I have been on a health journey for the past few years, but decided to see Lorraine as my…read morenutritionist because I was getting tired of the same routine and falling into extreme eating habits. I have been with Lorraine for almost a month now and can safely say that she has completely changed my life and point of view on food. She provides such a comfortable and safe environment to talk about not just food, but my cognitive and mental outlook on my life. Upon my consultation, she made sure to note all aspects of my health and past eating habits, and created a delicious customized meal plan based on my preferences, as I am primarily plant based. These plans also integrate meal prep into them, which has reduced my snacking tendencies, as I can just grab my prepped meals from the fridge. I have fallen in love with cooking at home again and get excited about each meal as they are all so diverse and completely satiate me. It's crazy how quickly my taste preferences have changed and crave her recipes. The 3-month plan I opted for includes weekly check-ins, where Lorraine doesn't mention calories or weight every time, but more of how I am feeling mentally based on the foods I am eating. She is also sure to educate me on certain foods to avoid or gravitate towards which can positively affect my lifestyle. I look forward to seeing her each week because she celebrates every small victory with me. I could not recommend anyone else- thank you Lorraine!!!

I saw Nikki in 2011 and it was life changing. Working with her, I learned I was lactose intolerant…read moreand received a great education on the importance of having a customized nutrition plan to meet my body's specific needs. Nine years later, I reached out again in Feb 2020 to reset after a couple of years of deprioritizing my health. Seeing Nikki again was like riding a bike - she was as warm, understanding, and supportive as ever. She created a very thorough shopping list with a ton of new brands and delicious recipe options that I wouldn't have known otherwise. Nikki made food shopping and cooking FUN because I could feel and taste the difference of what I was putting in my body. And all super easy to find and make!! Fast forward to COVID-19. I was lucky enough to start doing the work a month before the world changed. By then, I was already used to making better food choices for me and having Nikki by my side. While a lot of people were eating through their anxieties, Nikki's support helped me have the semblance of agency by making the most nourishing and simple meals. While I don't weigh myself, I'm definitely thinner and my clothes fit looser. And I feel amazing all around. More than that, Nikki's guidance is holistic. She not only focuses on the food, but also the mental and emotional. Nikki probes deep to help me get in touch with my feelings and then releasing them. She is the real deal and an amazing cheerleader - during the good and the bad! Now getting down to business. Nikki is super responsive (almost at lightning speed) and she's cost conscious. There's a stigma about eating healthy being expensive, but Nikki finds you options and promo codes galore. Seeing her is an investment in your health, and you learn how to maximize it! Call her. Right now. You'll gain a better appreciation for your health and strength, as well as a true friend and champion.

I worked with Molly on two separate occasions. We did six months back in 2014-2015 and recently did…read morea year together. I needed to reconnect with Molly after a nasty bout with covid back in January 2021. After getting sick with a complicated virus such as covid, I was truly blessed to start a new health journey with Molly. Molly not only sees the value of nutrition, but also the mental and spiritual aspects of health. She will recommend: books, films, and self-care practices that will get you feeling right again. She got me to start eating dairy-free again; this was huge for me. Also, she got me to start eating more plant based again as well! This time it was actually easier than anticipated. I now eat basically 90% plant based and some days have no meat at all. I really feel stronger and my performance has been better at the gym as well. Another thing is, Molly understands the importance of boundaries and being a bit selfish about your health and self care at times! Her simple tips go a long way, and if you utilize all these small tips they will yield results and pay dividends. Molly is so positive and encouraging as well. Whether you are eating the rainbow of fruits and veggies or smashing workout records, she is always happy to hear the good news! She will cheer you on through your journey and be right by your side. I truly love her as a person and health coach. I really could not have achieved everything that I had in the past several years without her help. If you need a nutritionist definitely use Molly, you will not regret it.

Love Dr. Molly! She's helped me sooo much since August 2019. It's definitely been a journey. I've…read morelearned how to listen to what my body needs without restrictions. I've naturally learned how to cut back on or eliminate things my body just doesn't respond well to. I've never been one to "enjoy" salads. It's taken me years to get here, but now I just throw in what I want, even if it's just a few ingredients, and my body thanks me for it. Not only that, Molly has taught me how emotions fuel my body, and not in an intellectual way. It's really about leading with intuition, and that's something that develops over time. My skin has never been clearer! Previously, I'd try different products that would work for a time, and then it'd be back with the breakouts. It's taken some time to get to the point where I am now, but overall, I'm so happy. There's still work to go, but I never thought I'd see the day where I'd go an entire month without one new pimple. Since quarantine, I've lost weight without even trying (and still ordering Seamless), and my face doesn't seem gaunt, which has been in an issue in the past. It just feels like this is how my body is supposed to look now, but I'm still open to the journey and feeling good where I'm at. There are so many breakthroughs that I've had under Dr. Molly's care, it's wild! I've confronted issues with family and friends in loving ways and I treat myself with more kindness. Everything is truly connected. I now know I can never live without Ezekiel bread ... like ever! LOL Thank you Dr. Molly for all of your help and guidance!! If you've ever struggled with eating or just need more direction and clarity, get her on the line or send an email - you will truly thank yourself!

