    Front desk/reception - most well organized herb library I've ever seen
    Jocelyn F.

    I'm in town from San Francisco for two weeks of partner acrobatics training at Pitch Catch Circus, but wanted to see an acupuncturist for my neck/shoulder pain so that I could be in tip top shape. After Day 1 of training, my acro partner and I were able to see Daniel Gonzalez regarding our issues. Daniel and Tony who was at the front desk that day were very accommodating in seeing us even though we were 20 min late for our appointments (it was at the end of the day). Daniel used dry needling technique and was able to pin point the origin of the issue with not only the neck/shoulder but wrist pain on my right side, which came from some major knots in the forearm. I felt soreness the day after but much more open while training. After Day 2-3 of training, I noticed my calves were incredibly tight despite doing body work with Yoga Tuneup balls... including rolling and sustained compression during breaks. On the afternoon of Day 3 of training, I rolled my ankle (not major but enough to prevent me from training the rest of the day). Of course I called the clinic to see if Daniel would be available to see me that afternoon. Before I even mentioned anything about my calves, Daniel said on the phone well, depending on the severity of the swelling on the ankle he may or may not use needles there but often the origin on the issue is upstream like in the calves. So during the second session, after releasing the ridiculous amount of knots in my calves, Daniel offered a pro bono session during the weekend to follow up. I am here on a Sat afternoon writing this review onsite. Because of my rolled ankle on the left side, my right quad became really tight from using it more during the last two days of training. I am so so grateful to have found the Alternative Clinic and stumbled upon Daniel! I highly highly recommend this clinic!

I've heard from friends that many naturopaths are also comfortable with traditional "western" medicine and will treat you using techniques and methods that incorporate a wide range of approaches. From supplements to antibiotics, you're covered. Dr. Leslie Meyers was thoughtful, thorough, and easy to talk to. She took time to answer all of my questions, and even took time to call me on the phone in between office visits and talk about my symptoms. When she thought we needed a second opinion, she referred me to a urologist. The only thing I'm not thrilled with is the delay in response to phone messages / emails to the receptionist., but I'm glad I chose this office and I'd recommend it to all of my friends.

I signed up for the program and was immediately surrounded by support in my healing journey. They helped me discover what was causing my physical pain and gave me the tools I needed to heal. Now I can continue using these tools to stay healthy even after the program has ended. I also benefited from the therapy sessions that helped me to heal through the depression I was going through after the storm. I am so thankful I found them. 6 months later I feel incredible and have a better understanding of my body and what it needs to stay strong and healthy.

    I had insomnia for over two years. In those two years, I mostly believed the lack of sleep was…read moreanxiety related, but then other symptoms started to appear too -night sweats, a burning in my neck, etc. I thought once I worked on the anxiety, the symptoms would disappear and my sleep would improve, but despite so much attention to my mental health, nothing seemed to change. I woke up between 4 and 4:30 for months and became very familiar with just laying in the dark waiting for the day to start. If you have insomnia, you feel like a zombie. Everything good in life has a bit of a gray cloud over it when you can't sleep. Jobs, relationships, friendships, everything feels like too much energy when you can't sleep and yet somehow you have to show up for them (or at the minimum your job). I did a full work up, all the way to a CT scan of almost my whole body with my doctor at Kaiser, mostly for the sweating. They couldn't find anything wrong with me. Homeopathic doctors, Chinese herbs, hypnosis, it felt like nothing worked. A friend who had insomnia told me about Dr. Stella, and one frustrated day I reached out to her and booked my first appointment. I now wake up at my alarm :) on weekend, I sleep in. It is still not perfect, but a huge, HUGE improvement from waking up at 4:30 for months and months. What I like about Dr. Stella is that it feels like a partnership. She prescribed homeopathic medicine which helped a lot, but a lot of it was on my lifestyle-I had to improve my diet, sleep habits, take supplements, etc. Overall, it has been a really healing experience. It helps that Dr. Stella feels compassionate and also is good at explaining things-as a science-lover, this was great for me and I looked for ways to further support my healing once I understood the mechanics of what was going on. I am a fan now and would very much recommend her to my family and friends (and already have).

It was deeply healing and effective for shifting me out of an inflammatory state and made me more aware of the energetic and emotional issues that are stored in the body. I felt a huge release of stuck emotions after our session and continued to deepen with it all as the days went on, finding more and more healing and feelings of wellbeing. Stella powerfully held the space for my healing and she is a very gifted medical intuitive.

    I saw Aiyana Holistic Healing & Massage in a Groupon and it had been at least a year since my last…read moremassage so I figured I would give it a try. I am happy I did. Lauren was welcoming and very easy to speak to. She greeted me with a smile and we both sat down to discuss any issues I was having. She was accommodating with questions regarding the temperature of the room/table as well as pressure. I recommend her to anyone wanting a positive experience for relaxation and de-stressing. Note: I could have saved myself an embarrassing phone call requesting directions if I had read the profile a little more carefully. Suite S is what you're looking for.

    I initially met with Lauren for an intuitive massage, which was fabulous. After finishing the…read moremassage, Lauren mentioned she received a lot of information and asked if I was willing to hear it. I told her I was, and boy did she blow me away. She brought up some of my soul misalignments which I was aware of, and connected them to some I was not aware of. I had been blocked in several areas of my life, and Lauren help to shed light on these areas. I quickly signed up for a 2 month life-coach program, which I have since renewed for an additional 3 months. Lauren is a life-coach/mentor/spiritual healer all wrapped into one. I have worked with other spiritual healers and Lauren is very different, in that she is mostly there to provide support for my soul while I do the work. She does some energy healing/clearing/chakra balancing, but only after her clients do their own work for several months. She does not "fix" her clients, she simply guides, supports and holds space. She has generated wonderful practitioner/client boundaries, and is still available whenever needed. Lauren is advanced in her practices and it did take me a month or two to get fully settled into the program, and understand her guidance. Now that I am fully comfortable, I am really enjoying the work and have experienced major shifts. Lauren combines the perfect amount of tough love and soft love, and provides a gentle kick in the pants when necessary. It is important to keep in mind you must be willing to do the work when working with Lauren. You will not be "fixed" or "healed", you will be doing it yourself, which is makes everything even more gratifying. I highly recommend Lauren for spiritual work and life coaching.
