Being the first person in my circle of friends to have a baby, and pregnant during the height of…read morequarantine, I needed all the support I could get. Elliette helped me navigate my emotions, validate my experience, and understand what is normal during the prenatal and postpartum period. Having her support, full transparency, and honesty was my saving grace. It truly takes a village, and Elliette was able to make me feel like everything I was experiencing was all okay. She helped me to see myself as I transitioned into motherhood, and that was more than enough.

I found Elliette late in my pregnancy and am eternally grateful that things lined up the way they…read moredid. I had her, and two other doulas in my final line up; after a zoom meeting with Elliette my intuition screamed YES. That was the grounding energy I needed to complete my birthing team. Even though we only met in person 1 time before my son was born, (almost 2 weeks early) my husband and I felt extremely comfortable and supported with Elliette which made all the difference when it came down to the big day. My labor worked up very quickly and Elliette was at our birth center ready when we arrived there. Throughout the process she provided comfort measures that stand out in a day that is somewhat a blur; things such as reminding me my body and baby were working together to get him here, and soothing me with touch and natural aromas between contractions. She radiated with calm; a much needed aspect for achieving my all-natural delivery without pain meds. She felt like a mother, a sister, a friend and a professional doula all in one, and fit perfectly with my midwife and husband in keeping me on track when things got super intense. I say I had the ultimate birthing dream team and I don't know that I'd feel that way if I hadn't found Elliette. She's the embodiment of the saying I'd heard while pregnant that doulas are "worth their weight in gold". This was no different in our postpartum experience with her. I received amazing resources from her and also, when I faced some challenges in my homecoming she was the sounding board I needed for navigating my emotions with compassion and strength. If you're looking for that divine feminine support in one of the most intense experience of your life, you're looking for Elliette.

Meredith made a hugely positive impact on the birth of our first child. Before the birth, she…read morehelped prepare us mentally with evidenced based advice and physically through exercises and tools. She was available when we had questions and a false alarm. When labor started, Meredith astutely assessed the situation and advised us to stay home a bit longer which was definitely the right call as we were more comfortable and progressing better at home. We arrived at the hospital right at our benchmark for dilation. Once at the hospital, Meredith teamed well with us and the nurses to make sure we followed our birth plan and adapted as needed. Her physical support helped Megan during the intense moments of labor and pushing. As a support person, I was able to recharge and be more in the moment thanks to Meredith. Ultimately we came through a challenging experience much better thanks to Meredith. Her post birth support (e.g. breast feeding, sore advice) has been stellar too. What separated Meredith, from the other Doulas we considered, was the perfect balance she struck of being empathetic/supportive while also leading and asserting when needed. And the evidence based advice too!!!

She had used them for one of her own family members, and had a great experience. My initial experience with Cheri was very good, they were very responsive to my initial call, and were able to meet with me at a time convenient for me, very considerate of my time limitations with all that was going on at the time. The day my uncle came home, they were right there waiting and willing to help. Over the next 2 1/2 weeks he was home, the caretakers were very loving and attentive. He lived alone, so often it was just him, and the caretakers. For his safety, I had cameras installed, and reviewed them often when I was not able to be there. This is how I know how well they treated him and cared for him. I could see how they took care of him, even when they were alone. And he was lucid, so if something wasn't right, he could tell me. He adored them though, and was very appreciative for their kindness and care. I will mention that there was one caretaker in the beginning that my uncle just didn't seem to click with, so we asked for a replacement and it was granted immediately. As for the management for Circle of Care, Cheri and Genalyn, they were very attentive and always responded quickly with any questions or needs we had. I see now why this company was so highly recommended by my uncle's doctor at UCI. If I had to do it over again, I would hire them again in a heartbeat. Lastly--Special shout out to the 2 caretakers who spent the most time with my uncle, Mila and AJ. Thank you both for treating my uncle like family. We could not have gotten through this without you two.

