I knew I had to write this review after my first Reiki appointment, but after my Reiki training…read moreclass yesterday, I knew this had to write this immediately! I went in for my very first 60 minute Reiki appointment a couple weeks ago to deal with some stress due to drastic life changes. I have been feeling jumpy and "on-edge" for a while and needed some additional help/direction to provide relief. The space was incredibly cozy and all around felt good to be in. Immediately after meeting Marie, I knew she was a right fit. I appreciated her natural ability to make me feel right at home in a new space. The treatment itself was amazing. Having had smaller Reiki sessions before, I had an idea of what to expect, but during the full hour, I felt the tightness in my abdomen relax, and my breathing become easier. By the end of the hour, I was calm, glassy-eyed, and a little out of it (in a good way). I really feel that the treatment set the tone for how I coped with my stressors the following week. I didn't hold things in my body as much and felt calmer. Because I work in the health industry, I decided to also do a one-on-one Reiki training with Marie as well. I am still blown away by her kindness during the class. Not only did I receive amazing information and training, but the materials she gave me to study were very organized and well put together. We enjoyed talking about health and healing so much, that we did get off track with time (which I didn't mind because I was learning so much), but she was so kind in letting me hang out longer to get all the training I needed. She even provided lunch! I am so, so grateful for Marie and her generosity and can't wait to put Reiki in to my own practice. GO SEE HER!!

I have been to several reiki practitioners throughout my life, but nothing could have prepared me…read morefor my experience with Marie. I had been going through a difficult time and was experiencing terrible anxiety. I had lost someone close to me, and my sweet dog of 15 years had just passed. There was a heaviness that was weighing on my heart that just wouldn't go away. I had heard about this woman- Marie- from a mutual friend who insisted that I go try one reiki session with her. I had received reiki before, and was skeptical that anyone could help at this point. Moreover, Marie's office was 45 minutes from where I live. I finally got around to scheduling an appointment. It turned out to be one of the best decisions of my life. Marie is hands down the most gifted healer I have ever encountered. Her compassionate and intuitive nature were exactly what I needed. After one session with Marie, I felt like a whole new person. It felt like the weight had finally been lifted. She is such a bright and loving person who genuinely cares about her clients. When she told me she would follow up with me after our session, I was shocked to receive an email from her that night with all the information we had talked about that day. She gave me tools to continue to use at home to help with my grieving process. Her positive energy and genuine warmth is contagious. After two sessions with Marie, I was so impressed that I signed up for her Reiki Level I and II class. I couldn't be happier. I am forever grateful to Marie and the impact she has had on my life. If it's your first time experiencing reiki, or even if you are an experienced veteran, you will not be disappointed.

I have had hypothyroidism for nearly 20 years and I have medicated with Levothyorixine, prescribed…read moreby my general practitioner. Despite being at the correct dose (per *some* bloodwork), I was regularly cold, sometimes anxious, quick to go from not hungry to starving, and sometimes lethargic (despite living a very active lifestyle). After just two appointments with Dr. Simms and additional biometric (blood and saliva) testing, we both came to the conclusion that not only was I working against my thyroid by way of the foods that I was eating, but I was also suffering from iron and vitamin D deficiency. Additionally, I had moderate hormonal imbalances. These weren't far-fetched, non-Western conclusion, but founded in more accurate interpretations and more complete biometrics. The "prescription" was a variety of supplements to address deficiencies and excesses. I appreciate that Dr. Simms did not push me to buy the supplements offered at her clinic, as this would have been a turn-off for me. Through some research, I was able to meet my nutritional and supplements needs in an affordable way. I have not yet had my biometrics re-run, but I know that I am better off. I sleep better, feel better (mood and energy), am no longer cold, and more relaxed. I highly recommend arranging for a consultation with her and bring any existing blood work results to support your discussion. Though she was not covered by my insurance, she was well-worth the cost. And, I was able to pay for my bills with my medical savings account.

I recently started seeing Dr. Simms primarily to help with my menopausal symptoms as well as hoping…read moreto improve my general health. Our first appointment was virtual and I found her to be very attentive and engaging. She allowed ample time to discuss my concerns and objectives where my health was concerned. She was able to set up a protocol which included supplements, diet & exercise. Along the way, I have found her to be available to me for any questions and concerns that I may have had and has always replied in a very timely fashion. Today marks one month exactly since I've been on the regimen and I am so pleased to say that my symptoms have improved tremendously! She truly cares about helping her patients resolve their issues and attain optimal health. If you are in search of a highly qualified and knowledgeable doctor to address your WHOLE health, I strongly recommend Dr. Simms.

