Jo-e has done more for me than any health professional I've seen, combined…read more She's played the roles of therapist, health counselor and life coach for me all at the same time. I was in one of my cycles of depression when I saw someone recommend her in a facebook group. I've been seeing her for a year since then and my mental state and health have improved immensely. My deep depression has not come back since seeing her and when I feel myself inching back to that place I schedule a session with Jo-e and one hour later I feel like I've gotten a tune-up and more tools to use in my life. We've been working on my generalized anxiety and stress management over time. She's worked with me diligently on my health, which is what she proved was important to work on first. I had been exhausted to the point of tears for about 8-9 years with no answers on how to fix it from any doctors. One doctor told me "most women are tired". Anyway, after adding carefully selected vitamins and supplements to my schedule, changing some habits and new tools for dealing with stress and anxiety, I had relief for the first time and actually had energy. I stopped the vitamins suddenly at one point and the exhaustion came back. We've continued to work on my sinuses and digestion, as well. She knows her stuff. Jo-e also helped me establish a better foundation for my marriage and I think saved us from a lot of turbulence in the future by helping me find stability and a healthier way of expressing myself. My mom told me "I finally got back my daughter from before" and she was referring to my happy and positive self from before I was 13 years old (I'm 29 now, for reference)! Thank you for helping me be more "me", Jo-e.

5 Stars just isn't enough! Jo-e deserves more!…read more Before I met Jo-e, I seen about 3 or 4 therapist about depression, anxiety and family trauma. Those session were ok, but it was nothing like the sessions I had with Jo-e. When it comes to opening up about your personal life, it can be difficult to be vulnerable and trust someone with your life problems. From the first session I knew Jo-e was my go to personal health/life coach! I was finally comfortable opening up and expressing my personal mental health problems to someone. When it came to sessions, Jo-e always dug deep into my roots to see where exactly my problems sprouted from. Me, being a direct person, she always made sure to tell me what I NEEDED to hear not what I WANTED to hear. We started working on the food I ate and what I put into my body to fuel my soul. You wouldn't want to put cheap gas into a Ferrari would you? Exactly. I focused on eating cleaner which gave me the energy the get through my daily activities and not be so drained at the end of my day. The type of ENERGY I'm talking about it MENTAL ENERGY. I literally felt better MENTALLY, just by eating cleaner food. Food is one thing, but we also focused on being in the present. Jo-e guided me in practicing mediating, gratitude, and living my life at this very second. Not living in the past nor living in the future. She gave me the tools and exercises to work with that I would have never even thought about on my own. I started from having it all, but being miserable at the same time. I had an amazing career in the aerospace industry, but hated life. Great Job, benefits, medical insurance, stocks, everything you name it. My personal time was very limited and depression came along, so I reached out to Jo-e. I was single for the longest time, thinking love wasn't meant for me. I had a passion in Film/Photography, but was too scared to make the life changing risk. Jo-e was my quarterback to get through this depression. I practiced everything she taught me, ate most of what she recommended to me, and most of all practiced and accepted that I am enough. I'm enough for myself, others and the world. Today, I'm a freelance videographer, I live life on my own time, I having a beautiful girlfriend that I love, I eat cleaner, and my mental health is better than it has EVER, ever been before. Do I need to say more? Mic Drop....

Aaron changed my life. He is one of the greatest people I have ever met in my life. Sometimes I…read morefelt like I over-explained myself to him, but he always had a way of calming me down. One thing I really liked is that he had experienced the pain of being with a borderline personality disordered person himself, but really seemed to have healed and was really great at his own self work. He always offered me tea or water when I got there, & gave me tissues when I needed to cry, which was very much needed & appreciated. Sometimes the little things make all the difference in the world. He was able to empathize as well as encourage me to think rationally about so many situations. A master at breaking things down, he is truly the best of the best. Aaron, if you're reading this, I love you brother. Thank you so much for the support through the hardest times in my life. I'm feeling a power & energy like I've never felt. May you be blessed for years to come.

I've been seeing Aaron for over 3 years at this point, and it has been the best thing that I have…read moreever done for myself. I've seen so many therapists and psychiatrists throughout my life, and Aaron has helped me more than the rest of them combined. My quality of life has gotten better than I ever thought it could have ever gotten. COVID was an awful time for almost everyone, but I feel so incredibly lucky that I was able to work with Aaron during the hard times. I've never had a more consistent positive experience during the rough patches of life. Looking back at my life before I started seeing Aaron makes me shudder; I can't stress enough how much better my life has gotten through my work with him. I will continue to recommend him to anyone who is struggling and genuinely wants to get better.

I've had the pleasure of taking Shelly's boot camp classes at Dolores Park and can attest that it's…read moreworth setting the alarm early!

Her approach to fitness, and wellness more generally, is holistic in nature and she's always willing to give advice on diet, running, swimming, sleep patterns, etc. What I really like about Shelly is her willingness to be challenged on her ideas, and how every time she comes back with solid research proving anything she claims. Very highly recommend!

When I moved to Portland, I was well aware of 4 undeniable truths:…read more 1.) It rains all the time here. 2.) I'm not as fit as I once was. 3.) 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'm so glad I found Rachel because I was a bit worried that it might be difficult to work with someone else's work and it's probably been a bit longer than what most technicians are use to doing as "refills" since everyone has different policies. She was super easy to work with and she makes you feel comfortable right away! Her personality is sweet and calming, which translates to her lash work because I can feel how meticulous and gentle she is with her work. I'd recommend Rachel to anyone thinking of getting lashes or if you've already had lashes before. If I were to come back to Portland, I know who I'd be going to for my lashes.
