My neurologist was at the point of recommending a nerve block. Before seeing Elizabeth, I could barely move without sharp pain, and I was having several debilitating migraines a week. Now, I can move freely and migraines are infrequent. I also had a stubborn long term tailbone misalignment. Elizabeth pursued continuing classes to find out how to treat it. Which is really indicative of my experiences with her - she has a lot of integrity and a deep curiosity that means she goes above and beyond to solve problems. Additionally, her scar work is effective at RESOLVING STRETCH MARKS. I have had 5 kids and within a visit or two stretch marks that we're so deep that you could stick a finger in them are as firm as the rest of my skin. There are places that have returned to the look and texture of regular skin. She also returned feeling to an area that had been numb after a c-section. I walk differently after her post-partum abdominal work, and my abdominal wall is able to engage now after diastasis recti.

On the day of my appointment, my mom had a sudden medical emergency and had to be rushed to the hospital by paramedics. It was one of the scariest, most stressful moments of my life. Despite everything, I still made the effort to call at least two hours ahead to explain what was happening and ask if I could please reschedule due to the medical emergency. Instead of any understanding or support, I received a cold email from their assistant, Susie, saying they have a strict 24-hour cancellation policy and that their system doesn't allow for any exceptions--even for a medical emergency. I was charged the full amount, no questions asked. Even asked the assistant to have the owner Laura call me back, but she said it did not matter if I spoke with the owner, their policy is still the same, NO REFUND, NO REBOOKING! I wasn't trying to skip out or cancel lightly. This was a real crisis, and I reached out in good faith hoping for some compassion. What I got instead was a company that hid behind policy and showed no empathy at all. It felt like I was just another number to them--my situation didn't matter. I will never forget how this made me feel in such a vulnerable moment. Laura was a great massage therapist, but her cancelation policies are so rigid. I won't be coming back! I hope no one else has to experience being treated this way when life throws something truly unexpected at them.

I have chronic pain and have tried many different treatments over the years. Before seeing Audrey,…read moreI hadn't tried Craniosacral Therapy, but it had been recommended to me by several practitioners. I've done acupuncture, osteopathy, and neuromuscular therapy, all of which have been helpful in their own ways, but Craniosacral Therapy has been able to move the needle in areas that had remained stubborn. The work is gentle, but very effective. Audrey is incredibly attentive, caring, and thoughtful. She takes the time to carefully understand your history, listen to your concerns, and tailor each session to your specific needs. I always feel like I'm in good hands. I had chronic pain and cramping in my ribs, shoulder, and neck that completely disappeared after only a few visits. I still have a long way to go with the rest of my body, but I plan to continue treatment with Audrey for the foreseeable future. I'm very grateful to have found her and would highly recommend her to anyone curious about Craniosacral Therapy or looking for a gentle, thoughtful approach to chronic pain.

I visited Audrey for Craniosacral therapy after struggling with recurring pain from trigeminal…read moreneuralgia. Although the discomfort often appeared near my lower jaw, Audrey quickly identified that its source was actually in my ear. Through her gentle work, she released much of the pain, and I even drifted into sleep during the session. When I woke, I felt lighter, happier, and relieved--the pain had significantly subsided. Audrey's valuable guidance helped me make small changes to reduce strain on my ears, such as avoiding Bluetooth headphones. The entire experience was deeply healing. Audrey's energy is positive, safe, and filled with genuine care. I truly felt she had only my best interests at heart. She is a true healer.

Every time I had massage or PT with the top practitioners for athletes (I'd been a runner and competitive athlete my whole life), I'd have a flare in nerve symptoms for days; pain, inability to sleep, increased muscle spasms, etc. Not with Michelle.

She has a special gift of not aggravating my nerve symptoms during and after the massage. I always feel so much better after seeing her and highly recommend her for anyone looking to have a great massage.

I have the typical knowledge worker…read moreback/neck/shoulder aches and pains over the years due to being hunched over a computer screen and keyboard/mouse all hours of the day (and night!) and dealing with the stresses of Silicon Valley. I've wanted to address my various aches and pains and I've heard that seeing a chiropractor could help, but I was wary of seeing a chiropractor; getting "adjusted" sounded kind of scary and intimidating. From my first appointment, Dr. Lerma set my mind at ease. She patiently and thoroughly explained what chiropractic treatment is and how it could help my various aches and pains, and she eased me into the chiropractic adjustment process, all the while constantly gauging my comfort level with receiving a chiropractic adjustment. One year into getting treated by Dr. Lerma, I don't know what I'd do without chiropractic treatments. There is no instant or quick fix; it requires ongoing, periodic treatments to work through the aches and pains and keep them at bay, in addition to doing various stretching and muscle-building exercises at home or the office. Dr. Lerma has an uncanny ability to locate and address the specific areas of pain or soreness that I'm feeling and that need adjusting. After an adjustment, I stand taller, sit straighter, and, most importantly, feel great. It's amazing how much relief I feel from my back/neck/shoulder aches and pains after a chiropractic adjustment by Dr. Lerma. Thank you, Dr. Lerma!
