I was having GI trouble. My primary care doc is trained in integrative medicine and, unfortunately,…read morethe results of the tests she did were inconclusive. So she recommended Ayurveda, which brought up a new challenge for me. I know how to find an Ayurvedic doctor in India, but how do I find a suitable one locally? I had two major criteria: Excellent training and a kind and caring person. And I found just the right person. Dr. Asavari Manvikar fits both criteria. She trained in India at a premier institution in Pune, India, getting both her bachelor's and master's degrees. Her thesis was awarded a gold medal by the Institute of Medicine. She served as a Doctor of Ayurveda Medicine, faculty member at an Ayurveda college where she conducted and published research on integrative approaches for illnesses like cancer and diabetes. Then she trained in the US in integrative medicine--great! Now, she teaches a graduate level class in Ayurveda at the Univ of MN. Wonderful qualifications! As soon as I met her, I knew I had found the person I wanted to work with. She was warm and very easy to talk with. She listened very well and was respectful and kind. In all or our interactions, I have felt very comfortable and well cared for and listened to. I have found Ayurveda to be extremely helpful and my GI system is much more resilient now. Of course, after a life time of GI troubles, I knew it would take a while and, indeed, it did. After a couple of years I noticed that I was much more resilient. Not just my GI system (fewer tummy upsets, able to eat more things than before w/o stomach issues) but my immune system as well. My allergies were much better, my sleep improved and I had more energy. I have been able to stay off strong Western medicines--they helped me when I needed them but I did not want to be on them forever. And the changes have held over time and I feel so much better. I am so glad I am using Ayurveda and very pleased to be working with such a competent and caring professional. If you are looking for a natural approach to helping your body, I suggest trying Ayurveda. It is gentle and takes a holistic approach addressing mind, body and spirit. And I strongly recommend you seek treatment from Dr. Manvikar. I know you will like her and she will help you. I wish you all the best on your healing journey.

After seeing 14 specialists who kept telling me, "It's all in your head," my body was fighting for its life, and I felt hopeless. But finding Dr. Greg and Vitae Functional Medicine changed everything. From the moment I got my bloodwork done and started their 12-month program, I finally began getting the answers I'd been searching for. I haven't felt this good in over four years. I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. The compassion, the care, the experience, and the answers you'll receive here are unmatched. It's worth every minute, every penny, and every ounce of energy you have left. Don't wait another second; this was the best decision I've ever made for myself. If you've been feeling unwell for years, have more questions than answers, and feel like no one understands... that was me. But after coming here, everything changed. I finally understood what was wrong with me, thanks to the in-depth bloodwork panels they provided. But beyond that, they empower you. You don't just rely on them; you learn from them so you can live a healthier, more informed life moving forward. I already have a friend who signed up last month and just got her test results--she was shocked because no one had been able to give her answers either (now she's lined up for their 6-month plan). We also have a family member in the process of getting their bloodwork done. They're signing up not because they have anything serious going on but to check their overall health before they start trying to conceive (no health plan, most likely) They have different options to choose from based on your needs which is so helpful. They are the real deal... so incredibly worth it. I wish I would've found them sooner. I can't recommend Vitae Functional Medicine enough--it truly gave me my life back.

