They stay open late two days a week allowing me to come after work. It takes around 30 minutes at 5pm to drive from Downtown. You are also allowed to drop in, which is a huge plush when you can't locate an open appointment. Parking is free and plentiful. The location is very clean, quite and relaxing. There is a bathroom and they offer water. I was greeted upon my first arrival and I had and have had very pleasant experience with the doctor. I will keep coming back and hope it will bring relief.

This is a money-grabbing and self-important charlatan with wrong diagnosis. His acupuncture is not…read morecompletely useless, but he has no clue about Chinese medicine, to be honest. He doesn't know how to judge the pulse and the symptoms to treat you appropriately. He only knows the general idea and does not have the ability to look at people individually. But he says in a very self-important manner that he has high academic degrees and that he got awards for his research before. His purpose is to impress you so that you would not question him. He tries to cover his lack of knowledge and lack of ability. He does not allow you to ask any questions, he will get very irritated if you ask because he fears that you notice his lack of competence. What he says is preposterous and confusing. He tells you one thing one day and another thing another day. No consistency and no responsibility. He is so interested in getting your money that he tells you that your decease is so bad that your organ is totally dead. Yet he does not have any means to know it and any basis to claim it. He only says it to scare you and to demand you to come see him often and pay the very high fee. He is using your weakness for his own gain. He is not interested in curing you, but only in getting your money as much as possible! Not a morally sound person!

I had Melodie as my labor doula and she also encapsulated my placenta…read more I had a fast labor (yay!) so she met us at the hospital. She was great support while we were there: providing counterpressure on my back, providing LOTS of encouragement (made transition so much more confident!), taking notes so that she could give me a record of my labor later, and taking care of getting water/snacks and getting anything needed from the nurses and midwife, so that my husband and I could focus on laboring. I was pretty in the zone, and she was awesome at reading what I needed: she'd ask if I needed some water, I'd agree, and then magically she made it appear. I didn't have to think about details, which was very cool. In a way, what was most valuable about Melodie's labor support was what she provided in advance. She met with us at our home a few weeks before the due date (we hired her late) and we talked about what I wanted out of a birth experience and what had been good and bad about my older daughter's birth. She had so many good, thought-provoking questions, and was super thorough even though she didn't seem to be working from a list. At this meeting, she also gave us some ideas for what we could do at home to help me cope with labor before needing her, and before needing to go to the hospital. Her tricks ended up being so effective that I didn't feel the need to go to the hospital until I was nearly transitioning. So that was amazing! She also loaned us a birthing ball for me to sit on to help the baby stay in the right position, which was really nice. Postpartum: Melodie is a unique placenta encapsulation specialist. She did it at our home! Others in the area pick up your placenta and bring your the capsules after a few days, but I had mine after about 15 hours! My parents, who were at home with our toddler, said that she was professional (of course!) and meticulous in cleaning, and really pleasant to talk to. She was there for a few hours the evening after the birth to prepare the placenta, then left it in the dehydrator overnight, then returned in the morning to grind and encapsulate it. She brought it (and herbal perineal wash, a smoothie in my favorite flavor, a little gift for my newborn, some lactation cookies, and other goodies) to me in the hospital so I could start taking them right away. And I highly recommend getting placenta pills, they truly do give you an amazing boost of energy and help stave the baby blues away! I feel so much better on days I take them. Though I didn't get the postpartum concierge service, I think Melodie would be great for that too. Judging by her cookies, she's a great cook, and she's a La Leche League leader so her breastfeeding help should be great (she helped me with positioning in the hospital, which I needed even though I breastfed my first, and was great!) Conclusion: I really can't recommend Melodie highly enough. She's calm, confident, encouraging, and knowledgeable. I feel like her personality was such a good match for my own, which is key in choosing a doula. I had such a fantastic birth experience, and I'm so glad I hired her to make it possible!

Manish is a rare person on many levels. First and foremost he is highly skilled and knowledgeable…read more As another reviewer noted, Manish observes an individual's alignment and learns about a person's prior health concerns. He then is able to offer astute and informed thoughts as to what he can offer to assist in relieving pain, realigning the body with his therapeutic approach of body work. He offered help relating to the scar tissue left from my knee replacement surgery. But far beyond that area he provided relief in other body areas, demonstrating how every part is related. I have never met a person who could offer so much help. Over the next 24 hours I felt so much better. Manish provided ideas so that I might work on my own, strengthening specifically the knee and its surrounding muscle/tissue areas. In a kind, gentle manner Manish provided the "love" my body needed. By love, I mean the proper care and attention my body needed. I can't say enough positive things about his skills and his individualized approach to the body.

I think it was the best massage I've gotten in a very very long time. He actually tailored the massage to MY issue and didn't just do some generic prechoreographed massage. He explained to me what was happening and gave me suggestions to avoid a recurring injury and some strengthening exercises. I felt so much better by the time I was leaving I could walk again. 100% recommend him, and he will even tell you to check out other masseuses to discover different techniques - but honestly, I can't wait to book an appointment with him again!
