New York City Nutrition (formerly Lorraine Kearney nutrition) is incredible. Seeing Lorraine has…read moreCHANGED MY LIFE. I started seeing Lorraine last year because I wanted to learn how to eat a properly portioned/nutritious meal. I am an extremely picky eater and don't really care for meat so for me, most meals usually meant 85% carbs. Through my time with Lorraine over the past few months, I have learned a great deal about what makes up a well-balanced meal and in return, I have lost close to 15 pounds....and I'm just getting started! Lorraine is INCREDIBLY smart, non-judgemental, empathetic, realistic, relatable and I truly feel like she has become a friend over the past few months. She is so easy to talk to and encouraging. She understands people live life and sometimes that means eating pizza or drinking...her approach is a realistic one in that she is helping me learn what makes my body feel good, and is that pizza really worth it? If it is, have one slice instead of two. Lorraine minored in psychology so she really understands how what's going on in our head can impact our eating decisions (here's where the non-judgemental piece comes in). The knowledge she has shared with me has had a profound impact on my life and I truly believe seeing Lorraine has changed the trajectory of my life for the better. I am so grateful for everything Lorraine has done for me and continues to do for me on a weekly basis. I highly recommend her if you're struggling with any health conditions, are looking to lose weight or just want to learn more about food and how you should be eating to make your body feel its best. Thank you, Lorraine!!!!!

I have been on a health journey for the past few years, but decided to see Lorraine as my…read morenutritionist because I was getting tired of the same routine and falling into extreme eating habits. I have been with Lorraine for almost a month now and can safely say that she has completely changed my life and point of view on food. She provides such a comfortable and safe environment to talk about not just food, but my cognitive and mental outlook on my life. Upon my consultation, she made sure to note all aspects of my health and past eating habits, and created a delicious customized meal plan based on my preferences, as I am primarily plant based. These plans also integrate meal prep into them, which has reduced my snacking tendencies, as I can just grab my prepped meals from the fridge. I have fallen in love with cooking at home again and get excited about each meal as they are all so diverse and completely satiate me. It's crazy how quickly my taste preferences have changed and crave her recipes. The 3-month plan I opted for includes weekly check-ins, where Lorraine doesn't mention calories or weight every time, but more of how I am feeling mentally based on the foods I am eating. She is also sure to educate me on certain foods to avoid or gravitate towards which can positively affect my lifestyle. I look forward to seeing her each week because she celebrates every small victory with me. I could not recommend anyone else- thank you Lorraine!!!

I saw Nikki in 2011 and it was life changing. Working with her, I learned I was lactose intolerant…read moreand received a great education on the importance of having a customized nutrition plan to meet my body's specific needs. Nine years later, I reached out again in Feb 2020 to reset after a couple of years of deprioritizing my health. Seeing Nikki again was like riding a bike - she was as warm, understanding, and supportive as ever. She created a very thorough shopping list with a ton of new brands and delicious recipe options that I wouldn't have known otherwise. Nikki made food shopping and cooking FUN because I could feel and taste the difference of what I was putting in my body. And all super easy to find and make!! Fast forward to COVID-19. I was lucky enough to start doing the work a month before the world changed. By then, I was already used to making better food choices for me and having Nikki by my side. While a lot of people were eating through their anxieties, Nikki's support helped me have the semblance of agency by making the most nourishing and simple meals. While I don't weigh myself, I'm definitely thinner and my clothes fit looser. And I feel amazing all around. More than that, Nikki's guidance is holistic. She not only focuses on the food, but also the mental and emotional. Nikki probes deep to help me get in touch with my feelings and then releasing them. She is the real deal and an amazing cheerleader - during the good and the bad! Now getting down to business. Nikki is super responsive (almost at lightning speed) and she's cost conscious. There's a stigma about eating healthy being expensive, but Nikki finds you options and promo codes galore. Seeing her is an investment in your health, and you learn how to maximize it! Call her. Right now. You'll gain a better appreciation for your health and strength, as well as a true friend and champion.

