Now, 3 months of private sessions with my great instructor,Sean,(shout out to Fleur also) my aches,pain and stiffness has dissipated! I'm stronger, walking faster (without cane) and much more flexible. It has also boosted my confidence and helps me focus on mindful/conscious breathing. I can't live without it now - I love it!

At…read morefirst I was hesitant after having experienced injuries, muscle tightness, and having low flexibility, but I am seeing a feeling a drastic improvement. When I met Vicki at my first session, she said to me, "just give me a month and you'll be shocked at the difference." Wow was she right! My posture is improved, my flexibility has increased, and I just feel better overall. Vicki prides herself on proper form and safety, which helps keep her clients in great health. She has worked in the Pilates industry for a longtime, thus making her a mountain of knowledge regarding exercise. She can modify any exercise to fit all skill levels from beginner to very advanced. As with any exercise plan, one must incorporate a well-balanced and healthy diet. Exercise cannot be relied on alone to achieve weight loss results. The only down side is that she does not teach group Pilates at this studio. All sessions are private, personal training sessions, which gives her the opportunity to truly focus on her clients needs and hone the workouts to achieve desired goals.

Among the many wonderful offerings Gigi has (mommy + me yoga classes, prenatal yoga groups, women's…read morecircles, music my whole family loves, soon-to-be doula), she recently lead me and a group of friends through a Mother's Blessing to welcome the birth of my baby, due in October. We chanted, shared, tied blessing bracelets on each other's wrists and created a necklace (each woman placing a bead on it as they said a prayer or blessing for me and my baby). It was truly magical and I'll never forget that day! Gigi has a lovely, disarming way about her and she leaves hearts full everywhere she goes. I'm so fortunate to know her and would highly recommend her for ANY and ALL of her offerings.

GIGI IS THE BEST! The absolute best. I am so glad to have discovered her when my first son was…read morethree months old and we started going to Mommy & Me yoga classes with her. Then, during Covid, she offered classes via Zoom and I was able to attend again with my younger son. Gigi clearly puts her mamas' (and babies') needs first and makes sure you have a quality, worthwhile yoga experience, both physically and mentally. She listens attentively during "share time," prompting thoughtful shares that promote the community aspect of the group, and also makes sure to ask about any injuries or concerns before starting the physical practice. She also switches up the format week to week to focus on different body parts. Her smaller group classes are especially fantastic because she includes weekly emails of encouragement with journal prompts, and also you get invited to a special chat that's a safe, sacred space for moms to open up and share as much or as little as they want in between classes. She really focuses on building a community, and as a new mother, her groups have done wonders for my mental health during the tough transition to motherhood (and the also-tough transition from one to two kids). There's just an aura around Gigi that is compassionate, strong, inviting, and QUEENLY :) She makes you feel supported and loved and like you can talk to her about anything. She holds space for everyone and is incredibly gifted at leading groups with different levels of needs. To say she's "good people" is a wild understatement, but she is! I love Gigi and would recommend her yoga classes to anyone in a heartbeat :) :) :)

I'd previously gone to a more popular, chain-like therapy location in Los Angeles for postpartum therapy and found it to be quite disappointing. It wasn't until my appointment with Casie that it became clear why I had a feeling the other location wasn't doing much for me -- the differences between the two were night and day! If you have given birth and are feeling like you need someone to confirm if you have diastasis recti or if your core recovery is going well or to even check on your scar tissue, book book book your appointment.

But I am finally here to tell you all about my experience with the godsend of a woman, Laura Erlich!!!! I met Laura in 2019 after my first appointment with Dr. Baek at California Fertility Partners, when I was exploring egg freezing. The first three things that Dr. Baek had me do was - stop smoking pot, stop drinking coffee and go see Laura for acupuncture. A few months later I ended up deciding to wait on that plan just a bit before Covid hit (when I met my amazing husband:) Jump to 2022, where we decided to freeze embryos prior to getting married (we are old - I was 39 and my soon to be husband was 48). We figured, let's get the best eggies out now, just in case trying to conceive on our own the following year didn't pan out. So naturally, I went straight back to see Laura. And this is when the real love affair began! After 6 months of prep and a successful cycle, we ended up freezing two embryos. Then took a break from all things fertility to get married and live that newlywed life for the rest of the year! Once 2023 rolled around we knew we wanted to start trying naturally, so right back to Laura I went. And over the next 6 months she was instrumental in preparing my body and that July we found out we were pregnant!!! Ok, so you might think this is where the story ends, but honestly, this is kind of where it really gets good! During he 10 months of my pregnancy we put together an incredible team. Our midwife, Jessica Diggs, our doula, Katharine Deeb and the real star of the show (besides my growing boy;), Laura! Laura became a third partner in our preparation. Not only as a practitioner but as a friend who gave the most helpful and beneficial advice. There is nothing I wouldn't do if Laura told me to do it. My trust in her, her experience, her talents and her wisdom knows no bounds. She helped with every single facet of my pregnancy and I am beyond thankful in every way. And when I called Laura at 41+4, after 4 days of prodromal labor, I told her I was considering going the castor oil route to get things go though it went against everything I had be planning on doing...which was trusting my sweet boy to come at the exact moment he was ready. After listening to all of my reasons for and reasons against, Laura reminded me of what I now know to be the most important piece of advice...be the cat in the closet. Now that probably won't make much sense to you now if you are just starting to explore fertility acupuncture. But, that phrase, coming from Laura, who reminded me of everything I had spent so long working towards, changed everything. I skipped the castor oil and gave birth the next day. I could honestly go on and on about how instrumental Laura was during this incredibly exciting, trying, exhausting, rewarding, etc. etc. etc., time in my life. But I'll leave you with this instead... If even the smallest part of you is considering inviting Laura to be a part of your fertility journey, stop right now and just make an appointment. What she provides is worth every penny and I believe that every woman owes it to herself to have someone like her in their corner.

She also provides thoughtful feedback and practical "homework" I can apply outside of class. On top of that, she brings such positive, inspiring energy.

That specialist said that he couldn't do anything for me, and sent me to PT. He just wanted me to take drugs for the pain. PT saw me for a few visits and they said that there was nothing that they could do for me. They too gave up, so I gave up. I went 6 months just sitting and getting worse, until I was introduced to Linda Lack and TBFM. I'll admit that I wasn't expecting much at first after my recent experiences. Now, after months of working together I have made unbelievable progress and my pain levels are down 90% most days, 100% some days, and at its worst it never gets near what it had been before starting TBFM. I have my life back again! I whole heartedly recommend TBFM and Linda Lack to anyone dealing with an injury and pain. I've referred neighbors and they too sing her praises. You won't be disappointed! If you do the work, you'll see the results.
