I have been meditating ever since (3 years now) and have not looked back.

This review is for prenatal yoga with Cassie…read more I'm so glad I found this class! First of all studio is clean, calming and quiet. I feel that the class itself is a gift of so much more than just yoga. Cassie is so kind, gentle, and welcoming. What I enjoy the most though, is her knowledge in the areas of yoga, and the female body - especially in this delicate time. I learn something new in every class and always leave feeling refreshed, calmed, and further educated. I love the way we start most classes introducing ourselves and chatting a bit. All girls in this position have things they'd love to chat about w girls in a similar position, but sometimes need an ice breaker. This helps w that and just makes everyone feel more comfortable and welcome. And she offers hot tea if she's made some :) love it My only regret is that I didn't find her months ago.

The studio is clean and very peaceful, even though it is on a somewhat busy street, you couldn't hear the outside traffic at all. I look forward to trying out another class as soon as I can fit it into my schedule.

I agree with Nicolette. I recently had an appointment with Sarah Schwarting and found the…read moreexperience EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTING. She appeared unprepared and unqualified, provided no constructive input, and offered no guidance when I asked for help with motivation--she literally said, "I don't know." Very awkward, and I did not know what to say, and we stood in a whole 2 minutes of silence! The session lacked any meaningful therapeutic conversation. Most of the questions she asked were irrelevant to my concerns (including whether my roommate had a girlfriend), and she offered no strategies, feedback, or support. Her nonverbal behavior also felt awkward and at times condescending. I would not recommend seeing this therapist, as the session felt unproductive and a waste of time.

!!!BEWARE!!! Sarah Schwarting is an EXTREMELYYYY UNQUALIFIED "therapist/counselor" (terms used VERY…read moreLOOSELY here). She yawns and rolls those old big saggy eyes around while "listening". She just stares at you with that long saggy droopy face, not responding to whatever you said. WHAT KIND OF THERAPIST GIVES YOU THE SILENT TREATMENT?????????????? She does not have the skills nor experience to be working with anyone in this capacity. SHE IS DEFINITELY NOWHERE NEAR A SAFE SPACE. She's very RUDE, CONDESCENDING and DISRESPECTFUL. I was very appalled by her behavior and attitude during our one "session". Be very leery about deciding to work with person like this, especially if you're not in the best space mentally/emotionally. 0/10 DO NOT RECOMMEND!!!

It was calm, smelled wonderful and Kristy had a great and loving energy. We talked about what brought me in and what i wanted to get out of my session. I have no idea how long i was on the table (with an Amethyst Heating Pad for healing and comfort) - but when i got off the table, my back felt quite a bit better. Kristy shared with me some of the things she was able to intuit through Reiki about where i was blocked and a special message about my feet. I've been to quite a few different Reiki practitioners and each have their own style. Kristy's style appeared to jive with my energy and it felt wonderful. I will certainly go back.
