Mandy presented the program which I was looking for, namely providing weight loss as outlined in the book "The Prime" in an easy, understanding way with future support. I was looking for the holistic way to approach weight loss with Ayurvedic medicine and well-being with use of natural Indian herbs. Denise Deveau

I want to help you take control of your health and wellbeing. Whether you need a massage, yoga or some lifestyle counseling, I'm here to help. My training in Ayurveda allows me to see the body holistically and gives me the tools to support you in achieving vibrant health. As a licensed massage therapist and yoga instructor I am often able to ease pain and discomfort or offer stress relief to those in need.
If you are looking for ways to manage stress, reduce pain, or even change some behaviors, look no further. You will find me to be a compassionate listener who is ready to give you the level of support that you need.

I have never felt better! I came to Mandy with itchy, red, welty skin. She put me on a cleanse and gave me herbs to take after. She is not pushy at all and is available throughout the whole process to answer questions and help. I felt completely supported and safe in her care. I'm a week post cleanse, taking my herbs. My skin has calmed down and a HUGE plus, my seasonal allergies are not effecting me this year, at all. I Highly recommend this woman.

I like the space Mandy works out of and I also like the fact that she is able to partner with other practitioners to utilize different modalities. I feel like I am in the right place and am receiving the best care available.

I was so relaxed during my massage, and because of that I felt all the stress and tension melt away. The massage felt like a dance, so effortlessly Mandy moved from area to area and enabled me to let go. Overall it was a great experience.

The visit started right on time. The office feels like anything but an office--very warm and comforting. Mandy had tea made, and poured me a cup immediately. It's a place where I felt assured that I'd receive professional care and guidance, just without the sterile, stuffy nature of some offices.
