncover and address underlying imbalances, optimize our nutrition, and implement lifestyle changes that have had a profound impact on our quality of life. If you're looking for someone who will treat you as a whole person and empower you to take control of your health, I highly recommend Christine!

I…read moreget that the body and diseases can be complicated but explanations were long and drawn out and really hard to follow along with. I Was hoping she would be more precise and to the point. Her testing is unreliable and anxiety producing. just to make a thermogram appointment, your credit card information is taken down immediately. Weird but ok. Results took much longer than usual- 3 weeks. They are abnormal. She's claiming it could be this or that or something else. She claimed that I'm estrogen dominant and to throw all my essential oils as they are estrogenic. She kept saying "make sure it's benign" and I asked her "are you saying I have breast cancer?" In which she responded that the thermogram has indicated that I've had some serious physiological changes" So I go to my NMD for a second option and she states that she too, used to use thermograms but threw them out after it produced way too high number of false positives and was having to refer patients in for mammograms- and the mammogram results typically came back as normal anyway. This NMD tested me right there so I can see results for myself. she also tested all my hormone levels and said it's the complete opposite way. That I am absolutely NOT estrogen dominant, that I actually had a bit more progesterone then estrogen and that if I had listened to Christine's advice, it would have messed my hormone levels up. Christine advised me to go in for a 300$ ultra ultrasound and go back to her for testing (to figure out what's causing all this) and to redo the thermogram. Thank goodness I won't be. It's a a huge relief knowing that there's nothing wrong with me, but what a waste of time effort and money. If you get abnormal readings I would suggest getting a second or third opinion with someone who is a licensed physician and knows what they are doing. Do not get suckered into believing there is something wrong with you when that's not the case at all

Oh my goodness is the only way to begin this review…read more I was in Mendocino for a long weekend and decided I really needed a massage. Of course I did this very last minute (the day of) and I called around. Sue was able to get me in that evening for a 2 hour "Raindrop Therapy" massage. Her space is a charming little cottage off of the main strip in Mendocino. Both she and her space are absolutely delightful! Before we began we discussed my needs, likes, dislikes, what's going on in my life, etc. This helps her get a feel for me and what my body may need. Once the massage began, we talked a bit about oils and what some of them were doing for my body. She was very generous with the essential oils (which I love) and her time to really work on my body. The combination of her knowledge, firm touch understanding of a bodies needs, oils, warm towels and stones... so wonderful. The massage ended with a salt scrub on my feet, and the ringing of Tibetan singing bowls being chimed under the bed. When I came out of the room I was greeted with a delightful cup of herbal tea. I actually smelled a bit like a wonderful floral/herbal tea when I left. I let the oils stay on my skin all night so that they could work their "magic". I live down in Marin but am already thinking about planning another overnight visit to Mendocino just so I can get another one of these amazing massages.

I got a hot stones massage from Sue- it was really lovely, but more importantly- Sue herself is so…read morelovely! Cannot recommend enough. Next time I am able to go up to Mendocino will definitely seek Sue out again!

