I came to Yael because while I know about working out, calorie deficits and nutrition individually. I just didn't know enough about how they all work together and I was feeling frustrated, deprived and results were no where in sight. In the months I've worked with Yael, I find myself happy about the changes Yael has advised me to change. Not only they make sense scientifically , they make sense to real life, a busy professonal's life at all. I find myself calm, never starving, dont feel deprived and I have high energy for new outdoor cycling hobby and existing body weight training. I'm grateful for the tools and knowledge that Yael is teaching me, she's setting me up to mature my knowledge of my own body and goals to do this on my own once the training wheels are off. I highly recommend Yael to anyone who seeks a holistic and realistic approach to health and fitness goals.

I found Ricky through FB community and I'm so greatful that I did! Ricky is extremely dedicated,…read morefocused, goal oriented, professional and overall pleasant. She's very patient and thorough. You can tell she really loves what she does and definitely cares. She's persistent and knows how to think outside the box when needed - All in order to find the right fit and helpful solutions for her clients! I definitely got how strongly she believes in anyone's ability to heal and dedicated all time, energy and efforts to find the right path together. All in order to remove all health obstacles and heal the issues from the core and not just "put a band aid" on the symptoms. I'm dealing with multiple health issues and symptoms that have been pretty much incurable and lowered my quality of life.. Especially digestion, acid reflux, various inflammations, fever, insomnia etc. This has had an effect on me mentally as well and adding life's stress didn't help at all. Unfortunately conventional medicine really couldn't find solutions for me and I was pretty much told that my autoimmune condition isn't curable and I should just learn to live like this. I knew there was a way and I wasn't about the give up! I knew I'm sensitive to some foods and have some deficiencies, but I didn't even know where to start.. Ricky patiently gathered all the information she could get about me and my situation, past and present. She had me fill elaborated questioners to reflect all aspects of my symptoms and overall condition. She provided many special lab tests to help in creating a full detailed picture of my current state, for her to be able to tackle all matters and help me heal for good. It is a process and I'm getting better everyday! You definitely need someone like Ricky to walk that path with you, show you that there's hope even when things seem complex and do everything with love and dedication! I highly recommend Ricky for this interesting, unique journey of functional nutrition and health. Our foods and plants are our medicine, and our inner wounds and sensitivities can be healed for sure! Just ask Ricky, she will show you there's a way where you couldn't see a path or options. May we all be healthy and happy Thank you Ricky!

A long overdue review:…read more I was in a pretty dark place when I called Julie out of desperation. I felt overwhelmed and out of control. From that first conversation, I knew Julie would be the one to bring me back. I cannot thank Julie enough for her flexibility (she saw me the very same day I spoke with her on the phone!) and compassion. Within a few days of following Julie's recommendations, my energy skyrocketed, my moods improved, and even my relationship felt closer with improved communication. Julie is so much more than a nutritionist- she is like a therapist, a friend, a scholar, and nutritionist all bundled in one. Julie is warm, wise, humorous , insightful, and passionate- just the right mix to draw my little timid self out. I left each session with a renewed confidence in myself. She kickstarted a new passion for health and wellness. If you want amazingly positive changes in your life- call Julie right now. Highly recommended!!

Working with Shanti over the past couple of years has been so much more than a journey toward…read morelosing weight. It has genuinely changed the way I understand my body, my relationship with food, and how I approach my overall well-being. I originally came to Shanti because I wanted to lose weight. And while I have lost weight, it hasn't happened as quickly or to the extent I initially hoped. But what I've come to realize is that the real value of working with Shanti isn't just about losing weight. It's about learning how to live well in the body you've been given and helping it function at its best. Shanti doesn't teach quick fixes or one-size-fits-all nutrition plans. She teaches lifelong skills tailored to your body, your tastes, your preferences, and your lifestyle. She helps you understand how your body processes what you consume and how to make choices that actually work for you. The weight loss becomes a natural result of building healthier, more sustainable habits rather than the sole measure of success. What makes Shanti truly special is how holistic her approach is. Yes, she's incredibly knowledgeable about nutrition and the physical side of health, but she also helps you connect the dots between your hormones, cycles, emotions, environment, and consumption. You begin to understand not just what you're eating or drinking, but why, and how all of these things influence one another. That awareness has changed so much for me. It's transformed my relationship with food and alcohol, and even how I think about friendships, boundaries, and the environments I put myself in. You start to recognize what supports the life you want to live and what might be getting in the way. While the coaching may start with nutrition and your body, the experience feels much more like having a life coach. Shanti helps you build a deeper understanding of yourself and gives you the tools to make meaningful, lasting changes. I'm incredibly grateful for what I've learned from her. If you're looking for someone who will help you do more than just reach a number on the scale, I can't recommend Shanti enough. You're investing in skills and self-awareness that will benefit you for the rest of your life.

