Thank you Dr. Dana Michaels... I feel so much better…read more Words cannot do it justice for feeling good when I have been feeling bad for so many years. I knew something was wrong with my gut, I tried a virtual Natropathic doctor who helped me at the time but not enough and the gut problems just kept persisting. I knew I needed a good doctor who understands holistic health and the gut to understand what was going on with me specificially. Meeting Dr. Dana's was the best experience. Getting her kind-hearted guidance to do the tests and get the protocols, I FEEL BETTER!!! I literally had to hand over my health to someone else I trusted because I had failed. I'm now on day 12 of this transformation so lots more to heal but at least I feel energetic enough to play, work, and spend quality time with family. If you feel bad the rest of the world is not great. My gut biome is on the road to recovery and that means the world to me. Thank you Dr. Dana Michaels. If you are considering working with Dr. Dana do it and your health will improve but first you got to know what is going on inside your body and no ad, internet group or friend will be able to tell you that other than doing the tests and following a protocol specific to YOUR body. Still not sure? Watch "Hack Your Health" on Netflix as they talk all about the gut biome in a very entertaining way. But notice the doctors that work with the people are learning what is going on inside of them and how to fix it. Natropathic doctors are far more capable of helping you with true gut health because they believe in a holistic approach of healthy bodies.

I am a huge dog lover, (I own a rescue tripawd) but just as dog owners wish to be asked before…read morehaving people approach their pets, I didn't really wish to have to gently and continually push away Dana's dog off me. The dog was getting hair and saliva on my clothes and I didn't appreciate it. Perhaps not a big deal to the owner of the dog but not my preferred. Hard sales pitch launch immediately citing specials. I really just wanted a B12 shot. Hillpark Integrative where I usually get my shots for less was closed. Didn't really take time to hear me out on anything, jumped right in and then bounded into her specials. The dog was distracting, odd layout distracting, box of tissues I tripped over was distracting. Its cheaper to get the shots at Hillpark if that's what you are looking for.

I have great appreciation and respect for her knowledge. She is a big reason why I am such a healthy 70-year-old woman! She is great with children as well, having also cared for my two grandchildren. During these past two weeks, she has supported me in getting through an acute illness that had me exhausted with greatly diminished energy, and had symptoms that were constantly shifting to something new. With every changing circumstance, Cathleen had the needed response. I am so grateful to once again be back to my healthy, happy self. Cathleen is passionate about her profession. pursuing the latest information to stay up to date, connecting with homeopaths near and far by webinar etc. as she studies the emerging information about the COVID-19 that has encircled the globe.

She is super empathetic, one of those people who you feel like you can say anything to. She helped me regain a cycle after a year of amenorrhea through treatments and gentle lifestyle advice. I credit her with helping me get pregnant after months of trying. She is a wealth of knowledge for all things related to your well being. I highly recommend Heather Bird!

I mainly went to Heather for Carpal Tunnel/RSI but she ended up helping me with all sorts of things…read morelike cramps, motion sickness stress, and colds. I had major wrist problem and the University of Stanford Orthopedic group said they would have to operate on me. I was too scared to have an operation so I found Heather. After a week of herbs and acupuncture I was able to use my wrist again and in about month I was 99% better. I know that sound too amazing to be true, and I would think the same thing before when people told me how Chinese Medicine cured them of this or that, but my fear of surgery made me try and I'm so glad I did. And if you just want to feel good her stress treatments are amazing. I would be on cloud 9 for days. I know everyone has some stress in their lives so I highly recommend it. It's way better then any pill your therapist could prescribe you. Oh, and the cupping feels so good after sitting in front of a computer all day. See if you can try that too. :) Heather has a great personality. She's super knowledgeable, warm and friendly. She bills your insurance for you and is located in Union Square. So convenient.

East-West Natural Medicine Clinic is extremely calming, quiet, and the beds are the most comfortable beds I've ever laid upon. Leah is very friendly and organized at the front desk and she also makes the whole experience 5 stars!