If you need miracles and healing... this is where to go…read more I highly recommend it. My family and I have done many blissful healing retreats at Shambhala. It feels like Heaven~On~Earth. It's located on a peaceful, pristine mountaintop. We have done many advanced healing treatments here. And we have always experienced healing miracles and blessings beyond our wildest imaginations. 1. Soul Therapy~ 1 Hour spent in total relaxation, inside a breathtakingly beautiful pyramid covered in sacred healing crystals... to me it feels like floating/suspended in the most loving peaceful stillness found anywhere... feels like I'm ONE with God. This can also be done remotely as a distance treatment. 2. AST- Advanced Soul Therapy~ A six week distance-energetic healing treatment backed up with an individualized homeopathic remedy. WOW. You can order and experience this from anywhere in the world--as it's a distance energetic healing treatment broadcast daily from a cutting edge device, directly to you. Great Value! I've done this 3 times so far and I look forward to doing many more. My children have also done it several times with excellent results. So many benefits and improvements--physically, spiritually and mentally. I felt my cells tingling everywhere in my body...even deep in my toes, etc. It felt like my very DNA was changing and my body was "waking up" and healing profoundly at the cellular level. I have seen and experienced real miracles with this treatment! 3. BWO- Brainwave Optimization Intensives/Retreats/Sessions~ My friends, children and I have done this many, many times. This is a proven treatment that heals the brain profoundly. My family had endured long-term crisis and harm in our past and we all had chronic PTSD, and debilitating conditions. This is such an easy and non-invasive holistic healing approach that nets HUGE results. It is cutting edge and highly effective. Severe trauma creates brain damage-"trenches"/ingrained patterns/habits in the brain-personality-body... this technique actually heals those patterns at the source-- the brain-- This treatment creates healthy new neural pathways in the brain. For me, it produced new calmer, more grounded, mindful behaviors & inner PEACE. I know of no other treatment on Earth that produces these results. And it's easy & utterly relaxing. You just lay back... relaxed & comfortable... in a zero gravity chair with eyes closed and listen to "musical" tones that produce a deep meditative state; as your brain basically receives the pattern to heal itself. I continued to heal and feel the benefits increase and improve even after the treatments ended and I went home! I felt improvements increase for weeks and months afterward. I continued to feel calmer, happier, & more like my real self. I noticed anti-aging benefits too: like improved hormonal levels, & many physical results that looked and felt more youthful. It led to my desired goal, which is: ease and grace within myself and my life. And the rehabilitation and healing of myself & my children. 4. Worldwide~Online~Group OM Meditations for Peace on Earth are broadcast Live each week from here~ I do every one of these. Even my children do these meditations. Please consider joining in-online- with this worldwide group to receive a profound healing for yourself, Earth and all humanity. When we are united~ this is how we can help end all suffering on Earth--end all wars--save the children and uplift poverty. So easy. You can do it from anywhere in the world with an internet connection. I no longer feel powerless to make real change and help uplift all the suffering on Earth. Because that is what this meditation does when we collectively OM for the benefit & healing of all mankind. 5. Meditation & Healing Tools~ The tools & pendants are handcrafted in sacred geometric form. Quantum Physics= Quantum Healing. These hand-held tools, pyramids, pendants, and large forms are so beautiful and feel calming to wear, look at, and hold. Using them puts me into deeply beautiful healing & meditative states... I can feel them vibrating and transmitting light & golden energy into me on the highest vibrational levels. I experience complete DEEP peace~ like I've never known or found anywhere else. Profound 6. Meditation & Healing Retreats/Dharshan Teachings/and more ~ Everything this Center provides is highly effective, peaceful, healing, transformative, cutting edge and relaxing. The meals are highly conscious & delicious. The whole place is enchanting, quiet, private & gated. There you will find a farm/gardens/peaceful fountains & peacocks--where kindness abounds. They milk their lovely cow, have a yak heard, baby animals & so much nature~ all surrounded within a pristine quiet forest full of wildlife on a mountaintop in one of the most ancient locations on Earth....Truly Divine! You won't find anything like this anywhere else in the world. I searched the whole planet... this is what I was looking for.

Not recommended. This center is not what it claims to be, and the teacher is not who he claims to…read morebe. Do not bring your children here, do not come here. I recommend no level of involvement with this organization. The teacher burnishes his reputation with various certificates and enthronements. I have spoken at length with an extremely high, recognized Tulku who explained that he and others of similar standing do not recognize this man as their teacher. The people described as monks and nuns, as far as I know, take no traditional monastic vows. The teacher does not live on the property. He lives in Maui. He follows popular wellness trends (red light therapy, carnivore diet) and presents them as his own teaching. The organization runs some charitable activity which gives a veneer of legitimacy that does not match what I observed from inside. Over more than a decade, in good faith, I gave a significant amount of money to this organization under the impression that I was supporting charitable work. I was only ever contacted for donations, and I gave on a false and misleading premise - believing I was helping those in need, when in fact much was going towards funding this teacher's lifestyle. Not once was I shown empathy or compassion, even to the extent of "how are you doing?" What I did experience repeatedly, from the teacher and from the attendant staff, was coldness, condescension, and open disdain. Sincere questions were met with dismissal. Students going through hard times were ignored or shamed. The relationship from their side was transactional, one-way, and demeaning. Run from this place.

To Dr. Daci - I'm responding here because I don't have your direct email address and messages to…read moreyou aren't going through. First I'm astonished at your repeated edits of your response. First you told a story full of falsehoods that totally negated my experience. Basically proving my points! Then for a moment, you seemed to be respecting my experience, finally saying, "Your concerns about my communication and approach are valuable, and I'm committed to refining how I connect with patients." But you deleted that today and instead put this "It is unfortunate that we were not able to find common ground and connect despite my sincere attempts -- this was a first for me." Ah again you're the hero and my feedback and sincere attempts are invisible. And was common ground the point? Not your skill at what you promise? Or caring about the patient's actual experience, not just your story about who you think you are? And I bet this has happened before. You make it hard to be heard. Which was basically my point. You worked hard to make this something wrong with me. I asked for what I needed at the session and you brushed that aside. You didn't see it. Oh, I'll add another thing that felt uncomfortable for me was you charging my credit card with $585 when I made the appointment, three weeks in advance. I've NEVER had a doctor or healer do that. I got the bill before the appointment. I realize now it put me in a position where I couldn't just end the appointment, and we didn't have a moment at the end to discuss the amount. It felt like you were taking care of yourself, not your patient. As I said in my original post, I tried two ways afterwards to communicate my experience of our session to you. A memo, giving examples. And on the phone, during the followup call. As I shared here, I felt my feedback totally blown off by you. And so I shared my experience with others here. I've sought to be fair and factual. And really - won't this help you avoid having patients that have needs like mine? Meanwhile, I met with another healer today who easily did what you did not. Welcomed me, told me the plan in advance, mirrored what she heard me say, asked what I needed, behaved consistent with her described values. It was a thing of beauty, and reminded me what a healthy dynamic feels like. So I'm good. I hope you do take this as an opportunity to learn. But your response is your choice, and just reflects on you.