Ruchira is an exceptional physical therapist--she listens deeply, is incredibly patient and empathetic, and always takes the time to understand the bigger picture. She has a wonderful way of explaining things clearly and logically, often using examples that make everything easy to understand. When I first came to BreakThrough, pain and mobility issues were affecting my quality of life and limiting some of the activities I enjoyed. Working with Ruchira has helped me manage my pain, get significantly stronger, and get back to doing things I love, including hiking. I genuinely feel better after every session. What I appreciate most is that she truly cares about her patients and always has their best interests at heart. She brings such great energy to every session, and I've had some of the best conversations with her along the way. I'm truly grateful for everything Ruchira has done for me. Thank you, Ruchira! Also big shoutout to Maria and front office team who are amazing! I also appreciate the setup, each therapist sees the patient for the entire duration, the place is clean and welcoming. Thanks, Breakthrough team!

I started working with Chen about 7 months ago because I found myself with no energy or strength to…read moreget through my day. I tried to eat healthy but was constantly hungry when counting calories and snacking on whatever was in the office to get me through the day. I also thought I had a sweet tooth. Chen helped me realize that I actually needed to eat more, but the right foods, especially since I had some food allergies that caused inflammation. The doctor only told me to eat less to loose weight and get my blood sugar down, but that was it. Our bodies are all different and we need to eat according to our body's needs. I also began to plan my meals and snacks so I wouldn't have to resort to eating too much sugar which is the snack of choice in every office setting. Making sure I eat enough and a variety during my meals has taken away my sweet tooth and gives me enough energy to put in long hours as a litigator, pick up kickboxing again, and have enough time for my family. Medically, my blood sugar has improved greatly and I've lost 15 pounds. It's been a slow process with some setbacks due to travel, but I'm very pleased and will keep the knowledge she has given me to continue to live a balanced and healthy life. The thing I'm most grateful to Chen is that she listened and confirmed that I did indeed need to eat more. I'm deemed obese, but have played sports all of my life and have done well on physicals, but doctors still told me to loose weight and do it by reducing my calories. It was frustrating and made me feel like something was wrong with me because I tried eating less and snacking on carrots, but would still be hungry. I'll probably still be considered obese once I get to my healthy weight, but I'm fine with it now because I will know I am actually healthy. That peace of mind was well worth the cost of Chen's services.

I'm here ALIVE and THRIVING today because of Chen. When the doctors couldn't figure out what was…read moregoing on with my body & made me even sicker with rounds and rounds of medications, I was ready to give up. But luckily, I then found Chen. She took one look at me and knew it was food related and said she would help me figure it out. And that she did! I started working with Chen about 4 years ago. She is one of the few people I trust with advising me on how to care for my body and my autoimmune disease. I've even seen doctors in centers that purely focus on my autoimmune disease and they weren't able to answer all the questions that Chen has for me. Chen has supported me through every single step of the way on my health journey: - Finding my diagnosis (testing & interpretation), - Developing a nutrition & supplement plan, - Periodic consultations to adjust my plan while my body went through various cycles till it stabilized, - Educating me along the way how to listen to and understand the signs my body was giving me (knowledge/skills I will carry the rest of my life) - Tips on different foods/recipes to try and tips for food prep - As well as supporting through the emotional aspects of the journey (i can't tell you how many times i cried and she always listened, encouraged me to really let it out and supported me) Additionally, I've use her supplements, protein powders and protein bars for the last 4 years. I can't recommend them enough, especially for those with very sensitive bodies like me. She sources and produces her products specifically to be allergen free. The new addition to her line, the protein bars, are SO tasty that I almost don't want to tell you that. Most recently I've tried the energy reading/work with her. This for me is something I was excited to try as Chen and I had been trying to find the last little bit to get me to 100%. The results of the readings are always very spot on and a great data point to help show some other factors going on (food, environment, and emotional). I have to admit this was a very new experience for me and I wasn't sure what to expect, but seeing the reading and results has been mind-blowing. And on top of all this Chen herself is an ABSOLUTE JOY. She instantly makes you feel safe and supported the moment you see or talk to her. She will push you and call you out if needed. And she will also celebrate your wins and learnings with you along the way. I can't thank Chen enough. I didn't think it was possible to not only get my healthy body back but to be stronger than I ever was. I'm so happy to be alive today thanks to her and to get to go after my dreams knowing I have her support.
