I want to share my experience working with Claire Colaco. I have been seeing a therapist for a…read morelarge part of my adult life. I've experienced a wide range of skills and results. A year and a half ago, I started seeing Claire and immediately realized that I had found something new. Compassion, trust, accountability, and a strong desire to help me be successful. I had never experienced this level of attention, focus, and ultimately, a sense of success and happiness. Claire provides a comforting approach to dark and difficult places. She allows a natural progression through emotions, conversation, and action items. Therapy requires work, and sometimes we feel discouraged from continuing. Claire makes treatment feel like a mental serum for self-confidence, accomplishment, and motivation. I am a massive supporter of therapy and self-care. I am the best version of myself today because of my work with Claire. I am still working on things in my life, which I believe is a continuous process. Claire has become my grounding point for emotional and physical change in my life. If you are considering therapy or need a change, Claire Colaco is someone I highly recommend. Be kind to yourself. Allow space in your life for treatment. You will be amazed at how life can change with the proper guidance.

I personally think that everybody should be receiving counseling, whether it be for targeted issues (marriage, parenting, post partum help, depression, etc) or to be a better person in your life and relationships. Claire is a good one ... You can take take my word for it as a clinician and fellow human.

She knows the body and how much pressure to use to get the job done. I'm a chiropractor and have had tons of body work done by many chiropractors, massage therapists, and other types of health care professionals and I have no hesitation in referring anyone to Holly!

I just cant even express the gratitude I feel for Holly! I've been feeling exhausted for no reason…read moreevery day... Holly came out, almost on emergency, for my husband and I (although she didn't know how badly we were in need of her services) and she worked her magic! This was our first encounter so you can imagine we did not know what to expect but were more than surprised at the level of care and compassion she provided us. Not only did she remove my physical pain but my spirit felt lighter almost immediately! ! No other massage therapist has ever accomplished this for me, and for that I am eternally grateful to Holly... I highly recommend her!

As someone who gets really anxious with doctors, I found Dr. Carpenter really warm and welcoming…read more Her office is a comforting space to be in and she asks questions that made me feel like she was addressing my overall well being as oppose to just treating individual symptoms. I've had a full physical exam, including bloodwork (which was taken easily on two different occasions by the on staff phlebotomist), and gyno exams that in themselves are always unpleasant, but were made as comfortable as possible (nice robes, calm lighting, and explanations of things before they occurred). Appointments were always easy to make and billing was explained thoroughly. I recommend her to all of my friends! PS! I recommend looking at the other good reviews that yelp has hidden in regards to Dr. Carpenter's medical care. This bad review seems to only deal with billing, which isn't the defining characteristic of a good doctor.

The only reason I hesitate to post this 5-star review is that Robin is the Best masseuse I've ever…read morefound and I don't want her to be too busy to book me when I need a massage. Or she starts charging too much. Which I hope she doesn't do for me at least, since I'm probably boosting her business by about 50% just through this amazing and 100% honest review. Simply said, she's the best masseuse I've ever gone to, and I go to a lot. You can't go wrong with Robin, people. Namaste.

I hopped onto her heated massage table and soon was in bliss. She is such a talented bodyworker and exceptionally gifted at doing the deep tissue work. She found all of my tender spots and worked out a lot of tension that was trapped in my muscles. Her hands are like magic, she had some techniques, especially when working on my neck, that I don't recall another massage therapist doing. I loved the way it felt. In addition, Robin is just wonderful to be around. She's one of those people who instantly puts you at ease. She has a calm, Zen nature to her that I find refreshing as I'm often operating at warp speed. At the time of this writing, she has moved to a new place near Case Study Coffee on 54th and Sandy and is offering $15 off her services to new clients, whether it's a 60 minute or 90 minute massage. Not sure how long that will last, but if you're reading this now, I'd suggest hopping on it! I'll know I'll definitely be back for more. I see that her Yelp listing has an older address, so I think just call or text her at 503-477-0931 or visit her website http://www.robinbodhi.com/bodywork.html to get in touch.

As another member on the growing list of Maraya's clients with extensive prior massage experience,…read moreI too can attest to Maraya earning high marks in professionalism, care, adaptability, detail orientation and sincerity in her work and the people it brings her into contact with. Maraya is keenly aware of the fact that her hands are but one instrument in the ensemble of an exceptional massage experience. She combines them with a level of conscientiousness and communication not usually found in someone without an extensive tenure in massage therapy, making each session a kind of hand-crafted snowflake; so individually tailored as to be utterly unique from every other. Maraya is not only very good at what she does, she is only getting better. Having moved too far away from my lifetime masseuse to be able to make appointments any more than once a year, I'm so relieved to know that such a suitable alternative exists here.

Therapy is about a safe space to express vulnerability with someone that you respect and it appears that I won't be finding that here with you, Catherine. Cute choice of verbiage.
