What Our Clients Have Said

Working with Deanna has changed my life. Her extensive knowledge, empathy and infectious energy gave me an alternative to back pain and major surgery…After 18 months of hard work I feel as strong and hopeful as ever.

John

Deanna is a wonderful therapist who helped me both physically and emotionally while rehabbing from a total knee replacement. She kept me going when it was tough and definitely made me feel connected and cared for. Highly, highly recommend her, Alexis and Bill. What a great team!

Sue C.

Deanna is not only a well-trained clinician, she has a keen intuitive sense. As I shared with her after our first session together, “I feel seen.” She applies her skills in a deeply personal way, tuning in to what works best for the individual. I highly recommend her.

Wet leaves on the street, occasional sunlight brightening a red leafed tree to fluorescence, kids excitedly walking to school in the morning, catching a bus, coming home with artwork, assignments, and ideas…I think we’re well into fall. I resist the winter, knowing it’ll take FOREVER for spring to arrive. I tell my kids to enjoy every moment of life, every season, all what life brings us…. but have a harder time practicing what I preach. But this year, the year after covid interruptus, I truly am grateful. My youngest goes for her vaccination on Sunday, the winter chill is around the corner and the holidays we “put off” last year, can be created anew, enjoyed together, even if a wee bit differently, just to be safe. The chilly air and temptation to be inside next to a cozy fire, brings with it the opportunity to commune with others, to get to know others through conversation, a meal, comfort and perhaps LESS activity and busy-ness. I’m GOING to be grateful for this opportunity. I’m going to invite a few new people into our lives; a new face at dinner, new stories to share, a new playmate for my kids, maybe someone who I only briefly met, a new school parent or mate of my kids’. I’m going to "commune" as a part of being in this community. I don’t have time, but I do in reality. I can make the time to be with others and help myself and them, feel the chill in the air with a warmth in the heart. Join me.#fallstyle #communitylove #communityfirst #communitysupport

Places anew, peace, friendship....living life