I first went in at a time where I was in chronic back pain and just at an overall low point in my mental and physical health. I truly felt at rock bottom. I scheduled an appointment with Ashley and was so amazed at the entire experience from day 1. From the initial check in at the front desk to meeting Ashley, it just felt like such a safe, welcoming space. With leas than 6 months of weekly treatment, my life was changed for the better. From needles, to cups, to Ashley's wonderful approach and listening, it been a complete 180 from my first visit. The treatments have been so healing. I am forever grateful and thankful for Ashley and Five Points. Truly a wonderful place to go. Since they've been in their new space, I have only seen the expansion of all the wonderful, healing potential of this amazing practice, their care, and their offerings. I do not hesitate to refer friends and family to Ashley and Five Points.

If you want to get to the root of your pain and actually work on getting better, Sabina is your girl! I'm on my fourth session and have never felt better.

They instead say, you should get better in "a week or two" so don't bother to make another appointment unless there is no sufficient improvement. I have no hesitation recommending their services.

Since the human body is all connected, pain on the left, may mean something is not okay on the right, and vice versa.

Dr. Gold was God sent! She's a highly qualified and professional Naprapath. The initial examination was very thorough. She diagnosed my problem and created custom treatment plan; including stretches to help with pain relief. Dr. Gold is personable, accommodating, and answers my questions timely. She follows extremely strict sanitation practices between each patient; which I appreciate, given the covid pandemic. After nearly one year of virtual learning, decreased activity, gaming, and poor ergonomics, my 16 year old son started complaining of lower back and neck pain. After failed relief with stretching, I knew Dr. Gold would help. She treats pediatric patients and has been very gentle with her approach. My son's back pain continues to improve with each treatment.

I chose Dr. Weiler as my physician upon moving to Chicago 7 years ago and every time I see her I…read moremarvel at what a truly great choice that was. This time it was an injury to my arm. I misjudged the weight of a crate and ouch, that hurt. I assumed it was a simple muscle strain, but I'm no physician. Dr. Weiler, however, recognized my symptoms as consistent with a more serious injury and, thanks to her and her very professional staff, I had an X-ray, an MRI and saw a specialist, all within four days of my initial visit with her. There's no way I could've achieved all these appointments on my own. It's only because of Dr. Weiler and her staff that I got in to see a specialist that very same week. UPDATE: Within 10 days of that first appointment with Dr. Weiler, I learned I'd suffered a 95-percent separation of my bicep, and had the surgery necessary to correct it. Yes. All within 10 days. If not for Dr. Weiler, the injury I mistook for a simple strain could've very easily become so severe that even surgery wouldn't have been an option. Besides that, the specialist to whom she referred me was among the best of the best. Another win for Dr. Weiler. She's got a lot of those.

To add complexity, I'm newly postpartum and anxious about actually healing and supporting my body while not interfering with what my baby needs. So as a result, I've gone quite some time without being consistently active. Enter Forth. I joined at the end of 2025. I show up every day at noon, regardless of my physical or mental state, and I feel welcomed and supported. I recognize at least one person from prior classes or the neighborhood. I can take yoga or strength or Pilates without feeling frustrated or bored. I can make it home in time for my 1pm meetings. I always walk out stronger and a little more grounded than when I walked in and isn't that all any of us wants?

In the past, I usually left places after two or three tries, but this felt different from the start. As a Latino, I've often felt excluded in spaces that aren't typically diverse, but here that couldn't be further from the truth...everyone is included and the diversity is palpable. The owner, teachers, and staff make you feel like you're part of something truly special. I feel comfortable here; everyone is incredibly respectful, and the overall vibe is extraordinary. The unlimited membership is absolutely worth it, especially for someone like me who lives close to the studio. It's easy for me to attend classes almost every day. Classes are about 45 minutes long, but I usually arrive 15 minutes early to warm up and practice movements on my own. I often take double classes--and sometimes even three in one day. ----SPANISH VERSION--- Me uní a Forth en octubre como un experimento y rápidamente encontré un lugar acogedor al que realmente podía comprometerme y disfrutar de verdad. En el pasado, solía dejar los lugares después de dos o tres intentos, pero aquí se sintió diferente desde el principio. Como latino, muchas veces me he sentido excluido en espacios que no suelen ser diversos, pero en Forth ha sido todo lo contrario, todos son incluidos y la diversidad se puede apreciar. La dueña, los maestros y el staff hacen que te sientas parte de algo realmente especial. Me siento muy cómodo aquí; todos son extremadamente respetuosos y la vibra en general es extraordinaria. La membresía ilimitada definitivamente vale la pena, especialmente para alguien como yo que vive cerca del estudio. Es muy fácil asistir a clases casi todos los días. Las clases duran alrededor de 45 minutos, pero normalmente llego 15 minutos antes para calentar y practicar movimientos por mi cuenta. A menudo tomo clases dobles y, en algunas ocasiones, incluso tres en un solo día.