I am very grateful to have found Dr. Daciana Iancu when I did -- when I was stalled trying to…read morenavigate complex health issues. Dr. Daci is a steady, compassionate guide with a unique set of skills. She is capable of seeing, understanding and problem-solving on many different levels, all at the same time. I would describe many of our conversations during the course of my treatment as profound. Dr. Daci is intuitive, practical, generous, and brave.

Thank you Dr. Dana Michaels... I feel so much better…read more Words cannot do it justice for feeling good when I have been feeling bad for so many years. I knew something was wrong with my gut, I tried a virtual Natropathic doctor who helped me at the time but not enough and the gut problems just kept persisting. I knew I needed a good doctor who understands holistic health and the gut to understand what was going on with me specificially. Meeting Dr. Dana's was the best experience. Getting her kind-hearted guidance to do the tests and get the protocols, I FEEL BETTER!!! I literally had to hand over my health to someone else I trusted because I had failed. I'm now on day 12 of this transformation so lots more to heal but at least I feel energetic enough to play, work, and spend quality time with family. If you feel bad the rest of the world is not great. My gut biome is on the road to recovery and that means the world to me. Thank you Dr. Dana Michaels. If you are considering working with Dr. Dana do it and your health will improve but first you got to know what is going on inside your body and no ad, internet group or friend will be able to tell you that other than doing the tests and following a protocol specific to YOUR body. Still not sure? Watch "Hack Your Health" on Netflix as they talk all about the gut biome in a very entertaining way. But notice the doctors that work with the people are learning what is going on inside of them and how to fix it. Natropathic doctors are far more capable of helping you with true gut health because they believe in a holistic approach of healthy bodies.

I am a huge dog lover, (I own a rescue tripawd) but just as dog owners wish to be asked before…read morehaving people approach their pets, I didn't really wish to have to gently and continually push away Dana's dog off me. The dog was getting hair and saliva on my clothes and I didn't appreciate it. Perhaps not a big deal to the owner of the dog but not my preferred. Hard sales pitch launch immediately citing specials. I really just wanted a B12 shot. Hillpark Integrative where I usually get my shots for less was closed. Didn't really take time to hear me out on anything, jumped right in and then bounded into her specials. The dog was distracting, odd layout distracting, box of tissues I tripped over was distracting. Its cheaper to get the shots at Hillpark if that's what you are looking for.

The day of my appointment to see Victor and Madison, I had a migraine. I decided to go anyway,…read moregiven that was the reason I was seeing them was to discover the root cause. I'm so glad I did. Madison treated me right away with a combination of essential oils and Marma point massage (sort of like the Ayurvedic version of acupressure)and I experienced nearly instant relief. She provided me a diet which was largely the opposite of what I'd been eating. Victor took my pulses and confirmed a lot of my concerns and quickly assessed stress and trauma were the root causes. It has been about three months now of weekly treatments, the new diet, and taking kundalini yoga classes at their sister business, Yoga and Ayurveda, in Cypress Village. I'm excited to hear I'm at about 50% healed, feeling more energized, less depressed, and physically MUCH stronger. This last push is really to hone in on my emotional health and resilience. Victor teaches classes on recovering from Trauma and the Vagas nerve which are so essential for everyone today. Madison's cooking and skin health workshops were also super informative. PCA is a local gem for people looking for natural, holistic healing. Highly recommend.

I consider myself a spa enthusiast but this place goes above and beyond anything I have ever…read moreexperienced before. In meeting Victor and Madison I quickly came to know that these are two people who have truly devoted there lives to healing others. I have suffered from Psoriatic Arthritis most of my adult life and had become used to the overmedicated conveyor belt system of modern say health care. Meeting Victor and Madison was a breathe of fresh air. My first visit they spent and hour and a half with me. They went over my medical history, checked my pulses and generally cared about healing me holistically, not just suppressing the symptoms. I had always been told arthritis could not be cured but they opened a whole new world to me. I would not be where I am today with my health if it weren't for them!
