I really can't say enough good things about Michelle. Amazingly skilled therapy via massage…read more Emphasis on the therapy piece. She brings a very well rounded approach to her practice. She is able to get to the root cause of a muscular issue. For example, my leg has been through it, everything from a major break requiring hardware to extensive overtraining with a well meaning Personal Trainer which led to the overdevelopment of some muscles and the under development of others. The combined imbalance in the muscle development causes significant cramping upon any exertion. It takes time, but Michelle is able to get the muscles into a cooperative and functional state. I always sleep really well the night after an appointment, because I don't have to deal with the continuous nocturnal cramping. I actually can sleep without fear of being painfully catapulted from my sleep while my leg muscle balls to the point where my tendons feel like they're going to rip right off my bones. Imagine if she is capable of that what you will experience with a relatively normal need to just relax or de-stress. Both my husband and I absolutely love her!!!

I went to Jacqueline Hyde for help in beginner meditation techniques, and after one class I am…read morealready SO much more comfortable with the practice and look forward to my new meditation schedule. Her advice within the one hour has helped me shape my day to become more efficient with my time (a MAJOR plus, since I run a home-based business), helped me realize one of the big things holding me back in said business, and I'm already seeing success at steadying my sleep schedule. Jacqueline's shop is super cute (I can't wait to stock up on more of her teas!!), and she creates a wonderfully warm and welcome atmosphere. I have worked with her before, and her professionalism and the care she puts in her work is incredible. ^.^ I look forward to studying Ayurveda with her in the future!

Really negative experience with irrational and rude front desk clerk today at 3:30pm…read more I will no longer go here. Upon checking in, I was told by a viscerally nasty older woman (severe gray haircut) that my membership expired Dec 31st. It's February 9th. Ok, I'll make a call and handle this. But then this vicious entity refuses to give me my Silver & Fit ID Number because it was no longer valid. She berated me for having picked up a slip of paper off the counter to jot the number down. The number she refused to give me " If you had wanted a piece of scratch paper, I would have given you one. If you had asked! That's an enrollment card'!!" I left a message for a membership director to give me a call. This evening at 8:30, Tanya calls, and attempts to apologize for the front desk clerk. Tanya 'doesn't know' who was working the front desk today. Tanya does provide the expired ID number, which I can use as reference with my health insurance. Puhleeze! No. No thanks. I never will step foot in that legitimately hostile environment again. BTW, I am a person of color.

Carly is an amazing teacher and has sparked my newfound love for yoga! I came to her completely…read moreunfit and not flexible at all after having two kids and not doing any consistent work out in years. I had several injuries that she said were no problem to work around. I was very scared for our first class, especially since it was in public at a park! But Carly has such a calm demeanor she put me at ease. She is one of those rare teachers that meets you where you are; she knows when to give pointers and when to just let you do your best at attempting new poses. She is always very responsive with any questions or concerns. Even though she is SO knowledgeable about the body and yoga she finds a way to explain things in a way that makes sense. She also gives you explanations that put into context what you are doing and why. She challenges me every time, but is understanding and flexible with my limitations. I cannot recommend Carly and Catalyst Yoga enough! If you are interested in trying yoga, no matter your past experience, Carly has a ton to offer as a teacher and role model.

When I heard about standup paddle board yoga class in Lake Stevens, I had to check it out. Yoga on land is fine. But standing up, on a paddle board, in Lake Stevens, doing yoga stretches, is a lot harder but well worth it! I fell in the lake but Carla was very patient with helping me get back on the board. I'm glad I did! It was awesome! It was a perfect summer day for this class and very relaxing on the lake. If you want to challenge your yoga practice, this class will provide that. But even if you don't practice yoga, maybe you just enjoy standup paddle board or kayak, this class will add an fun and interesting layer to your aquatic adventures.

It is different than other techniques I have had done to me but I think it will be very beneficial after a followup treatment. She has great hands and an intuitive touch which, unfortunately, is not always found in many "clinical" massages I have had. Her place is meticulously clean and welcoming. She really cares about what you need and want from your session, whether it is Swedish, effleurage, or other types. I had the two hour "Royal" treatment and it was one of the best massages I have had in a very long time. She is professional and thorough. I recommend her highly.

*** Review for 3-day beginner motorcycle permit course ***…read more Let me begin by saying that Sherry Jennings and Sean Grimm are absolutely excellent instructors; you can really tell they care about keeping you safe. Sherry's enthusiasm and passion for motorcycling and teaching were amazing. She has a very vibrant way of teaching that easily holds your attention. Both Sherry and Sean were super helpful, knowledgeable, and kind. They WANT you to succeed and they're beyond great at what they do. That being said, it would be nice if the class sizes could be smaller. Our class was 16 riders. On the range, we had both instructors present, but I felt like if there had been fewer riders, there would have been more room for individualized help and feedback. I want to be very clear that this is a critique of the WMST class itself and NOT a fault of the instructors in any way--the instructors truly did their absolute best to help everyone and spent extra time with the people who needed it most while still being attentive to everyone. Having more time on the range would also be helpful for nailing skills down. The bikes seemed to be well-maintained (take with a grain of salt since I only rode two). I liked that we got to pick what style of bike we wanted to ride. I felt extremely lucky with my classmates; everyone was super kind and supportive of each other, which was awesome! Honestly, a big highlight of this experience for me was the other wonderful people taking the course alongside me--to say they were great would be an understatement. *** End of review, advice below *** I have literally zero experience with motorcycles and was lucky enough to pass my permit exams first try. FOR ALL MY FELLOW COMPLETE BEGINNERS, PLEASE TAKE MY ADVICE!! This is a whole new skill you're learning and you absolutely need to set yourself up for success! *Your course includes the Champ U NEW RIDER online course, at the BARE MINIMUM you need to complete the portions outlined in the email. But don't stop there. COMPLETE THE WHOLE ENTIRE ONLINE COURSE **BEFORE** YOUR IN-PERSON COURSE! You really need to set yourself up for success with the book learning, especially if you don't have access to practice with a motorcycle. Even if you have previous experience, I would still recommend completing the entire online course because you want any misconceptions corrected before they possibly hurt you. The online course covers a lot of great stuff, there's really no reason not to do it (it's free!). Plan ahead and start it early because it takes a while to get through everything, but this is a lifelong skill and I promise you it's totally worth it! *ENGAGE IN CLASSROOM DISCUSSIONS!!! PAY ATTENTION DURING CLASSROOM PORTIONS! Show the instructors that you are listening by engaging with the discussions! IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS, ASK! The instructors are super friendly and are more than happy to explain anything you're wondering about. *Watch videos of the permit test on YouTube so you know what to expect *Take deep breaths and try to relax! Watch what everyone else is doing and see how everybody is making mistakes. IT'S OK! That's part of learning! It helps your confidence when you realize that pretty much everyone else is struggling and learning too! If you don't pass the first time, don't beat yourself up. This is difficult and there's a LOT to process. You can know what you need to do and still panic under the pressure of a test. Just do your best and don't give up. Stay safe!