I had hit my rock bottom, but was so scared to be put on medication through my psychiatrist, so with advice from my therapist, I looked into natural medicine. I was open, but slightly skeptical going into see Annie. I believe in energy work, but have never experienced her type of practice. Annie told me I should feel a lot better after 10 days, which I was holding on to because I was about to get married. Within 5-6 days, I finally felt the shift. Previous to this, I was so uncomfortable in my own body. I've been under her care now for a little over 3 weeks and I feel SO MUCH BETTER in my body. I haven't felt this balanced in such a long time. My husband, family, and friends have all noticed the difference. Thank you so much Annie for literally giving me my life back! I HIGHLY recommend her services.

Sarah has been such a perfect trainer for me! When we initially met I was nervous to admit how much…read moreI *HATE* working out, because past trainers I've met tried to talk me out of that mindset and convince me to be cheerful. Sarah immediately put me at ease and gave me kudos for showing up, and assured me I could be as grumpy as I wanted. Fast-forward about 6 months, I've been seeing Sarah 2-3 times a week. She zooms with me when I travel, gently corrects so I don't hurt myself, shows me how to stretch and helps when I tweak something...she even accommodated me when I sprained my wrist (at home, totally unrelated to working out with her, ha), and found ways for me to still get in a useful workout without putting any pressure on my wrist. In short: I still hate working out, but Sarah makes it so much more tolerable than I ever imagined. Her conversation, flexibility when life is...life, and the fact that she lets me complain openly have just been bonuses. I highly recommend working with Sarah!

She's really helped me work toward my goals of losing weight and generally getting stronger. Sarah is super knowledgeable about nutrition and helped me set goals for tracking what I eat. She's also helped me adjust my target calories number so that I can make sustainable progress. Since I've started working with Sarah, I've lost 13 pounds, my lower back pain is gone, and my muscles are the most defined they've ever been. 10/10, would recommend!

Christina is incredible! We are all so privileged to have her in our community. I've been a client…read morenow for 8 years. Here's why: first, she absolutely knows what she's doing. Second, her treatments work. No ifs ands or buts about it. They work. Pick an ailment. Over the years, I've had tennis elbow, digestive issues, lower back pain, nerve pain and a few others that I'm not recalling at the moment. She's cured & fixed everything. I'm at the height of my health thanks to her. I so grateful for her and her staff. Eastern medicine is completely different that western medicine. Western medicine is designed to medicate and creates a cycle of keeping someone on those meds because the effects of those meds create additional issues that a person has to take more meds for. Acupuncture and herbs are the opposite. Eastern medicine is designed to help the body heal itself in a natural way by opening up the energy that naturally flows within all of us. The herbs assist in that. I hope my comments are helpful. If you're thinking of trying acupuncture (or just looking for a new way to heal) then please call them. My personal experience with Thrive is phenomenal. I have a sense yours will be too. #grateful.

My mother has dementia and Christina has been wonderful about accommodating the limitations of my mom's lack of short-term memory. And she is a master at getting mom comfortable on the bed (creative use of pillows and the bed head can raise up) since my mom has some low and mid-back discomfort when lying on her back. Christina has helped calm my mother's central nervous system, which had had a positive effect on her overall wellbeing, but best of all is that her anxiety-induced tremors are greatly reduced, maybe gone! Christina not only administers the acupuncture, but is very holistic in her approach. She recommends custom-blended herbs if appropriate (if the patient is open to trying them, can always say no thanks) and really listens and offers insights and suggestions on ways to optimize one's overall wellbeing. She will review any supplements you take and offer suggestions on ones she thinks might help. She is always upbeat, sweet and is clearly passionate about her work which makes her a joy to be around. The office is a calming, beautiful space. And so well run and organized. Megan the office manager is delightful and makes it so easy to book appointments, or you can do it online. It's always nice to chat with her for a few minutes before or after the appointment. Just being in the office with Christina and Megan's positive and caring energy feels like part of the treatment!