After undergoing the pain treatment at Enigma, my chronic pain has dropped from 9 to 3. For people…read morelike me who are very sick, this alternative approach to pain management can be life-changing.   My chronic pain, caused by an immune disorder, hovered around 8 or 9 (out of 10) despite my taking high doses of pain medications. I came across a study on the use of Ketamine for chronic pain patients, and I decided to undergo 5 successive pain infusions under the care of Dr. Mottaghi at Enigma, each consisting of around 5 hours. I'd like to stress that the treatments are by no means fun but are demanding and draining both physically and emotionally. My wife was with me throughout the infusions, and she drove me there and back. After every infusion, I went home, ate a little, and slept until the next day's treatment. My health insurance did not cover the cost of the infusions, so there was a financial investment as well.   It's been 3 weeks since my infusions ended, and the results have been life-changing. My overall pain has dropped to a 3 or 4, and I have cut my pain medications by 60%. My muscles are no longer spasming all over my body, and my overall inflammation is down. I am experiencing expected withdrawals from my pain meds, and I am working through this discomfort gradually. I am able to sleep for 6 to 8 hours every night, after years of no more than 2 hours interrupted sleep nightly. It's no surprise that I feel more hopeful and cheerful as well.    At this point, I intend to see how long the pain relief lasts. I was advised by Dr. Mottaghi that each patient is unique, and that I can do a booster infusion in the future if my pain begins to spike again. By so doing, I hope not to have to undergo a full 5-day treatment ever again.   I'll add that Dr. Mottaghi warned me that some patients may experience what's called a rebound pain--a temporary spike of pain around 5 days after the infusions end. This pain can last for a few days before it disappears. However, I did not experience any rebound pain.   I am very grateful to Dr. Mottaghi. For the first time in decades I feel hopeful about living in my broken body.

I was treated at Enigma Ketamine Therapy for migraine pains, which I have suffered from all my…read morelife. My infusion was 2 days ago, and tonight I was able to enjoy watching 4 hours of television without torturing pain. I have never been able to see a movie without having to take migraine medicine in the middle, and I always ended up with a strong migraine at the end of the movie, even with the medications. To watch more than 2 hours of television was impossible--until tonight. This, I think, is just the beginning of a change in my health. MY EXPERIENCE The compassion and understanding of Jamie and Dr. Mottaghi encouraged me to try this path of alternative medicine. I opted for a 1 hour Ketamine infusion, typically used for patients with depression or anxiety. I was aware that one strong trigger for my migraines is my strong empathy with the characters in the movie, which leads to crying. Since Ketamine can treat both emotional and pain conditions, I decided to give it a try. THE ROOM My private room was cozy and beautiful, with a very comfortable reclining chair for me, as well as a comfortable chair for my husband, who remained with me throughout the infusion. There was a large plant in the room, and the shades were down. An Aurora Beaurialis lamp created soothing patterns on the ceiling. Dr. Mottaghi was very careful in finding a vein, which is very difficult with me. He was incredibly patient and reassuring. He explained what I should expect at every step, and before starting the infusion he reassured me that "You will be safe. I am here the whole time. We can stop the treatment if you wish at any time." THE EXPERIENCE After starting the infusion, Dr. Mottaghi left the room, and I was in my chair with my husband in his chair beside me, holding my hand. I was quickly drawn into a world that I felt my mind was creating. It looked like a velvety landscape of colorful lava. The rational part of my brain remained aware of my existence somewhere in a chair with my husband holding my hand. I knew that this (normal) reality existed, but I felt myself living now in a reality created by my mind. I felt anxious at the very beginning, and I said to my husband, "Fear," and then he started talking to me. After that his voice guided me through a surreal and fascinating experience that I didn't want to end. It was beautiful and fascinating, and I just let go and waited to see what incredible textures, colors, and motion will unfold before my mind's eye. And the whole time I heard my husband sharing beautiful thoughts with me. AFTERWARDS After the infusion was stopped, Dr. Mottaghi removed my IV. I took my time coming to myself. Dr. Mottaghi explained that my motor functions will be impaired for a while. With the help of my husband I sat in a wheelchair, and we visited the bathroom together, then he wheeled me to the car and we drove home. I was able to eat in the car without any problem, to speak and be almost normal, except that I felt very tired and my head felt like it was spinning slightly, a feeling that abated after half an hour. I was able to walk on my own when we arrived at home. I ate some soup, and my husband helped me to bed. THE OUTCOME The experience unfolded in my feelings and thought long after it was over. Dr. Mottaghi recommend that I journal my insights, and I did so. I was amazed by the amount of penetrating self-awareness I could suddenly see. I made interesting links across many memories and events in my life, finding patterns. PAIN RELIEF Despite the interesting element of self-discovery, I do not feel that I encountered a Eureka moment that would explain why I've had migraines since I was four years old. I know that some of it is due to a head injury at that age. And yet, strong emotions always play a part in brining on my migraines. Tonight I watched 4 episodes of Bleak House, an adaptation of Charles Dickens' novel, and this was a FIRST FOR ME. I felt a slow migraine beginning, but it remained at a pain level of 2 and only intensified after 3 hours to around a 4. In the past, I could never watch even 1 episode or movie without ending with a 8 or 9 migraine. Often, I would not be able to see a movie to the end even with migraine medication. Tonight, for the first time in my life, I felt the migraine subsiding on its own. Eventually I took 1/4 pill (instead of a full pill) of migraine medicine to kill the pain completely. My infusion was just 2 days ago, and I expect to see further improvements. I am very glade I tried this approach to pain relief. I believe it will be life-changing.

