Lori is a kind, compassionate, and incredibly smart practitioner—someone who’s easy to talk to, deeply trustworthy, and an absolute delight to be around. She’s helped me heal both physical and emotional issues, including things I never thought could improve. I travel from afar to see her because she’s truly that good. Her presence is calming, and I always leave her center feeling blissful and balanced. I also really appreciate the thoughtful herbs she gives me—they’ve made a big difference. I’m so grateful to know and work with her. Bonus: the space is charming, conveniently located near the train, with plenty of free street parking.