I worked with Molly on two separate occasions. We did six months back in 2014-2015 and recently did…read morea year together. I needed to reconnect with Molly after a nasty bout with covid back in January 2021. After getting sick with a complicated virus such as covid, I was truly blessed to start a new health journey with Molly. Molly not only sees the value of nutrition, but also the mental and spiritual aspects of health. She will recommend: books, films, and self-care practices that will get you feeling right again. She got me to start eating dairy-free again; this was huge for me. Also, she got me to start eating more plant based again as well! This time it was actually easier than anticipated. I now eat basically 90% plant based and some days have no meat at all. I really feel stronger and my performance has been better at the gym as well. Another thing is, Molly understands the importance of boundaries and being a bit selfish about your health and self care at times! Her simple tips go a long way, and if you utilize all these small tips they will yield results and pay dividends. Molly is so positive and encouraging as well. Whether you are eating the rainbow of fruits and veggies or smashing workout records, she is always happy to hear the good news! She will cheer you on through your journey and be right by your side. I truly love her as a person and health coach. I really could not have achieved everything that I had in the past several years without her help. If you need a nutritionist definitely use Molly, you will not regret it.

Love Dr. Molly! She's helped me sooo much since August 2019. It's definitely been a journey. I've…read morelearned how to listen to what my body needs without restrictions. I've naturally learned how to cut back on or eliminate things my body just doesn't respond well to. I've never been one to "enjoy" salads. It's taken me years to get here, but now I just throw in what I want, even if it's just a few ingredients, and my body thanks me for it. Not only that, Molly has taught me how emotions fuel my body, and not in an intellectual way. It's really about leading with intuition, and that's something that develops over time. My skin has never been clearer! Previously, I'd try different products that would work for a time, and then it'd be back with the breakouts. It's taken some time to get to the point where I am now, but overall, I'm so happy. There's still work to go, but I never thought I'd see the day where I'd go an entire month without one new pimple. Since quarantine, I've lost weight without even trying (and still ordering Seamless), and my face doesn't seem gaunt, which has been in an issue in the past. It just feels like this is how my body is supposed to look now, but I'm still open to the journey and feeling good where I'm at. There are so many breakthroughs that I've had under Dr. Molly's care, it's wild! I've confronted issues with family and friends in loving ways and I treat myself with more kindness. Everything is truly connected. I now know I can never live without Ezekiel bread ... like ever! LOL Thank you Dr. Molly for all of your help and guidance!! If you've ever struggled with eating or just need more direction and clarity, get her on the line or send an email - you will truly thank yourself!

I initially found Kristin because she was in my health insurance network, and close to where I…read morelived. I had discovered acupuncture a few years prior, when I had been hit by a car and acupuncture was part of the covered treatment. In the 10 years I have been getting acupuncture and body work in NYC, I can unequivocally say that Kristin is the most gifted healer I have been to. She was very thorough in her assessment of my conditions, and every visit is comprehensive, no matter how sick or well I am. I have been to several acupuncturists who give a very "out of the box" set of points and not much discussion. Kristin goes beyond surface level presentation of my injuries/issues and takes the time to discuss other aspects of my health that may be contributing, namely nutrition and exercise. Her touch is very healing and she has the ability to precisely target points in a powerful way. Additionally, she is vibrant, friendly, empathetic and easy to talk to--all the qualities you'd hope for in a healthcare provider. Her practice is situated in a comprehensive chiropractic and physical therapy office, so it is easy to get multiple complimentary treatments if needed. I have made many personal referrals to Kristin, and all have found her to be excellent.

There is not enough I can say about Kristin Misik. Introduced to me about 6 months ago at 43rd…read moreStreet Physical Medicine & Rehab. First, there is no beating Kristin's sunny disposition. She makes you feel better just by her smile and her words of confidence. I am afraid of needles, but she talked to me and asked me to breathe in and out. She reassured me by letting me know that if one needle hurt, that would be it, she wouldn't pressure me in any way to continue with the therapy. LOL. Now I can't wait until she puts that one needle in my forehead (OH THAT'S THE STRESS RELIEVER) that puts me to sleep before she reaches the door. I didn't know if acupuncture would work for me, but it has. Relieving the pressure I feel on my knees and absolutely the best for relieving my stress. Kristin is an absolute sweetheart. She is calm, professional and supportive. I am now using acupuncture to relieve my tendonitis in my elbow. I kind of look like a human pin cushion now during my treatments. Me! the girl who is afraid of needles. LOL. Give acupuncture a try, but most of all, try with Kristin! You won't regret it!

