I have been gratefully receiving care and guidance from Heather for about a year now. Wellness has…read morebeen important to me for a long time and after having the same experiences with Kaiser doctors over and over, finding the only solution for my adult acne to be drugs (Accutane, birth control, and antibiotics) I walked away with worse side effects and skin conditions than I had to begin with. It was so refreshing to walk into Heather's office for our 2.5 hour consultation and have her ask about everything under the sun pertaining to my personal health history and lifestyle. Far from the experience of walking into my doctor's office for 5 minutes and feeling like I wasn't being listened to. I've come such a long way in my health journey with Heather and can truly see the results. I trust Heather's advice so thoroughly that I recommended her to my mom, who had been recovering from a surgery for years and was affected in every aspect of her daily life. I have never seen her have a more positive outlook and sense of hope than after she comes back from meeting with Heather. It seems as though she is already feeling significantly better. It means the world that Heather has been able to help my mom because she's been feeling at a loss and I couldn't figure out how to help her myself. It took time to convince her it's worth exploring alternative options and I'm so glad she got to the point of feeling comfortable trying. She's very happy to be working with Heather and I am too.

As a therapist, I recommend Heather to my clients for body work and nutritional balancing. I have had nothing but positive feedback about Heather and she takes the work that my clients are doing to the next level of healing. I highly recommend Heather if you want to make significant changes in the way you feed and take care of your body. Her body therapies are amazing and all women can benefit from her work.

Staying at this treehouse is a beautiful reminder, of the importance, of seeking out the chance, to…read morefeel rooted and connected to Earth. You will be able to time travel, back into a section of old growth forest, and breath, walk and live among unique old giants. The beautiful and vibrant ecosystem,that surrounds the treehouse, includes birds, rabbits, deer, lush ferns, and soft dirt and vegetation. Take the time to walk around barefoot and let nature heal you. I would recommend experiencing this treehouse soon because the entire island seems to be hellbent on chainsawing and bulldozing itself, and its' history, into a "paved parking lot," so they can all "view" the ocean without tree obstruction (or make a quick buck selling wood boards). The accommodations Ken provides include kindness, a beautiful deck, comfortable bed, rope swing, cozy living area, yummy healthy breakfasts, and a clean and accessible bathroom with shower. This quote seems appropriate for this review-"Those who dwell among the beauties and mysteries of the Earth are never alone or weary of life."

A much-needed birthday gift to myself, I booked a two night stay at this peaceful retreat in the…read morewoods. Easy to find from the Clinton ferry, Ken and Lynn Berry greeted me when I arrived and made me feel right at home. Located 14 feet off the ground, the treehouse is tucked enough away to feel secluded while the rest of the property is close enough to keep you on the grid. The room itself came with modern conveniences (electricity, heaters, a microwave, DVD player, WiFi) and plenty of lounging space, with a converted shed for bathroom business located outside a few paces away. I liked looking at the skylight above my bed at night, listening to the rain beat against the corrugated plastic and feeling the wind against the walls. The wooded surroundings made for a pitch black sleep and refreshing wake-ups. I would've utilized the deck with my morning pot of coffee, but it was too soggy and cold all weekend to really enjoy it. I could see how it would be a lovely place to sit and enjoy the nature scene, though, and I appreciated the colorful LED lights Ken had attached to the trees making it feel like a thousand fireflies were escorting me home at day's end. I even saw two deer while I was there! Billed as a bed and breakfast, I was hoping for something hot and substantial to eat when I woke up. Instead I was given cold breakfast items both nights for the following mornings. I was living my hippie dream, so the granola and fruit were fitting, I suppose. Lynn also baked me GF scones on the second day and gave me a relaxing massage (she's a licensed massage therapist and provides this service for an additional fee), so my complaints are minimal. The island itself is fun to explore and the view at Double Bluff Beach is worth a stop on your way back to Mukilteo.

