I saw Amy when I felt I still needed help after energywork tools I learned and after I went to some practitioners repeatedly for a few issues. Her intake was very thorough. And her intuition was spot on about my past and present. I'm so grateful that she helped me make a decision that had been plaguing me for too long. And I like that her healing space is in nature. Warning! You'll feel nurtured.

She's got a calming presence paired with an ability to delve deep - bringing words and vivid imagery to feelings I had previously struggled to understand much less communicate.

If you're looking for gentleness and empowerment and getting to the core of what you're dealing with, Amy is a wonderful guide.

My work with Lorrie was essential in integrating years of psychotherapy. Her body/mind approach to…read morehealing helped me find the strength to ask for what I needed in my recent divorce and to let go of old patterns of relating to my ex husband. It also helped me overcome my fear and create a passionate and empowering relationship with my new boyfriend. After working with Lorrie, I feel more powerful in my body and am more active, doing more bike riding, sailing and continue practicing Tae Kwon Do. Symptoms such as wheezing and anxiety have been minimized and when they do arise, I know how to turn them around faster. Lorrie even taught me a tapping technique which I sometimes use with my clients to help them feel calmer. In combination with Lorrie's expertise in the Body Talk technique, I found her friendly, fun and loving way of accepting me fully most healing. I highly recommend Lorrie's work. Jana, Therapist

I think it's for diagnostic reasons, but it feels amazing. Then she does cupping followed by the acupuncture. The pain seems to melt away and I always get the best sleep that night. Most recently I had her work on my knees after I feel down stairs with laundry. Landed knees first on my wood floor. The pain was still pretty severe for about a month. Then I told Liz and she switched up the needle placements...I now think of her as a magical healer. The pain almost instantly went away. I woke up the next morning without having to suffer the few minutes of getting the knees warmed up. Now, the pain is 95% gone. Both her space and energy are soothing. From what I hear, her rates are amazing as well. I have no doubt she'll be able to keep me moving pain free and as active as I am for years to come.

I sought Liz's treatment as it was really hard to use my arm. It felt "jammed" and this was the first time this ever happened to me. Liz's treatment completely fixed my arm. The cupping treatment was what helped my shoulder the most. It felt as if my muscles were put back in their places. I felt overall destressed from doing acupuncture. I will definitely be seeking more treatment from Liz. I have been recommending all my friends to come see her!

By including the mastery of various therapies such as flower essences, EFT and sound nutritional advice, Quantum Energetics is such a valuable tool for anyone experiencing physical, emotional or energetic issues. Quantum Energy works on such a subtle and profound level which I don't yet fully understand but have no doubts about. I believe it helped me reverse trauma from my own birth experience and know it did wonders for the way I feel about looking in the mirror. The combination of the cranial work and the energy therapy left my face restructured, with more room between my eyes and around my nose. I never realized there wasn't "space" on my face, or on my scalp though I had been aware of the different plates of my skull. Having dabbled in other healing techniques, I am incredibly sensitive to energy. This is refreshingly unique and different! After experiencing network care for a while, I can only express the shift resonating in the nervous system, and resetting previous programming for more effective, adaptive and restorative benefits. I feel energized and restored after working with Jenny. I recommend her to anyone experiencing health challenges that are complex and curious.

Also, I feel the improvement and balancing of my body creating new patterns and working more efficiently, physically, intellectually and spiritually. The healing work we do together has opened me, a lot, particularly in stuck channels and places. The process of going in for session also feels really do-able. What's that saying... we are presented with only what we can handle. Treatment with Jenny has been an integral part of my healing process. I have gotten a lot out of my experiences thus far, and look forward to each session. I highly recommend Jenny, and share her practice with everyone I love. -Perhaps, the highest compliment I can pay Jenny is to do so and share this with you.

I am deeply…read moreappreciative of the work that I was able to do with Jessica over this time, and I believe it has helped me immeasurably to get to a positive place in my life today. Jessica's style was perfect for me. Her attentive listener, thoughtful and knowledgeable feedback, insightful suggestions and sharing of resources, and her gentle but focused encouragement, all contributed to my progress as I climbed out of a deep hole which had previously seemed inescapable. I have a revitalized passion for life and I owe much of it to the work I did with Jessica., who always kept my long term goals in mind and took every effort to provide a warm space to work in. I am so thankful for Jessica's approach, the space and support provided, and her holistic sense of what I needed in a given session. The knowledge and habits I have developed as a result of Jessica's care and support have made a huge difference in my life. Coming to the Connective was a wonderful development for me and I am forever appreciative of my time with Jessica. I feel ready to continue my journey and excited to continue my progress with the insights I have gleaned about myself, my relationships with others, and my outlook on life. As insurance did not cover our sessions, I paid totally out of pocket. That is the only reason why I am withdrawing from therapy; the sessions were worth the price, but my financial realities mean I need to take a break from The Connective. The fact that I stayed with the Connective for so long evidences that I found the experience truly helpful and rewarding. I would not hesitate to recommend this organization in general and Jessica in particular. Thank you!

Karyn is amazing! She's friendly, knowledgeable, kind, personable, and thorough…read more I saw her for help figuring out how/what to eat given the many food intolerances that I have, and she was SO, SO helpful! I've been to other doctors that were wonderful in helping me figure out that my diet needed some changing, but no one was able to get into the practical nitty-gritty of "Here's specific recipes that you can make that are healthy, quick, and fit your exact dietary needs." Karyn was able to understand the big picture of my dietary issues AND the small details of what to do on a daily basis. After our first appointment, she sent me a wonderful follow-up email that included everything we had talked about, as well as a goldmine of links and recipe ideas. She understood exactly what I was looking for, and I am very grateful :)

Karyn is a great nutrisionist! I came into her office a month after I had miscarried, knowing I…read morewas addicted to sugar but not wanting to quit my grande caramel latte that I'd been drinking for the past 10 years! That first visit she was very nice but very straight forward with me, asking me why I was there. I left asking myself that very same question and realizing that I wanted help to break the grip of sugar on my life. I know she thought I was never coming back. But I knew I needed to come back even though I didn't want to stop sugar. She has been working with me over the past 7 months, and for the past 4 months I no longer need a caramel latte in the morning to get me going. I have changed the way I eat but I'm not hungry or starving. I don't count anything. I have lost 22 pounds with less excercise than I was doing before, my husband has lost 35 pounds and we both feel so much better. My asthma is no longer keeping me up at night. My period is no longer irregular, and while I am not pregnant yet, I do feel my body is healthier and in a good place for when that does happen. I also like that my skin has cleared up and I can tell a difference with my hair. I don't eat "perfectly" but the changes Karyn has helped me make are very sustainable. Karyn was always positive and very informative. She was kind, compassionate yet honest with me. She is very generous with her knowledge and her follow up emails are specific to what I need and help to keep me on track. I am currently working on uncovering what some of my specific food sensitives are but I could never have gotten to this point with out Karyn! She is an amazing person. When I felt guilty about eating something, she helped me move past that in such a positive way. Before when I would get sick, I would never associate it to the way I was eating. Now when I eat poorly, I can feel the association and the desire is getting less because I don't like the way I feel. Before I could never make that distinction because I didn't know how good it felt to eat better and what it could do for me. If you are thinking of seeing a nutrisionist and you have the opportunity to see Karyn, I would do it. I wasn't ready to make all the changes when I first started seeing her but I am so glad that I didn't let that stop me because she has changed my life in an amazing way! This is the first review I have ever written but I just couldn't keep Karyn a secret!
