Service: I came to her because of an allergy to animals and treatment dust
I was initially hesitant, but working with Daphna has truly changed my life. I came to her for help with my allergies, and I've noticed a significant improvement physically and mentally. Her clinic is always clean and welcoming, and scheduling is a breeze with her responsiveness on WhatsApp.

Service: Reiki sessions to manage stress & trauma
When I first started Reiki sessions with David, I was overwhelmed by day-to-day stress and past traumas. Over the six years I've known him, he has become an integral part of my journey to mental well-being with his deep understanding and versatile approaches. His calm and welcoming office feels like a second home, and his flexibility in scheduling has been a lifesaver during urgent moments.

Service: Shiatsu acupuncture and cupping
Finding a practitioner who genuinely listens and tailors their approach to individual needs is indeed rare. Eyal's expertise in shiatsu, acupuncture, and cupping left me feeling rejuvenated with long-lasting relief. I highly recommend his services to anyone seeking a natural improvement in their health.

Service: Craniosacral therapy session for client's son with follow-up recommendations
Suzanne did craniosacral therapy for my son and I’m super happy with her. She replied to my messages straight away - the response was very quick - and she took the time to get to know my son, he felt comfortable with her and she made some good suggestions of what to do further. We already have another session planned for Monday and I’ll ask her what she recommends next.

Service: Chest pains, the doctors did not offer a solution and I turned to alternative medicine
I sought help for chest pains and heart palpitations after doctors told me there was no solution. From the first session with Daniella, I felt relief and was finally able to sleep after being in pain for so long. Her extensive knowledge and the calming atmosphere in her clinic made all the difference, and I'm grateful for her expertise.

Service: Biofeedback Therapy
Marta from Biofeedback Therapy has been a fantastic find for me. Her Biofeedback Therapy have shown effectiveness right from the first session, and I've made it a regular part of my routine. She's got an exceptional ability to tailor the sessions to my personal needs, which I greatly appreciate. Whether I'm at her clinic or receiving treatment at home, the spaces are always clean and convey a sense of safety. Plus, reliability is top-notch; there have never been any delays or rescheduling issues. Highly recommended for anyone considering biofeedback therapy!
