Julene was the perfect addition to, what I call, my Warrior Squad; a group of professionals that…read morehelp me attain and sustain a lifestyle that serves me. Julene and I focused on my most recent diagnosis of Hashimoto's Thyroiditis, and on the process of reintroducing foods after a self-imposed 3-4 month long elimination diet. She helped me make sense of all of the information out there, and it helped me feel settled, peaceful and empowered about my diagnosis and next steps. What I know now that I didn't know before is that I have the ability to take control of my disease, the ability heal my own body through food and other environmental factors, and the potential to put my disease in remission. Julene is approachable, really easy to talk and relate to, compassionate, very knowledgeable, and provides you with a variety of avenues to look critically at your lifestyle/health-related goals. After working with Julene, I have been able to incorporate foods that I have missed, have maintained an overall state of well-being, and have been able to incorporate foods and systems that will benefit me in the long-run regardless my diagnosis. Thanks for all you do, Julene!

Teresa's right, I don't just go around saying people are fabulous. That's why places that don't get…read more5 stars and just 4 stars shouldn't be offended. That's just how I am. But Laurie's amazing! She was recommended to me by Michelle Graves (who is also amazing) when Michelle was on leave. I never thought about this until I read someone else's review but Laurie really is a wonderful listener with a calming presence. I've had a lot of stress in my life in the past from work and a car accident. Seeing Laurie improves my pain level and overall health. But I always leave Laurie's office much more relaxed and less stressed - I think in part it's her presence in addition to her skills as an acupuncturist. She takes care of muscle spasms, allerigies, insomnia, stress to just name a few. Like Teresa said, she will also offer suggestions for herbal remedies (even via email) and never pushes a sell which I've experienced before. I'm torn between Laurie and Michelle because both are the best. Bonus is Laurie has night hours. I do miss her Saturday hours though because it was nice to have the option to not cram in a session during the work week. She also accepts Blue Cross PPO.

I have been seeing Laurie for the past ~7 months. She has been a tremendous help and a very…read moreimportant part of my journey to get pregnant. What I appreciate most is her truly holistic approach - mind, body and spirit. She's an acupuncturist and psychiatrist for me; using all physical and on-physical information to assess my condition. Laurie is compassionate, knowledgeable, accessible and kind! She is a gem.

I'm currently 22 and went in for what I thought was simple mold exposure and to my surprise she found so much more. She has found things that I have been living with for years and years that I thought was regular for every day people. From mold exposure to an auto immune disorder to viral infections and GI problems she's helping me through it all while also validating me (something I've never found in a doctor before). I am now on a beautiful journey, truly healing myself on the inside and I have never felt better. I will never be able to thank Dr. Paravicini for all she has done and how amazing the facility and staff is as well. 5 stars!!!

Life-changing, life-extending! I know that sounds very dramatic but what I will tell you is that I…read morehave been an active, healthy, vegetarian for a very long time, but an excessively high-pressure job, along with other big life stressors including a cancer diagnosis, were consuming me. A few trips to the ER and dealing with anxiety as well as an emergency surgery were the icing on the cake. I needed help to reset and get back on track to a healthy and mindful way of life. I was suffering from high stress, extreme fatigue & low energy, foggy brain, pain & stiffness, digestive issues, anxiety, weight gain, high cholesterol, high blood sugars, and the list goes on...My body was screaming at me to make changes and I finally heard the message as a cancer survivor, I had wasted too much valuable time and felt like I was running out of time. I had worked with Lila a number of years ago and knew that she was the one that would be able to help me regain my health & wellness, so together we set off to turn things around. Lila's approach is fact/data based coupled with her expertise and experience to create a customized approach for me. We did food sensitivity and micronutrient tests to understand more detail of my current situation. We then started the MRT/LEAP protocol which sounds like a lot but Lila breaks it down so it is easy to understand and follow (certainly helps that she is INCREDIBLY organized). I really enjoyed the process as it really made me aware and more in tune with how my body reacts to the things I eat. I have also really enjoyed eating a whole food diet as the flavors are so wonderful plus she sets you up with hacks and ideas to make this much more practical - even for us really busy people! Lila has also been a tremendous guide and resource when it comes to sourcing recipes, ingredients, and alternative or unfamiliar foods and has been instrumental in helping me to remove harmful ingredients & chemicals from my day to day. Lila has been such a great partner, coach, and teacher on this journey. She has helped me set reasonable goals, pushed me, and held me accountable, all of which I am incredibly grateful for. The results have been remarkable - We have been able to move my cholesterol, blood sugars, and inflammatory numbers SIGNIFICANTLY in 5 months, getting most of my numbers out of the danger zones. I have also dropped 20 lbs and still going. We have reduced my symptoms (based on symptom survey data) by 91%. I feel so much better as all of my symptoms have dramatically improved or gone away. Lila has helped me to relearn the importance of managing and minimizing stress where I can and has affirmed for me the ABSOLUTE power of food, nutrition, self-care, and exercise as medicine for the body, mind, and soul! I would recommend Lila without hesitation to anyone that wants to invest in their health and wellness and wants an active partner in that process!

My girlfriend purchased a private cooking lesson with Olivia for my Christmas present and it was…read moreone of the most amazing experiences I have ever had in the kitchen. My girlfriend and I have a pretty restrictive diet that usually stops us from making and enjoying most recipes. Olivia managed to create an amazing recipe and meal plan for our experience and we couldn't be happier! We made the most fantastic kale pesto salmon + shiitake mushroom & butternut squash risotto with homemade cashew cream all gluten free & no dairy! This food was FANTASTIC, we laughed, we learned so many cooking tips, and it was a great way to start the holidays. Olivia is extremely smart, fun, kind and super knowledgeable about creating a lasting healthy relationship with food!

I made my appointment. Dr. Manning was doing the PRP injections. My elbow went against my rib cage and froze. Kind of scary, They sent me home in a sling. The next day, it released about noon. After my PRP injections, I've been accelerating healing. At night time, I woke me up to a tingling sensation instead of pain. I could feel it healing me. I went back and got my neck, tailbone, and lower shoulder. And then I had to go back and get the left side of my neck, I had bone spurs in my left side. they itched.. A full adjustment at the chiropractor's a breeze now. My spine is at phase 2. I've been rear-ended three times and once from the side. I'm grateful for PRP injections.