I initially found Kristin because she was in my health insurance network, and close to where I…read morelived. I had discovered acupuncture a few years prior, when I had been hit by a car and acupuncture was part of the covered treatment. In the 10 years I have been getting acupuncture and body work in NYC, I can unequivocally say that Kristin is the most gifted healer I have been to. She was very thorough in her assessment of my conditions, and every visit is comprehensive, no matter how sick or well I am. I have been to several acupuncturists who give a very "out of the box" set of points and not much discussion. Kristin goes beyond surface level presentation of my injuries/issues and takes the time to discuss other aspects of my health that may be contributing, namely nutrition and exercise. Her touch is very healing and she has the ability to precisely target points in a powerful way. Additionally, she is vibrant, friendly, empathetic and easy to talk to--all the qualities you'd hope for in a healthcare provider. Her practice is situated in a comprehensive chiropractic and physical therapy office, so it is easy to get multiple complimentary treatments if needed. I have made many personal referrals to Kristin, and all have found her to be excellent.

There is not enough I can say about Kristin Misik. Introduced to me about 6 months ago at 43rd…read moreStreet Physical Medicine & Rehab. First, there is no beating Kristin's sunny disposition. She makes you feel better just by her smile and her words of confidence. I am afraid of needles, but she talked to me and asked me to breathe in and out. She reassured me by letting me know that if one needle hurt, that would be it, she wouldn't pressure me in any way to continue with the therapy. LOL. Now I can't wait until she puts that one needle in my forehead (OH THAT'S THE STRESS RELIEVER) that puts me to sleep before she reaches the door. I didn't know if acupuncture would work for me, but it has. Relieving the pressure I feel on my knees and absolutely the best for relieving my stress. Kristin is an absolute sweetheart. She is calm, professional and supportive. I am now using acupuncture to relieve my tendonitis in my elbow. I kind of look like a human pin cushion now during my treatments. Me! the girl who is afraid of needles. LOL. Give acupuncture a try, but most of all, try with Kristin! You won't regret it!

She gets what it's like to train a working mom, who has little time but a real desire to get stronger, so every workout is intense without being punishing. She's super creative - I've been working with her for years and have never had the same workout twice. She consistently tailors the workout to my goals; as my goals change, she's totally cool with that and adjusts. Renata intuitively understands when I need a more gentle workout or when I have it inside me to give 120% more than I thought. She is beyond professional - always on time, and flexible when I ask. I don't write Yelp reviews, but Renata is exemplary. She's honest, motivating and inspiring. Honestly, she's a lovely person and a very talented trainer. If you're even thinking about training, contact her!

Vitality NYC was such a great experience. When I went in, it was for the Cryo. The guy who helped…read moreme throughout my experience was amazing! I never felt nervous and he made me feel very comfortable. Yes, it's freezing. It's COLD COLD COLD. But I felt pretty good after. The three minutes went by rather quickly. I did have more range of motion and I did run a bit cooler which is nice in the summer weather. Why 4 as opposed to 5 stars? They also have infrared therapy. It would have been cool if they offered 15 min in the infrared sauna as well. I think that would have given them an edge. But in New York you have to pay for EVERYTHING. I get it, won't knock the hustle.

She has such a grounded, caring presence that makes something that could feel awkward feel totally normal and even healing. She took the time to explain everything before starting, made sure I was comfortable the whole way through, and even checked in after to see how I felt. It's such a small thing, but it really shows how much she cares. After my session, I felt lighter not just physically, but mentally. My digestion improved almost immediately, and I slept like a baby that night. The space itself is beautiful and clean, with this peaceful energy that makes you feel safe.

We didn't really connect on an emotional/psychological level and her hyper rational approach didn't always work for me. Having someone to be accountable to is always helpful, but I didn't feel like I was getting much insight beyond what I've read in books or online. What really tripped me up was her cancellation policy. I had to pre-pay for my time with her and when we weren't connecting and I didn't think I had much more to learn from her, I still had to pay for the two months of sessions I no longer wanted to attend. It's her policy and that's fine, it just really didn't work out for me and I would have loved some recourse for the situation I found myself in.

It wasn't until I met Lisa that I really began to understand what was at the core of my struggle. She taught me how to become aware of my behaviors and to recognize where they were stemming from. How to focus on what it was that my body and mind really needed. How to make food meaningful to myself again. She helped me face my triggers, structure my day so I satisfied my body when I needed it, and appreciate my mind and body for what they are. She taught me that food cannot make me happy. I'm the only one who can make myself happy. We have just finished working together after a year and a half. She has helped me achieve my weight loss goal, which I had thought was impossible, and maintain the weight. She has provided me with all of the tools necessary to progress with my weight loss journey and continue to build a positive relationship with food. Thank you Lisa from the bottom of my heart.

I've been seeing Sammi for a few months now. I am a certified fitness instructor who (believe it or…read morenot) seriously struggles with balancing nutrition. In just a few months, Sammi has completely helped me change my eating habits for the better. I have a much larger and more accurate understanding of what type of foods will help me receive nutrients, feel full, and help me function better throughout my busy schedule - all while working to reach and maintain a body that I feel happy and confident in. Not to mention, I don't feel restricted from ANY food! I now eat more mindfully than ever before. I would recommend Sammi to ANYONE - no matter what your experience with eating habits have been or what your goals are. She is incredibly knowledgeable of the work in her field, and she is able to apply her knowledge to your personal needs and wants with so much patience and understanding. Thank you, Sammi!

I saw Sammi for four sessions over one month. I paid a lot of money to essentially be told how…read moremany calories to eat a day. During these sessions, Sammi did provide some guidance on how to break up eating through the day and ideas for what to eat, but nothing was unique or, frankly, worked. During our 45 minute sessions (which were not cheap), I felt she was continually looking at the clock, and between sessions we had no interaction -- she didn't check in to see how I was progressing. Ultimately, I didn't feel Sammi was the appropriate fit for me stylistically, nor did her strategy work for me. Results are what count. I have seen another nutritionist in NYC -- Arianna Hundt -- who was much more hands on in her approach, and I feel her eating and exercise plan worked for me.
