  • “Edna is a wonderful therapist! We worked together using EMDR and FLASH… two modalities that I was unfamiliar with. She was very thoughtful, caring and supportive. I highly recommend Edna to anyone that is ready to work through trauma.”

    — Dara

    “This provides a summary of my EMDR experience with Edna earlier this year.

    BACKGROUND:

    I was having ongoing fears when driving in any unfamiliar location. The fear had been growing in intensity over the past couple of years and I even started having the same anxiety driving in very familiar places.

    As you can imagine this fear was making my life fairly limited as I would restrict my activities to prevent having to drive in situations that would activate my fear & anxiety.

    EMDR EXPERIENCE:

    I started working with Edna, and was surprised at how easy and unintrusive the process was. Edna and I went through my history and the various upsetting moments of my life. And I was surprised that we were exploring things other than my fear of driving.

    But after just a few weeks of working together I started noticing a shift in my everyday interactions. Things that would normally cause a great deal of agitation—like pressure from my boss—no longer got to me. In the past, when getting pressure at work my first thought would be “what did I do wrong?” That was the first thing that really shifted for me. I simply stopped doubting myself in many situations. I felt more calm & in control.

    Then, over a few weeks, stress while driving became minimized. And ironically we never even focused directly on driving situations. By chipping away at underlying contention from my childhood it resolved many areas of my life today. Fear of not being in control, of being or getting lost had been paralyzing me while driving. And it simply stopped after just a couple months of EMDR.

    Edna you were wonderful to work with! What a life change! Thank you for giving me the opportunity to work together.”

  • "Kathleen is an excellent massage therapist. She tended to my specific needs as a dancer with the utmost professionalism and integrity, and she worked with me to develop a tailored treatment plan. I have noticed quite a difference in how I feel physically since I started working with Kathleen, and I'm not in so much pain when I dance. I have nothing but positive things to say!"

    —Hannah, Professional Dancer

    “I saw Kathleen for my first session and immediately could tell her work was improving the tension in my body. She was communicative about every step and checked in on how things felt during the process. As someone who has never gotten a massage and was feeling nervous about the session, she made it so comfortable and was beyond professional. Kathleen made my first experience enjoyable and rewarding. Cannot wait for our next session.”

    —Atarah, Montessori Educator

    “I had such a great acupuncture appointment with Alison, who I found to be a very thoughtful, empathetic, and well versed healer. She really listened to me and tailored the session to suit my needs. Looking forward to my next appointment.”

  • “Chelsey is the best yoga teacher I've had the privilege of working with! She is a warm, open and kind instructor who pushes you to expand. Her adjustments alone are worth it all! I would leave class feeling zen, grounded and powerful. Highly, highly recommend and love Chelsey!"

    — Danielle M., Teacher

    “Chelsey is an excellent teacher. She has deep expertise in numerous disciplines across yoga and body work and combines them in a way that enables a wonderful experience for body and mind. Her energy is excellent and she is passionate about what she does and it shows. Strongly recommend her for those discerning yogis."

    — David G., Global Investment Entrepreneur

    “With the flexibility of a former dancer and the limitations of a person suffering from ankylosing spondylitis, it is often hard to find movement practice that suits my unique combination of needs. My private session with Kathleen was everything I could've hoped for. She quickly grasped the kind of practice that was right for me and gave me one of the best yoga flows of my life. Her tailor-made classes and brilliant somatic insights make her a stand-out teacher for bodies of all kinds!”

    — Meagan I., Writer

    “I started private yoga sessions with Kathleen in April of 2020 as a complete newbie. In less than five months I've seen a dramatic improvement in my posture as well as my energy levels and mental health. She is a phenomenal instructor who is willing to tailor sessions to her client's individual needs and can roll with the punches when I say "Hey, I don't think I can handle anything more difficult than stretches and restorative poses today," or "You know, this morning I want something fast paced that will make me sweat." Starting sessions with Kathleen was one of the best decisions I've made for my wellbeing in 2020, and I would wholeheartedly recommend her private classes, particularly for newbies, people with limited mobility, or for those to whom big group classes seem daunting.”

    — Kristina F., Historic Preservation Specialist

  • “I am a newbie to Rolfing - I must say it was a very pleasant experience. 90 minutes plus the recommended exercise is making a big difference in my everyday life. It helped to relieve my carpal tunnel and neck pain. You are worth the trip. Highly recommended by your peers - and definitely would recommend you to my friends. Thank you so much.”

    — Evie S., Financial Consultant

    “When I decided to try Rolfing with Chelsey, I was expecting to be happy with my results. I wasn't however, expecting to notice results as quickly as I have nor that it would have such a drastic positive effect in my life in such a short period of time.Chelsey is amazing at her work and a wonderful human being. She is truly passionate about her work and her clients. Her amazing energy makes me feel such as ease; she patiently listens and addresses my concerns more than any Doctor ever has.After our first session, my body changed completely. Daily autonomic functions and second nature tasks that usually go unnoticed, have become noticeably effortless, such as exercising, walking, sitting and breathing! Yes! Breathing! My confidence has increased as I no longer feel self-conscious about certain aspects of my body that she has corrected, and my posture.I am now on my 6th session of the 10 series ‘Recipe’. Once we are done, I plan to continue my healing journey with Chelsey by doing regular maintenance either with Rolfing or Thai Body Work; at which she is amazing at as well. I will also begin Private Yoga.”

  • “Heidi Schaul-Yoder really is a particularly talented therapist. She somehow manages to stay with you -- emotionally and cerebrally -- through the whole session. She is gentle and kind but also wise and skilled. I felt like I was with a really smart person who cared about me and also really knew what she was doing. She helped me understand myself better and with more compassion. She's a rare thing.”

  • “All I can say is wow. Thai Bodywork was so useful for relieving tension in my hip in a way that no other type of bodywork has been able to. The practitioners at BMC are extremely knowledgeable and professional. They check in to make sure the pressure is just the way you like and I find the techniques to be very healing. I will absolutely be going back and highly recommend that anyone try Thai Bodywork.”
