Okay, what can I possibly say about Erika that won't take up the entire page…read more You know how you hate to admit that you need to figure out your shit and then you come to the point where you have no choice but to make that dreaded phone call. "Hi. I'm having a crisis, nothing's going right, I drink too much, I look like shit, my relationship is falling apart and I feel like a total failure at life." So you call Erika and while professional, you feel for the first time in your life that no one is judging you for being a bit messed up and rattled in the brain. She is very positive and she's damned determined to get you back on track. Her goal ultimately is not to keep you as a client, but have you walk away achieving your goals and with a healthy mind and attitude. When you walked in a bit freaked out, you leave feeling like a supastar! Frustrations? What frustrations? Erika is certified in EMDR, which helps people who have suffered trauma. Not trauma like a head wound, but trauma like someone put a gun to your head and robbed you blind or like me, having a pretty serious accident and never really recovered from experience until I had the chance to work with Erika. Erika's warmth and compassion are very comforting. I highly recommend her as a therapist for addictions, trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, couple's therapy or even as a life coach to guide you to success. I have to say, she's done it all for me and it's been a success. Thank you Erika!

What an amazing experience to be in the healing presence of Valerie in her beautiful Vestibule…read moresound and healing space. Once again I am filled with peace and wisdom after a session with Valerie. She is generous and wise, and found the perfect path for me today. I'm filled with deep gratitude.

I can barely find the words to describe my session with Valerie…read more The space itself is beautiful, light-filled and peaceful. One of the most energetically bright interiors I have stepped into in a long time. I felt completely held by Valerie and the Vestibule which allowed me to sink into the experience feeling calm, open and safe. Although I thought I was going in for a simple liver cleanse, what surfaced was deeper and more profound and Valerie was right on it! I received a powerful energetic healing that has left me feeling 500 pounds lighter and the clarity keeps increasing as the days go by. I look forward to my next session with this gifted woman in this truly magical place.

From the initial consultation to the session itself, I felt heard and supported, and Adrianna (as has been stated by others in their reviews) is magical. She is a wonderful listener, clearly cares deeply about her clients (in fact, I felt like I was her only client knowing full well that she has many), and she guided me through every step of the process. All in all, I can't recommend her highly enough.

And that's before you even get on the table! I am always able to drop in easily and deeply which is a rare occurrence for me given my overactive mind. But with Adrianna I just drift off somewhere else while she works her magic. When the session is over I feel like I've gone through a deep spiritual and energetic cleansing and reset. I'm walking out a lighter and more blissful human. Reiki was not a medicine I had considered powerful until I started working with Adrianna. Now I come back again and again to Adrianna's special medicine and it's an integral part of my health and wellness routine. She is truly gifted and so masterful in her craft, and she is so deeply committed to making sure you are taken care of - I always feel so safe and held in our sessions. Highly highly recommend working with her!

Suzanne was a profound investment in our marriage…read more My husband and I interviewed a few couples therapists shortly after we were married for maintenance work, but as soon as we had our intro call with Suzanne we knew we had found our therapist. She has this incredible ability to s-l-o-w arguments down, identify the cycle, and bring to the surface the vulnerability that belies a given heated situation. We both feel we understand each other so much better, and over a period of months the arguments we once had deescalated into just blips, then conversations, and now we have graduated and remain super happily married. We cannot recommend her highly enough.

I'm a newbie when it comes to holistic healing, but my curiosities led me to working with Vinitha…read morefor a number of different ailments I was working through. At the time, I felt lost in various aspects of my life--emotionally, spiritually, even mentally. It only took a few sessions with Vinitha to really shift my mindset to a place of knowing and healing that I had never experienced before. Instead of talk therapy, Vinitha offers a much more experiential approach. I learned to embrace guidance and wisdom from within, identify inner parts of myself that I was never fully aware of but whose encounters and existence helped me hold space for myself and to realize that I'm never truly alone. Depth hypnosis was a very foreign of a concept, but Vinitha made me feel safe and in control. I've also tried the shamanic counseling and it has been transformative. I signed up for in-person sessions and online sessions and was always blown away at how magical and healing her space was. I feel like I have a source of power and skills to tap into whenever I need to make sense of my emotions and thought patterns. These tools and techniques are powerful stuff. Vinitha is truly a gem and I highly recommend her healing practice if you've felt like you've tried everything to get yourself centered, grounded and feeling whole again.

I was truly stunned to discover how effective Debi's hypnotherapy would be. While it would be…read moresimpler to say that the hypnosis alone was singularly effective, it was Debi herself who made our work extraordinary. Whether or not you lean towards traditional therapudic philosophy, or are open to a more spiritual mindset, Debi's patience, kindness, and open heart make room for lasting healing and personal growth without fear or judgement. It was through our work together that I found the strength to claim agency over my health and we'll being, and I couldn't be happier with the results. Thank you, Debi!