In…read more2017 I was diagnosed with chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia, and at one point was relegated to bed for the majority of each day. I worked with the Mayo Clinic to address the immediate fatigue issues, but have had significant lingering fibro symptoms since. I have seen several physical therapists and massage therapists, with temporary benefit from all of them, but none of them have "cracked the case." This summer (2019), I did a 10-series with Jennifer, starting in June. It is now the end of August, and I have been essentially pain-free for this entire time frame. To say this is a relief is an understatement. I've also noticed significant changes in my posture and a fluidity in my movement that I haven't had in several years. Jennifer was extremely professional, and I was impressed with the systematic approach she took to this process. I feel it is my responsibility to learn as much as possible in order to continue to manage this condition, and Jennifer was very willing to answer the questions I had that will allow me to better understand my body and the condition as a whole. In addition to the pain relief, this has given me hope that I will be able to continue to improve my own management of this condition and return to the more active lifestyle I desire. Side note: I do believe that I would have benefited from rolfing long before I got sick. If you are at all wondering if you should do this, you should!

Originally for weekly sessions, and now for monthly maintenance sessions. She has provided a variety of treatments for anxiety, food therapy and pain issues.

Monica takes great care to provide a nurturing and calming environment. When I enter the waiting room I can feel my body relax as I prepare for treatment. Often as I am sitting down enjoying a lovely cup of tea. When we meet, she is patient and thorough, reviewing my charts and asking about any current needs I may be concerned about. She is very clear with communicating her treatment process and leaves time to answer any questions that may arise. I would highly recommend Legacy Wellness for your acupuncture needs.

I have only tried acupuncture twice before and had my first appointment at Legacy Wellness with…read moreMonica today. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience. I filled out a health screening that she actually looked at (when is the last time your Western medicine doctor actually reviewed what you fill out); digested and then discussed with me to help better identify what ailments I was/am facing and what treatments she would do. From there we went right into the treatment. As she was administering various treatments she explained what she was doing and what I should expect throughout. She made the experience great. Very kind, an inviting experience and I felt like she is truly listening and working to make me feel better! She is open to questions and provides thoughtful and informative responses. Shortly after my appointment I received a 'Report of Findings' via email that nicely summarizes aspects of acupuncture, Oriental medicine and specifically discusses some of my ailments and home treatments I can incorporate between appointments. It was general but still had good information I can review and reflect upon. My only complaint is that acupuncture is an expense. Not a fault of Monica or Legacy, just a fact that for regular treatments it can be costly; especially when not covered by insurance or a coupon (which thanks for the Groupon and the offer on Yelp!). Her treatment recommendations include quite a few trips so the overall expense, outside of having a discount/coupon in place, can be quite cost prohibitive with individual treatments running at $80 or a 12-treatment package knocking the per session cost down to $60. Anyway, if you have been thinking about trying acupuncture or are a regular practitioner I recommend Legacy Wellness. Monica is great and I will definitely be back for more treatments.
