I recently had my under eye area treated by Dr Sanderson, and I'm just blown away by the results! I would highly recommend anyone "sitting in the fence" about getting aesthetic procedures to book a consultation with Thrive Medspa.

I'm sitting in the chair waiting on Doctor Sanderson as I begin to draft this review (I came back…read moreto finish it a few weeks later since botox takes time to kick in). The doctor saw me 35 minutes late (as in AFTER my appointment start time, and I even checked in early) so you probably already know where this review is going! The office is nice, comfortable and clean. It's in the basement of the Island Club Spa and Fitness. I did their "Forever Young" promo which is a scam. They charge you $150 for that promo and it comes with 10 units of Botox which is not enough to actually treat an area so you end up having to add more units at $14 each which quickly adds up. I got 18 units (9 for each eye) and you get a tiny bag of sample sized products and a $50 credit for a future visit. For context, the amount of botox they advised me to get was 70-80 units which is around $980-$1,120. I didn't want to do that the first time just in case I had a bad reaction. The $150 promo is really just a bait and switch. A few noteworthy things: The office offers you a $50 credit for posting a review. I wonder if this unfairly impacts their reviews because they have a lot of positive ones. I also wonder if my 1 star review will get me a credit (if I ever go back)? I'll update later with the answer. I paid $271 for Botox and it looks like it had zero affect. There's nothing different about my eye wrinkles. (I'm writing my review 3 weeks later so yes, it's had time to "kick in"). As I mentioned they are not good about honoring appointment time so don't schedule anything if you have a hard stop afterwards. Front desk staff are friendly and helpful. Buyer beware. They have a "no refunds" policy, so if they mess you up, you're not happy or it's a total disaster... you must still pay. You also pay for a no show or last minute cancellation which is understandable but they also take your credit card number before they even book you. So you're obligated to follow through! This might be a plus if you're like me and a bit scared. Parking is a bit of a hassle in the garage. I've never seen a stall open in the outside area and I used to go to that gym.

Before finding Gil, I had tried everything: HIIT, running, barre, pole fitness, pickleball, but…read morenothing really stuck. I had a sports background in high school, but once the reality of adult life set in with work, cooking, laundry, and other responsibilities, my motivation was lost. I decided to Google and Yelp "personal trainers" to see what was out there, and that's when I came across Gil and Dynamix Health and Fitness. My husband was also interested in getting back into shape, so he reached out, and we set up a consultation together. We have been with Gil for a little over 2 years now, and from day one he and his team have been welcoming, supportive, and genuinely invested in our goals. Gil's workouts are straightforward and effective. He uses tried-and-true exercises that are proven to build strength safely, help us progress, and focus on the fundamentals, so we actually know what we're doing and can see results. He also provides nutrition guidance, teaches proper technique, and builds custom workouts that adjust as our goals evolve. All our sessions are 1-on-1, with constant encouragement and positive feedback. Gil and his team are approachable, caring, and it honestly feels like training with friends who want you to succeed. We highly recommend Gil and his team!

Understanding yourself and what you put into yourself and your system will show and work for or against you.

I needed a change. And I needed help finding a healthy way to do it and make it a lifestyle habit…read more Chelsea to the rescue! My why: I wasn't obese, but I definitely wasn't skinny. We all WANT to lose weight, but it's another thing setting that plan into action and sticking with it. The biggest thing that set those plans into action for me was the results I got from my doctor. My a1c levels were high, and I was diagnosed as prediabetic. After seeing my father's health decline due to his Type II diabetes and eventually pass from this and other health issues, I KNEW I needed a change. I also don't have kids, and I have been diagnosed as having PCOS which would make it difficult if we did want kids. So, the PCOS and prevention of Type II diabetes were the biggest reasons for me to change for my future and my FAMILY. I reached out to Chelsea in the beginning of February. She was quick to respond and so friendly. We had a phone conversation about my goals and a little bit about what her program was about, how it worked, why she got into doing what she does, and the options I could do if I chose to have her as my health consultant. This consultation is FREE and I never felt pressure to sign up for anything. It was just honest, genuine information, and she already made me feel so comfortable talking with her. We chose a program for me based on my needs and my finances. I won't go into details, but I'll just let you guys know that she makes everything so easy to follow and really works on changing your mindset (not just your diet). She doesn't just tell you to eat this or eat that; she asks you to ask yourself, WHY do you eat the things you do. What situations have what types of effects on you, on hunger, on your stress levels? She goes so much deeper than a nutritionist would, and I honestly can say that her results for my life will last longer than ANY diet I would ever try. This is because I view food in a totally different manner now. Because of Chelsea, I have not changed my diet, I have changed my outlook and feelings of and towards food and what they mean in my life. It is a wholesome change. She doesn't just focus on food. She focuses on many things in life including food, stress, happiness, sleep, family...and much more. She has led me to the right sleep schedules, eating schedules, what to eat and drink, what supplements could help me, even what books and documentaries would interest me. Literally, she has been such a huge part of my life, even post-program. As for my results, I have lost over 20 pounds. I lost maybe 7 pounds during the time of the program with Chelsea, but I continued to lose after the program ended because my lifestyle was changed and the weight kept coming off. The 20+ pounds lost has been over the course of 3 months. I've been losing a bit more than 5lbs per month without trying hard now because of the things I learned from Chelsea. It's crazy because I don't feel like I made huge sacrifices in life, or was deprived of anything on a diet. I feel like I gained SO much knowledge, I was constantly listening to hunger and eating the right foods my body needs as fuel. I'm still using all the tools Chelsea gave to me during her program, even without realizing it because it was easy to follow and has become part of my regular lifestyle. I never met Chelsea in person, only through our FaceTime meetings, yet I always felt so comfortable talking with her. The sessions seem to go by fast, because it's like you're talking with a friend who is SUPER knowledgable about everything health related! I highly recommend her if you are looking for a change in your life and want to be happier and healthier--she definitely turned my life around.

