TESTIMONIALS
“Alyssa is such an incredible pelvic floor therapist! After experiencing both a C-section and VBAC with my sons, my body felt wrecked. As a personal trainer and fitness instructor I was struggling with things like stress incontinence, making classes and workouts pretty defeating. I came to Alyssa wanting to feel like myself again. I was skeptical and nervous about seeing someone for my pelvic floor issues, but Alyssa made the entire process so smooth and made me feel comfortable every step of the way. The moment I sat down with her and shared my issues, all of my fears in this department went away. Alyssa is beyond professional and incredibly knowledgeable in women’s health. She has helped heal my pelvic floor and core, and given me every tool necessary to come back even stronger than I was before having kids. Not only was every one of my concerns addressed, but Alyssa went above and beyond to set me up for success long-term as I hope for baby number three. I now have an abundance of tools in my toolbox and feel like her space and skill sets will keep me strong throughout motherhood. I cannot imagine my life without having found her!!”

"My partner and I took Emma's childbirth class in the spring. Emma's a great instructor, very engaging and compassionate. Great place to ask questions and learn what to expect leading up to childbirth, during and after. Emma made us feel comfortable to ask any questions we had, no matter how silly they seemed. I felt much more prepared and a lot less anxious thanks to the class." -K
"I have always struggled with very severe PMS symptoms, but was never really educated about what was happening to my body. I must have gone through at least eight different types of the pill and even an IUD. My pediatric doctor prescribed birth control for me at thirteen. I went from taking birth control every day of every month to avoid PMS at all costs, to not taking any birth control and having periods that come and go in a breeze. I have learned how to regulate my blood sugar, hormones, and eating habits. Michelle helped me realize that pushing myself in an unhealthy way to reach my goals was not the answer. I needed someone to be patient with me so that I could go at a pace that was healthy for me and that person was Michelle. Michelle was not at all what I was expecting a health coach would be like. She was so much more. This has been one of the most amazing experiences of my life. I'm so lucky to have had this opportunity. I would recommend Michelle to anyone!" -B
“I could not be more grateful to have had Emma by my side during the birth of my first child. She was wonderful as my doula! I was in the hospital five days and Emma was supportive throughout. She was available for questions and even just emotional support as I waited and experienced medical interventions. She gave suggestions for me to think about and helped me to make my choices. Emma was never pushy or coercive; I just appreciated and relied on her experience helping other women through labor and delivery. When I was in labor for 11 hours, Emma was there by my side and provided an amazingly calm, gentle, supportive, and encouraging presence. She guided me through the entire process in a beautiful way. Thank you, Emma!” -C
“As a female, when you go to a specialist you hope for someone who will take the time to connect and genuinely acknowledge your concerns, truly listen, give genuine feedback, and care about you as a patient and as a person. All of that I found in Alyssa. She sought to build a relationship with me and work with me at my level all the while motivating me with kind guidance towards the goals we set together for my health plan. As a middle-aged woman with several complex chronic symptoms I dealt with for years, multiple doctors brushed over my concerns. Alyssa validated me and spent time problem-solving to help get to the root of all the issues I was having. I am grateful that in all that she did as part of my healthcare team she sought to hear my voice, respond to my needs, and lay out achievable goals that have enabled me to make huge progress. I am living a physical quality of life that used to be just a hope for me and I am convinced it was because of working with Alyssa. It is without hesitation that I would recommend her to any woman who is looking for quality care.” -E
"Michelle has helped me maintain a healthy blood sugar and in turn my body has actually reacted so well! I've lost 13lbs just by fueling my body with what it needs. As someone who has struggled with an eating disorder in the past, this is something that is truly mind-boggling. It really showed me how when I give my body what it needs, it will thank me and regulate to where I need to be. My main goal was not weight loss, but it just happened naturally. I think the coolest part is that this experience is just as much mental as it is physical. I'm most proud of the way my mind has shifted in my relationship with food. The best part of the program was just the support from Michelle and how easy it was to talk to her. I would recommend my coach to anyone who is looking to balance hormones, needs nutritional direction, or just for overall health and wellness.” -A
“My husband and I attended Emma's Childbirth Education 3-course series and we both loved it. It's abundantly clear that Emma is very passionate and knowledgeable about the topics covered. Her educational style is conversational and welcoming of questions. She's the well-educated friend that all expecting/new mamas would be lucky to have in their corner. I would not hesitate to have Emma as my doula. Thanks, Emma, for helping these expectant parents feel better prepared for labor, delivery, postpartum, and even newborn care!” -W
