    I can only speak highly of Laura Martin and the mindfulness classes she leads. I took the…read moreMindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) class a few years ago, and I am not exaggerating when I saw it is one of the best things I have ever done - for myself and for my family. I had always assumed that I just didn't get meditation/mindfulness, and it wouldn't work for me anyway. Laura is kind and patient, and when anyone expressed doubt that the practices we were doing would help, or that they were boring/annoying, Laura just asked us to get back to her at the end of the 8 weeks. Sure enough, by then I was seeing the benefits of the MBSR practices and classes. Laura is a very knowledgeable teacher, and always speaks (and listens) with compassion and kindness. Laura maintains communication with former students, and offers continuing support for our mindfulness practices. I highly recommend MBSR, Laura Martin, and River Rock Mindfulness to anyone looking for more balance in life.

    River Rock Mindfulness - When we practice meditation, I like to say, "There is no extra mindfulness on the floor." Some of us sit on the floor, some sit in chairs!

    From start to finish, the entire Portland Doula Love experience was exactly what I needed to feel…read moresupported! We were matched with the lovely, Patty Spravale, as our doula. I couldn't imagine our birth without her!!!

    We are beyond grateful for Doula Love's matching service and for pairing us with our incredible…read moredoula, Nomarie. We were a little on the fence about hiring a doula since this was our second baby, but we really wanted that holistic, nurturing care that a hospital alone can't always provide -- and Nomarie was exactly what we'd hoped for. I'm not what you'd call a "country granola" type of mom -- I went into this birth fully planning on (and very much wanting!) all the pain relief and medical support. But there's still such an important place for a doula in that environment. Nomarie helped bring warmth, connection, and a truly holistic touch to what could have otherwise felt like a very clinical experience. From the very first meeting, she made us feel comfortable, supported, and truly heard. She took the time to understand our hopes for the birth and was such a calming, confident presence every step of the way. When labor began, Nomarie was our angel -- grounding us through every contraction, guiding my partner on how to support me, and helping us navigate all the twists and turns that came our way. Even when things got complicated after our baby was born, she never left our side. Her steady reassurance and calm energy made us feel safe and less scared during a really overwhelming moment. Looking back, I honestly can't imagine our birth experience without her. She helped us feel empowered and cared for in one of the most intense and beautiful moments of our lives. I would recommend Doula Love and Nomarie a thousand times over -- they gave us the support we didn't even know we needed.

    I personally think this place was such a waste of money…read more My daughter was an A student in math and I registered her here so that she could get a jump start and move ahead in math, but what they do is give you an assessment on things that were not taught at the school which they stated were foundational but in my belief were irrelevant. She spent the entire summer completing 10-15 math papers that would take her 2 minutes each and not actually learning anything new. The work was way too easy and when I asked to give her more challenging math or actually teach her something new they kept stating that they believe they have to finish all of the "foundational" math. So I spent a lot of money on silly math papers that I could've printed out myself. Maybe this place is helpful to kids really struggling with math, but my goal was to get ahead and they effectively wasted our time and money and she did not learn one thing to give her a head start for middle school math. I would never come back here and would instead rather hire a private tutor that would actually teach her new concepts.

    Why are there no reviews for this community gem? I first discovered Mathnasium during the Fremont…read moreTrick or Treat event back in October. In spring of 2019, we decided we needed to provide support to my 5th grader who was not confident in his math skills. The site offers a free assessment and called to schedule almost as immediately as I hit send on their online form. Assessment process was explained well and a verbal summary is provided before you walk out the door. Results are compiled and emailed a few days later with an offer for a free tutoring session. So I struggled with figuring out how to finance this endeavor .. definitely worth it but it took me a couple of months to figure out the budget. It's an investment into my child's future and I would have figured it out no matter what. My son officially completed his first month at Mathnasium ... I got an email from his teacher commenting on some changes she is taking notice of. He can explain the reasoning behind his answers. He completes test and homework in less time. He is actually doing better in reading comprehension as well since he has gained confidence in being able to explain what is going on in his mind. We go every day that the site is open ... because we want to get our monies worth but (more importantly) also, because my son asks to go every day! Highly recommend!
