Working with Shannon, Mary and Drew has made a miraculous change in my life. Using compassion, empathy and joy they've transformed my body and soul far beyond my expectations. I've not laughed so hard or felt so well in a long, long time. My love to you.... Clive Barker
I was having an amazing time on my 40th BD in the South of France. One morning after a lazy breakfast on the terrace, I went for a long bike ride. I was in good shape but on the trip back to the hotel I suddenly felt a problem with my back. Later that night I was in agonizing pain and for the next week I could barely sit at dinner and I walked with a limp, dragging my right leg behind me. In great pain I flew back to California to see my doctor. The MRI showed a 12mm disc herniation – the largest he had ever seen in his career. He sent me to an orthopedic surgeon who agreed I needed immediate surgery. Instead of going under the knife, though, I went into physical therapy. With the Body Reform team approach, guided by Shannon and Mary, I made immediate progress. As the time went by I became stronger and knew that I was going to get better. Initially, I thought I might not ever run or play sports again with my kids but Body Reform brought me back from a physical disaster. Today I am running, hiking, playing and riding a bike again. Here I come, Tuscany. Scott Mattingly

Although many people I know had recommended Body Reform to me I never bothered to call because: 1) I had already been to so many body workers and no one was successful curing my back problems and 2) I never go out for bodywork being of the very spoiled variety that does it all at home. I had lower back pain pretty consistently for over 25 years. Nothing I did, including surgery, brought me much relief. Then in a rather broken state, a friend literally walked me into Body Reform. I followed the program, persevering in spite of my busy schedule because I could almost immediately see the difference -- their integrated technique. While Shannon’s bodywork changed the way my muscles and joints were able to move, Mary taught me how to strengthen and stabilize in a safe and effective way. I re-learned how to walk, how to carry myself and how to go about my daily life so that the things that triggered my pain wouldn’t return. After about a year I had almost permanent relief. Now I get an occasional flair up but it is resolved quickly. I love the sanctuary and peace of their studio and the work. I love Body Reform. Lynda Resnick,

Shannon, Mary, and Team are super stars. I refer to Shannon as the "Miracle Worker". Shannon fixed my IT band that plagued me for years. When I started with Shannon a year ago, I could not run more than 13 miles. Since he fixed me in a few sessions, I have run 3 marathons and qualified for Boston. I am now training for Ironman. I can't give a higher recommendation. He also fixed my wife's shoulder issues and my friend's neck. You want it fixed? Go to the Miracle Worker. Sean Whiteley

Five doctors tried--and failed--to repair me. The last orthopedist said I had the shoulder of an 80-year-old woman (I'm in my forties, and still male, the last time I checked). I couldn't raise my hand above my waist without excruciating pain. I won't say the process was quick or painless, but Shannon Harris achieved what everyone else said was impossible: he restored me to full heath, eradicated the pain, and was a constant pleasure to deal with (not the first impulse you have when someone's beating you into shape). He's over-booked and a long way from inexpensive--but that's to be expected when you want the best. This guy's a rock star. Mark Gill
I’ve been a regular at Body Reform for several years and have staved off knee surgery with their help. Shannon’s bodywork is like no other. When you get off his table you feel like air was pumped into every joint. You float out of his office feeling as if you have a whole new body. Where Shannon gets the muscles and joints moving again, Mary retrains movement patterns by strengthening and stabilizing the areas that are weak so that the entire body moves better as a unit. She has an extraordinary sense of the body and is incredibly well-trained. She doesn’t do the “one-size fits all” workouts I’ve had with other trainers. Using Pilates, the TRX, and other toys, she tailors each workout to my individual needs and goals, and manages to always keep my program fresh despite the fact that I’ve worked with her for years. Tarek adds yet another layer of knowledge and skills to Body Reform that is extraordinary, acupuncture and chiropractic. All of the therapists in the office are in constant communication with each other when something is going on with a shared patient. They each support and nurture the health of the patient in his or her own way. With seeming ease they manage to combine knowledge, fun, compassion, and healing in a warm and relaxed environment. I’m a Body Reform lifer. Darolyn Ross
