Through a combination of techniques we worked gently through some spasming muscles and tension in muscle groups I hadn't realized were all connected! The session was unhurried and she gave me a vocabulary for describing how things felt and techniques to maintain the level of relaxation we'd achieved. The pain was so reduced that that night I got my first full night of sleep since the injury!

The moment I met Jesse, I was immediately struck by the warmth and compassion she exudes. In our…read moreconsultation she not only talked about her perspective and qualifications as a doula, but also took the time to really get to know me as a person, what I wanted and needed from a doula, and what my fears and hopes were for my birth. I felt like I was talking to a friend rather than having a consultation for services. Jesse also went into detail about specific strategies she would use in labor in my pursuit of a VBAC, demonstrating her wide skill set, and showing me that not only is she emotionally apt, but also highly qualified in the physical aspect of what she does--unlike many doulas, she is not just there primarily for emotional support. That combined with her lovely personality made me feel confident in choosing her to assist my birth. During active labor, Jesse beyond exceeded our expectations. She had a strong intuition about what my body needed and when, clearly developed over her training as a doula and massage therapist, but what is also an obvious innate talent. She pushed me to try strategies outside of my comfort zone as well as respected my limitations and needs. She was a source of both comfort and strength, helping me work through every contraction, repositioning me to get my sunny-side-up baby to spin, making sure I was hydrated, involving my partner, massaging and applying gentle touch, and so much more. She stayed with us throughout my labor that lasted the span of two days, an unwavering touchstone. My daughter was successfully born by VBAC, and I don't know if I could have done it without Jesse. I heard multiple nurses comment on how great a doula she was, and also one said to me directly how lucky I was to have her, because she was one of the best she'd ever worked with. After birth, Jesse stayed with us for longer than an hour to make sure we were settled, and then arranged to get us food from our favorite restaurant to feed the ravenous post-labor hunger, which was quite far away. She absolutely went the extra mile for us in every way. Also, Jesse was willing to work with my husband and I on price. She believes all people should have access to a birth doula, and it is so deeply appreciated. I wholeheartedly recommend Jesse to any laboring person and couple. Her dedication and care just make my heart burst with gratitude.

I went to her because my neck was causing me daily discomfort. She made me aware that my neck problem actually stems from my upper back being tight from stress. She used plenty of pressure, but somehow I was not cringing and tightening counterproductively as I usually am with more intense massages. Her prices are reasonable, with my 1 hour massage costing $75. I immediately suggested her to my husband for his needs as well. I highly reccommend her. P.S. She doesn't work out of her house, despite a prior review. She has a cute office at a yoga studio.

I was treated so rudely and asked if " I was f---ing kidding " a simple I close at 4 would you prefer another day or time would certainly have been a better response. She then proceeded to follow up with a bunch of extremely rude texts calling me entitled and demanding. Calling a business asking g for an appointment I hardly consider demanding or entitled. She proceeded with "others who come in off boats and demand appointments and she doesn't know their personal hygiene or mine. Nothing to do with my calling for an appointment. I have had many messages and usually find a masseuse to be kind and caring. She is from that. She is angry and extremely unprofessional calling me "Karen" in her ridiculous texts which she never should have been texting me in the first place!

Jane had a conversation with me before my first visit so we both understood what to expect. My requests were a little, shall we say different! Jane was perfect in every way.

I highly recommend you check out Jane and her staff for a massage or any of the other programs they offer there. She is one special lady

The classes are mostly restorative, so don't expect to be breaking a sweat in most classes. However, if your purpose in doing yoga is relaxation and stretching, this is your place. A few things I wish they'd improve - first, the parking is very cramped. Don't get me wrong, I'm grateful in downtown Bristol for any parking...but it can be hard to get in and out. Second, their schedules occasionally change without notice so make sure to check the website (NOT the paper schedule they hand out). Finally, they have lovely paper decorations hanging all over the studio, which get in the way for standing poses. Not a huge fan of those- they kind of impeded my warrior poses. Overall, a calming great place to practice and I'll certainly be back! I loved getting to trial different instructors. They round out my yoga practice, as I like a variety of styles & intensity levels. This would be a great place to being a more novice yoga practitioner, someone with an injury, or someone seeking a meditative/relaxing class.

No more driving around looking for on street parking. Yay! They have only been here a few weeks, so decor is still in the works. There look to be two sauna rooms and I think 3 massage rooms (maybe 4?) They share a vestibule with a law office, then have a separate entrance on the right. The outside, and inside entrances are well marked. GPS took me to the wrong location. Wanted me to drive thru a tree line between the neighboring building...just turn off Main St. into the Village on Vine parking lot. They are near the middle of the building. Same great service from their personable team of masseuses.

While on an extended stay in Bristol, I had the pleasure of attending Pilates classes at this…read morestudio. The owner and sole instructor, Erin, is the heart and soul of the practice! Erin is fantastic and "spot-on" about helping you modify your poses in order to attain proper form in both mat and reformer classes. She is also motivating, inspiring and extremely accomplished in Pilates. If a pose is particularly difficult, Erin takes a moment to demonstrate the correct form. The classes are challenging and dialogue during class kept at the bare minimum (sometimes I can barely breathe, let alone talk, because of the intensity of the work)! I am sore (in a good way) later in the day and into the next day after a class. I clearly see a more defined muscle tone after attending two classes a week for a month and it just got better after several months. Erin is a professional and takes her work seriously (without being overly serious herself) and wants every attendee to get the most out of the time spent in her studio. The studio is clean (even by my germophobic standard) and neat. The original tin cut-out ceiling (which, of course, we look at the most) adds a nice touch to the physical surroundings. Sign-up and attendance items are efficiently handled and do not detract from class time. As a nice bonus, Erin will introduce attendees to each other; which can simply generate good will during the class or can result in friendships (depending on your own inclination). Everyone in the classes I attend is friendly and the intensity of the classes does not really give room for others to be checking you out and judging. I'm addicted and will return to Aligenmentz any chance I get. It is Erin's voice I hear in my head now that I have returned to Pilates in California.
