I was at my wits end until a friend suggested finding an osteopath. The experience has been a game changer! Kylie and her team are amazing! They are so attentive and attuned to their patients. After routine appointments for several months to support Abby's body's ability to help her regulate her she is on maintenance mode and visits every month or two. She loves to hop up on the table now and have Anthony do her "jellies". For myself, after observing all the benefits that she gained, I treated myself and find it so valuable for my emotional and physical well-being. Having had recent shoulder and foot injuries, I can attest to the value of these techniques for restoring my health.

I have had chronic neck pain for years, and her subtle but powerful work has given me a lot of relief.

She is a kind and knowledgeable practitioner. I look forward to my next treatment.

I had been suffering with back pain for a year and a half before I was threated by Viviana Diaz, a…read moreFeldenkrais Practioner, in Berkeley. A friend of mine recommended Feldenkrais as a way for relief. Feldenkrais is the practice of body motion capable of creating or recreating semmetry of motion when that motion is impaired by pain, as in my case. Believe me, I had tried chiropractic, accupuncture, physical therapy mostly to no to moderate success, respectively. Viviana Diaz is caring, gentle, listens well, and very competent. I was treated at her home in a very spacious studio that is well equipped with table, towels, pillows, etc. I had read up on Feldenkrais methods a little before I saw her for the first of six session in March and April of this year. What I didn't expect was by the second session she had identified a major cause of my pain and we worked to correct the problem and over the sessions my pain had diminished considerably. I received instruction and exercises that I continue to perform daily to this day. About a month after I was treated by her I was pain free. Somebody wrote she is a miracle worker, to which I must agree. She is supported by her husband, Frank Wildman, one of the original Feldenkrais Practioners in Berkeley. I often thank my friend for encouraging me and it was my good fortune that I called upon and was treated by Viviana. I only wish all the professional I see were as good.

She listens carefully to whatever it is I need each time I see her and she varies her pressure and style of touch accordingly depending on what i need. At times her massages are slow, deep, still, long - always quiet, always sensitive. I know she's also a Feldenkrais Practitioner and sometimes integrates some of those techniques into my massage. Whatever techniques she uses I leave feeling taller, feeling as if my long muscles have been 'ironed out'. Sometimes I feel super relaxed and sometimes invigorated. Also, her studio is spacious, clean and soothing, which i really appreciate.

Candise has been incredibly thorough in understanding my symptoms week to week. She's thoughtful, attentive, informative and it truly feels like she's fully present with me for the entire session. The acupuncture has helped relieve discomfort due to my original symptoms, but she's also addressed tension in my head/neck, ankle pain after a sprain, and more along the way. She's also provided herbal medicine that's been custom-tailored every week and incredibly helpful.I leave every session feeling physically more calm and at ease, and emotionally more regulated too. Some symptoms, like the nighttime wheezing, are now completely under control, and others continue to improve! On top of that, she's helped me understand so much more about my menstrual cycle and what's actually going on with my body. I can't recommend her enough!! Thank you Candise!

I had been experiencing persistent back discomfort and related symptoms that were impacting my day-to-day well-being. Her acupuncture treatment really hit the spot and eased a lot of tension. Through her thoughtful treatments, she's helped me find real relief and ease. She is incredibly thorough, kind, and comprehensive in her approach. Each session feels tailored to what my body needs in the moment, and she always takes time to explain what she's doing and why. I deeply appreciate her ability to combine technical expertise with genuine care and attentiveness. Beyond the treatments themselves, Candise creates such a warm and supportive environment. She listens closely, is easy to talk to, and makes sure you feel comfortable throughout the process. I highly recommend her to anyone navigating symptoms that are affecting their quality of life and looking for compassionate, effective support.

He's insightful, thorough, and up-to-date with the latest wellness techniques and technology, has gained an incredible depth of experience and an understanding of the body's signs and signals during the span of his practice and it seems to help him put things in perspective as my own body's attempted to balance out through periods of disorder. In this way, he's been a big help and I trust him for all these reasons. In addition, his sense of humor, genuine concern and the belief he holds in personal responsibility that puts the healing process ultimately in the hands of the people who come to him create a refreshing take on the process of being in the role of a patient; he's made each visit an education, a joy and, unfailingly, helpful. For those looking for the right supplement or product to support their healthy lifestyle, Dr. Ari's got a strong selection and a good sense of what's most beneficial on the store shelves. I recommend him to everyone in the Bay Area, even those who are very far away (even though I usually get family and friends rolling their eyes about the distance from Sonoma County) and will continue to do so as long as his doors are open to the public.
