I came to see Stephanie after I had met my wit's end. A year and a half earlier, I had fainted off…read morea stationary bike at the gym from abdominal pain. After several ER visits, multiple followups with my OBGYN, and even ovarian cyst surgery, I found out I had very bad endometriosis. I was suddenly faced with having a hysterectomy at age 32. I knew there must be another solution to organ removal, so I did some research and found that some women have had success reducing or reversing their symptoms with a change of diet. I wasn't about to leave any stone unturned, so I reached out to Stephanie for some help. I've had many "aha" moments with Stephanie, but the most important was a new lens through which to look at my diagnosis: she presented the idea that endometriosis is more closely related to an autoimmune disorder because of how the body reacts to the displaced endometrial cells, so if we treat it as such we can get somewhere. With that direction, we holistically looked at the other issues plaguing me and drew parallels that my body has an issue with its inflammatory response. So, Stephanie set forth a plan for an anti-inflammatory diet, healing my gut and detoxing my liver to help my body heal itself--all through nutrition. Along the way I learned how to build balanced meals, how to choose foods that will support my immune system, and how to structure my day so that I get the maximum amount of nutrition and energy. When I first came to Stephanie, I had been bleeding for over 120 days straight. Only one month into finding the right medication, committing to Stephane's guidance, and sticking to an exercise regimen, I stopped bleeding. By the end of my three months of sessions with her, not only were my endometriosis symptoms reduced to the point where they were almost unrecognizable, but I had lost weight, slept better, had more energy and stamina, and my other medical issues had subsided. It might sound hyperbolic but please know this isn't an understatement: Stephanie saved my life. Not only did she save me from unnecessary surgery and pain, but she helped teach me how to live and thrive through nutrition. Thank you, Stephanie!

I've been in the thoughtful care of Dr. Leah Hahn for over 4 years…read more She's a remarkable and caring individual who early on (through the 8 Week Wellness program I heard daily on the radio) aided me to heal, regain strength and focus on my nutritional wellness after a stress related heart attack in my late 50's. That program alone allowed me to lower my A1C, blood pressure and through a BIB nutritional program + personal trainer gain muscle, flexibility and lock in a healthy weight of 180 pounds. Now well into my 60's, my chiropractic care continued through the pandemic and in the last year has come to my aid again recovering from a severe concussion and both neurological + internal injuries from a fall and blow to the head while hiking atop Look Out Mountain. To put it bluntly? The medical care at Body In Balance has saved my life.

A friend recommended this place and since I had fallen recently, I decided to make an appointment…read more I was surprised to learn that they were offering a free evaluation and one adjustment session to new patients during April. The initial evaluation is comprehensive and uses both cardio measures and X-rays. Then I met with an owner who spent quite a bit of time reviewing the results and the recommended course of treatment. This is not the typical chiropractor or physical therapy practice. I would describe their approach as holistic pressure point treatment. The only drawback for me is that they do not participate with Medicare and the cost for my treatment plan is not affordable. Otherwise, I believe that I could benefit from their treatment.

About a year and a half ago, after having three children followed by nearly two years of pandemic…read moreliving, I knew that I needed to change up my fitness and nutrition habits. After many, many search sessions, I kept coming back to Body by Emilee and finally took the plunge to set up my initial consultation. And now, I'd probably describe myself as a superfan of Emilee's. From the get-go, Emilee was really approachable, kind, and very easy to work with. We started with nutrition sessions, and while I was definitely not eating the most healthy diet, I never felt bad talking about my habits. Emilee's approach is a "sure and steady" way of looking at things. Instead of something drastic we were able to look at my habits and make small, consistent changes over the course of the past year that has served me really well. Plus, nothing is off-limits. Emilee believes in creating a sustainable lifestyle of nutrition and exercise. And I'm more of a "moderation in everything" kinda gal, so I couldn't handle someone telling me there'd be no more, oh, I don't know, fried chicken or champagne or cake. From there, I was also able to add personal strength training with Emilee two days a week. While the sessions are never easy, Emilee is always very mindful about how hard we are working and adjusting my weights or my exercises to have maximum impact on my goals. And working out with her is honestly just a ton of fun. Beyond the excellent coaching aspect, Emilee has built a solid community of women around her, both the folks she coaches as well as just the people she knows in the world. She hosts regular events for everyone who trains with her that span a wide variety of topics, everything from a session on learning to add meditation into your routine to a spin class. Every time I attend one of the events, I marvel at how much I genuinely like everyone that is there. For me, a number on the scale wasn't (and isn't) my ultimate goal, but I have lost nearly 30 pounds over the past year, and a half (all the Covid weight and most of the baby weight), but best of all is how strong and healthy I feel. My body feels really good, and I feel really good about my habits these days. Finding Body by Emilee was like finding a light at the end of the tunnel, and my sessions with her have been such a bright light in each of my weeks.

Emilee is a great partner and coach. She was an incredible addition to my health and wellness…read morejourney!  While I sought her out for some specific concerns (postpartum, overall health and wellness, etc.), she not only excelled in all of those areas, but I also consider her a key to my nutritional success. Spending time to talk about tailwinds and how to make small changes created a lot of change quickly for me. She checks in with you and creates a holistic plan catered to your needs. I can't recommend her enough!  I will continue to leverage her further as coach in the future, as her method is aligned to what works for me!

I've trained in the US and in Canada, and Robyn has them all beat. To start, she sat and talked with me about my goals and my injuries, and I could tell from the beginning that she had a deep understanding of what I wanted to get out of our sessions. After an initial assessment, the training began, and she consistently pushed me outside my comfort zone but within my ability range. Anyone who deals with injuries knows that pushing too far too fast only results in damage and more time recuperating, and Robyn helped me find that perfect balance. Not once during our sessions did I find myself regretting pushing so hard, and I knew that she had her eye on my form, making sure that I did everything perfectly. She is a professional and takes her work seriously, and it shows. Not only did she work with me on a weekly basis, but she provided a written description of the exercises we had completed and how I should continue with them in our "off" time. If you've ever worked with another trainer, you'll know that is not standard! Long story short, I began struggling on V1s and finished, 8 sessions later, projecting on V6s with no sign of injury. Every time I am back in Golden, I make a point of coming back to the gym just to see Robyn. A great trainer, a great athlete, and a new friend.

Robyn is an excellent trainer who delivers results. Highly recommended.read more

My personal wellness blueprint was packed full of amazing information and was truly a 101 educational class in getting a baseline understanding of prebiotics, probiotics, gut health and a personalized 5 day meal plan that was simple and straightforward (in other words actually doable!!). This was just my first step in working with her and I love that she lays out what might be helpful as next steps, but is never pushy or aggressive. I truly felt everything came from a place of caring and wanting to help me in any way possible. In our world of "click here" it was so refreshing to engage with a real person who takes the time to get to know you before she shares her suggestions. Can't recommend highly enough!

We are consuming not just how the animal's body was treated, but also how it's Spirit was treated while on the earth plane. Thank you Nikki!
