She helped rebuild my daughter's strength, worked carefully on alignment, and kept an eye on preventing future injury. She is stronger now than before her injury. Along the way she also helped with smaller issues that came up, like hamstring tightness, cramping, and making sure she was eating enough protein to support recovery. What stood out most, and why we traveled from San Jose to see her, was her dance expertise. She understood the specific demands dance puts on the body and has an eye for alignment and how everything works to support various movements. She was consistently supportive and kind, and knew exactly when to gently push my daughter to keep progressing. I have no doubt we'll be back for tune-ups as her dance training advances. Highly, highly recommend!

Dr. Priscilla is outstanding. I went to see her because my heel pain hadn't healed for over a year…read more She came up with a holistic program starting with reducing overall inflammation, building flexibility and balance, and adjusting gait. It took a couple of weeks before I could feel a difference, but I knew I was in the right hands. After that I had rapid progress and now I am completely pain free and back to walking 15K steps every day. Dr. Priscilla is a rare medical professional who listens well, gives her full attention and really gets to the bottom of the issue. She knows how far to push on exercises so they are beneficial yet not too uncomfortable. She really made a big difference to my quality of life. Thank you Dr. Priscilla.

I came to Bettina because of pain in my hip, which has been completely resolved. Since then she has also helped me with tennis elbow, TMJ, and pain in my shin.

And it was a huge bonus that she really understands climbing injuries!

Perspective from a new dad:…read more My wife and I hired Jenny because we felt that she understood our concerns around childbirth; while we knew we'd have great healthcare in the Bay Area, we wanted to make sure we had an advocate for our family in the delivery room (not just agents of the hospital). At first we weren't sure what kind of doula would be right for us, as we were a couple of scientists looking for an experienced hand to guide us through the process, not... hippies. With her calm and gentle demeanor, Jenny was more than accommodating during our initial meeting. Throughout our pregnancy, Jenny provided us the research behind any suggestions she made and wasn't dogmatic about any one approach. As a prospective father, Jenny listened to me and made my concerns heard, too. Of course, I played a much smaller part in the engagement, but I appreciated that I wasn't an afterthought. Jenny was very helpful in giving both of us tips and exercises to do to prepare my wife for childbirth. Where Jenny's services really shined was, of course, during the big event. We called her when my wife started feeling early contractions on a Saturday morning and into the evening (10pm) and throughout the night (2am to 4am). She was responsive to text and phone calls throughout. We went to UCSF to see how dilated my wife was, and unfortunately we found out she wasn't that far along, so we returned home to Oakland. The next morning, things were _really_ picking up. We called Jenny over and my wife's water broke on Jenny's way over. When Jenny arrived, she assessed the situation and said we should call and start heading to a hospital. Then, the hospital recommended we call 911. While I coordinated the paramedics and firefighters that were taking my laboring wife into an ambulance, Jenny was coaching my wife and helping her deal with the intensity of the surges. I would not have been able to give my wife the support she needed without Jenny's help. The paramedics didn't think imminent birth was likely at all, but Jenny trusted my wife's instincts, despite the fact that she wasn't showing the traditional contraction pattern that indicates active labor! Jenny continued to help her through the contractions from the front seat of the ambulance. Ten minutes later, as that ambulance flung open its doors at the hospital, out came our baby's head. One more push and our son was born healthy as my wife was being rolled into the Emergency Department! Jenny helped us have the most wonderful (and adventurous) birth story, and we're so thankful for her help.

