I am so excited to have found Helene at Body in Context! She is a natural born healer who also has evidenced years of passionate practice in the human body and how it connects with our worldly experiences.

The whole of me greatly looks forward to future sessions and healing! Thank you Helene!

My doctor referred me to Mary Gorman when I was having back pain. Mary was very patient with me,…read moreand she was able to come up with different exercises when I said that the exercise she wanted me to do was causing pain. My core was so weak that most any exercise put a strain on my back. Mary worked with me, modified the exercise, and within weeks, my core was being strengthed and the back pain was abating. Mary showed me how to sleep so I didn't put stress on my back, recommended shoes, and gave me new exercises as my back began to heal. Recently I developed tendonitis. Again, the doctor (actually NP this time) recommended physical therapy. I knew Mary was a good physical therapist, but I figured I needed to see a podiatrist. When I visited the podiatrist, he recommended I see a physical therapist! So Mary is helping me again. If you need a physical therapist, I would highly recommend Mary Gorman. She is very good at what she does and has lots of creative ideas for how to resolve body pain. Plus, she is a really warm and kind person, and a delight to be around!

Nando does some right, I will give him that. He at least seems somewhat interested in your problem…read moreand determined to solve it at first. Yet, when he attempts to give you the tools, and to bring up what you need to work on, he is terrible. He seems very much incompetent at what he does. He is rude, he has a foul mouth (falls under the category of rude), he has kadywompus ideas, he does not seem to grasp concept of simple aspects of human mind. For instance, Nando did not know what a cognitive distortion was, he had been so certain that he defined it right when he had not had even a slight grasp on what it was. Strange. I later found this out and brought it up to him, no response on that though. He is very reckless when dealing with something as fragile as the human brain.Which is nothing to play around with, for sure. He also is horrible at conducting business, he does not seem very meticulous with scheduling by any means. I had arrived on time, he had a flaw in scheduling, (which he had said was impossible because he NEVER messed up and was serious) and seemed to be irritated at me for arriving late and had given me a lecture on punctuality and seemed to be angry though insisting that he had never gotten angry. I am sorry, I am not grading him harshly he is not doing good by humanity with the way that he goes about counseling, it just is not his thing. With the way he was with me I do not even think that his Tai Chi coaching is something he should be in, because he says some very cutting remarks. All and all, really unprofessional I would not suggest him to my worst enemy and that is the honest truth. Do not go to him, good thing he does not counsel children. When I had left his business I felt more like crap then when I came in, because he made me very self-conscious. Take my word for it, not a very nice man.

Alex was beyond helpful in supporting me on my health journey.

She was kind, never judgmental, and gave me grace when I struggled.

I would recommend Alex to ANYONE who is looking for a compassionate, friendly, knowledgable, and all around kick-butt life and health coach.

I want to talk about the group classes here a little bit because they are so awesome! In the classes she guides and teaches us how to do energy clearing, energy healing, meditation, channel energy, medicine wheel, intuitive development, etc. I really enjoy the classes because we are all able to learn new things/tools from Nancy and from each other. We receive different perspectives from each other, and learn how each of us perceives our thoughts/mind, energy, letting go/holding on, healing, creativity, suffering, pain, patterns, inner child, etc and how we handle, overcome, practice, strategize, and utilize all these different areas in our lives. It really opens up your mind to so many different aspects and teaches me new ways to look at things; A better understanding of people, life, ourselves, and spirituality. I like these classes because they are like a support system and offer tools to a better life. In this world it's good to have lots of spiritual tools to help guide you! Nancy has so much to offer to keep your toolbox full. The classes open up my mind and I always leave so grateful for the experience!! Thank you Nancy!!

Go and see her, it might just change your life! :)

Dealt with Dr. Carol Low, a psychologist…read more She proved remarkably eclectic in her knowledge. She doesn't claim to be a physician, but her insights into my mental state proved decisive in helping me control my lower back pain, the cause and treatment of which had previous eluded an orthopedist, a chiropractor, a massage professional, an acupuncturist, and two physical therapists. As you can imagine, I was mightily impressed. Dr. Low isn't married to any one theory or course of treatment. She sizes up you, your symptoms and what might be causing them, then gravitates to whatever approach actually works. No nonsense and none of the "let's see, you'll need treatment until I can afford a new car" that you often see in this profession. Overall, highly recommended. Hence all those stars.
