Edit to my below Review: Finally received the Dx code asked for my final visit, likely based on the…read morereview that I didn't get it when I previously asked for it. This office is a great option if you are not wanting to bill insurance. Practitioner knowledge and results from my assessment continue to be positive. While I continue to have decent results from the assessment and recommendation of Dr Valenzuela, it was the office experience related to billing that garnered this not so fab review. I was a cash patient recommended to her office by another practitioner. I needed the superbill with the Dx codes on it to submit to my insurance company for reimbursement as this office doesn't work directly with insurance. I have asked for this code on the receipt from my last visit three times now since mid December and received no reply. At one point, I was told by Dr Emily that if I book my appts, the DX code isn't on the superbill, but if she books it, it is. Why is their a "book online" option on their website if she wants to book the appts? Furthermore, I paid her over $400 and am only asking for a Dx code for the last visit. It takes less than 5 minutes to add this to the superbill! Her last reply to me is and I quote. "We are a cash base business, because what we do in our clinic is generally not covered by insurance. So sorry we couldn't be of more help. The best thing I can do in the future is recommend getting an HSA insurance plan. You put money into an account that you can use for services such as mine or your chiropractor and then your insurance premiums are lower. Good luck" The HSA is a great suggestion but not attainable for me at this time. I did end up getting partial reimbursement for the initial visit from my insurance, and I know others who have these services covered by their insurance, they just have to bill and need the Dx code! Not a big ask when you are charging $225 for the initial visit and $90 for follow ups! Sheesh! I have since found another practitioner who does what this office does and does bill insurance and is super easy to work with. As sad as it is for me to give this review, the lack of response from Dr Emily speaks for itself.

I have been seeing Dr. Valenzuela off and on for years for general maintenance and thyroid health…read more(I have Hashimoto's/hypothyroidism). However I had never really honed in on my thyroid health and fertility and wanted to prior to conceiving as I was anxious that it would be impossible to get pregnant due to my diagnosis, or would take longer than most. I also knew that if I was to become pregnant, my risk of miscarriage was much higher. Therefore both my husband and I started to see Emily regularly about 8 months prior to when we wanted to start trying. She took me through the CellCore supplement program where I detoxed from heavy metals, parasites, viruses (all big triggers for autoimmune disease) and more, and additionally worked on my thryoid and adrenals with acupuncture. Within a few months I started to feel huge changes, my skin cleared up, my hair stopped falling out, my brain fog had dissipated and I felt so good and really prepared to try for a baby. The first time we "tried" and weren't even really trying we got pregnant. I honestly was in shock and beyond excited. I am now in my 35th week of pregnancy and been seeing Dr. Valenzuela regularly to ensure baby "stuck" and that baby and I have both remained healthy throughout. I haven't had any tiredness or weird symptoms that most people complain of during pregnancy and I have to credit regular acupuncture treatments with her. Emily has been an endless source of information and made me feel so calm as a first time mom and I highly, highly recommend seeing her for autoimmune problems/thyroid health, infertility/fertility, and anxiety!

Every time I have a healing with Debi it feels like I exit into a whole new world.

The wall dissolved in that one session. I loved it so much that I signed up for mentoring with her. Thanks to that I've become a skilled healer myself, but I still go to her for tuneups and support "leveling up" when I want to heighten my intuition and develop my skills as a healer even more. I have an incredible experience every single time. Debi is very generous with her time, so give yourself plenty of time for your session. You won't regret it.

Description: Group fitness studio offering 45-minute HIIT…read moreand circuit workouts (and the workouts change everyday!) in a spacious, mirror-free environment Location: Located along PCH near Dana Point's Doheny Beach and can easily be walked to if you're in the surrounding area. Plus, it's next door to one of my fave pizza spots aPizza Doho, perfect if you want to treat yourself after a good workout Workout Format: Classes rotate daily between Cardio and Strength (Upper and Lower) sessions. Each station is guided by TV screens showing every move, so you always know what to do, with trainers circulating to help as well Trainers / Instructors: Everyone here is super friendly! We even had a class where it was just the two of us, and the instructor Elle was still super engaged, even participating in the workouts with us to keep up motivated! Vibe & Community: Lots of positive vibes and high fives from members and instructor. Plus the no-mirror setup takes away the self-conscious factor and keeps focus on the workout itself. Facilities & Cleanliness: Very spacious compared to some other F45 studios (we've been in some pretty odd shaped F45s so being in a studio that is not cramped and oddly laid out is nice). Perfect For: People who want an engaging workout. If you easily get bored with the same routine, F45 is perfect for you as everyday is something new! Parking: Street and plaza parking. When the plaza gets busy though, parking can be kind of a pain (plus some of the spot are pretty tight) Promos: They've got a an intro offer of $30 for 3 classes, perfect for checking out a few of their class types to see if F45 is right for you!

Working with Bruno through the '7 Elements of Balance' has been a life-changing experience and a total transformation. In just 13 weeks, I lost 26.3 lbs and saw my BMI drop from 33.4 down to 28.7 (moving from Obese Class 1 to Overweight). While the numbers speak for themselves--including losing 4 inches off my waist--the lifestyle habits are what I value most. I've become a consistent morning runner and I actually enjoy it! I'm much more mindful and aware of what I'm eating, my water intake has improved, and for the first time, I find myself looking forward to eating vegetables. Bruno is a one-of-a-kind coach who works with you one-on-one. He is incredibly flexible, understanding, and encouraging. You can tell he truly loves what he does and cares about his clients looking and being at their best--spiritually, physically, and in all the good things.

He now has over a year clean and sober. I couldn't be more proud of my son for doing the work with the guidance of body mind and spirit. They help us set him on a path to freedom from his addiction.

The food was outstanding and elegantly presented, and his team -- including the bartender and three servers -- was equally impressive.
