“I have been seeing Eugenia since Nov 2017. Going on a year and a half! She is absolutely wonderful and very knowledgeable in the wellness space. Eugenia makes sure you understand the lymphatic process of the body and why it’s important. I have had hormonal issues that cause bloating in the stomach area. With lymphatic drainage I have felt much better physically and visually, the area has gone down quite a bit.”

“I had several health issues after having a baby last year. Evgenia helped me with most of these and so much more. I went from bi-weekly to monthly appointments, and I look forward to seeing her every time.”

“Evgenia is fabulous. I was looking for lymphatic drainage massage before a lumpectomy in 2021, and Evgenia squeezed me in. I saw her again after the surgery and monthly for several months. Now it’s every couple of months. I would recommend her to anyone looking to boost immune function and overall health. My 6-month post-surgery scans were completely clear, FYI, and I am certain lymphatic massage has contributed positively to my overall wellness plan!

“This was my first experience doing colon cleansing and I am very satisfied with the experience at Bayarea Colonics! I have an option to go to another clinic that’s closer to me but I’ll go to this one instead because I loved it there. Lana is very professional and everything is top-notch.”

“ I was very nervous to try this new experience. A close friend of mine recommended that this would be a great thing to do. I was very very nervous, but Lana made me feel SO comfortable. She is very gentle, kind, and so very sweet. I feel so light, clean and healthy. I recommend this to everyone. You wouldn’t believe how great it makes you feel. So if you have doubts about doing something like this. Don’t!!!!! It’s worth it. I’m a true believer. Lana is very professional, and has some magic to her that makes you feel that this procedure is like an everyday thing. You got to try it.”

“Lana dose great work and is a very nice person. I visit once a month. I would not want to go any where else for this type of service and I would recomend her to anyone.”

“My experience with Bay Area Colonics was very satisfying and positive. This place has a clean environment and Lana made me feel comfortable during the procedure . It was available anytime and I could make an appointment when I need it. I recommend this place.”

“Bay Area Colonics is great! The experience was absolutely amazing and I felt much better after it. Lana was extremely professional, gentle and understanding. I would definitely recommend anyone considering having a colonic at the Body Awareness Center. I am a regular client now!”

“A miracle doctor! I have a history of a back pain and a friend recommended Dr. Chalov for acupuncture. Just one appointment eased my pain. The doctor recommended to buy couple items to strengthen my muscles what I did. Several days later the pain has gone completely.”

“Vadim was the only one who helped me​ with my lower back problem. I had a ​bulging​ disc​ and nothing would help me to relieve the pain (physical​ therapy​, shots into the disc, medications or chiropractor​) everything had a ​temporary effect. I have​ been advised​ surgery​ but Vadim talked me out of it and I am happy he did.
I did 4 sessions with him after which​ I felt significant improvement​s and my body just started to recover on its own, nothing but a miracle​ :) Vadim knows what he is doing with his needles :)”

“Dr. Vadum is great. I had been going to physical therapy on and off for a few years with a hamstring issue. I decided to try something different and it was the best decision I made.
I did not realize how much chronic pain I was dealing with and know that is all gone.
I am thankful to have found him!”

“Vadim is amazing!
One day I had a terrible headache and I decided to try this kind of treatment. Vadim checked my blood pressure and treated me for that, not some random headache. After 30-40 min I felt like a new person and went on with my day like I wasn’t struggling whole morning.
Next time I called him for a backache and without any twisting and bending but with those magic needles, it was cured. I was super impressed.
I learned from Vadim that he can work on many other problems. I think I found my doctor!‍

”

“Amazingly effective doctor!
I came to him several times: first with a bad stomach that Kaiser Emergency room failed to cure - Vadim put me back to life after just two visits. Last week I had terrible flu with a very high temperature - Vadim brought me back to my normal condition in just one day.
Vadim combines best of Western and Eastern medicine approach and is amazingly effective. My best recommendations to Vadim.”