Renata is by far the best trainer I have ever worked with. She pushes me without being a drill…read moresergeant - I have achieved goals with her that I honestly never thought I could have. She gets what it's like to train a working mom, who has little time but a real desire to get stronger, so every workout is intense without being punishing. She's super creative - I've been working with her for years and have never had the same workout twice. She consistently tailors the workout to my goals; as my goals change, she's totally cool with that and adjusts. Renata intuitively understands when I need a more gentle workout or when I have it inside me to give 120% more than I thought. She is beyond professional - always on time, and flexible when I ask. I don't write Yelp reviews, but Renata is exemplary. She's honest, motivating and inspiring. Honestly, she's a lovely person and a very talented trainer. If you're even thinking about training, contact her!

I never felt nervous and he made me feel very comfortable. Yes, it's freezing. It's COLD COLD COLD. But I felt pretty good after. The three minutes went by rather quickly. I did have more range of motion and I did run a bit cooler which is nice in the summer weather. Why 4 as opposed to 5 stars? They also have infrared therapy. It would have been cool if they offered 15 min in the infrared sauna as well. I think that would have given them an edge. But in New York you have to pay for EVERYTHING. I get it, won't knock the hustle.

Everyone I interacted with was incredibly kind, attentive, and made me feel completely comfortable throughout the entire process. The facility itself is clean, well-maintained, and clearly held to a high standard. It's obvious the team takes real pride in what they do. Out of all the clinics I've researched or visited in the city, this one stands out as the best -- the combination of expertise, care, and genuine warmth from the staff is hard to find elsewhere. I'd highly recommend Therapy NYC to anyone looking for a top-notch, professional colonic clinic in NYC. Five stars +++ all around!

Best Colonics Ever!…read more I've been getting colonics for over 20 years, and the best have been from Cassie Karopkin. I've been seeing her for about 10 years now. Cassie has a deep knowledge of the digestive system, vegan diet, and overall wellness. Her Chelsea studio is comfortable, clean, and peaceful. I've recommended many friends who are new to colon therapy, and they always feel at ease with Cassie's warm, friendly approach. She's genuinely curious about mind-body wellness herself and loves sharing her favorite podcasts, health books, vegan spots and wellness travel experiences, in case her clients want to explore those areas of interest too. The sense of community she creates -- sharing a lifestyle that nourishes mind, body, and spirit -- is what Cassie exudes, and it's contagious. I highly suggest you book a consultation with Cassie, have a chat about the benefits of colon therapy ,get a recommendation for her favorite vegan spots or possibly your next wellness adventure vacation spot and get hooked on your next best addiction! It's what happened to me and my partner Germain. Your body will thank you. No doubt in my mind , Colonics are the best health, wellness and youth serum secret!

We didn't really connect on an emotional/psychological level and her hyper rational approach didn't always work for me. Having someone to be accountable to is always helpful, but I didn't feel like I was getting much insight beyond what I've read in books or online. What really tripped me up was her cancellation policy. I had to pre-pay for my time with her and when we weren't connecting and I didn't think I had much more to learn from her, I still had to pay for the two months of sessions I no longer wanted to attend. It's her policy and that's fine, it just really didn't work out for me and I would have loved some recourse for the situation I found myself in.

It wasn't until I met Lisa that I really began to understand what was at the core of my struggle. She taught me how to become aware of my behaviors and to recognize where they were stemming from. How to focus on what it was that my body and mind really needed. How to make food meaningful to myself again. She helped me face my triggers, structure my day so I satisfied my body when I needed it, and appreciate my mind and body for what they are. She taught me that food cannot make me happy. I'm the only one who can make myself happy. We have just finished working together after a year and a half. She has helped me achieve my weight loss goal, which I had thought was impossible, and maintain the weight. She has provided me with all of the tools necessary to progress with my weight loss journey and continue to build a positive relationship with food. Thank you Lisa from the bottom of my heart.

