I had a truly life changing experience working with Michele from Essence Nutrition, and I don't use…read morethose words lightly. What's important to note is that I actually had very good nutrition going into my work with Michele. Before I started working with her, I was already maintaining a very healthy diet- cooking all of my own meals, lots of fresh vegetables and fruit, lean proteins, little to no added sugar in my diet, etc... However, Michele took my nutrition from great to exceptional. I sought nutritional advice for two main reasons: weight management and recovery from ulcers in my GI tract that I have been dealing with for about three years now. Due to issues with ulcers, I had previously been instructed by doctors to go on liquid diets for weeks on end, and have had consistent weeks and months where I was barely able to eat anything due to pain. This caused my metabolism to slow a substantial amount, and started causing me a lot of weight gain when I was able to eat normally and healthily again. After just a couple weeks of working with Michele, she had already taught me so many great techniques and information that I started seeing significant positive change in regards to how I was feeling each day. Michele's simple changes to my diet caused something to happen that I never even thought possible- my ulcerative colitis symptoms went from mild to practically non existent. The intense cramping and pain I used to feel at the end of each day disappeared if I followed the diet as instructed. I was never able to reach these kinds of results, even with the strongest of medication over the span of three years. This dramatically positively impacted my quality of living, which has led to better mood, better sleep, better workouts, and better mental health. The Essence Nutrition system is a great example of getting out of something what you put into it. If you take the advice and recommendations seriously and take the time to input the pictures and descriptions into the "Healthie" app, then you will really benefit from some qualified and thoughtful input from your nutrition expert. I could not be happier with my experience of working with Michele and Essence Nutrition and I can't recommend them enough to anyone who is looking to improve their nutrition, health, and overall quality of living! -Tressa

I started seeing…read moreher because I could tell my eating habits were getting out of control and for the past 3 years I was gaining 5-7lbs each year and I knew that if I didn't do something it would get out of control quick. I had tried all the diets and plans out there and nothing worked. I havent been feeling great in general (tired, unmotivated) and felt like I was binge eating often. Dina was great because it became so much more than just having a nutritionist! To me it felt like a therapy session and I mean that in the best way possible! Ive leaned so much about myself. About food. About self talk and mindful eating. It has changed my life. Its changed the way i few foods, the way I think about myself and my relationship with food in general. Its become so much more than just trying to lose weight (which I have lost 5lbs do far!) but more importantly I FEEL amazing. And its all thanks to the help and lessons I've gotten from Dina!

I feel so lucky to have met her. I came across Dr. Levine after a friend of mine recommended me to her. She assured me that Although I hadn't had the best experiences in the past this would be different. I also see Dr Iglacias who is another wonderful doctor at this practice.

Interestingly enough they don't call or text you days before the appointment, so it's a win win for them because they charge $75 for no show and your copayment fot the day as well.

My husband and I have had a wonderful experience with Lotus Counseling Center, specifically…read moreVictoria Raymond. We sought out her assistance/help as roughly six months ago my husband and I hit a breaking point (in full disclosure) with many life changes going on (cross-country move, differences in habits/space, job-related change etc.). To be transparent, I felt (because of the circumstances) we were on our last leg. The only thing I could think of to help was maybe therapy so I looked online and saw Lotus (and Victoria) had good reviews and instantaneously requested to book a session with her. I had been to two other relationship counselors in another city from some time ago that did not help at all, so was not quite confident (even with seeing good reviews about this center) that our situation could be helped. I have to say I was wrong about my doubts. Victoria was very easy to talk to, listened objectively and provided some strategies and exercises that truly caused us to think differently and apply different methods which started to improve our daily interactions. I also like that she is direct and honest. She is not one of those therapists that asks 'how does that makes you feel' while scribbling on a note pad and looking at you robotically like you're a specimen in a lab. Of course she cares about how you feel and does ask, but she also has personality and gives her opinion/thoughts to you straight while showing empathy at the same time. She does not take sides, but if you are acting in a way that's not being constructive to yourself or your partner, she will let you know. I like that direct approach, but it is not in a harsh way.. it is straightforward and meant to help, which in our case, it did! She truly cares about your progress as an individual and a couple and this has been evident in her work with us. My husband and I, after starting on very shaky ground prior to seeing Victoria, are at a much better place in our relationship, have been communicating ten fold better, have gotten the *spark* (romance) back and honestly feel that we are doing better now than when we were in the 'honeymoon' phase of our relationship (we have been together almost 7 years). We were doing therapy once a week and still plan to talk to/see (after Covid 19 situation improves) Victoria for 'tune ups'/check ins as needed (I believe therapy is not a bad thing to partake in, even when things aren't at their worst), but can say that the bulk of our challenge/mission has been complete and my husband has mellowed out significantly (thank the Lord, Amen! lol). In all seriousness, I highly recommend Victoria and Lotus Counseling Center for your counseling needs, especially couples counseling (since this is what I can speak on). We can't thank Victoria enough and the whole staff there is very nice and professional (and handles insurance billing in a competent manner as well). Stay safe out there folks and hope everyone finds themself mentally and emotionally balanced during these Covid times. God bless.
