Teresa's right, I don't just go around saying people are fabulous. That's why places that don't get…read more5 stars and just 4 stars shouldn't be offended. That's just how I am. But Laurie's amazing! She was recommended to me by Michelle Graves (who is also amazing) when Michelle was on leave. I never thought about this until I read someone else's review but Laurie really is a wonderful listener with a calming presence. I've had a lot of stress in my life in the past from work and a car accident. Seeing Laurie improves my pain level and overall health. But I always leave Laurie's office much more relaxed and less stressed - I think in part it's her presence in addition to her skills as an acupuncturist. She takes care of muscle spasms, allerigies, insomnia, stress to just name a few. Like Teresa said, she will also offer suggestions for herbal remedies (even via email) and never pushes a sell which I've experienced before. I'm torn between Laurie and Michelle because both are the best. Bonus is Laurie has night hours. I do miss her Saturday hours though because it was nice to have the option to not cram in a session during the work week. She also accepts Blue Cross PPO.

I have been seeing Laurie for the past ~7 months. She has been a tremendous help and a very…read moreimportant part of my journey to get pregnant. What I appreciate most is her truly holistic approach - mind, body and spirit. She's an acupuncturist and psychiatrist for me; using all physical and on-physical information to assess my condition. Laurie is compassionate, knowledgeable, accessible and kind! She is a gem.

My goals upon entering the program were to have a healthy lifestyle overall -- making wise…read moredecisions rather than impulsive ones regarding relationships, food habits, etc. I strived to be consistent and committed, rather than giving up half way through or latching onto fads (as opposed to making plans & goals that are long term and lasting). Emily was there every step of the way keeping me accountable and aware of myself and decisions. She helped me get to the root of things that were occurring, rather than just helping me with the circumstance (which ended up helping solve way more issues in the long run). She helped me make plans and attainable goals that lead me to the outcome I was seeking. She helped me discover really what I was feeling and the 'why' behind the feeling. She also helped me become consistent with my meal regiments, lending knowledge about food, cravings, suggesting meals, and plans to take my natural supplements in a way that I could continually keep up with it. I would honestly recommend Emily as a coach to everyone. She is attentive, consistent, diligent, extremely passionate about what she does and who she works with, and a genuine person who cares so much about people and is committed to learning exactly where they are at so can they have the best possible outcome that is unique to them.

I loved Emily's diverse offerings and approach to our sessions. She brought fun surveys and quizzes that help you think more intuitively about yourself, which I loved. I would basically describe her as an angel! In addition to her amazing listening and nonjudgmental approach, she is simply a joy to work with. She is always professional, timely, funny, and she fundamentally cares about helping her clients. My top three goals entering this program were to create a more balanced lifestyle, lose weight, and find a committed workout regime. The biggest change I have seen since working with Emily has been my ability to make better choices holistically. I've learned to listen to myself more than I did before. My goal has never been perfection however, I truly wanted to become more cognizant of my decisions when it comes to lifestyle, food, exercise, etc and just what makes ME feel good. Emily will only make you feel better-- never worse!

I'd be eating a lot of doughnuts and drinking buckets of good coffee. 4.) I needed to find a quality trainer post haste. Fortunately, I found Janan through a mutual friend, and I couldn't be more pleased with the results. She provides a rare combination of fitness knowledge, experience and nutritional guidance -- all in the convenice of a private, well-equipped gym. And after an initial consultation, we created an individualized plan to improve strength and overall fitness...as well as combat my not-so-great eating habits. As a former athlete, I've worked with several top coaches and trainers (and some crappy ones, too). I know what works and what doesn't. Janan is the real deal and I highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a trainer who can accommodate a broad range of clients with a sustainable, personal approach to fitness through diet and exercise.

I got a personal trainer. With two little ones, I decided it's time I get healthier. But, what do I know about fitness?! From day 1 - I was put at ease by Nick. He met with me, talked to me about my goals and discussed what sort of options were available to me. He never once made me feel like it was a hard sell - more, he was here to answer my questions and encourage me. Most importantly, he assured me that this wasn't going to be something that was going to drive me away. The team was going to work with me at my pace. I decided I'd go three mornings a week - totally crazy, right?! Now, I work with Vince three early mornings a week. Vince is awesome! He's fun to work with, super knowledgeable - always taking the time to explain things to me. And, most importantly, he's encouraging. I'm nowhere NEAR as advanced as some of the people I see, but Vince makes me feel like I have a place there. Just a few months ago, I would have NEVER thought you'd EVER find me in a gym. Now, I look forward to going!
