And extremely affordably priced, as someone of her caliber normally charges much more. Ankke has done amazing heart wall removal work on several family members, replacing negative trapped emotions and beliefs with positive ones. She also skillfully facilitated a past life regression for me, which I did not think was possible. I saw 3 of my past lives with my mom in this life and it gave me much needed understanding of our current life difficult dynamics. Also, Ankke helped me connect with my brother in law who just passed on so I was able to get closure with him and help from him. I'm really grateful to have someone so talented at everything she does and I highly recommend her!

I've mostly done traditional psychotherapy and pretty much all other kinds of self-care. But recently I got intrigued about energy work after doing a series of courses where I had huge changes happen in my body. I couldn't explain it, but I felt better. And believe me, these sleep deprived days (#newmom), I need to feel better. Jenevie Shoykhet can do just that. I can't explain how, or why, but you will leave feeling rejuvenated and inspired in ways that you didn't think possible. So treat yourself to a healing session with Mama Bear Medicine. You are worth it.

In that time she has equipped us with communication skills that has made both of us feel more connected and able to communicate without bickering.

We're glad we chose her!

I'm giving Dr Gabby 5 stars for her clinical skill , positive impact, ability to be real, ability…read moreto see and "get" both me and my partner, and her effectiveness with couples as a therapist. I saw Dr Gabby back in 2014 - I have thought about her all these years because after meeting with other therapists who had clean offices and were on time, I realize her value overall as a Therapist. My partner has many anger issues, and grew up with a lot of trauma. We saw several very qualified therapists with impressive offices and with professional boundaries - my partner needed a lot of help with our relationship for us to maintain our relationship and I needed a Therapist who had life experience, diverse perspective, ability to address big issues while being compassionate yet real. For some reason my partner would not be honest with other therapists but he felt comfortable enough to be very honest with Dr Gabby. He was most responsive to her (despite the fact that she has a messy office and sessions don't always start on time.). I will add however that once we saw her, we were very satisfied with our session and got our full time. I also appreciated her being a Therapist who is. a person of color - my partner and I are bicultural and she really got some issues between us which no other Therapist has been able to empathize with or get. She is not a "Therapist Robot" who emulates a perfectly trained therapist. But she definitely exudes wisdom, heart and a real sense of getting the complexities that can go along with being human. Her human-ness comes through for sure, but I was ok with issues with time and cleanliness in exchange for being understood and feeling satisfied with my relationship goals. I realize there are Therapists who can be clean, on time and professional, but she was a real human and quite funny. Also, she takes insurance which is an absolute pain to manage. Most good therapists don't take insurance because they don't want the hassle and don't care that they are not affordable.

I had heard of the Alexander Technique years ago and was always curious about it. I had always…read morewanted to improve my posture and thought the technique might be a good way to do that. As it turned out it was way more detailed, nuanced and amazing than a simple technique to improve posture. I have taken two series of classes with Janet over the last several months and what she teaches is difficult to describe in words. Let's just say that I've been a competitive athlete my entire life. I learned things in this class like how to get up out of a chair and how to walk down the street in the most efficient way possible. Janet's class totally exceeded my expectations. Lastly she taught me a toolset that I can use everyday not just to improve my posture and reduce pain, but to employ an efficient and relaxed way of moving through the world. Thanks Janet.

I took a four-evening seminar on Alexander Technique (AT) with Janet earlier this year, and found…read moreit both fascinating and useful. During those four evenings, I really came to appreciate how little I really know about my own body, how I move, and the habits I may have picked up that interfere with my health or physical activities. AT is great way to learn what you're REALLY doing with your body--how you walk, how you stand up, how you lie down. It then helps you correct any problems or lang-standing habits by gently returning the body (and voice!) to their natural balance. It is quite effective. Janet herself is a very kind, giving person, a good teacher and a gentle, perceptive coach. Highly recommended.

These practices helped but but the pain never completely went away. This is when I realized I needed to work with someone who specialized holistic & energetic medicine. It took me more than a year to finally make an appointment with Boris, as I kept making excuses as to why I wasn't ready. As of date, I have seen Boris a total of 8 times and my hip pain is virtually gone. His sessions consisted of gentle, hands-on adjustments to correct physical misalignments, discussions (openly & compassionately) about how trauma can be stored in my body, and how to heal from the inside, out. I feel completely safe and empowered when I work with Boris. His sessions are so benign and at the same time, powerful. I continue to see Boris montly, as his sessions are now a part of my self-care. I've even recommended him to family members who now see him on a regular basis. I'm so grateful that I found Boris and I highly recommend him if you are ready to take charge of your health & well-being.

A family member recommended Boris, and from the very first session, I felt something shift. I've now had 10 sessions with him, and the personal growth I've experienced in that time has been profound. Through Boris's guidance, I've gained clarity, self-awareness, and strength in areas I've struggled with for years--particularly around boundaries, assertiveness, and reconnecting with who I truly am. I've done many types of therapy before, but this has been different. The results have been tangible. I'm becoming a stronger, more centered version of myself. Boris has a unique, thoughtful presence. You can tell he's fully engaged when he listens--really listens. He doesn't try to "fix" you; he helps you unlock the parts of yourself that are ready to rise. His style is grounded, intuitive, and deeply supportive. If you're ready for real movement in your life and want to work with someone who will meet you where you are and help you rise from there, I can't recommend Boris enough.
