WHAT OTHERS SAY

LightSpace provides one on one, customized instruction tailored to address your unique needs and goals – helping you find healthier and more efficient movement in every aspect of your life. Here are what our clients have to say about our services:

I first came to LightSpace when I was training for my second marathon. My entire body felt beat up after only several weeks into my training schedule. Before coming to LightSpace, I tried yoga and massages which never fundamentally made me feel better. Then I tried a private session at LightSpace and came out feeling like a new person. I was instantly hooked. The first session was almost magical - I laid on the Cadillac, tried to activate muscles (think pelvic and “core”) that I never noticed, barely sweated and almost all the tension I felt in my body was gone after 55 minutes. - Wenbo F.

Allison is the only one who was able to help me with my chronic neck pain. Pilates and integrating Qigong practices helped tremendously and now I have full range of motion, more then I’ve had in 15 years. She’s also been critical in helping me recover from my more recent foot and hip injuries. As an added benefit, my core has never been stronger! - Julie M.

I first contacted LightSpace because I was suffering from postpartum lower back pain. I had already had an MRI (not a spinal injury), seen a chiropractor, physical therapist, and a personal trainer. The combination of these three helped, but didn’t completely solve my problem. My “weak core” never got properly strengthened without causing some kind of pain elsewhere. This is where LightSpace came in. I gave LightSpace a try as a last resort. I met with Lisa, who is super easygoing and funny, but at the same time professional and able to identify my problem. With my personalized plan, the small and isolated muscle exercises I’ve done with her really helped me work on my weak spots one at a time. I can really say I am pain free now and feel stronger overall! -Junyun B.
