Testimonials

"Dr. Jackie has been great to work with over the last few months. She’s fixed my running form. Taught me the proper way to lift and that stretching doesn’t have to be painful. The space is ever changing for the better and turning into a cool little community. I know if I pick up another running injury that I’m going right back."

"I’m in my 50’s and have been trying to regain my strength after injury and surgery for breast cancer. I had been struggling for years with back pain and shoulder pain every time I tried to start working out again. Erica quickly identified the sources of my pain, taught me proper posture and stretches for working out, and got me back to a place where I can work out on my own again. I highly recommend them"
