I truely feel safe in my own space and in the world, for the first time in my 70 years on this earth. This somatic work has given me an opportunity to step out of my story and view my very sensitive nervous system with respect and awe. Amy has helped me to understand that I "AM NOT BROKEN". And most importantly to learn how to understand and use the messages from my nervous system as a guide. The environment at the Collaborative is respectful, healing and safe. I am grateful to have found Amy and the Somatic Collaborative.

She was willing to follow where no other therapist had dared to go, making the relationship real and caring. She is able to think outside the box and has an adventurous spirit.

I booked a "Therapeutic Table Massage" with Shannon Trudeau and had a very traumatic experience…read more When I arrived I explained to her I like firm pressure and was having issues with my shoulders and neck and upper back being very tight and I would like to primarily focus on those areas. The first 30 minutes of my massage were her guiding some sort of yoga nidra exercise with no actual massaging. I had to ask her when the massage would actually start. She seemed to have a huge ego about the request and continued her guided exercise. Once she did start "massaging" me, it was just her placing her hands on my body very lightly and doing static holds on trigger points. I explained to her I would Like more muscle stimulation in the form of a faster deeper massage but she didn't listen to my requests and kept doing the things she was doing that I did not ask for. She didn't pay attention tho the specific areas that I came in to address and spent most of the time on my arms and legs. She talked the majority of the massage and kept instructing me to take deep breaths. I do not come in to this for a therapy session which is what it felt like. The table was cold and so was the room. I had to ask her to turn the heat on the table mid session because I was freezing and her hands were freezing. She did not seem to have any knowledge of anatomy, massage, or draping. After the session was over she sat me down and wanted to go over her "findings" and it felt really uncomfortable having someone tell me all the areas in my body she noticed I was tight but not actually using the time I paid for to resolve any of those issues. I did not book a trigger point massage, a reiki session, or a therapy session. I mentioned to her multiple times I was not wanting the type of "massage" she gave me and she said that "energetically we may not be a good fit" - in my option this is such a rude thing to say to someone who was very clear about the massage I wanted to receive and requested it multiple times only to be completely ignored - probably because this person is not educated enough or capable of doing actual massage. This practitioner is borderline harmful and should not be practicing any healing modality. I felt disgusting after leaving her session. I felt completely ignored and judged. I debated weather or not I should leave this review but after experiencing this I wanted other people to know the potential harms of booking with this practitioner. Please remove her from "therapeutic table massage" because she didn't actually massage me and this is really misleading for customers.

Dr. Hinkle is absolutely excellent! With well over 30 years experience, it would be understandable…read moreif a Dr would take an almost cold and purely sterile professional approach due to the idea of "I've seen it all before." That is absolutely the OPPOSITE of how Dr. Hinkle approaches her patients. My wife and I could tell from the very beginning of our interactions with her that she was truly invested in helping our children and not simply collecting a paycheck. Although she has many products that she can sell, products that she has thoroughly tested over the years, she took the time to carefully test which products would work best for our children and craft personalized treatment plans. One of the greatest benefits is her willingness to make house calls. This is a huge benefit to us as we have 5 kids 8 yrs old and under so it can be difficult traveling places especially Dr's office visits. While we have no direct office experience, I expect it to be just as excellent! In short, the combination of her true and genuine care for her customers and considerable experience make her an absolutely excellent choice of naturopathic Doctor for you and your family!

She makes appointments easy for large families by offering the flexibility of home appointments. This is huge for us with having young children. Each child can have their appointment in the comfort of our home, and when each kid is finished they can run off and play with toys as the next child gets their appointment rather than sitting in an office for a few hours. She's very quick with responding to phone calls and emails and doesn't rush through our appointments. She patiently answers all of our questions and offers helpful and knowledgeable advice on all questions we ask her. We are very happy with the care our children have received from her so far. One of our son's had horrible digestion issues and the supplements she recommended for us to use for him resolved his diarrhea. Our son had diarrhea for a solid year and it completely cleared up within a couple months of using her recommended supplements. We are very happy that we found her and how she has helped our children. I highly recommend her!!

We examined every aspect of my life; spirituality, career, education, finances, joy, social life, relationships, home environment, home cooking, physical activity, health, and creativity. I learned that as tough as it might be, it's important to be healthy in every area. She worked with me to identify troubled areas and made adjustments to maximize my health. I believe increasing mindfulness was the most helpful improvement I made. I achieved this decluttering my home environment, increasing my me time with relaxation and meditation, increasing exercise and paying closer attention to what I eat. I have not implemented all of the tools that she introduced, but the ones I have implemented have made a big difference. And what's really good is that I can go back and review the take aways from each session when I'm ready to and add more tools to my wellness arsenal as I see fit. It was a great experience. I wish I could afford to continue, because working on "me" is a full-time job. I closer to where I want to be, but still have work to do to get there. -J.C. North Carolina

Her insights into why I sometimes get stuck are really helpful to me. She is grounded and evidence based, introducing me to various tools, attitudes and skill sets for managing my sometimes turbulent emotional landscape. But she also has great intuition and insight into mysteries of the heart and the need to respect and learn from our reptilian instincts without being controlled by that part of us. Jenna has a great balance between head and heart. Her vibe is confident, open to life and compassionate. She knows she has something good to offer and she skillfully brings that spirit to our conversations. I trust her and highly recommend her.
