Saskia is my new nutrition therapist! I love that her approach is holistic because nothing is just about our food habits. It's about our trauma and other ways/defenses/ unhealthy habits we have had to use to survive . Saskia is helping me to understand and dismantle the negative stories I've told myself which has prevented me from being my healthiest self in the past. She really took into account who I am as a person and my values and helped me form a new regiment in life. We worked together to help figure out what that means for me. I couldn't be happier to have found someone who truly made a difference in how I'm eating, exercising, sleeping, and becoming a healthier version of myself, and even how I'm feeling about myself and my body. I feel proud of what I've been able to accomplish with Saskia's guidance. She's kind, empathetic, compassionate, and also is knowledgeable about the human body and psyche. Please seek her guidance if you're ready to change your old patterns of eating, exercising, and negative thoughts about your body and yourself! As a therapist myself, I've found Saskia to have all the qualities needed to be an attuned provider who meets you where you are. I'm well on my journey in just a short time! Thank you! More...

Very knowledgable, very attentive. Â She pays attention and remembers your issues. From one session to the next you feel like she remembers your unique needs. She told me to go dairy free and that's helped with my stomach sensitivities. She considered my family history and my own personal neuro wiring as she made recommendations for food. For instance, we added more protein to my diet to help me feel more grounded and combat sugar cravings. It worked! I feel more steady and stable after three months of this. She incorporates the brain, emotions and body. She doesn't shun "Western" medicine, but works together to be a complement your current health care system. Â I definitely recommend Saskia! More...

Saskia is phenomenal. She helped me reset and get healthy when I was incredibly sick and no one else could tell me what was wrong with me, or how to get better. She listens carefully and pays attention to all the factors in your life that might affect your health, has a huge wealth of knowledge, and is responsive to your needs as they change over time.

I went to see Saskia because I've been dealing with insomnia and anxiety for several years and in the past six months it had become worse. Saskia spent a lot of time going over my habits and reviewing my health history. She then laid out a list of options that she thought might improve my situation. The options included supplements; behavioral changes; and mindfulness practices. We talked about what options I thought I could realistically incorporate into my routine and which ones I probably would not be able to stick to. I implemented most of her recommendations for a month. One week into the month, I started to experience amazing results. My sleep patterns have improved significantly without medication. My anxiety has receded and I have more energy. I will continue to work with Saskia as needed and I could not be happier with the outcome. I am recommending her to all my friends. More...

My session with Saskia was awesome - she's an excellent listener, super knowledgeable, and after taking the steps she asked me to (limiting just a few foods in my diet, doubling my water intake, and taking a couple of supplements) I'm feeling like things are flowing much better in my body. I recently emailed Saskia with a question, and she researched options and made time to talk to me about it on the phone free of charge. I couldn't recommend her more highly! More...

Saskia, has been my nutritionist for the past 5 years. She helped me through a very difficult pregnancy, major surgeries, and helped me kick start my whole food journey. As a new mother, she helped me be creative with picky eater while being creative and thoughtful. Thanks you Saskia! I can't thank you enough for your knowledge and bed side manner! More...

Saskia listened and evaluated my situation attentively. She put me on a custom program and helped me pass my drug test and lose weight. I had been clean for a month and drank lots of water and took a multivitavin but it was not enough. After an accellerated month long detox program and dilligent adherence to her dietary advice the truth I am clean became evident and I could qualify for health insurance. Stop smoking now and give her a call and you will likely pass. More...

I can't thank Saskia enough for all the guidance and support she provided me in changing my diet. She is so knowledgeable in many aspects of nutrition and helps you realize the importance of healthy eating and how much really bad stuff there is out there that is making you feel bad and be unhealthy. Â I'm still learning from Saskia. She is always available via email for all of my questions regarding diet and supplement (vitamins) tips. I highly recommend Saskia for all of your needs from diet to better sleeping tips! She is the total package! More...

I have written a separate review of Soizic's Beaute Nature (Soizic is the amazing facilist/aesthetician at Emeryville Health and Wellness), but I feel moved to expand my review of the place. Emeryville Health and Wellness is such a find and Saskia, the founder, is something else. In a good way. Saskia is the best masseuse I have ever been too. I have been fortunate enough to have had a number of massages from Saskia (both in pregnancy and in regular non-pregnant life) and she is just incredible. She always takes the time to have a mini consult before the massage and then uses a variety of techniques throughout. She knows anatomy so well and converts her understanding of the human body into a fabulous massage experience. She digs deep and still keeps you relaxed. The building itself looks like an office building from the outside but, inside, is calm and serene and always smells beautiful. Every time I am waiting for an appointment at Emeryville Health and Wellness, and see other clients, I just think, "we are so lucky." More...

She's a star. Saskia beat my MD to an important diagnosis of hypothyroidism and severe deficiency in vitamin D.She listened to my symptoms  (that were being ignored by my doctor) and suggested routine, inexpensive blood tests. One week later, I am relived to have a diagnosis and care plan.  Saskia is a real partner and advocate. More...

I've been a client of Saskia's for 8 months now, and recommend her highly. I went to see her because I'd gained a lot of weight, both from being on a medication and also from starting a very sedentary job. I wanted to lose weight in conjunction with weaning myself of the meds, and establish healthy habits in relation to food. Saskia has helped me do both of these things, slowly and steadily. She has really helped me make gradual, positive changes by advising me based on her wealth of knowledge and experience with other clients -- and often, her own personal life experiences. I also appreciate that she helps me work with my MD in an integrative way -- she doesn't by any means discount conventional medicine.I have lost almost 10% of my body weight at this point, and more importantly have made some really good, lasting changes to my habits -- both in terms of diet and in terms of taking care of myself (sleep, stress relief come to mind). I've learned to take change slowly and steadily. Bottom line: Saskia is a really kind, intuitive person who is also also skilled and knowledgable.Re her massage services: my partner (who has a degree in bodywork himself) had a massage from Saskia and rates her as excellent, which is high praise from him!

I started going to Saskia early this year after I realized I had some digestive issues and knew that I needed help from a nutritionist. Â Saskia is personable, knowledgeable and just an AWESOME person. Â She helped me to set realistic goals for losing some weight. Â She also helped me to prepare for surgery that I had to have. Â After surgery my doctors couldn't believe how quickly I recovered. Â I attribute this to vitamins, supplements and advise that Saskia recommended. She also provided me some books and articles to read pre and post surgery that were informative and very helpful. Â Â After surgery Saskia also recommended that I go on a detox to get my body back on track. Â This was like no other detox I have done in the past. Â I was able to eat and didn't feel hungry. Â I actually felt more energetic and my husband also did the detox with me and we both enjoyed it. Â We also went on this detox to assist us with getting pregnant and I am pleased to say that about a month after the detox we became pregnant and we are expecting our baby in April. I have also visited Saskia during my pregnancy for advice and I am now in my second trimester and all is well. I highly recommend Saskia. Â I have been to other nutritionists, but she is by far the best! More...

Saskia has been such a pleasure to work with. Â She is very knowledgeable and it feels great to know I have my nutritional bases covered. Â She checks in on me regularly and I will continue to see her after my baby is born. Â I am just finishing my first trimester and I feel great! More...
