Now that it's bikini season, i'm so grateful i started training at Backside 8 months ago!!! I've…read moreseen drastic improvements in my physique and my strength training abilities... as well as the added bonus of having zero back pain after lifting heavy. the programs are easy to follow, the space is clean and beautiful, and the entire process is incredibly educational. The training is entirely focused on what you want to achieve as a client, and of the dozens of trainers/gyms i've worked with i'm positive i'll never have to find anywhere else to go.

GO SEE DR. ALEX! 2…read moreyears ago, I found myself just shy of 40, with inexplicable, debilitating back pain that just wouldn't go away. I was facing the possibility of not being able to pick up my kids, or even play with them. Felt old age creeping in before I had even hit the middle. I saw Dr. Alex for some chiropractic work. He was happy to do it (and very skilled), but told me that the solution wasn't to just adjust myself back into place; it was to build up my strength so that it could hold its own. He encouraged me to try out some 1:1 training sessions with him, and see for myself the difference it could make. I've never looked back. Up to this point, I'd never been a disciplined "workout guy"; I never really knew what to do on my own, and didn't have the discipline to actually do it. But Dr. Alex makes training so accessible, effective, and fun that I genuinely look forward to seeing him every week! I FEEL AMAZING. And now, I think of my body as something that enables me, instead of hinders me. It's liberating and inspiring, and I implore you to give yourself a chance to experience the same thing. (I also have a legit booty now)

I've been getting lash extensions for about 8 years now (oh my gosh) and it's the first time I've…read morehad to get them refilled from a different lash expert since I'm visiting Portland. I'm so glad I found Rachel because I was a bit worried that it might be difficult to work with someone else's work and it's probably been a bit longer than what most technicians are use to doing as "refills" since everyone has different policies. She was super easy to work with and she makes you feel comfortable right away! Her personality is sweet and calming, which translates to her lash work because I can feel how meticulous and gentle she is with her work. I'd recommend Rachel to anyone thinking of getting lashes or if you've already had lashes before. If I were to come back to Portland, I know who I'd be going to for my lashes.

I called Rachel to see if she had any availability for a lash extension removal, I had gotten them…read moredone somewhere else and they were a mess. She was very kind and cared about what was going on and wanted to help. She was able to fit me in last minute, got all my extensions off without using any chemicals and didn't lose a single lash. I went from thinking I was going to have no lashes left to having all of them - it was quite a relief to say the least. Thank you again.

Aaron changed my life. He is one of the greatest people I have ever met in my life. Sometimes I…read morefelt like I over-explained myself to him, but he always had a way of calming me down. One thing I really liked is that he had experienced the pain of being with a borderline personality disordered person himself, but really seemed to have healed and was really great at his own self work. He always offered me tea or water when I got there, & gave me tissues when I needed to cry, which was very much needed & appreciated. Sometimes the little things make all the difference in the world. He was able to empathize as well as encourage me to think rationally about so many situations. A master at breaking things down, he is truly the best of the best. Aaron, if you're reading this, I love you brother. Thank you so much for the support through the hardest times in my life. I'm feeling a power & energy like I've never felt. May you be blessed for years to come.

I've been seeing Aaron for over 3 years at this point, and it has been the best thing that I have…read moreever done for myself. I've seen so many therapists and psychiatrists throughout my life, and Aaron has helped me more than the rest of them combined. My quality of life has gotten better than I ever thought it could have ever gotten. COVID was an awful time for almost everyone, but I feel so incredibly lucky that I was able to work with Aaron during the hard times. I've never had a more consistent positive experience during the rough patches of life. Looking back at my life before I started seeing Aaron makes me shudder; I can't stress enough how much better my life has gotten through my work with him. I will continue to recommend him to anyone who is struggling and genuinely wants to get better.

My session with Eliana left me with such a clear-headed, peaceful feeling. I wasn't sure about what…read moreto expect but she put my mind at ease right away. We started with one of the most calming meditations I've ever experienced. Even with some distracting outside noise (on my end), I felt completely immersed in the grounding work Eliana was leading me through. Eliana was able to get right to the heart of my issues--she is incredibly insightful, caring, and knowledgeable. The practices she recommended to me have helped me maintain these feelings long after our session ended. I cannot recommend Wellness Weaver enough. I can't wait for my next session.

