Acupuncture Treatment Testimonials:
"Thank you so much for helping to treat my varied body problems as well as my anxiety. I really enjoy the sessions with you -- I always feel that the acupuncture makes a huge difference in my life!" -- Alice K.
The acupuncture treatments with Raven, (with physical therapy going on at a later date), have helped in avoiding knee replacement which a surgeon said would be necessary. The acupuncture needles themselves do not hurt but other practitioners are not as delicate and smooth as Raven. I went eight times and enjoyed the benefits from Acupuncture. -- John G.
Raven took such amazing care of me in each session -- I always felt safe and comfortable and in capable, healing hands. Her needle insertion was so gentle, I barely felt them. She has a real gift for putting people at ease and listening closely to what they're saying as well as what they're not saying.
-- Katrina J.
"I went to see Raven to help manage stress, improve my immune system and help with some knee issues. From the first time, I felt relaxed and in excellent hands. She is skilled, compassionate, gentle and focused. I look forward to my treatments with her :) Thanks Raven!" -- Susan S.
Yoga Teaching Testimonials:
“In an era of “trendy yoga”, Raven is the real deal – yoga grounded in a spiritual practice,... it’s about listening to your body. I love the mood Raven creates, her attention to detail, the pace -- she's never in a rush.
-- Sandi H., Cambridge, MA
The impact that Raven's yoga classes has had on my life is twofold. First, they have helped me to control my problem with nausea, which is something that neither my specialist nor any of the medications he prescribed could do. Second, they have made me feel more at home in my body, like it is more in sync with me and capable of doing what I ask it to do.
-- Gretchen G., Los Angeles, CA
"Raven has a warm, welcoming style that immediately made me feel comfortable when I started. Her passion for yoga and other practices, and her genuineness about helping other people, are very evident." -Ally H., Dedham, MA
"Raven’s teachings help me stay calm in my daily life! Taking yoga has been one of the best things I have ever decided to do. Raven is such a great teacher. She is very helpful before, during and after class. She makes you feel comfortable even if you are not doing a pose quite right. She always takes extra time to assist the class members with specific needs. Yoga has been a really important addition to my busy schedule. I feel so good at the end of the class, it is very relaxing. I find myself using some of the yoga in my usual daily routines. The breathing exercises are most helpful.
-- Laurie S.-- Registered Nurse, Boston, MA
"Thanks to Raven I’m back to exercising regularly. Raven’s yoga classes have allowed me to get back in touch with my body after being physically inactive for awhile. I try to practice breathing properly every day and using it to relieve stress. As I go about my day, many times I automatically stop and realign and adjust my body in the ways I have learned in class. Raven, your class is awesome! I love the balance of breathing, stretching, medication and I love the subtle spirituality and the reading at the close of class.
-- Anne Marie D. – College Administrator, Boston, MA
Raven's class provides both the meditative and physical benefits of yoga in a challenging but non-judgmental format.
-- Carol W. – Cancer Researcher, Brookline, MA
Your classes are holistic and I can feel the changes in my body, mind and spirit as a result. You are a respectful, gentle open-minded teacher. The class has been life-altering for me.
-- Joan D. – Test Engineer
