A Great Cleanse Program with Dr. Rho!

by 0609blackgirl at Citysearch

I just finished a cleanse program recommended and supervised by Dr. Jacqueline Rho. She tailored the cleanse to my needs and I feel great! During and after the cleanse I had alot of energy - I wasn't sluggish or tired.

Also, I suffered from lower back aches due to bad posture; and sore or "achey" heels from walking around alot. The cleanse took care of that - NOT ONE ACHE AT ALL!! I also suffered from adult acne - my face cleared up. I couldn't believe it. I also lost approximately 15 lbs (171 to 156) in three weeks.

Again, I cannot stress how good I feel. Dr. Rho has a beautiful spirit as she is easy to talk to. She is a very thorough naturopath and nutritionist as she taught me how to eat whole, organic foods and warned me about what foods to avoid. Today, I cook (never did before) instead of eating junk or processed foods. I am extremely happy with the results! I highly recommend her.

Restorative Yoga with Katrina: Just what I needed!

by ericderrico at Citysearch

Three months after my second back surgery I am still pretty hesitant to get back into my regular exercise routine. That is why I was so excited to find a Restorative Yoga class so close to my office, in the Back Bay.

The class helped me disengage muscles I didn't even realize I was holding. I left feeling relaxed and my normal sciatic pain was significantly reduced. As a massage therapist I am a huge proponent of restorative because it is a perfect balance to the hectic lives that most of us lead and yet it remains so underrated.

The space is beautiful and Katrina did a great job with the class. Highly recommended!

Must take pilates sessions with Kristen at OMBE

by Jen N at Citysearch

I have spent a few sessions this fall with Kristen R at OMBE and I cannot say enough about her knowledge of the practice and her professionalism. I have had back and hip issues for some time now and every time I leave a session with Kristen, I feel pain-free and rejuvenated. Kristen goes above and beyond the practice of Pilates by sharing her expertise in physical therapy during our sessions and she never pushes me too hard. I appreciate the attention she gives me and I cannot wait until my next session with her. I am going to give her barre class a try in the near future as well. Book your next Pilates session with Kristen!

Pilates with Kristen is THE BEST!

You will be doing yourself an awesome favor if you book private Pilates sessions with Kristen. She is a fantastic instructor who is so sweet and knowledgeable and fun to work under her instruction. Kristen has helped me transform my body to a body I love. I so look forward to my weekly sessions with her and I know attend her incredible barre class, too!

Great yoga!

by BMac11 at Citysearch

I'm new to yoga and OMBE was perfect for me. The staff members were helpful and welcoming - they even have a tea bar! I took a Vinyasa class with Katrina, who was super helpful and attentive. I easily found my rhythm & was able to relax and concentrate while learning some new movements.

I also really appreciated the environmentally friendly practices at OMBE. OMBE has a great atmosphere and is conveniently located in Copley Square. I'd highly recommend it!

Vinyasa overlooking Copley Square, a Boston MUST

by surf is swell at Citysearch

When i walked into OMBE, I didn't really know what to expect. Upon entering I was immediately wow-ed. It had a feeling, sort of like walking into Whole Foods, where you can't really pin point what it is, but something about the space is just welcoming and makes you feel good.

Fortunately, there's more to OMBE than just the vibe. My vinyasa class with Katrina was all about the yoga. It was intimate and personalized in the studio overlooking Copley Square. Here, it was easy to get lost in the flow and challenge myself in new ways.

I find in yoga, it's really easy to "do it wrong". In the intimacy of OMBE and with Katrina's guidance, it was awesome to get minor corrections and also the assurance that I'm doing it just fine. Her attitude toward yoga was encouraging and I'm STOKED for my next class and progression in yoga.

Nicole's massages are amazing! Just what I needed.

by DanielPhoenix at Citysearch

Nicole’s massages are amazing—just what I needed! Her experience and confidence as a massage therapist is unmistakable. Her work is flowing, powerful, and very relaxing. I think “smooth” is the word that best describes my experiences; like my life was smoothed-over—as if there was such a thing that smooths-over your life. Well, there is—it’s Nicole! Even how she communicates with me before each massage: very attentive, caring, and warm. She remembers my requests and my physical limitations every time, so I can just lie back and be in Hawaii (in Boston). Her care also extends beyond my massage with helpful tips and exercises to help my back. Can’t go to Hawaii today? This week? Just get a massage with Nicole; it’s basically the same thing ;)

Massage with Nicole is like Nirvana!

by Nancy E2 at Citysearch

I have been seeing Nicole for massage therapy for many years. I recently visited her at OMBE, where the ambiance is very calm and soothing to the soul. The atmosphere, topped off with Nicole's ability to listen and understand what particular areas I need worked on, was a rewarding experience. I have osteoarthritis in my hands and knees, and chronic tension in my back and shoulders which often results in sciatic pain. She always knows how to apply just the right amount of pressure to loosen up the knots around my shoulder blades. My massage visits to Nicole help me to avoid taking medication, which I would otherwise have to rely on to manage my pain! I highly recommend Nicole as a massage therapist to anyone seeking a pleasurable escape from stress- either physical or emotional.

See Stacey for nutrition!

by ErikaN at Citysearch

Stacey helped expand my palette by introducing me to so many different types of foods. She taught me about the health and environmental benefits of enjoying a diet based in clean whole foods and also how to prepare them to be flavorful. I had no idea that meant something as easy as swapping out pasta or bread for whole grains (kasha and quinoa are my two favorite). Stacey showed me how to also shop for and prepare a wide variety of seasonal vegetables that I would have otherwise turned away from in the grocery store and farmer’s markets, such as kale, collard greens, beets and leeks. She helped me develop a totally new relationship with food and new eating habits. I now make a conscience effort to eliminate or limit packaged foods from my diet; knowing the negative affects that all those preservatives and additives have on my weight and overall health make them less desirable. Stacey also encouraged me to change my exercise routine, which now includes running, biking, yoga and weight training. I recently bought a bicycle and also just completed my 2nd ½ marathon thanks to her support and inspiration. Since working with Stacey, I enjoy eating, have lost about 10 pounds and I feel so amazing in my new body!

Great Massage with Sarah

by LeahBoston at Citysearch

I had a wonderful massage with Sarah this past weekend. I told her that I was preparing for a race and had been having problems with my hamstring while training. I walked out of the massage feeling better than I had since I started my training. I also felt more relaxed and less stressed. The atmosphere of facility was very welcoming, a perfect setting for a massage. I definitely recommend OMBE and massage services offered by Sarah.