She gave me the tools to calm me down in times of stress. We worked on my drinking habits also and I went 40 days without a drink. I no longer get the shakes when I don't drink or have the desire to drink everyday after work. I lost 5lbs in 5 weeks. I am more calm and can handle other people who try to pick on my energy. Or who are very negative. I've become more spiritual. I also, for the first time in over two years am able to sleep without the lights on for over two months now! I was sleeping with a night light and now I do not have to. I felt her sessions were life changing and I hope you will find her sessions life changing also!

My visit with Avi was profound. I've had 4 sessions with Avi now and each one has been eye opening…read moreand super revealing. I was going through some hard emotional stuff, and just felt like i was in a confused, agitated funk. And then I went to see Avi. She was calm, professional and so knowledgable. She read my body and my subconscious and gave me key words to understand what I was struggling with. She helped me name it - which is so powerful! Once we named those emotions/feelings/blockages and brought it to my awareness, she was able to help release them from my mind and body. She is a true healer. She helped me to forgive, to release, to let go of old stuff and move FORWARD. So much gratitude. Thank you, Avi! I'm looking forward to my next session!

What the heck is CRT and how can it help me with my plethora of physical (and issues)? I decided to…read moredo the trial offer and after one session was intrigued, so bought a 6-appointment package. Over the last 6 sessions, Avi has helped me identify and work on areas of my life I have been stuck in (or have been ignoring!). She reads my body and asks clarifying questions (e.g. "did you have childhood trauma when you were around 14?"), and then helps me clear any negativity related to those issues. I've noticed certain energy shifts over the last 3 months - I feel more capable and empowered to deal with life in general, and my physical issues have cleared up (foot and back pain). Her calming energy and non-judgmental manner - and dry sense of humor! - has helped me open up about certain things in my past that I'd never addressed. I look forward to working with her again.

I saw Dr. Teray when she was still at Berkley Naturopathic Medical group. she was quite helpful…read more i had to come to here after a severe viral in early 2014 and she was one of a few doctors I had been seeing. She spent the first part of the session hearing me out and listening to everything I had to say, doing her best to get a whole picture of who I was. She then prescribed some supplements and vitamins. While some of what she prescribed got push back from the other doctors, I can say I felt measurably better within a day or two of seeing her. Even some of the supplements other doctors warned me against still had a measurably positive side effect, and for that I was grateful. Keep in mind, it wasn't an overnight cure. Both Dr. Teray and the other doctors said it would be at least six months before I would begin to feel normal again. She did however help measurably and for that I am very thankful.

Dr. Teray's office, to me, is the definition of a safe space. I've dealt with issues of depression…read moreand anxiety for as far back as I can remember. I've been on medication, I've seen general practitioners, I've seen my fair share of psychiatrists and therapists, I've read plenty of self-help books--you get the idea. But these things never worked out for me. A couple years ago, seemingly by magic, I was in a great place, had things under control, and was very happy with my life. And for some reason, that stopped, and I was no longer happy, and I couldn't for the life of me figure out what I was doing differently. Things started to get really bad, and my life felt like it was falling apart--my job and my relationship began to suffer because of this and I knew I had to do something. I decided to give Berkeley Naturopathic Medical Group a call, without a specific doctor in mind. When I told the receptionist that I was looking for help with anxiety and depression, she stopped me mid-sentence and said "You should see Dr. Teray. She's amazing. She just left our group to start her own practice. Here is her contact information." Dr. Teray and I started with a phone consultation, where she asked me some questions about my goals and so forth, what I was looking for and why it was important to me, to see if we would even be a good fit. I liked this, because the truth is that N.D. care can be expensive, and I appreciated the opportunity to feel out the connection before making a commitment. I was really struck by the way she worded some of her questions--for example, "Why is being happy important to you?"--which really required me to think about my answers. I decided to sign up with her for 12 sessions, which we completed over about 8 months. The original idea was 6 months--a session every other week--but as we neared the end we decided to push some appointments out based on my progress. It's amazing to me to think back on where I was when I started with her, and how far I've come with her help. We did a blood panel and she prescribed me some supplements and vitamins which I still take today. I cannot believe how much they help me. Our sessions felt similar to therapy, but more proactive, and with a more holistic approach to mind, body, and spiritual well being. I am so, so, so grateful to Dr. Teray for helping me remember how to be happy again. I definitely benefited from all 12 sessions. I wasn't expecting an overnight miracle cure; these are issues I've battled for well over a decade, and they needed to be handled with tact and some delicacy. Dr. Teray did just that. She did not expect me to upturn my life and make immediate radical changes; our pace was perfect, gave me time to incorporate and practice new strategies into my day-to-day, and I now feel well equipped to handle what comes my way. And, if it happens that I find myself needing a little extra help, I know exactly who I'll call.
