The spiritual community has many gems but is plagued with stereotypical "gurus" who feed off the power dynamic and project their shadows onto vulnerable clients. This is 100% not the case with Jay. There is no mask, no façade--he is simply too competent and empathetic. Jay also possesses deep humility so you truly feel safe to divulge and share all the residual pain, anger, shame, rejection, ancestral trauma. Through all of this delving and releasing, you cannot help but shine more brightly in his presence. I feel honored to know Jay and know he will continue to touch lives in profound ways.

It's impossible to be around Master Sio and not feel changed for the better in some way. He exudes…read morea calm, peaceful, fun, happy, love that is so nice to be around. Master Sio is a real deal healer and I am so grateful we met years ago. His students become powerful healers also, and they stay connected, give their time & energy to participate in Master Sio's events, without pay, because they love him. As soon as I arrived at the retreat, I felt my monkey-mind beginning to settle down, and as the day began & we all met each other & had breakfast, my breathing began to ease, and the calm started to spread. This is just the effect Master Sio has on a room. With each new meditation and healing we connected together more as a group. Master Sio's Silent Retreat was exactly what I needed in my life. A lot can be communicated without noise; a concept my family is thrilled I finally learned. I continue to feel the peace and freedom I experienced this past weekend, and am ready for this to be a quarterly event.

I owe it to this prayer for helping me to turn negative energy around each time, and as a result, I am able to attract prosperity to my life. I have to say that you must be open to giving as well as receiving. Once you become greedy, it will not work. Learn to accept God, and what the universe gives you. Let the energy flow through you and pass it on to others as well. Blessings and prosperity will come to you when you are not expecting it." ************************** I left a review years ago in 2016, and since then, I have found much improvement in my life from practicing QiGong and visiting with Master Sio. I have been seeing Master Sio to help treat various physical and mental issues, and had found great relief and treatments for various conditions through practicing and participating in medical qigong and through Master Sio's treatment sessions. Even my pup has seen Master Sio, and has found great benefit in our therapy sessions. Previously, I mentioned that Master Sio practices "Hawaiian QiGong", different from the Chinese art, however, to clarify, it is really a practice of QiGong (cultivating and practice of moving energy), combined with traditional Hawaiian "Aloha" (unconditional love). It may be hard to comprehend in the beginning, but actually very simple, though, it is a gift that not everyone has, and a practice that takes decades to cultivate, that of which Master Sio has mastered. If you are in tune with energy (or even not in tune) you will feel this amazing energy and love from a visit with Master Sio. Those in doubt are often turned around. If you are open to being healed in some form, or want to let go of extra baggage, or a subconscious issue you did not even know about, I highly recommend a visit with Master Sio.

I would have continued long term, but I had to stop because I moved to a different location.

Run don't walk to Bartley Body Integration! Jay Bartley is a Structural Integration practitioner…read morethat really knows what he is doing and in my opinion works with you to get noticeable results quickly. I only have great things to say about Jay and highly recommend his work to everyone I meet. (If I had more time I'd write a shorter review, but here it is...) Most people don't know what Structural Integration (SI) is or what it does and how exactly it can help them. I was one of those people until I experienced the entire 10 series. The short explanation from my understanding is- we've all heard of muscle memory, but what we have not heard is that muscle memory is actually stored in the fascia and not the actual muscle. So SI is a massage type physical manipulation of the fascia that allows it to release, open up to receiving blood flow from the body and therefore it heals stronger than before. I included video of Jay Cutler (football player turned 4 time Mr. Olympia winning bodybuilder getting a form of SI done) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s2pfFrYnqGU also a great brief article about fascia and the leaps and bounds made in gains during muscle training. http://www.simplyshredded.com/fst-7-fascia-stretch-training-7-workout-routine-nutrition-guide.html I'm not a doctor and I can only really talk about my experience. But before working with Jay, I had muscle tightness in the back, legs, and jaw that would caused pain and headaches. I wanted to see if he could help with that. My experience is that the results were beyond my expectations. I wanted less pain or even no pain in my muscles. After going through the series, I was really happy that the tightness and pain is gone. But in addition to that, I've discovered a whole range of motion in my body that did not exist before. My legs feel balanced and secure and movement is easy and free and actually feels really good. I feel taller just like I've been untangled and able to really experience movement. My body from a structural standpoint looks stronger and my posture is naturally improved because of it. One things to know is that as great as my own results were, I had to work in each session for it. Some of the SI sessions were painful for a few minutes as Jay worked on different areas. The way I would explain it is that blood has to move in your body in order to heal your body. And there are some areas of your body that have been blocked for years. So obviously when those areas open up there is a pain sensation and a brief period of adjustment when your body recognizes that it is healing itself. If you are an Athlete or bodybuilder moving to the next level or A regular person dealing with chronic muscle pain, Run don't walk to Bartley Body Integration!