I was concerned because I was told there's a small lump on my right breast even though doctor said I should be fine since she didn't see anything on ultrasound. Ok skip to my appointment. It's located on the corner of San Vicente and Beverly Blvd. Valet parking is available. Parking is "free" you just tip the valet guy. There was no wait for the registration process and it was quick and simple. I waited about half an hour till my name was called which wasn't too bad considering this is a pretty big facility and plenty of people were waiting. I was nervous since this was my very first time to get mammogram done in my life but very caring and friendly staff made me feel comfortable. The staff were all very nice and sweet! I got mammogram and ultrasound done and it only took less than an hour to get a result. Overall I'm very satisfied with their professional service along with my result. They didn't find any evidence of breast cancer, pain is probably due to the hormone imbalance. I'm so glad! By the way, it's very important to get mammogram done every year regardless of age, ladies! It can happen at any age. (My friend was diagnosed with it when she was 26.) I will for sure come back to this place for my future check-ups.

This afternoon at 2PM my mom Claire had her third stem cell therapy treatment from Hersh Medical…read more The procedure was conducted at Douglas Murray, DC (a clinic for chiropractors, acupuncture, and Massage therapy). It began with the doctor taking x-rays of Claire's Wrists. I intend to have x-rays taken again 9 to 12 months from now to compare and post them. After examining the x-rays and explaining what the doctors (Neil Hersh and Steven Dundas) saw on them they listened to Claire (my mom) and answered her questions. During this time they explained to her what amount of stem cells cc's (cubic centimeter or cm3) they recommended. They said that they could not tell how where she would need injections and of how many cc's would be enough to make a difference in her levels of pain and recovery. Based on the x-rays and my mom's description of her pain level (she has arthritis) they prescribed 2 cc's per wrist (4 total). My mom decided that she was going to live at least 10 more years and wanted to enjoy golf and opening jars for the rest of it she wanted the 2 cc's. They will use less if you say so. The procedure was conducted by Dr Neil Hersh. Claire described that doctor as cleaning everything to the point that her hands and everything else was immaculate and disinfected. He ensured everything was super clean. She said, "It was efficient and highly professional. He kept me informed every step of the way. The pain level of the injections was tolerable." After the procedure was done we had to wait at least 15 minutes afterward to insure everything was good. The doctor instructed her to keep her hands up (like shoulder level and criss crossed over her head) during that 15 minute wait time. It had something to do with preventing her hands from swelling. Along with the standard instructions to drink 64 ounces of water, no strenuous use of her hands, no caffeine, and eat health, one new requirement was to get a splint for her hands (it would apply pressure to them without being too tight). I drove her to walmart where we bought the splints for her hands and took her home for a nice dinner. I had to do the cooking for her this time (ha ha). She describes that her hands feel fine now (7 pm) and that there is no pain whatsoever. The only downside so far is that mom is supposed to lay off golf for 6 weeks. In a week she might get to practice putting but she is not supposed to strain her hands. Our magic number for great results has been 3 months but I am hoping to see her hands get stronger by or before the end of thirty (30) days.

I've been active in sports my entire life, and had arthroscopic surgery on my right knee 30 years ago, and then again 10 years later. It had been successful for a while, but continued tennis and skiing and other sports wore away at my knees. It got to a point where it became painful to walk up and down steps, and to do other activities and the sports I enjoy. Then I heard about Stem Cell treatment, and could hardly believe my ears. I was DETERMINED NOT to have a knee replacement, and hoped that Stem Cell treatment would be the solution. My knee was "crackling" and felt loose. I had to wear a brace for sports, and then even for walking! The pain after tennis necessitated taking anti-inflammatories, which had stopped being effective. I was worried.... I decided to go for the Stem Cell treatment after hearing the presentation from Hersh Medical. They explained how amniotic stem cells were a better choice than using your own adult cells (especially if you are an older adult with less stem cells!). They were right! It's only been a little over 2 weeks, and I can honestly say I ALREADY feel a difference. Walking down the steps is less painful. My knee is not crackling anymore, (although it still does make a cracking noise occasionally). AND, I can now cross my right leg over my left, which was very painful and made many yoga positions impossible! I'm very happy, and patiently EXPECTING even better results as my "baby stem cells" reproduce and fill in my damaged cartilage. DON'T even think about knee replacement before you've tried Stem Cells. This is medicine of the FUTURE- and it's available now. I AM a patient, and I will begin speaking to Medicare to fund this type of treatment which is far less invasive, and costs a mere fraction of a knee or hip replacement, is practically painless, and really works!! That's a win-win-win-win!!!