I had already done a lot of of concussion rehab but that plus my perfectionist overachiever personality had pushed my nervous system too far. My symptoms were still severely limiting my life. Alyssa was amazing in meeting me where I was at and I've grown so much through my coaching with her. She has such a calm, inviting presence, even online it shines through. The vision drills have helped my eyes calm down and I'm even able to start driving some. We worked through some chronic pain in my foot to slowly build up to me being able to walk my son to school! Alyssa is a great listener and I find our sessions are so fun because we are uncovering another layer to work on! Her calm and gentle approach to vision and vestibular exercises is the perfect speed for my nervous system. Slowly, week by week we are expanding my world and I continue to learn more about myself. She is super professional and empathetic and a genuine wonderful human being.

When I came to Alyssa, she assured me that the burn out, overwhelm, and extreme mental and emotional discomfort I was feeling were real, valid, and normal considering everything I'd been through pre-concussion. Having someone who truly sees you through a painful time was life-changing, and the tools, skills, and mindset shifts she taught me have transformed how I relate to my symptoms and body. Thank you, Alyssa, for teaching me so much in such a short amount of time so I could truly start to regulate my nervous system and take care of myself with real tools and loving clarity.

Dr. Mei-Lin is amazing!…read more In our quest for parenthood, I stumbled upon Maunakea Acupuncture. My Obgyn said to just continue trying and come back in a year if nothing happens. Me (being my impatient self) wanted to explore other possibilities. I'm still young and relatively healthy, so I was looking for a naturopathic option. She did an extensive consultation and walked me through the plan before we started acupuncture. She asked about things like my diet, lifestyle, and gave me great advice on what I should/shouldn't do. The next appointment was scheduled for acupuncture. I'm not sure if it was the timing or the stars just aligned. I immediately got pregnant after the first session! A pregnancy test confirmed it a month later on Father's Day. I saw her religiously during the first trimester and sparingly throughout my pregnancy. Based off my pulse, she was able to identify the baby's gender and confirmed we're having a boy! Now, a year later, we have a healthy and happy baby boy! I still see her once a month post partum to help my body heal. Thank you Dr. Mei-Lin! PS She also helped fix my reoccurring knee and ankle pains Thanks for reading my reviews! Let me know what I should try next!

I'm now an NPC Judge and currently training in Jiu Jitsu. I had known of Jed for a while before finally booking a 30-minute session to give him a test run. With no prep time, he put together four exercises on the spot. After the first one, I looked at him and said, "Sign me up for five more sessions--immediately." Jed brings his A-game to every session. He's constantly pushing me to be a better athlete, always thinking of new ways to challenge and improve me. He's motivating, professional, and always respects my time--he answers my messages promptly and never lets personal distractions interfere with training. What really sets him apart? He's never negative. He doesn't talk down to people, doesn't gossip--just pure, focused energy. Training with Jed is a breath of fresh air. He's a keeper, and I'm keeping him as my trainer.

All his plans are straight forward nothing fancy and all the basics that you need. We made a lot of progress in the 1 year we have worked together and the two shows I competed in we made improvements on so I look forward to the future to see how much I can progress. Everything we have done has worked so as long as you are putting in the effort he will see it and does acknowledge it. He is very old school and blunt and can have mood swings at times and doesn't censor himself so if you can't handle criticism or don't have thick skin and get emotional I would not go to him. Overall happy with having him as coach and he is very affordable. And I would recommend him to anyone.

I have been a patient…read morefor almost 10 yrs. during which I can say all the staff have come through for me so many times. They approach healing from a naturopathic & "modern Western" view. The care team focuses on whole body wellness and advocates sound alternative medicinal therapies like accupuncture, meditation, vitamins & supplements, but with good sense will go straight to modern medicine if that's the best for the ailment. I like that everything is under one roof, I can get my physical & occupational therapy here and also women's care like the Pap smear. It's an upscale almost boutique clinic that is a blessing to find. Some other helpful points: *‍They offer Telehealth via MyChart or Zoom and it has been my go to for a few years now because it's so convenient and easy to do. *Billing is hassle-free! Have a few things going on requiring separate billing? Think car accident insurance workman's comp, regular health insurance all together. No problem, no attitudes about it and no incorrect charges coming to you. *Most medical insurance is accepted *Impressive network. They give referrals based on personal knowledge not just because they're in the system. *Up to date! They know about current treatments & medicines, what's working better than others. *Tranquil office overlooking the ocean, easy to get to on the bus, Uber/Lyft, driving, scooter/bike. Secure parking and lock 'em up spots. * Close to food & shopping! Down to Earth is literally a few blocks away and they have yummy food and groceries then 1 block over is Fisher's for office supplies and cool pens. Down the road is Ala Moana center if you want more shopping. With Manakai o Malama going to the doctor almost got fun!
