Working with Laura has been an amazing decision and I am so happy she has guided me over the last…read moreyear. I came to Laura not with any specific eating challenge, but I was an irrepressible nail-biter and no matter what I did or how much willpower, rewards, previous counseling, or even negative conditioning I tried, I always found myself falling back into the same patterns and then chastising myself for not being strong enough to break this habit. These responses played out even at times of success and appreciation from others. Laura collaborated with me to identify and address the complicated causes of why and how I interpreted everyday emotional conflict in both my perceived failures and successes, so that I could then take small steps to address how it manifested in my nail-biting. A year later, I am proud of the work we did together to soften these impulses significantly longer than I can remember and the success I feel when I look at my hands today. Laura continues to stay a resource as needed, and I am so glad I invested the time and resources in her program so she could help me dig into my root causes.  Her collaborative approach and guidance improved my life far beyond my nail-biting impulses and I could not recommend her highly enough.

Inching into my mid-thirties, and having the boilerplate health (and vanity) concerns, I knew what…read moreI needed to do to be healthier (and more comfortable in my skin) but just never stuck to doing those things enough to make a difference. "By this time next year, I'll be fitting into those old skinny jeans again. I'll just start doing x, x, x, x, x, x, x, x, and x." When I met Laura and heard of her services, I though to myself "do I really need to pay someone to do what I already know I need to be doing?" And after I few more months without change I realized the answer was a resounding, "ugh, I guess". What really pushed me to the point of seeking Laura's guidance wasn't stepping on scale as much going to the doctor and having high blood pressure and high cholesterol. Because of my nutritional resourcefulness and scientific inquisitiveness I assumed up until that point that I was healthy, simply by having knowledge about what was healthy. But, the numbers proved me wrong. Working with Laura helped me to filter my overwhelming amount of nutritional and health information into small and manageable lifestyle actions. She helped me to pair down my health actions binging (and then long period of disappointed apathy) into realistic adjustments. I look forward to having my sessions with Laura, not only because she is personable and knowledgable, but she's a perfectly nonjudgmental counselor to gently guide me down the better path when I stray. The key to Laura's success is making the plan tailored to what I enjoy in life and not unrealistically cutting out indulgences. The helps bring pleasure and wellness to a balance. I got my blood panels done again last week, and my anxiety at viewing the results melted away at I saw that my total cholesterol has dropped 55 mg/dL down to 155mg/dL, and all of my number are in the healthy range. I shouldn't have been that surprised, since I've lost 12 lbs and feel much better. Laura knows what she's doing, and even if skinny jeans are no longer trending, I'm just happy feeling better in this one body I've got.

Don't waste your time. They call you to offer you a $435/month career coaching plan. If you say…read moreno, the call ends. I guess they expect you to sign up for something without even seeing if their consulting makes sense, don't waste your time.

Unfortunately I had a bad experience with Alma La Vida. I complied with all the exercises that were…read moregiven to me (personality tests, SWOT analysis, etc), and the coach I had most of the time did not read anything I submitted until the day of the session. I realized most of these things they could just have had me fill out before my sessions started instead of using my money to go over tests available online. My coach was not at all prepared to speak with me when our sessions started. The sessions ended up me helping her catch up on what she had missed. I thought regardless, she must have some ideas of what path I could take and could lay out a plan via email to help me through. No, she said I would have a hard time finding a job (even though it's literally her job to help me find one!). My last session in what I'd pre-paid for ended up being ignored. After asking around to a few other career coaches on LinkedIn, one of them actually gave me some free advice on next steps to take and said I'd been scammed. It's all about marketing yourself, and she suggested some fields where my specific skills could be really valuable. ALV said they would offer my last session to someone more suited to me, but my question was, why wasn't this person offered to me in the first place? Isn't it their job to pair you with someone who is professional and understands your skillset? I asked them if they would address any of the wasted sessions that didn't help me at all, maybe in the form of sessions through this better career coach. They said no, and said it was my fault for not knowing that I had a bad mentor. I was really upset. They said it's not typical of them to issue refunds, but they'd refund for my last session if I didn't want to use it. Really a complete waste, and they are indeed very expensive. They do not go the extra mile for their clients.

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.

Disclosure: I did graduate from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition with Heather, BUT I…read morepersonally feel compelled to tell the Yelp world how awesome of a coach she is. Heather brings everything to the table that you could want from a health coach--someone who has alleviated her own health symptoms and built her health coaching talents on top of an already solid foundation in therapy and counseling. Even though I am a certified health coach, I actually hired Heather to help me through my bad time management skills which caused me to eat poorly, which caused me to stress and caused weight to find its way back onto my frame. It was messy, but Heather attacked my issues one by one. She kept me on track with recommendations that were new to me and easy to follow. With her accountability & support, I've significantly slimmed down my grocery bills, Google calendar, waist and my cooking/prep times with her quick tips. I also attended her sugar workshop and, once again, she taught me new things and how to appreciate naturally sweet foods more than before. (Little known secret: Heather makes a mean gift bag for attendees!) So don't even hesitate to do the sugar workshops and sign up for coaching sessions. If she could teach this old health coach new tricks, then new clients will be nothing short of completely transformed.

I went to the sugar blues workshop here, and it was really interesting and helpful, not to mention…read morereasonably priced. I liked Heather's (the health coach) approach - she was very down-to-earth and didn't encourage people to completely cut out sweets; rather, she presented information on a variety of natural sweeteners. She also gave out healthy snacks and recipes which was awesome! Additionally, I was able to receive a health history which gave me a good perspective on my past and current habits. This is a great place!

Working with Claudia over the course of six EFT sessions was truly transformative. From the very…read morebeginning, she created a safe and supportive space where I felt seen, heard, and understood. Her intuitive guidance was incredible--she was able to gently but accurately pinpoint emotional triggers that I hadn't fully recognized on my own. Through tapping, I began to notice real shifts in how I processed my emotions. Situations at my workplace that once felt overwhelming became much more manageable as I worked through them using the tools and awareness Claudia helped me develop. I experienced a sense of clarity, calm, and emotional release that made a tangible difference in my day-to-day life. Claudia has a unique gift for blending intuition with EFT in a way that feels both grounding and empowering. I'm so grateful for the progress I've made through our sessions and would highly recommend her to anyone looking to heal, gain insight, and move forward with greater peace and confidence.
