I found Vie Healing on Yelp a couple of years ago. Owner Mona is gentle and has a pleasant…read morepersonality. The treatment room was clean and comfortable. After having a positive first impression and experience I purchased a series of ten Accupuncture sessions for $1000.00 at the end of my first session. I tried making follow-up appointments on her online appointment system only to be told by Mona that she never got them. She told me I should call her for appointments because the online system was not accurate. Mona was not good at returning calls so booking an appointment required a couple of calls before getting a response from her. For my fourth appointment I left a couple of messages and Mona did not return my calls at all. I ran into Mona about a month ago outside of her new WeHo location. While exchanging greetings and briefly chatting with Mona I reminded her of her failure to return my calls for my last attempt to make an appointment. She stated she'd not gotten my messages and suggested I come in for treatments at the new location. A couple weeks later I stopped by the WeHo location while in the area and although Mona was not in I asked the receptionist to make an appointment. After about ten minutes of failed attempts on the computer she said it was a new system and she'd have to check with Mona to confirm her schedule before booking an appointment. I said I'd call Mona and schedule. I called Mona a couple of times and left messages asking her to call me to schedule an appointment. True to form, Mona did not return my calls. I pre-paid $1000 for a series of ten treatments. In return I received three treatments. Mona's business practices are unprofessional, unethical and dishonest. A huge waste of money and energy. Very disappointing.

When I was around 17 years old I began feeling the debilitating symptoms of sciatica. At this time…read moreI was working out intensely and believe that may have been the cause of this condition. However, I wanted to stay active, so I continued to deal with the sciatica pain after each workout. It got to the point that I couldn't sit in class or lay in bed without feeling the burning discomfort/pain of sciatica on the left side of my body radiating from my lower back down to my foot. This pain had continued up until this year at the age of 21. I had been to chiropractors and gone through months of physical therapy before deciding to finally try acupuncture. Like many people, I was a bit skeptical at first of eastern medicine and how acupuncture could really help me. However, after hearing countless people rave about acupuncture I thought it couldn't hurt and decided to check it out for myself. I went onto yelp, found Vie Healing, and after reading the great reviews I booked an appointment the next week. As soon as I walked into Vie Healing I was greeted by Mona and felt at ease. Like many other clients have stated in their reviews, Mona truly has a radiant, calm, and kind energy that makes you feel instantly relaxed. She answered all of my questions and explained everything she was doing and its purpose throughout the treatment. She is a true expert in her field. After about 40 minutes my treatment was complete and I was in absolute shock. I literally could not feel my sciatica pain at all. It was as if someone had performed some voodoo magic on me. I am telling you there was no more pain whatsoever. Since that first treatment I have been seeing Mona weekly and my sciatica pain has significantly decreased. Here and there I have discomfort but it is nowhere near the level it was before. Anytime I have a flare up it is gone by the end of my treatment with Mona. I can sit in class comfortably, fall asleep without tossing and turning, and even got back onto a regular workout plan without debilitating discomfort. I am so grateful I found Mona and took the leap to try acupuncture. I recommend her very highly and will continue to see her for treatments. If you are not sure whether acupuncture is right for you, trust me, go see Mona. You and your body will be very happy you did.

In just 13 weeks, I lost 26.3 lbs and saw my BMI drop from 33.4 down to 28.7 (moving from Obese Class 1 to Overweight). While the numbers speak for themselves--including losing 4 inches off my waist--the lifestyle habits are what I value most. I've become a consistent morning runner and I actually enjoy it! I'm much more mindful and aware of what I'm eating, my water intake has improved, and for the first time, I find myself looking forward to eating vegetables. Bruno is a one-of-a-kind coach who works with you one-on-one. He is incredibly flexible, understanding, and encouraging. You can tell he truly loves what he does and cares about his clients looking and being at their best--spiritually, physically, and in all the good things.

