I started working with Stella at a time when I had been successfully counting calories for years,…read morebut knew that I was on the brink of stopping. Her idea of being able to be free of those confines (no matter how much comfort it gave me) was intriguing and refreshing. Working together, she helped me establish a framework for myself that I could use to make the healthiest decisions regarding food while still allowing me the indulgences that I craved. It took me a little while to put "everything in moderation" into practice effectively, but with her help it finally sunk in. Stella also challenged me to expand my horizons regarding what I ate, taught me how to make bread, and helped me find the confidence to experiment with my cooking. Now I bake my own bread and my own sweet treats, and I cook with greater confidence. My kitchen, instead of being a place that is just there, or something to dread, is a place where I find pleasure, and sometimes *gasp* even fun! I didn't think that was even in the realm of possibility for me. When I stopped working with Stella, I had the tools necessary to be self-sufficient in my eating choices. I still often find myself referring to the structures and support Stella helped me develop, or even hear her dropping little pearls of wisdom. She has had a long-lasting impact on my relationship with food and I now have the ability to keep evolving on my own.

I've been working with Stella now for almost a year. It's been such a positive and fulfilling…read moreexperience. I've learned to empower myself and approach lifestyle changes with my nutrition and fitness while balancing motivation and effort. So often in the past I struggled to stay consistent because I would get easily overwhelmed. Stella has a warm and wonderful approach to meeting me where I am and helping me do the next indicated step so that I don't get overwhelmed. I cook healthy meals regularly for myself now and almost prefer that to eating out. I also am diving back into endurance races and taking on other things I would have felt were too far out of reach before. I deeply appreciate Stella's 1-on-1 style that feels very personal to me. I believe she truly cares and is cheering me on as I cross those finish lines and onto the next. I'd recommend Stella to anyone who's looking to ACTUALLY transform their lives and use simple nuts-and-bolts/doable steps to get there. It's working for me...that's why I keep Stella in my close "Board of Directors" - helping me cultivate a life beyond my wildest dreams. Thank you!

I have nothing but great things to say about Natalie!…read more I have bounced back and forth between binge eating and extreme dieting for most of my adult life. When I found Natalie, I had just come off a round of extreme dieting and was looking for a more balanced look at nutrition. I had heard of Intuitive Eating in the past but had sort of dismissed it because as I told Natalie on our first call: "Clearly, your intuition is telling me to eat different things than my intuition." I worked with Natalie for about 6 months and I can say for a fact that the person I was when I met her and the person I am now are two completely different people (in the best way). I'm still a work in progress and probably always will be, but I can say with absolute certainty that I'm a better version of myself than before I met Natalie. If you have been struggling with food, if you've never experienced a life where food didn't rule you in one way or another and are reading this, I highly encourage you to reach out to Natalie. She is the most non-judgmental of humans and you will immediately feel at ease in her (virtual) presence.

She is empathetic, offers great advice and is very knowledgeable in her field. I'm not a very outgoing, wear my heart on my sleeve type of person but she makes it very easy to dive into the vulnerable places that need to be brought to light. She was placed in my path at a perfect time, to help me learn more about myself, uncover the areas where I am holding myself back and unblock me from living a life full of passion and purpose. For awhile, deep down that I was longing for something different but didn't know how to get there and Meredith is the perfect person to help guide you along your journey to listen to those inner voices and has made me feel like I am becoming a better, more free and true version of myself.

After our session Amanda sent me her notes which included the top three actionable steps we spoke about that I could apply immediately to my life.

They are now part of (and will stay part of) my regular practice. She also has a wealth of knowledge when it comes to nutritional changes one can make that will help meet your mental/physical health goals which I also appreciate. It's definitely worth your time to check out a session with Amanda.

Would give more stars if I could. This story starts over 2 years ago when I suffered a herniated…read moredisc that led to severe foot drop, knee pain, and constant back pain. My initial experience with physical therapy left me feeling pretty hopeless that I would ever return to anything close to "normal." Running again--or feeling athletic at all--felt out of reach. When I walked into Tangelo, it was mostly because my back pain flared up after trying to get back into the gym and lose weight after so much inactivity. What stood out immediately was that even with my MRI results in hand, Dr. Mike still took the time to listen. I made it clear my goals were bigger than just pain relief--I wanted to run races again and get back to the level of athleticism I had as a college football player. Instead of a generic, one-size-fits-all plan, I got a thoughtful, progressive approach that actually aligned with those goals. We didn't just treat symptoms--we built strength, stability, and confidence step by step. Working with Lawrence was always impactful, as we focused on movements specific to running and my injury. For the first time since the injury, I felt like I was truly moving forward instead of just managing setbacks. Fast forward to now--I'm running races again and have set both a 10K and half marathon PR. That didn't feel possible not long ago. The entire staff created an environment that made you want to show up--great energy, great music, and always a warm welcome. If you're dealing with pain, setbacks, or feel like your goals are being dismissed, Tangelo is different. They don't just get you out of pain--they help you get back to doing what you actually care about.

Kat Allen and the Four Aims Center has been so important to me and to my family…read more The Four Aims Center is really a multi-faceted sanctuary tucked next to a corner of the green Lincoln Park in West Seattle, easily accessible from Fauntleroy Avenue and all parts of Seattle. The center that Kat has built is professional but very personal and warm. It invites quiet, open, discussion and revelation. The practice benefits from the environment of the building and the neighborhood. Kat's guidance and wisdom and her quiet calm approach, benefitting both mind and body, is the reason that I am writing. Kat has the life experience to understand and help uncover layers of the daily struggle we all encounter, the depth to understand and guide through personal and family of origin explorations, personal history, and the breadth to help individuals, couples, and families. She does not judge, she guides, sometimes simply listening, often reflecting. Her repertoire includes deep personal investigation and teaching experience in yoga, meditation and mindfulness, and spiritual exploration as well as traditional counseling and therapy. Kat is incredibly knowledgeable about the standard experts in psychology and therapy wile also offering a broad approach and the ability to reach for the seasoned experiences of meditative and spiritual masters. The Four Aims Center is a unique environment to unfold personal questions and explorations in a peaceful and trusting setting. If you are exploring yourself and your life and looking for guidance I highly recommend you have a conversation with Kat Allen.

Dr. Jeana Kimball had only been a Naturopath 7 years when I became her patient in 1999 at her old…read moreWest Seattle clinic. The digs were very earthy and bohemian but clean. That was the first time I had visited a naturopath. I was in my late 30's and was a victim of conventional medicine and my health was starting to be a mess. My regular doctor wouldn't even rx me thyroid medication even though my TSH was 7! Dr. Kimball was able to quickly synthesize my medical history and issues through her keen grasp of the natural approach and give me tips for things I could put into practice immediately. I started feeling better and was curious to learn more on my own. Within a couple of years I met my husband and moved out of state, but found a new naturopath to continue with (to this day). The more I learn, the more I can appreciate what Dr. Kimball did for me. I will never be a victim of conventional medicine again, even though I have good insurance, a PCP and specialists. But I will always try the natural approach, have a Naturopath in my life, and research anything a conventional doctor says before taking action. I am happy to hear Dr. Kimball has a new clinic in Seattle now and is still opening people's eyes to natural medicine. She will never know the full extent of her influence and assistance to all her patients, and how those waves multiply across the world.
