Tammy's pricing is extremely fair and has allowed me to be able to do weekly sessions with her for the last 9 years :).

My first experience with Yvonne Czarniak as a certified Energy Medicine practitioner was at the…read moreEnergy Medicine 101 class she taught at Marianjoy in Wheaton in July. She's an incredible instructor! She takes ideas and practices that probably aren't commonplace knowledge for most people, breaks them down into bite-sized pieces and presents them in a very easy to understand format. She's incredibly engaging, approachable, warm, compassionate and caring. She made a reference during class to her practice, and told us that one of the best and the worst things is when clients come to her and tell her their doctors have told them, "...this is as good as it gets." (Worst because she doesn't want anyone to have that sense of hopelessness and despair, best because she knows they're ready to work with the energy -- and not only can she help them feel better, she can teach them to help themselves heal!) Alarm bells went off in my head after she said that, because my dad's pain doctor had just told him the same thing...this was the best he was ever going to get. (He had hip replacement surgery in July 2011 and was starting to recover nicely from that, but the incision became infected and they had to re-open his wound to irrigate and he's never recovered. A full year of various specialists and consultations, MRIs and CAT scans, physical, water and massage therapies, and no one can figure out why he has such limited mobility and such intense pain. He's been on a regimen of super pain meds for the past 6 months, to limited success.) My parents live in Alabama, but they had just decided to come visit Illinois in August, so I asked Yvonne if I could make an appointment for my dad with her -- and if it would even be worthwhile to see him for one or two sessions since he lived so far away. She said, "Absolutely! And it won't matter that I only see him a few times because I'm going to teach him how to work the energy so he can help himself." She said it with such conviction that I knew everything would be OK. So, a month later my parents and I are sitting in Yvonne's office and my dad is trying to not be skeptical and pessimistic. His pain level is around 7 or 7.5. Yvonne does some energy testing on him, and starts unblocking, releasing, etc. It's kind of like getting a massage, but the contact is much lighter -- sometimes she doesn't even touch you -- and in my dad's case, she worked him head to toe. She was really good about explaining what she was doing, why she was doing it, what it might feel like...he was an active participant in his recovery, which is something he hasn't experienced in a very long time. At one point I think he also fell asleep because he was so relaxed. About an hour after she started, Yvonne was done and my dad's pain level was at a 5 or a 5.5. The other thing we noticed was that his speech was no longer affected by his pain meds -- sometimes he slurred his words or it sounded like his tongue was swollen -- and he was much quicker in processing and responding during conversations. This wasn't something I had personally seen since he went on the super pain meds. He continued to feel good -- there were some little hiccups during his stay with me, but he recovered so much quicker from them than he had in the past -- and he was actually practicing the exercises Yvonne had given him! My mom was as well! Three days later he went for his 2nd appointment, and his pain was a 5. Yvonne worked on him for about another hour -- again explaining what she was doing, how his energy was responding, etc. -- and he was so relaxed at the end it was like he was coming out of anesthetic you would get for a surgery. His pain level at the end of that session was about a 2.5. Truly, a miracle. He continues to do his exercises and he's continuing to progress and feel better. I feel like it's a cliche to say Yvonne is a miracle worker, but I don't know how else to describe it. My family and I will always be indebted to her. I can't recommend her highly enough -- she's truly amazing. And just a super nice, bright and funny person to know -- as soon as you meet her you just want to sit down and have lunch with her. If you have the chance to take a class she's teaching (she also teaches Tai Chi) or have her work on you, please don't miss it. You won't regret it.

With my move I was no longer teaching 4 classes a week and loosing my mojo. * Enter Jesse and Kirsten from Prestige-who quickly rose above all the local options I had tried. I had specific concerns related to working with a new Personal Trainer. I have had trainers on and off for the last 4 years and am able to work hard; but I need a work out that accommodates my injuries and pushes me at the same time. Jesse matched me up with Kirsten who listened to my concerns and gave me a tough, efficient work out that had me breathing hard and sweating in no time. I signed up for 12 sessions to get my butt in gear and am going to commit to 12 more. The value for the convenience and quality delivered is beyond measure. I'm getting my groove back, and would recommend Prestige Training to anyone.
