She became overly involved with me, wanted a personal relationship. As one example, when I talked…read moreabout wanting to move, she suggested moving nearer to her, and mischaracterized me as "stubborn" when I said I needed to generally stay where I was geographically. Your reader shouldn't be initiating or at all interested in anything but a professional relationship. In the end, because she developed a role conflict, she was unable to accurately and objectively read the cards, and that is exactly what happens with personal over-involvement. So although the initial readins were good, in the end they were useless.

I've had Tarot card readings from Mari many times, and since I live in Minneapolis, MN, we usually…read moredo them by phone or Skype. I'm always amazed by how accurate they are, and how helpful it is to see clearly what is influencing my life or situation most at a given time, and how I can consciously and intentionally choose what comes next. I would say Mari reads the cards from a powerful "flow state" - a neutral, yet highly aligned and connected state. She's obviously connected to the Highest & Deepest Good of the person in front of her. On a practical level, I always leave feeling like we uncovered a missing, yet important piece of information that I can act on in my everyday life. If there's something I don't understand, I just ask her to give me a real-life or more specific example, and she does. At the end of a reading I feel empowered, more relaxed, and uplifted, even if what is revealed is challenging. I feel energized and capable of facing or embracing my own best next steps.

Firstly you are greeted with the cutest sparkling water infused with chlorophyll to start off your pamper. I had the ABB- Anything but basic facial, which was nothing short of incredible. My favorite part was experiencing the dermablading exfoliating technique. "Dermablading is the process of gently scraping away dead skin cells and 'peach fuzz' hairs to give your skin a smoother, brighter complexion." My face feels like baby skin! I also love getting professional chemical peels done. I also got to experience the new IV drip therapy which was so cool!! You can pick from 3 options: flawless drip, bounce back drip, and nutri drip. I had the Bounce back drip for hydration, nausea and headaches. To explain a bit more- this is from lamarie.com "IV therapy is a method of administering fluids into the body via the blood vessels, and it's the fastest way possible to deliver essential nutrients to your body." It's and Efficient way to -Resolve nausea -Boost your immune system -Strengthen hair, skin, and nails.

I worked with Alex on the recommendation of friends. Before I started a 10-session Structural…read moreIntegration series in early 2015, I asked him if it was a reasonable expectation to view this as a "body reset". I had been experiencing chronic pain for over a year in my quads and piriformis that no amount of self work through yoga or assisted work through message could relieve. He shared this was a reasonable expectation and we began the series. Not only did my chronic pain go away (YEAH!) through the series my mind-body blossomed to a new level I didn't know was possible (even after 10+years of yoga!). I have since started a home TRE practice (first guided by Alex) and go back every 6-9 months for a "tune up body work session". I am grateful for Alex's knowledge, professionalism, compassion, guidance and ability to help me feel optimally healthy.

I first found Alex when I was searching for bodyworkers specializing in TRE (Tension/Trauma Release…read moreExercises). I made a note to self to book in with him, and by chance I got to meet him in person at a TRE seminar before even booking any sessions with him. This past year working with Alex has been amazing! He is a wealth of knowledge and is very thoughtful and professional at all times. When working with clients, he considers all of their needs (emotional, physical,mental) and is great at then communicating with you what areas he senses could be worked on, and always working within your comfort zone. I highly recommend Alex for anyone seeking deeply therapeutic body work!! Get ready to feel a new you!!

I purchased a one-month massage membership through Groupon and had my first appointment with Geri…read more She does excellent deep tissue work, and I felt incredibly relaxed by the end of the nearly two hour massage. She made a great start on loosening up some areas that are consistently tight, and I can already feel the difference. Prior to your massage, the therapist will chat briefly with you about your goals for the session. They also offer water and a small snack plate (sliced apple and carrot, cracker, and chocolate) which you can enjoy before or after your massage, which is a really nice touch. Following the massage, they'll let you know what areas of tension they noticed, and give suggestions for things you can do at home to help relieve them. Their scheduling system is a little unusual - you don't make an appointment for a certain length of massage. Rather you choose wellness session or full body treatment- each of which has a time range. It's not clear how the therapist decides on the length of the session, although you are able to let them know if you need to be done in a certain amount of time. Also, although they have evening and weekend hours, those seem to be booked well in advance, so if you don't have daytime availability it may be difficult to get in. Street parking is easy to find, but is 2 hours during the day, which might be a problem with longer sessions. Overall this is a really nice place for a massage, and I definitely recommend Geri!