I decided to try rolfing because I was desperate for relief and understanding what was behind my injuries. Jay is the ONLY long lasting relief I have found and I am so glad I didn't have surgery or get a stem cell injection. My posture is so different, my awareness of my movements and body is on another level, and my goal of eliminating the root cause of my pain improves every single session. I am driving, walking and in less pain than ever What else- Jay is professional and also lovely. Go get rolfed and stop wasting your time with other practitioners.

I didn't realize they had a Yelp page... I learned so much more than I thought I would by taking…read moreThe Breath Center's AOA program. It has sculpted my outlook on life in an incredibly powerful, positive, and permanent way. I am not a full-time breathwork or healing arts facilitator. I am a DJ, music producer, writer, and performer. AOA is for everyone and I hope that as many people discover it as possible! I don't expect it to resonate with everyone (it's too special for that) but I know how much it has helped and impacted me personally and professionally so I'm always thrilled to hear when new people discover it. Tons of Breathwork to choose from, right? The Breath Center's AOA (Anatomy Of Awakening) program is the most comprehensive Breathwork Certification program in existence. It is one of the only legal institutions for Breathwork in North America. Michael is one of the only breathwork facilitators who has bothered to get permission from the elders to be teaching these ancient and lineage-based techniques. He is also one of the only teachers willing to share the truth about what these practices are, where they come from, and what their deeper meaning is for us as a species. There are a lot of facilitators out there who either don't know the origins of this work or who are hiding it and giving credit to themselves and their (re)brand of it instead, keeping participants in the dark (and disempowered). I'm passionate about this topic because I've heard way too many stories of people "trying breathwork", having a negative experience, and deciding that breathwork is not for them. That is absolutely tragic!! This is one of the best healing modalities on Earth and it should be accessible to everyone. Unfortunately most of the mainstream "Breathworkers" are not carrying and sharing this practice responsibly and sooner or later, breathwork is going to be villainized, just like plant medicines were (and likely will be again). I put the word "breathwork" in quotations as much as possible because it's not the original name of these techniques, it is just a Western rebrand of something way older and way more sacred. To learn more, take AOA! I discovered The Breath Center at Bhakti Fest in 2015. It was the first time I'd experienced something similar to my plant medicine experiences without drinking a plant. I was absolutely intrigued and signed up for Michael Brian Baker's training program to learn more (actually to breathe more, I had no plans on becoming a facilitator myself). Back then there were Modules I, II, and III. Now there is a deeper program called AOA that allows graduates to be Certified by The Academy of Integrated Human Sciences®. Fancy title aside, if you are truly interested in this work and you want to get a proper education in it that will leave you feeling like you know what tf you're doing should you ever decide to facilitate it for others, please take this program. The future of "breathwork" and those who will either be incredibly helped or hurt by it depend on it. I'm happy to hop on a call with anyone to discuss more and Michael offers FREE 30-MINUTE consultations so take advantage of that. It's 2024 as I write this and 9 years later, I'm still a huge fan of this work and I share it regularly at the Soul of Yoga studio in Encinitas alongside Marcela and a couple other certified teachers. Come check out our Breathwork Class if you never have! Available online & recorded as well as in-person.

The…read moreworkshop was well organized, efficiently run/facilitated and had everything I needed in terms of facilities, trained staff, educational video's, directions/instructions and equipment. In terms of the actual breath work and workshop, Michael and his team were patient, caring and kind, I felt they actually cared about me and my wellbeing-experience. Being a newbie, I didn't know too much about Stan Grof or his work. The breath work, can open up or release emotional experiences, and allow you to see, understand/re-view emotions, past-current life situations or potential new circumstances. The unconscious mind is seems more "available" via the breathwork. Michael explains this in the intro discussion. As for my personal experience; I watched a session and then participated in a session. The guides are constantly monitoring all participants, and making sure we were cared for and supported. I had an amazing and uplifting/soulful experience. I saw others who had a more intense (emotional) session, and I was glad the Michael and his team were so pleasant, supportive and well prepared. I would recommend this experience to anyone who wants to "dive deeper", and I highly recommend Michael and his team. This can be an intense,rewarding and transformative experience, so finding someone with Michael's training, experience and caring/compassion is a real find! My highest 5 star recommendation. I look forward to participating in another of Holotropic Breathwork's workshops in the future.
