Seh also wrote me a personal Happy Birthday card and had it hand decorated by one of her daughters and she hung a big birthday balloon banner in the studio for me. She treats me better than my own family! Taichi has a diagnostic phase; different than yoga. During the warmup phase the movement drills she teaches you allows you to diagnose where in the body you have less strength and flexibility. You can also detect loss of symmetry in balance. Very different than other forms of exercise. She also teaches you how to work on specific problem areas related to today's lifestyle like upper shoulders and lower back. These progressions are very different than traditional western based cardio and weight lifting exercise. Can develop a monitoring of your own body ad correlate it with the amount you sleep to tune your health levels. I can't get that by doing more miles on the treadmill. Very unique and talented individual. One in a million. She has world class talent; taught live in Chinese TV to millions of people and was practicing since 4. If you grew up in China you have seen he on TV. Incredible person. Polar opposite of the male powerful western martial arts instructor. Can't believe someone like this exists, very rare. Excellent teacher. Never met someone with this much range; able to customize to different groups so effortlessly. Her bio shows 20+ years of teaching experience and it shows in the sessions. She gave us 2 separate demos. Looks like what you see in the martial arts movies. When she throws a punch, the transition from standstill to fast motion punch is breathtaking. Can't replicate that on movies. They add sound effects which isn't the same as experiencing it in real life. The physical displacement and pace of the movement is not something most people can replicate, looks different when she does it. Definitely a special person. Worth the in person visit. From the awards she has won she is as famous in taichi as is Steph Curry in basketball. Very interesting. Not just the physical talent which makes a champion. Also maturity, mental toughness, and being a better person are all tools which are needed to be the best in the world. Many similarities to what Steph is like today. She is a world champion in what teaches and has won many competitions https://baike.baidu.com/item/%E5%90%B4%E9%98%BF%E6%95%8F/4753116 Incredible!!!

My experience with her…read morehas been incredible, as I have seen her passion and dedication for helping patients live as their healthiest selves. She demonstrates this in the way she talks about her own experiences in both having and treating illness as well as going out of her way to set up appointments when I need them when other doctors have failed me. Dr. Gina is a medical doctor who performs as a doctor should, helping with diagnosis, treatments, prescriptions, recommendations etc, but her help presents in a form that is far more wholistic, empowering, and human than that of most medical professionals. I highly recommend Dr. Gina Serraiocco.

I chose him based on the amount of good reviews on him and he did not disappoint! He is professional, sincere and cares deeply about his clients. I'm so happy for him that he finally opened his own place this year. It's inside a hot yoga studio, but pretty easy to find, and parking is not a problem. His website allows you to book and manage appointments online, very simple and efficient. I came back for his deep tissue massage as soon as I got the green-light from my OB, and it is even better then the pre-natal massage now that I can finally lay on my stomach! Raymond caters his massage to my issues, which he could pinpoint exactly. Also, Raymond is fun to talk to but not in a chatty annoying way, which is a plus if you just want to relax and enjoy your massage. OK, I lied, deep tissue can hurt sometimes, but it's the good kind of pain ;) I would recommend this place and Raymond to anyone who wants a good massage experience. In fact, I just made my husband go on his website and make an appointment next week: as new parents we don't have much time for yoga and Raymond's massage might be the next best thing for now!

As I described in the last review, Dr. Liang prescribed and prepared the Chinese herbal soup for me, This soup can not only promote blood circulation, but also improve metabolism. I drink it for almost one month, The effect is increasingly apparent. At the same time, I also receive Dr. Liang's meridian therapy on my dowager's hump. Now it is almost cured. That is so unbelievably amazing. I think after more treatment and drinking the soup, my dowager's hump will eventually be got rid of. My numbness on my right leg is disappearing step by step. Dr. Liang suggests me to walk about half an hour each day, and to stretch a few times a day. He also shows me the correct way to stretch with great patience. I can feel that he truly cares about his patients, obviously patients' health is his first priority. This is why he gains my respect.

Then I started going into group classes that were closer to my house for convenience They were OK, but I never felt like I was getting a really good workout. About a year ago, I decided to look for a private instructor again. I am so thankful I found Ginny! The workout that I get from her feels like a true Pilates workout. She watches your form, comes up with different movements. It's ever changing. And what I had in the last 10 years of Pilates classes in comparison to what I get with Ginny. I have a complete body transformation!! And I'm not the healthiest eater. If you're serious about getting your body back into shape. You want more flexibility.

I think I am a bit on the young side for suffering from shingles, and this took me completely be surprise. I had lesions on my forehead, eyebrow and side of my nose, and even had some on my right eyelid. It was quite scary, and my Western medicine doctor was debating whether or not I needed to be hospitalized. In addition to the prescription antiviral, I went in twice per week for acupuncture treatments for three weeks. I really feel these treatments were instrumental in my recovery. Cynthia and Anya nimbly prescribed different herbal formulas as my symptoms changed. They also suggested using moxibustion at home, which I feel was very helpful. I feel lucky that I had this support available to help get my immune system back in balance.

After meeting Anya in a totally unrelated setting I was immediately drawn to her honesty as a person and her passion and confidence as a clinician. Being a past non believer of Eastern medicine, I viewed acupuncture and herbs as "Oh... Those ...People". After taking a leap of faith with Anya my views where completely changed. She has an amazing bedside manner, detective like approach, and a brilliant understanding of how our body's works with respect to blood flow and pressure. I had gone through 6 months of Chemo Therapy after being diagnosed with stage 3 colon cancer. My body had been poised from the inside out. I was open to a different treatment philosophy to bring my health back. Thank God I met Anya! After my first treatment with Anya, it was almost euphoric. I had never been more relaxed, however I had never felt more present with a heightend sense of my surroundings.....I was a believer from that moment on. The rest is history. I now look forward to my treatments and what ever Anya advises me to do. I trust her with my life as well as my family. I'm one of her biggest fans, thanks for bringing me in!