By including nutrition, fitness, behavior modification, goal-setting, and planning, Dr. Adrienne helped me to achieve not only dramatic and sustained weight loss, but gave me the tools and plan to live my life in a balanced way that set me up for success and not failure. I have previously tried every imaginable weight loss / weight management program including the Atkins Diet, Weight Watchers, Fit For Life, The Mediterranean Diet, the Paleo Diet, etc. you get the picture - all with limited but unsustainable results. And this is not without an extreme amount of knowledge and experience in both fitness and nutrition and a good amount of discipline on my part. The problem was I could never maintain it. The X Factor this time was Dr. Adrienne. She was able to look at my medical history, my patterns of behavior, my attitude, my eating habits, my exercise and training routines and make objective, clinical, real-time adjustments over several months of working with me and monitoring the results. In many ways her approach was scientific, but it was mostly intuitive and human drawing on her years of experience and tailoring it specifically to me. Working with Dr. Adrienne was like having a medical doctor, a nutritionist, strength coach, therapist, life coach, all rolled into one person. In many ways I felt like a world-class athlete getting ready for the Olympics. And this process did not stop once I reached my goals, it continues to evolve and support me in whatever way she thinks it needs to in order to support me. If you want or need a game changer in your life, I would highly recommend you go see Dr. Adrienne.

I sought her help when I started experiencing severe stomach pains and fierce hunger (that nothing would stop!). The pains were so bad I couldn't sleep and the fatigue made things worse. I felt like I was falling apart. I sobbed through the first meeting - the frustration and pain came tumbling out, eager for someone to understand. Luckily, Christy did just that. She didn't start by diagnosing me, we just went appointment by appointment, looking at what I was eating and when, how I felt physically and emotionally, what my activity level was, and how I was sleeping. Just by examining these things (non-judgementally), patterns started to emerge, and we were able to make changes to my diet and lifestyle. I am so happy to report that the stomach pains are gone. When they do flare up, I know that my self-care has gone off track and I can shift things myself so that I feel better. Some people want to talk about the food-emotion connection, some don't. Its my understanding that Christy lets you set the tone. She doesn't push anything on you that doesn't feel right. And, a huge bonus, she is very discreet. She doesn't talk about her other clients and doesn't ask you to write reviews or vote for her... she is a genuine treasure.

The quality of her food brought me awareness of the day to day crap food I would ate daily. I have a complete new view about what not to eat and what is good to eat. After the second or third month of Victoria cooking I started training with her. She has a wide range of workouts which makes it fun. I had suffered a work injury and Victoria was able to work with and around my injury. I'm honestly so impressed with my progress. I'm in the best shape I've ever been in my life.

When you join you get an eval with a physiotherapist, who then meets with the trainers to determine where you, specifically, need to start building strength. I have never in my life been stronger and we even healed a high school knee injury and a recent disc injury. Sessions are efficient and intensive, 30 min (but you can double up for a 60). For semi private, one trainer guides 3 people doing their own program, so it's completely custom and very hands on re: form, etc. The owners, Wayne and Stephen, have created an amazing program and vibe: Supportive, AUTHENTICALLY positive, with trainers who know what they're doing and are so personable.

Or at least my Mama in LA?…read more So... before you Yelp!ers read any further, I should warn you that, in case you didn't sniff it out (no pun intended) from the other reviews, I am about to review my colonic experience. Yeah I know... (listens to awkward silence in the room) ...but actually, once you get over the idea that this is a procedure that could be very invasive to a very private, usually-taboo-to even-your-doctor area... the awkwardness goes away. Seriously. This is by far one of the best ways I've discovered to cleanse my system, clean the pipes so to speak, and though yes I was TERRIFIED at first, now that I've done it... I'm not sure what took me so long. Fatima is one of the best holistic practioners I've ever met. Very professional and organized, and yet also charming and funny. She put me at ease right away, and even held my hand and coached me through when I was feeling nauseated halfway through the experience (my fault for not breathing properly, not hers). And the results are incredible - I just had my first colonic this weekend and already I'm feeling lighter, more energetic and my skin has cleared up. That said, the difference between a colon cleansing that will having you coming back for more versus one that could traumatize you for life is all dependent on the practitioner. PLEASE, this is coming from a self-confessed penny-pinching frugalista... don't cheap out on this one. I mean if you decide to get it done, YES they are really going to stick a tube down there and YES you do want someone as professional, knowledgeable and patient as Fatima and YES it is worth paying the premium for someone of her caliber. So why not just go visit Fatima instead? And seriously, she is NOT expensive. Out of respect for her business I won't mention numbers here, but let's just say she's very realistic about people's means to afford these treatments and will work something out with you if you really want to try this unconventional but very effective procedure. She's very much motivated by providing wellness to her community and is very reasonable with her prices. Cheers to you dear Fatima, thank you SO MUCH for making me feel right at home during what could have been a procedure that went horribly wrong. I will see you soon.