“Doctor Vadim was highly recommended to me by a very good friend, and I don’t regret it! He is amazing. He addresses deep rooted problems as well as the immediate virus or infection. I came to him insomniac, highly stressed, over tired, with hormonal imbalance, and with violent seasonal allergies. Not knowing where to start, I needed help and someone who would guide me step by step restore normality in my busy life.
A few weeks later, thanks to Dr Chalov’s visits and advice, I knew why I was angry, tired, and depressed and took steps to improve balance in my life. My stress level dramatically decreased, i sleep through the night, my allergy symptoms alleviated, my weekly colds disappeared. Dr Chalov has knowledge of both western and eastern medicine, and combines both to really help his patients. I highly recommend him!”

“I had two very hard pregnancies. I seriously suffered from morning sickness, headaches, stomach problems, mood swings, low blood pressure, low hemoglobin... My regular doctor couldn’t help me. She only wanted to hospitalize me. With my third pregnancy I came to doctor Chalov after I started to experience the exact same symptoms. And in a matter of few appointments he brought me back to life! I started to eat, my stomach stopped hurting. When I finally came to my regular doctor and took all the blood tests they came out all perfect! No traces of what was happening to me the first two pregnancies.I can’t say enough good things about this doctor and about this method of treatment. It’s super effective. It helps where the regular medicine completely fails. Now I keep regularly coming to Dr. Chalov. I know it’ll prevent me from high blood sugar, overeating, and all the other bad things that happen during the late pregnancy. Also, I am looking forward to not having any mood swings and depressions after the baby is born.
All in all I am highly recommending Eastern medicine and this doctor to everybody who has serious chronic diseases. Give it a very good try. I’ll be amassed at how well it works.

“A few weeks ago I had a Body Therapy session with Shawna. I really wanted to see her in person to experience what she offers and since I live relatively near by, it was easy to do so. I am so happy that I did. Her healing touch, wise words and insightful intuitions all came together and left me feeling a bliss and healing I have not experienced previously. I have been to many alternative healers, yet none have left me feeling the way Shawna did. We all have emotional issues to deal with and if you have no physical ailments, well great. I, however, had some things I have been dealing with, a compressed vagus nerve bringing me a lot of issues to name one. In one session Shawna assisted me in feeling so much better.
I will return to Shawna because it takes more than one session to clear away decades of gunk, either spiritually or emotionally, that cause imbalances in our system. If you can see her in person, her light massage releases so much, along with her spiritual wisdom and connection to a higher power. I know that an online session will have the same affect, since energy is energy and can be accessed even through the internet. Thank you so much Shawna for the healing.

”

“My healing session with Shawna Ristic was awesome! She is so intuitive and picked up on several truths to help guide me. I am so grateful that I met her. She has such a bright light and is in tune with divine guidance. I will definitely tell my friends and family about her and go back to her when needed. I received so much clarity in my session. It is obvious that she cares deeply about others and emanates love! Thank you Shawna! ”

“Shawna truly carries within her, shamanic energy. The bodywork she did on me had a tremendous psychological and physical effect. I could feel all the energetically blocked parts in my body opening up and circulating fully as Shawna worked through my entire body. She is deeply nurturing, extremely grounded, and profoundly caring. With just one session you will experience a radical shift in your mind, body, and spirit. Shawna is undeniably gifted, and she uses her gifts to heal, elevate, and hold her clients with deep reverence. I highly recommend her if you’re looking to be transformed. ”

“Things have shifted for me so much in the last month. I feel like Shawna has sensed very well what I was/am going through, and the confirmation of moving towards the witness state is a blessing. I am not forgetful anymore of being present. So that is great.
I feel like the pain has been dealt with, and now I can reap the benefits of this period. Thank you Shawna for the consult and the connection with the guides and loving beings. It feels like I am carried.
More time will be spent on feeling that basic barometer of expansion or contraction. Thanks for breaking it down into simplicity.”