If you value your time & sanity I would recommend you not come here !…read moreI rarely write reviews but I feel that sharing my experience of Ny Nutrition Group can help someone else avoid stress. Since I saw so many positive reviews I thought I made a good choice but wow was I wrong ! I went to Ny Nutrition group because I needed help with learning to eat healthy again .I looked through their website and read through all the services. Quoted from the site " the dietitian will design a customized and personalized nutrition plan and meal plan service that fits your unique needs and goals. This can include a structured menu, goal setting, shopping list, recipes, exercise tips, supplement recommendations'' photos will be attached. It looked good so I reached out and booked a session with them.My intention was to get a customized meal plan I could follow. I don't know what to eat, proper portions, and that is why I wanted a meal plan. Quick update: I just checked their website & since my talk with the owner Lisa, they changed it. Luckly I screenshot their website before the change, attached will be the one I saw originally & the 2nd one is the one they updated these last few days Oct 5- 1st session with dietitian Stephany. After sharing my history, goals, struggles, etc., she pulled up some recipes from the internet that looked good. I asked if I will be getting a shopping list with my meal plan . She said she usually expects her clients to do that. After some back and fourth I stated that I could have just found my own recipes online and not come to a nutritionist if that was the case. She seemed annoyed and stated fine she'll do that for me. Oct 6 - I emailed Ny nutrition group & told them even though Stephanys a nice person I did not want to continue to work with her. Among the reasons, I didn't like feeling like I was forcing her to do something she did not want to do, create meal plans & shopping list. I went there specifically for a detailed meal plan with shopping list. I spoke with Ny Nutrition & I explained my needs again. I asked if that would be a problem. Once I clarified the help I was looking for they recommended others who would be a better fit for me. (images of emails will be attached) I booked a session with Kylie Gearhart MS, RD-AP, CDN, CNSC for Oct 28 Oct 28 - I met with Kylie Gearhart that evening. During our hour session I again shared history, goals, struggles etc, we discussed food options, what are my food preferences etc, I asked about the meal plans/ shopping list , I stated I wanted a week - long meal plan She told me she did not provide meal plans or shopping lists. I frustratedly told her that is why I was there. She told me that was not part of her job and that they do not pay her to go home and write nutrition plans etc . I snapped back and said that it was literally mentioned on the website as services provided. She pulled up the website because she thought she was going to prove me wrong. Instead she said "oh huh it does say that, well I'm going to talk to them about it''. She begrudgingly agrees to create one for me and added that because she was going away for the weekend, she would try and get it done before she leaves. Kylie Gearhart made it seem like she was doing me a favor, but how!? Thats what I thought I was paying for . I was stunned by her unprofessional behavior. If I had been told that they do not provide this, I would not have wasted my time with another session (It takes me two hours of travel time roundtrip each session). However, I communicated my needs via email and was given the green light, so I was confused and frustrated by the fact that I had to argue about their services. Oct- 29 The following day I got 3 calls back-to-back . When I checked my messages, it was Lisa Moskovitz the owner she left 2 voicemails She explained that she was calling about my session yesterday, and that she wanted to make sure we are all on the same page and wanted to discuss my request. Her 2nd message stated that she wants to know what my needs are because they are unclear This left me stunned.. I communicated my needs with them 3 times already ! When I was able to call Lisa back she states she wants to know what it was I was looking for, what were my needs.She then goes on to tell me what Kylie told her. Then instead of allowing me again to say what my needs were, she goes on to tell me that what I am looking for they don't provide. Then she states that the services I am looking for they do provide but actually cost more money. Once I realized she wasn't really calling me to ask me anything, she was just trying to put me in my place (!?) I got angry and started crying out of frustration. I told her I would call her back. This felt unreal, how was there an issue if all I went to them for was what it stated on their website. Their behavior made me question if I was wrong. Was I being difficult? Was I being unreasonable? Was it me being a pain in the a**? review continued in pic

I've been seeing Sammi for a few months now. I am a certified fitness instructor who (believe it or…read morenot) seriously struggles with balancing nutrition. In just a few months, Sammi has completely helped me change my eating habits for the better. I have a much larger and more accurate understanding of what type of foods will help me receive nutrients, feel full, and help me function better throughout my busy schedule - all while working to reach and maintain a body that I feel happy and confident in. Not to mention, I don't feel restricted from ANY food! I now eat more mindfully than ever before. I would recommend Sammi to ANYONE - no matter what your experience with eating habits have been or what your goals are. She is incredibly knowledgeable of the work in her field, and she is able to apply her knowledge to your personal needs and wants with so much patience and understanding. Thank you, Sammi!

I saw Sammi for four sessions over one month. I paid a lot of money to essentially be told how…read moremany calories to eat a day. During these sessions, Sammi did provide some guidance on how to break up eating through the day and ideas for what to eat, but nothing was unique or, frankly, worked. During our 45 minute sessions (which were not cheap), I felt she was continually looking at the clock, and between sessions we had no interaction -- she didn't check in to see how I was progressing. Ultimately, I didn't feel Sammi was the appropriate fit for me stylistically, nor did her strategy work for me. Results are what count. I have seen another nutritionist in NYC -- Arianna Hundt -- who was much more hands on in her approach, and I feel her eating and exercise plan worked for me.
