"The surroundings at OMBE are WONDERFUL and extremely RELAXING."
The surroundings at OMBE are wonderful and extremely relaxing. The massage therapist-Kristen Lutz-was very professional and caring. It was a great experience and one that I will share with anyone willing to listen!
"...at OMBE you will find the care COMPASSIONATE and PROFESSIONAL; the environment calm, "green" and beautiful..."
Acupuncture works! And at OMBE you will find the care compassionate and professional; the environment calm, "green" and beautiful. I came to Jessica not long ago looking for relief from the arthritis pain that had suddenly developed in my right hip. At the time, I was experiencing pain doing the most basic things, like walking, dancing, even driving. This was hugely distressing. But after a few acupuncture treatments, the pain started to subside and I felt like I could manage the disease, even be cured of it. Today, I am happily doing Pilates at OMBE, am in the gym again regularly, riding my bicycle to work in the good weather, and as an added benefit, I have been free of colds and flu for 2 winter seasons (acupuncture immune boosts are great!). And on top of that, I've been released from my lifetime needle phobia! What more can I say-the experience at OMBE has been the best!
"LISA GRODSKY offers the best of both worlds-PILATES and PHYSICAL THERAPY!"-Anonymous
Lisa Grodsky offers the best of both worlds-Pilates and physical therapy! I feel comfortable knowing that my Pilates instructor has a background in physical therapy. It's important to me to work with someone who understands my injuries and limitations but knows how to push me just enough. Her Pilates mat class rocks-you get so much one-on-one time, you might as well be doing a private session.
"I am so much HAPPIER and less stressed out about food and I feel great. I cannot THANK you enough for your GUIDANCE"-MH
"Laura, I was in to see you maybe two months ago to discuss my struggle getting off some baby weight. You talked to me about ... Intuitive Eating and suggested that it might be a good fit given where I was in my desire to stop dieting and obsessing over food. I wanted to let you know that this has been amazing for me. I am working my way through the book, and while I recognize this new philosophy of eating will take time to fully incorporate to my life, it has already had a huge impact on me. I am so much happier and less stressed out about food and I feel great. Of course it doesn’t hurt that I have also happily begun to shed a few more pounds! It feels effortless and natural. I cannot thank you enough for your guidance. It was exactly the help I needed and I wanted to let you know that.
"...JEN'S hands are truly MAGICAL and have kept me away from the operating room and a regular on her table." -Vanessa F., Public Policy Associate, Age 26
I have suffered from chronic back pain my entire life. I have intense scoliosis, so intense in fact that my spine is the spitting image of the letter "S". I thought I was condemned to a lifetime of pain, that was until I met Jen Hernandez. Jen made my back feel as it had never felt before. Her deep knowledge of the skeletal and muscular systems allowed her to "figure out" how my back was unique and different from most. She was so sensitive to the muscles in my back that were most affected by my curved spine, and when I went to her with severe pain, I left feeling better than I had ever even thought I could feel. The strength in her fingertips alleviated the tension in my shoulders every single time, and I'm not joking when I say that her work gave me an entirely new outlook on my life. I had always assumed that my pain was permanent and back surgery was my only option out. Jen changed that for me and gave me part of my life back. Jen's hands are truly magical and have kept me away from the operating room and a regular on her table.
"LAURA FORESTA, you have solved the weight-loss puzzle of my adult life with intuitive eating!"-EN
Laura Foresta, you have solved the weight loss puzzle of my adult life with intuitive eating! First you taught me what my body needs to be nourished and then you suggested I investigate this new way of thinking about food and eating. Little did I know all that would happen.....in three weeks I lost 5 lbs., my blood sugar is better than it has been in 3 years, I am waking up early and full of energy, and truly feel like I have a new lease on life. Since I have been paying attention to what I eat, I now know what being hungry feels like. I have discovered that sometimes I mistake "hunger" for thirst, fatigue, or boredom. This new lifestyle for me is affecting other areas of my life as well....I am now mindful of each moment and find myself feeling calmer and enjoying things. I almost feel a spiritual change because of this new philosophy. Most of all I feel healthier and so much more hopeful about the future. I have been trying to lose weight for the last seven years unsuccessfully and now quite abruptly you seem to be helping me to reset my metabolism. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping me so much on this fascinating journey. My life is richer for all that you are teaching me and I feel in control, revitalized and on the cusp of something great, I can't wait to see what will happen next.
"As a registered nurse, I rely on and believe in the efficacy of western medicine. However, I've been AMAZED by the power of ACUPUNCTURE..." -Jocelyn K., Registered Nurse, Age 23
As a registered nurse, I rely on and believe in the efficacy of western medicine. However, I've been amazed by the power of acupuncture to address problems I could not find successful treatment for in traditional western medicine. Acupuncture has made me feel more healthy than I have ever felt before and Jessica Molleur is a truly inspirational healer and practitioner.
"...The PILATES class I've been taking with LISA is great..." -Desi R., Graduate Student, Age 29
I was having a lot of issues with sciatica for about a year. The worst part of it was my complete inability to manage pain-I would get flare ups from nothing. The acupuncture treatment changed that completely. I had a steady curve of getting better and better. I got my life back. The Pilates class I've been taking with Lisa is great. The exercises are really good and she does a great job addressing my health condition.
"LAURA provided my husband and I with a NUTRITIONAL CONSULT. She is extremely KNOWLEDGEABLE and ENERGETIC, with a passion for her work."-MM"
Laura provided my husband and me with a nutrition consult. She is extremely knowledgeable and energetic, with a passion for her work. She also thought outside the box meeting our needs rather than imposing the needs of the institution or her agenda onto us! Talking with a professional about nutrition and weight can be a very sensitive process; Laura made us feel so extremely comfortable and we went away with knowledge and skills so that we could manage our health decisions...which of course is the goal!"
"...JEN creates a very SERENE, meditative atmosphere in her massage space adding to the whole experience..." -Sylvia P., Registered Nurse, Age 38
I have had several massages with Jennifer Hernandez. Jen is an excellent massage therapist. She has very strong hands and a good technique for accessing deep fascia. She listens well to my needs/concerns and focuses her efforts where I ask. Jen creates a very serene, meditative atmosphere in her massage space adding to the whole experience.
"I have recommended the OMBE center to my family, friends, and colleagues."-Laura C., Scientist, Age 46
Jessica and the OMBE Center has been a life saver for me. When I moved to Boston a few years back, I developed fibromyalgia and was having a difficult time using my hands and moving in general due to severe pain. Through weekly acupuncture sessions, the fibromyalgia is under control and I have gained confidence to try exercising and get my health back. Jessica is an excellent practitioner who is very intelligent and sensitive to my needs. I recommended the OMBE center to my family, friends, and colleagues. More recently, with Jen Hernandez, I have had the opportunity for intensive body work. I need deep massage to work out the tension in my muscles and joints that can happen with fibromyalgia, especially in the cold weather. Jen has a great ability to work out the knots and can provide varying strengths of pressure, depending on what I need that day. I usually request foot reflexology which is a great way to distress my whole body in a short period of time.""LAURA asked me a lot of questions to get a sense of my NUTRITIONAL needs and my lifestyle and then offered direction that worked within both." -EW
I value not only the information you offered, but the additional resources you provided. The handouts and the websites were helpful resources and a good reminder of the information we discussed. I appreciate your style of communication. You asked me a lot of questions to get a sense of my nutritional needs and my lifestyle and then offered direction that worked within both. There was nothing "cookie cutter" about your advice. The tailored plan really works!