“I strongly recommend Shawna Ristic’s services. I am forever grateful for her insight, perspective and just listening to me without judgement but with love and acceptance. Her remarkable intuition is beyond anyone I have ever me. She has shown me my past childhood traumas and faults were my way of handling different events in my life.
Another great bonus Shawna does that other therapist don’t is she records the session and send you two copies one video and one just audio. It has helped me sort through my thoughts an extra value that others don’t include.
If you are feeling stuck in life Shawna has insight to help you where you are in life and get you back on track.
I hope to be a lifelong client or patient of hers!”

“It was such a pleasure meeting you yesterday. I cannot express how much relief and gratitude I am feeling after our work. I have worked with therapists for years and got so much validation and hope from our 1 1/2 hours than I ever got in 15 years of therapy. Thank you so much for your kindness and the work you do!!!
”

“My first session with Shawna and I didn’t know what to expect. In fact, I came into the session without a hard agenda, but rather with the intention to enjoy the time with her. Whatever may come to me, I would be grateful. She was good at sensing my energy, feeling a hard outer shell and a soft inner core. She taught me how to feel body sensations to understand myself better instead of keeping it all up in my mind. When it went overtime, she was still very patient and didn’t feel pressed to close the conversation like a business. Much appreciated. Now the big challenge is to integrate my lesson into daily life. Thank you for Shawna’s service.”

“I had been to Shawna in 2017 for a massage and relief of my shoulder. But by the end of the massage she had been able to connect my right side energy with the left side. It just felt wonderful and a produced a magical feeling . I had a heart valve replaced in 2011 and I had not been able to merge the energies, to feel connected and whole. She began by working on my shoulder as it would very often drop on the right and then the connection of the two sides happened. I just love her energy, her magical hands and wonderful heart.
I am a living example of her healing abilities. She also helped me cure my severe case of shingles on my right hand and shoulder that appeared November 2017 and lasted till March 2018.It was her intuitive, soulful method and her soulful intentions to work with one’s body with utmost love that I is curing me. I still cannot fold my hands behind my back, but I can bend my elbow and raise my arm thanks to Shawna.
With me, she works mostly on flushing the lymph nodes and calming the nervous system. For me, she has given me a new way to look at life and aliments. I highly recommend Shawna to anyone who needs healing and calming nervous system.””

“Shawna is a highly skilled bodyworker, much more than a massage therapist, physical therapist or chiropractor. I had a stroke in March 2015 and she is a key part of my recovery. She focuses on my nerve pathways and lymph system. I can feel and see the difference after every session. We are very fortunate that she decided to relocate to Santa Cruz. Highly recommended for recovery from any kind of trauma and for chronic pain.””

“I have been going to Shawna for many years now and I highly recommend her! I started going to her for massage therapy following a serious car accident and after just the first visit had more range of motion and a lot less pain. I loved going to her so much that I visited her during my pregnancy which helped with back pain, sciatica, and overall relaxation. I trusted her so much that I brought my baby in several times for infant massage, which I also highly recommend! I have joked for a long time now that I not only go to her for massage therapy but also emotional therapy. She is wonderful and by far the best massage therapist I have ever been to!!!”

“One of the best massages I’ve ever had! Before the massage she asked me if anything hurt, or if she should focus on any areas. I told her that my lower back and neck were a bit tight. She was able to focus on the lower back and neck, and helped stretch my legs, arms, and lower back. She was able to apply good appropriate pressure. I find that a lot of massage therapists aren’t able to apply enough pressure, but that was no issue for Rei, the pressure was perfect, and at the end of the massage I felt loose and relaxed. Would definitely recommend and go again!”

“I was very satisfied with her massage! She took enough time to do counseling to provide me with good care for pregnant before starting massage. I’d like to recommend her to not only for pregnant but everyone!”

“If you want deep tissue, this is the massage for you! It can be painful, but your body feels amazing afterwards! Rei will customize the massage for you, so you don’t have to go that hard, but I love it!!”
