After talking to a friend who works as a trainer and taking my own goals as a running coach, I…read morethought it would be a good idea to find and team up with a nutritionist who knows exactly how to feed your body, to give it the fuel it needs, and to keep a sustainable energy flow all while expanding my knowledge for my own well being and for the benefit of my runners and future runners. Emily is amazing, she really respects that every system is diff rent, and we all run on our own individual schedules, she knows I am a running fool, and I am a long time vegetarian she worked with me and taught me all about the array of super foods and nutrients I needed to fuel my body with to assure I was giving back exactly what I was burning! I took this information to my runners and am continuing to love and respect food or "fuel" for what it is! Emily is a total recommend no matter what your story is, your sure to step back and learn a ton!

She looks over my food charts weekly and is available daily for food support and recipes and suggestions for clean power foods and supplements etc that I would not have tried otherwise. I have worked with nutritionists in the past who do the basic weekly food checks with me but Emily has a very revolutionized method that incorporates ALL aspects of good health, wellbeing, mindfulness, movement, focused exercise and nutrition all together. She provides a complete package that includes all the nutrition and food support anyone would need with expert suggestions and insights. PLUS she encourages and takes our twice-weekly meetings out into nature for power walks, mindful meditation, pilates, stretching, beach walks etc so that the coaching and food work follows me everywhere in my daily life in a truly positive and all encompassing way. It is a miraculous way to break one out of a negative mind set and turn around a life that was going the wrong way for many years. I am truly amazed at all the accomplishments so far and look forward to many more to come. Emily is also a trained pilates instructor and introduced me to trying pilates for my first time on a reformer machine which is an amazing and awesome experience I now do weekly. In the past I have only done pilates mat classes and felt intimidated to try a reformer machine because I wasn't confident in my ability to keep up with classmates and use the machine correctly and I hate not doing well at things. Emily has such a glowing and supportive spirit that it wasn't hard to agree to try this workout with her. The one on one work reformer work I have done so far is super helpful and not at all stressful since she tailors each session to my needs and current ability. I have experienced nothing but great results through her expert instruction, dynamic personality, and desire to help me in every area of my life that needed healing. I wish I could give her 20 stars! I cannot recommend her highly enough!

You could spend the rest of your lifetime searching for a better, more capable, more compassionate…read morehealer than Dr. Laurie and come up completely empty-handed. In fact, I'd be willing to place a small wager that is exactly how it would play out. In my estimation Dr. Laurie is a True Healer in that she does not simply try to relieve or mask symptoms, but rather aims to lead you to your healthiest, highest vibrational self. Laurie's intuition and integrity are second to none. Her compass is aimed True North and it does not waiver. She uses natural, holistic modalities and only resorts to herbs and/or supplements when she is very clear that is what will serve you best. I never once felt like she was trying to sell me something or encouraging me to take excessive amounts of things. In fact, it was quite the opposite. She consistently encouraged me to simplify my supplement regimen and focus more on my diet, exercise and lifestyle choices. This was a very difficult approach for me to embrace, being that I've always been in search of more supplements and magic pills that would "fix" me. When I finally started to really take ownership of my food intake specifically, I began to realize why Dr. Laurie was so adamant that I look first to food for my medicine. I am not exaggerating when I say that when I showed up to Dr. Laurie's office for the first time, I was physically, spiritually and emotionally broken. Dr. Laurie firmly, yet compassionately led me back to a My Path. I had spent the better part of half a life avoiding, mistreating and numbing myself, so the journey wasn't always easy and the results didn't happen overnight, but upon meeting Dr. Laurie for the first time, I never once questioned whether I was in the right place or not. To be honest, I don't think I've ever left a review for anything, ever in my life. But because I relied on past reviewers as my entry point to ultimately deciding to reach out to Dr. Laurie, I feel the urge to write this review in hopes that it might help somebody (or somebodies) who are looking for guidance from a world-class human and healer. This is a different kind of medicine/healthcare than many of us are used to. It is not some "magical" modern technology or pill that promises to instantly "fix" you. My advice would be to commit to 5-10 visits/treatments with Dr. Laurie. Take it seriously. Give yourself the time and grace to rest and recalibrate after the first few treatments, as it may stir some stuff up and you may feel tired, etc. Monitor closely the changes you experience over 5-10 treatments. My guess is that you will find yourself on a new path. If you feel the call, trust that path and in a few Months you will likely find yourself in a new, better place. I strongly urge you to at least try this for yourself. If you won't do it for yourself, do it for the people and the world around you. Do not underestimate the impact the best version of yourself can have on this world and the people you love. ​"If you want to awaken all of humanity, then awaken all of yourself. If you want to eliminate the suffering in the world, then eliminate all that is dark and negative in yourself. Truly, the greatest gift you have to give is that of your own self-transformation." ​​​​​​​​-Wang Fu ***** This review was written by my husband and posted from my account. It is based on his experience after seeing Dr. Laurie for approximately 18 months. ****