I love sessions with Eliana. She has width and depth of knowledge and wisdom in a variety of…read morephilosophies so she can speak the language of just about anyone who wants to commit to making changes in their lives, and probably make anyone believe in magic. She has a holistic positive-orientation to wellness, so by her reflecting to me what is going right in my life, I've been able to attract more amazing things. Her "wellness prescriptions" add a layer of accountability to self-improvement that I really needed. She prescribed me a breathwork session when I told her I was feeling stuck in certain aspects of my life, and she invited me to participate in a breathwork workshop from her favorite facilitator as an extension of our session. This gesture showed me that my wellness was a priority to her and she sees herself as an extension of a holistic wellness community. I really feel taken care of and that I have a partner in my accomplishing my goals.

Jo-e has done more for me than any health professional I've seen, combined…read more She's played the roles of therapist, health counselor and life coach for me all at the same time. I was in one of my cycles of depression when I saw someone recommend her in a facebook group. I've been seeing her for a year since then and my mental state and health have improved immensely. My deep depression has not come back since seeing her and when I feel myself inching back to that place I schedule a session with Jo-e and one hour later I feel like I've gotten a tune-up and more tools to use in my life. We've been working on my generalized anxiety and stress management over time. She's worked with me diligently on my health, which is what she proved was important to work on first. I had been exhausted to the point of tears for about 8-9 years with no answers on how to fix it from any doctors. One doctor told me "most women are tired". Anyway, after adding carefully selected vitamins and supplements to my schedule, changing some habits and new tools for dealing with stress and anxiety, I had relief for the first time and actually had energy. I stopped the vitamins suddenly at one point and the exhaustion came back. We've continued to work on my sinuses and digestion, as well. She knows her stuff. Jo-e also helped me establish a better foundation for my marriage and I think saved us from a lot of turbulence in the future by helping me find stability and a healthier way of expressing myself. My mom told me "I finally got back my daughter from before" and she was referring to my happy and positive self from before I was 13 years old (I'm 29 now, for reference)! Thank you for helping me be more "me", Jo-e.

5 Stars just isn't enough! Jo-e deserves more!…read more Before I met Jo-e, I seen about 3 or 4 therapist about depression, anxiety and family trauma. Those session were ok, but it was nothing like the sessions I had with Jo-e. When it comes to opening up about your personal life, it can be difficult to be vulnerable and trust someone with your life problems. From the first session I knew Jo-e was my go to personal health/life coach! I was finally comfortable opening up and expressing my personal mental health problems to someone. When it came to sessions, Jo-e always dug deep into my roots to see where exactly my problems sprouted from. Me, being a direct person, she always made sure to tell me what I NEEDED to hear not what I WANTED to hear. We started working on the food I ate and what I put into my body to fuel my soul. You wouldn't want to put cheap gas into a Ferrari would you? Exactly. I focused on eating cleaner which gave me the energy the get through my daily activities and not be so drained at the end of my day. The type of ENERGY I'm talking about it MENTAL ENERGY. I literally felt better MENTALLY, just by eating cleaner food. Food is one thing, but we also focused on being in the present. Jo-e guided me in practicing mediating, gratitude, and living my life at this very second. Not living in the past nor living in the future. She gave me the tools and exercises to work with that I would have never even thought about on my own. I started from having it all, but being miserable at the same time. I had an amazing career in the aerospace industry, but hated life. Great Job, benefits, medical insurance, stocks, everything you name it. My personal time was very limited and depression came along, so I reached out to Jo-e. I was single for the longest time, thinking love wasn't meant for me. I had a passion in Film/Photography, but was too scared to make the life changing risk. Jo-e was my quarterback to get through this depression. I practiced everything she taught me, ate most of what she recommended to me, and most of all practiced and accepted that I am enough. I'm enough for myself, others and the world. Today, I'm a freelance videographer, I live life on my own time, I having a beautiful girlfriend that I love, I eat cleaner, and my mental health is better than it has EVER, ever been before. Do I need to say more? Mic Drop....
