The people: Dr. Joe - I followed Dr. Joe from his previous establishment at Space for Wellness. He knows his craft and understands the body to a T. I go to him for chiropractic treatment as I have scoliosis and I've been having neck strains. But his knowledge doesn't stop at chiropractic treatment. He's the guy that people go to when they've been to 10 other doctors about a bodily ailment that can't seem to be healed, and he will most likely than not be able to help you find "a cure". I would highly recommend him to anyone.

Anu - This lady is amazing. The first time I met with her I had no idea what was going on, but hear me out. I felt like I was in a therapy session with some body work being done, but that's just it, the topics that were discussed, and the things that she pointed out, were extremely eye opening and made me really think about things. The 2nd and 3rd time I went back, I can't say enough, when I leave her sessions, I'm always in the most relaxed state of mind and my body always feels so much lighter. She heals by feeling where's there's strain in your body, and because certain parts of your body are tied into different emotions, she'll inquire about certain topics. It's hard to explain.. But she strongly believes that happiness and balance in mind can heal any body ailments - and she helps you reach that balance.

Mila - She's the acupuncturist here and really nice and has a keen understanding of the body as well. I'm fairly new to acupuncture. I always recommend it because I know it's supposed to help with blood flow and just stabilizing your body in general. I've strained my neck twice in the past 2 months and sometimes the sessions would eliminate the pain for a few days and it would be amazing, and other sessions it didn't seem to do much - but I'm not an expert in acupuncture so I can't really judge what should happen each time.

-- The takeaway - It's a great establishment. The people at ShiftPT are here to help and guide you to a balanced and healthier lifestyle and/or helping you heal from a past injury and reach a balanced and healthier lifestyle. Sometimes we just need some help along the way, and the people at ShiftPT will...

The change from where I started on day one to where I am today is hard to believe!

After going through a series of stressful events within a short time, somewhere along the way, I had cut myself off from my body. My body was something I noticed only when it held me back or didn't fit into an outfit like I thought it 'should'. However, the daily bouts of nausea, bloating, fatigue and anxiety finally forced me to pay attention.

Being advised from many different sources that "I needed to come back into my body" I was desperate enough to give it a try but unsure where to begin, or even what that really meant. After reading a blog post by Lindsay on the Parsely Health website, it sounded like Lindsay definitely knew. I thought "she may be the entryway I have been looking for." I was so right.

Her calm, nurturing demeanor immediately made me feel comfortable and willing to share all my concerns and hopes. During the first appointment she listened intently and asked lots of questions. We then went through a few breathing exercises and movements that I could do at home. In this single session I had a taste of the power presence, breathe and movement and left with concrete tools at my disposal.

After just 6 weeks my anxiety is reduced, my digestion issues have disappeared and I wake up eager to start my day connecting to my body and the present moment! A complete 180.

And while I have lost weight and generally feel lighter and full of vitality, the best part of all is the feeling of empowerment knowing that these tools are available to me at any given moment. That is the lifelong gift Lindsay gave me. Profoundly grateful. I will definitely be back and already have a list of friends and family I am...

Tula takes such good care of me! I’ve had successive injuries since Labor Day, and Lauren Lee is helping me heal through a careful progression of exercises, patience, and clear communication. I’m an aerialist and Lauren shows a strong interest in understanding my physical activities and supporting my goals with her expertise. She is a great listener and attentive to detail. She’s also responsive to my questions over email between appointments, and the app she uses to track my PT program is easy to use and enables me to provide feedback on my progress throughout the week.

Adrian Caban is an amazing massage therapist with a strong sports medicine orientation informed by his extensive knowledge of anatomy and movement. He is very intuitive and is helping me correct a number of muscular and postural habits that have made me more prone to injury. He is empathetic and integrates stress management concepts and healthy living advice along the way, which has been tremendously helpful to me. He goes above and beyond and really gives the best massages I’ve ever had! He also offers personal training which I’ll be starting next month and I know that will only further my journey to being stronger and healthier.

Though individual appointments are available, Tula’s packages offer a discount and are flexible to use for any of their wellness services or even to gift to a friend. They don’t take insurance but Anders and Olivia at the front desk have been really helpful with my invoices and sorting out occasional issues with my insurer.

I highly recommend Tula as a practice, and Lauren and Adrian in particular! Whether you need physical therapy, massage, or other wellness services, this is hands-down the...