I was…read morerecommended by a co-worker back in Jan'20 for acupuncture recovery while healing from a broken leg. I received much more than expected from your typical doctor's visit. Her recommendations for homeopathic remedies are so refreshing! She is very kind, thorough and provides wonderful insights into health and wellness. I now, Jan'21 find myself back to her for a seemingly incurable hand irritation (think contact dermatitis). I spent nearly a year trying to figure it out with a topical steroid/mineral oil aka Vaseline/Aquaphor (just don't) that was recommended by a doctor. She nailed it with natural topical oil, herb capsules, floral essence tincture and acupuncture. I am now cured of the annoying irritation which took only one week from my visit. I didn't realize how much it was impacting my daily life which consisted of constant worry of an allergy reaction and itching. I am really doing a re-haul on my body these days and have her to thank.

I had an incredibly wonderful pregnancy and I owe most of it to Stacy, her acupuncture treatments and knowledge about supplements and nutrition. She helped treat my heartburn and poor sleep. I stayed healthy throughout my entire pregnancy and never felt like I was dragging. My energy stayed high, my spirits good. I felt great! I didn't suffer from the typical pregnancy woes and I truly believe it was due to Stacy's treatments. At one point, I had to skip a couple weeks of treatments and I really felt a difference. My ankles swelled up, my heartburn came back and I did not sleep well at all. What a miracle! When I went post-dates, I knew I wanted to induce. I went to Stacy and she did some gentle induction points and voila - baby was born the next day! Stacy has been wonderful for my postpartum care. She came to our home for a home-visit a few days after our baby was born. Her treatments helped me so much during that sensitive time. I highly recommend Stacy for women who are pregnant, trying to conceive or have just had a baby. She'll take great care of you!

Immediately after the treatment I could feel the stress of my mind and body melt away. My mind reached a new level of clarity, the tension in my shoulders was relieved and I felt happy again. The second time I came I was experiencing seve sciatica lower back pain which was making it difficult to sleep and exercise. During the treatment I was amazed at how quickly the pain was disappearing. For the first time in a very long time, I could walk without pain. Most recently I saw Shana for smoking cessation support. I wasn't sure that acupunture could really help me stop smoking but thought I would give it a try. It's worked so far and I have found that the herbs are especially helpful for calming my intense cravings. It's incredible, after only a few treatments I feel so much better. btw, ask for extension 220 when calling.

I knew lots of people who had tried acupuncture, but I was a little skeptical. I wasn't convinced that it would really help. Boy was I wrong. I decided to take a chance, and made an appointment with Shana as soon as we got into town. Shana was very caring and patient with me, which was important because I was a little nervous. She really took the time to listen, and to explain everything thoroughly. I felt as though she were tailoring a treatment specifically for me. As she treated me, I started to feel tingly and very relaxed. When she was done I felt so good, as if I just received a massage or spa treatment, but the pain relief lasted much longer. The one treatment took away my back pain for over three weeks! I was so pleased, I recommended Shana to a friend with severe stress and anxiety, and she was equally impressed with her results. My only regret is that Shana isn't located where I live. I would go to her all the time. Shana was professional, incredibly knowledgeable, very friendly, and the results definitely surpassed my expectations. Thank you Shana!

Those are better results than anything else I've tried and the program is easy to follow. I look forward to continuing this process until I reach my goal of 25 pounds lost--and then keeping it off. I am so convinced of this that I am disposing of every garment that has become too big for me. I am never going to need those "fat pants" again. I freely admit to healthy skepticism about this method, which is based on increasing cellular communication through the introduction of sound waves. The proof is in the results. While my weight loss journey has been in baby steps, I've watched friends lose weight very quickly on this program. The end result is the same: a lighter body, easier movement, healthier cholesterol and blood pressure numbers, loose clothing, other ailments disappearing (tendonitis, arthritis, post-nasal drip, heart burn, hot flashes), and the personal pride of achieving goals, all through the science of cellular hydration.
