Service: Kinesiology sessions for spiritual, mental health and energy alignment
I had a couple of kinesiology sessions with Fanny for spiritual and mental stuff, and I felt results straight away after the first one. She listens, does a proper chat before starting, and the whole thing felt really pleasant; more than once she noticed things I didn’t mention, like an odd energy block in my face right after I’d had a wisdom tooth removed, and even called out that I hadn’t drunk water that day. She helped me resolve a mental issue and I’ve seen massive progress, so I keep going regularly. I already told my friends and a bunch of them are seeing her now too.

Service: Acupuncture and Chinese medicine
I hired Julien for acupuncture and Chinese medicine and have been seeing him on and off for a few years. He treated my injured arm and helped me get mobility back, and he’s also been helping with menopause issues, with very good results. His English isn’t perfect but he understands and he listens, and if he doesn’t understand he will always ask; he’s very intuitive and speaks French, Spanish and Catalan. I travel about 20 minutes to see him because he knows exactly what he’s doing, he’s incredibly good at his job, and he’s just too generous.

Service: Provided transformational therapy sessions including regressive hypnotherapy.
I contacted Amita after she had helped my kids when they were quite young, and I did her transformational therapy with regressive hypnotherapy. I saw her over about 12 weeks - four sessions every three weeks - with a first phone call, then 3-hour sessions she records, and I listened to the audio every night before bed for three weeks until the next review, with a closing meeting at the end. She was very caring, very warm, very understanding, and I felt safe and held; one time a recording came late due to sound, but the process was easy and even when at first I wasn’t sure it was working, it slowly started to change. It transformed everything I was going through and I literally changed from one state of being into another, and while it felt expensive at the start, in the end it was really worth it.

Service: Remote therapy sessions via Zoom for mental health support
I’ve been doing therapy with Inbar on Zoom for about a year and a half since I’m in Israel and she’s there. She’s very smart and brave, super attentive, gets to the important points and works with them, and it feels like a real process that helped me a lot. She really supports me, especially now with everything going on here, and honestly it’s hard for me to leave her - the only thing I miss is being able to give her a hug at the end of every session. Scheduling was easy, we only had a couple of internet hiccups, and I really recommend her, she’s amazing.

Service: Weekly gestalt therapy sessions including body work and psychotherapy
I’ve been seeing her weekly for about six or seven months for gestalt therapy with psychotherapy, and sometimes we include body work, depending on how I come that day. I’m super happy - I feel more relaxed, more integrated and present, and I feel very safe with her, she’s professional, respectful, open, and really listens. Communication in English is super easy, she’s super available and responsive, scheduling is easy and the one time I needed to change it was no problem. Price felt fair and overall it’s been a super easy, good match.

Service: Acupuncture and Chinese medicine therapy sessions
I was looking for a new professional in Chinese medicine and acupuncture after moving to Barcelona, and I decided to try India after reading about her on Locallista. It was super nice - she’s very committed, easy to speak with, and we clicked very quickly; she speaks Spanish and English, fluently. She even offers a discount to regular customers following the the first session. I’m quite happy and plan to keep attending once a week or at least several times a month. Higly recommend her.