Jenny was my doula for the birth of my first child and she was wonderful! To be honest, we really…read moreweren't sure what to expect (I didn't know much about doulas and was paired with her through a volunteer program at my hospital), but was with us for ~12 hours of my home labor (i.e., before I went to the hospital and was able to get pain medications) and made this phase a ton more physically comfortable and mentally manageable. To begin with, Jenny came over for a meet & greet, established expectations, and gave us some sage advice and a few handouts to stew on. She was really good about staying in touch for the last couple of months of my pregnancy, asking for updates after each of my doctor's appointments. She also wanted to know when I started going into labor, making sure that I knew to call her, especially if it was in the middle of the night. She was always super responsive by text, and she took a cab over around 4am when I did go into labor and my contractions got very painful - basically when my hospital said I wasn't far enough to come in yet, and this was a good time to focus on home labor and to call my doula if I had one. For my partner and I, who were completely inexperienced and mentally unprepared for the intensity of the contractions, Jenny was a complete godsend. She guided us in setting up several coping "stations" using various props, like pillows, our yoga ball and a hall banister, which each facilitated different stretches or poses. One thing she excelled at was tracking my contractions and managing my expectations for progress. Another was helping me manage my pain. Specifically, she leveraged her training as a massage therapist to massage my shoulders and back, do these great hip presses, and applied a TENS (electric pulse) Unit to my lower back muscles. All these things together made my last 12 hours before I could go to the hospital much more relaxed and manageable, and helped me keep my energy up for the long stretch ahead of me. Throughout the whole process, Jenny did a great job soothing our minds and my cramping muscles. I highly recommend her as a doula!

The class is for both pregnant and postpartum mamas, and Maike is currently pregnant herself. There's a lot of focus on core and pelvic floor strength, which is really important for mamas both getting ready for and recovering from birth. It's easy to think of pregnancy and motherhood as the end of your old body and active life as you know it, so it's been amazing to have this safe mothering space to go to every week, surrounded by women who are both active and also mothers. Mamas can bring their infants with them to the mat, and every class you'll see women doing yoga over their babies, sometimes holding their babies during poses, or pausing to tend to them or breastfeed if they need to. It's very Integrated and seamless, and shows me there's a third way where you don't have to choose between being an athlete and being a mama.

I cannot express how much hope the relief I've gotten from seeing Kate has given me in my 20+ years…read moreof living in chronic pain. Now I finally feel like there's a light at the end of the tunnel and I don't have to be stuck like this forever. I thought I'd tried everything in the book: every massage modality, supplements, strength training, PT, dozens of specialists and integrative medicine docs, acupuncture...etc. When a friend recommended myofascial massage, I rolled my eyes at first because I didn't believe it'd be any different. But I was so desperate for any bit of relief that I finally booked an appointment. I walked out of my first appointment with Kate with no to low neck pain. It was promising, but I was cautious. Throughout that week, I found that my pain levels stayed consistently low, whereas with other treatments and therapies, I would've been back in a full-blown flare-up by the end of the day or the next day at best. I hit 4-5 days before the tension, pain, and headaches returned -- a new record! Even though flare-ups still take weeks to correct, the trend is that overall pain is going down. It's given me hope that the rest of my body can get out of pain too. Kate is very experienced and understands how interconnected everything in your body is; she's been able to identify locked-up areas without my having to explicitly ask about it. Seeing Kate has been life changing and myofascial massage has been an effective addition to my existing pain management program (PT, acupuncture, CBT). The only downside is that Kate's availability is so limited and slots go so quickly, which makes it difficult to get consistent care. Highly recommend this practitioner!

She is always attentive, compassionate, and incredibly knowledgeable. Beyond guiding me through pregnancy, she's taught me so much about the female body, the reproductive system, and the importance of healthy, regular cycles. It somehow took me 39 years to truly appreciate what an incredible wonder the female body is--and Samantha's genuine excitement for how it works is contagious. She also introduced me to Mayan abdominal massage, a practice I continued at home. It became such a beautiful ritual, helping me stay connected to my body and bring mindful attention to my womb--what she lovingly calls "my child's palace." Every visit feels like a gift to all the senses. From the moment I arrive, I'm welcomed by the beautiful space, the soothing scents of her office and herbal potions, the warm, cozy treatment table, calming music, and a guided meditation that helps me completely relax. She always finishes the experience with a glass of water and a piece of ginger candy--a thoughtful touch that perfectly rounds out each session. I often tell Samantha that she has angel hands. With her expertly placed needles and intuitive bodywork, I find myself sinking into a deep state of relaxation and meditation. I leave every appointment smiling from ear to ear, feeling lighter, calmer, and genuinely uplifted. I recommend Samantha every chance I get, and I already look forward to my next session.