Opening up their warm and gorgeous castle to you, Kat and Donn make great hosts that have that unique balance of being friendly and leaving you to discover on your own. The rooms are beautiful, the First Light room, even at the smallest room, was still well appointed with a walk in closet modified into a treasure chest of books, movies, games, a mini fridge and food area (both stocked with snacks even!) water container, extra towels, blankets, serious, it's like a huge cupboard of goodness. Breakfast was divine, seriously, that woman should open up a restaurant closer to me so I can eat there all the time! We stayed two days and were sad to go, I could have been happy there for a week. They have a myraid of animals that roam about and we made fast friends with the cat and pups, having those as tourguides around the grounds was a nice welcome. But let me tell you, that Turkish steam shower? Wow. WOOOOOOWWWWW! As relaxing as it sounds. Maybe more so. Overall, I can't wait to return and with the great prices and fantastic food that comes along with it, it's a sure thing we'll be back again and again. Thanks to both Kat and Donn for creating such a lovely space within just a few hours drive of busy Seattle.

Since meeting Sarah Kruse over 10 years ago, I have experienced various facets of her work. When I…read morewas needing support with optimizing my health, I met with Sarah for an Ayurvedic Consultation and learned a lot of valuable skills and tools for how to take the best care of my health. I have also seen Sarah for rejuvenating therapies, including Ayurvedic Massage, Shirodhara and more recently Panchakarma. I had opportunity to join Sarah in India for a 15-day detox and rejuvenation Panchakarma retreat. That experience was life changing in more ways than I can express here. Ayurveda has become the foundation for how I care for myself daily and Sarah has been an instrumental guide in this. Her presence, compassionate nature and many years of professional experience truly set her apart.

As a mom of 2 toddlers, my biggest concern was not developing the bond with my newborn that I had…read morewith my first two kids. The certified and experienced care team at Yuzi ensured I could maximize one on one time with my son and achieve optimal rest and relaxation. Delicious, gourmet meals designed by a nutritionist, were delivered to my room 3 times a day. These meals improved my milk supply and the quality of my milk; my son gained a full pound during our five night stay. The meals were based on my dietary preferences and cravings. Just having meals brought to me provided me with time to get to know my newborn and also nap with him; this was invaluable and exactly what I was looking for! Yuzi is located in the historical Lodge at St. Edward's Park. I loved being able to stroll the trails with my baby. On rainy days, I toured the art galleries or relaxed in the library. The park also has an amazing play area that my toddlers loved playing at when my husband and toddlers visited. Room service was also provided for my husband and children upon request. I was able to experience a facial and a massage at the Vita Nova Spa located within the lodge. The care team took my son to the nursery and bottle fed, cuddled, and even sang lullabies to him while I took time for self care. At any point, I was able to view my son on the Nanit Cameras the nursery is equipped with. It was also a nice option to leave him with the care team when I needed "me time" to bathe, sleep alone and uninterrupted, or have an uninterrupted meal. Every night, I also indulged in a foot soak and eye or face mask provided by the staff. The entire team was kind, accommodating, and knowledgeable. They were reachable via text and would check in with me regularly. Not only were they able to provide support in caring for my newborn, but also ensured I had everything I needed: from sanitary pads to peri ice packs to lactation teas and a variety of lactation support snacks and hydration products. It was nice to be able to try various snacks I've seen advertised on social media before buying any of them online. Although I regularly see a postpartum therapist, a 30 minute wellness check was also provided with my stay. It is very comforting to know how Yuzi understands the challenges which affect our mental health as we adjust to welcoming a newborn in our lives. Finally, along with just being surrounded by a knowledgeable care team, it was comforting to know Yuzi has safety protocols designed by OB and Labor and Delivery teams from one of our top rated hospitals in the Seattle Area. I can't thank my family and the staff at Yuzi enough for this invaluable experience.

Would highly recommend to all postpartum families in the Seattle area.
