The space is calming, the treatments are thoughtful and precise, and the results have been positive, but most importantly leave me feeling better than when I walked in. Alexa takes the time to listen, asks me what do I want worked on, and truly tailors each session to what I need. I also really appreciate her holistic approach--there's a genuine sense of support around energy healing and overall well-being that makes each visit feel deeply restorative.

After seeing many practitioners and struggling with traditional dermatology, Alexa got me on an herbal and acupuncture regimen and gave targeted diet changes that help calm my body down so it could begin to recover. I continue to receive monthly acupuncture because I can see that it keeps my body regulated. She always knows where to target on any given day. Alexa is a perfect blend of ancient knowledge, modern practicality, and mysticism.

I rarely post online reviews because I prefer not to speak negatively about any business, but I…read morefeel an urgent obligation to warn prospective patients about this facility and its staff. The front desk reception is exceptionally rude. If you carry any outstanding balance, patient care and mental health immediately cease to be a priority--the sole focus becomes collecting payment. Furthermore, descriptions claiming the facility is "clean" are inaccurate; located inside a mini-mall, the office gives the impression of a temporary pop-up operation rather than an established medical clinic. I received treatment from Micah Malenfant for years. He eventually expressed dissatisfaction with Seaside and departed to launch a private practice, suggesting I transition with him to ensure continuity of care. It was only after I moved to his private practice that Seaside suddenly claimed my final appointment was not covered by insurance, leaving me with a substantial balance. Ever since I prioritized continuing care with my long-term provider, they have treated me poorly regarding this balance. Years later, Mr. Malenfant began abruptly ignoring my communications right when my long-standing prescription renewals were due. After failing to submit my refills or respond to me for over a week, his eventual reply was vague and failed to disclose that his private practice had closed and he was forced to return to Seaside. He subsequently emailed asking if I was available on a specific date to figure out my treatment; I confirmed my availability immediately, but heard nothing back. Rather than professionally addressing the disruption to my care or providing a clear explanation, he sent extensive, highly unprofessional emails detailing his own personal issues and life crises. While I wish hardship on no one and hope he receives any care he may need, a provider cannot operate this way while managing patients. Shortly after apologizing and promising to work things out, his final message stated he would simply no longer respond to me. Both the facility and Micah Malenfant demonstrate severe unprofessionalism, prioritizing balance collection over patient safety and mental health. Navigating healthcare is difficult enough, and no one deserves to experience this level of neglect. If management takes accountability and resolves these issues appropriately, I will gladly remove this post, as I have no desire to criticize anyone unfairly. Until then, please stay away for your own mental health and safety.

I had voice loss, hair loss, extreme heart, chest and bodily pain, air hunger, snapping/cracking joints, stabbing breast pain with swelling, wrist pain, shoulder pain, weight loss, heavy cycles, bruising, pigment loss and this goes on and on. He spoke to me like a child saying no anxiety meds for 30 days, no appointment. I searched high and low for an MD as I have children to raise. By the time I got help it was arthritic pain levels, swollen knees, ankles and leg, I was falling down, had sever GI issues from Bartonella invading my GI tract. I hope no one is ever treated this way again as it was inhumane.

Emily's energy put me at ease right away, and this feeling only deepened during the session. She listened carefully to what I was hoping to uncover, and created a very safe container through meditation and visualization. I was blown away by the gentle process and what we were able to uncover in just one session together. The connections I was able to make between present day problems and my childhood experience were incredibly powerful. I felt buoyant and liberated after our session, and I'm still experiencing the lasting effects of the exploration we did together. Highly recommend working with Emily if you are looking for a gentle guide to support your journey into yourself and emerge with a greater understanding of your inner landscape.

They told me it would be a $40 copay each session which felt steep, but they said it was the "most effective dosing" and referred me to a graph on a poster. After my first session, I told them that I didn't think my insurance would cover parts of treatment and that I was concerned with getting billed. I asked Dr Zagwyn to confirm with billing that it would only be a $40 copay and she did. Then I get a bill for $300 followed by an email that they had made an error but I was still responsible for the bill. I should also mention that while going through their many stations there is a lot of inappropriate conversation between staff as they "work" on you. There are many other honest chiropractors in town.
