I was recommended to Ema's Herbs by a friend who has sworn by Sara and her team here. Having been…read moreexperiencing health issues for a bit now, I was optimistic to try a more holistic approach and see what their services are all about. Full transparency there is a pretty significant waitlist to see Sara and I did have to wait a few months to get an individual consult with her. If you're looking for a consult and one on one, this is the best service/way to do it - just know to be patient. I signed up online with an appointment date a few months out and I did notice that when there were cancelations by other clients, I would get an email notifying me in case I wanted to get the open appointment. However, with them being so popular, by the time I'd check my emails and try to sign up for the earlier appointment they were always taken. I learned you just have to be really patient to get into here. I felt that the wait was worth it though. Sara was very knowledgeable, approachable and kind. She touched my feet and without me disclosing any of my healthcare issues she was able to relay back what she believed/could read to be some of my health issues/areas in my body that had inflammation etc. After she was through I did provide more context or validate some points she made but the initial consult / reading was all to her credit for figuring out what she could. It was a very interesting experience and enjoyable. From there Sara recommended products and I bought about 85% of them. The different vitamins and products do add up but they also seem to last about 2-3 months before I'll run out so not bad. I've been on the supplements for about a month so I'll need more time to come back here and to report what differences I see. For now I'm just getting in the swing of consistently taking the different items I purchased. Lastly, if you don't make an appointment or want an assessment, you can simply walk in and buy any products you'd like. That's definitely nice for people who already know what they are looking for or for established customers who may not need a reading/one on one with staff every-time they come. From supplements, to drinks and teas, they have it all. One item of theirs that I have been using that seems to be working well is their sore throat tea. So if you are prone to sore throats or preparing for flu season I'd definitely recommend a can of this tea. Ema's herbs is a cute place and for years I wandered right past it. Despite the signage, the little house style shop was unassuming and I had never realized what this spot was. Definitely a great local business and staff who really want to support you with your wellness and healing journey. Excited to come back in another month and grateful I was referred to them.

I originally found her through searching Massage Therapists who do deep tissue/rehabilitative massage. I had a repetitive stress injury in my right shoulder and was pretty desperate in getting some help. I also had started a new job and knew I could benefit from from more consistent massage therapy. Emily assessed my limited range of motion in the shoulder and addressed the muscles that needed the most work. I was quickly impressed with her knowledge and skill. I started seeing immediate results. Emily also had recommendations for stretching and strengthening certain muscle groups that needed it most. What I like about working with Emily is: she's extremely present in the work she does. For me, that means my recovery needs are being met. She's also professional, knowledgable, and caring. It's easy to tell that Emily is a person who values being of service. I now work with Emily every two weeks. I feel so fortunate and lucky to have the opportunity.

It's one of my favorite health, food stores in town and a grew place for lunch. My only complaint lately is the cold food and olive bar. The last few times I've been in , usually it seems to be happening after 4 o'clock, , I've seen unsupervised kids (today a group of 6-8 year olds , last time 16ish year olds ) grabbing food with their hands, licking their fingers, and going right back in for more. Basically double dipping their way through the olives, peppers, tomatoes, etc. The staff are busy, so this really comes down to parents keeping an eye on their kids or having some kind of guidelines. Love the store, just maybe inspect the olive bar and baby tomatoes before committing.

The theory of the technology used (Sanexas Electric Cell Signalling Treatment-EST) is radiofrequency electrostimulation of the micro nerves and capillaries of the feet and lower legs together with microdoses of B vitamins. After nearly a year of treament, my symptoms were gone. Almost a year later, a mild case of neuropathy returned. So I started treatments again in the fall, continuing through last week, when, once again, treatments were effective and symptoms have disappeared. While I understand that this treatment process does not work in all cases, I can say without reservation that it has helped me, twice. My understanding, from speaking with SBRHC therapists, is that it can be used for back pain, as well, though I have not tried that.
