Verve Wellness Studio

I’ve been going to Verve weekly for two years now and cannot even begin to express the gratitude I have for them. I’ve recommended friends to Verve and they’ve come because they’ve witnessed what a transformative experience it has been for me. They’ve come in total trust and faith, because this work is something you must experience for yourself– everyone has a different experience, but the common thread is that the work they do is truly life-​changing.
I was referred to Verve during a difficult time in my life. Knowing that I had somewhere to go each week where I felt loved, supported and seen was and is very profound. I don’t know that I would have been able to make some of the life changes I’ve made if it weren’t for the support of Marisol and Aidan (and Peg!) at Verve– it likely would have taken me many, many years (if at all) to get my nervous system to find enough safety to make those changes. Finding Aidan, Marisol and Verve Wellness Studio has been one of the greatest gifts of my life.

I love Dr. Aidan, Marisol and Verve Wellness Studio! I came into their office about two and a half years ago now with severe back pain. I was re-​injuring my lower back regularly at that time, generally about 3 – 4 times a year. I had been receiving ordinary chiropractic treatment (rarely) and also local (near the pain) acupuncture with electricity up until that time. But I had just moved into San Francisco a few months back and wanted to find a more local practitioner to treat me. I was looking for something that offered a more long-​term solution that I had found with ordinary chiropractic or acupuncture. Something to truly help me heal my back and restore it to healthy long-​term function, where I was far less at risk of regular reinjury.
Well, network spinal analysis (chiropractic) is the ticket, I can tell you. My back used to be stiff all the time, with regular mild back pain every morning. Now it feels fluid and flexible and open, and much more able to handle strains, weights, and heavy use or sitting for long periods. I can still get back pain after such things, but my back no longer «throws itself out» due to those stresses. It knows now how to better integrate those stresses into my life.
I am honestly not the perfect patient. Along with the «chiropractic» care (network spinal analysis offers gentle entrainments involving touch, breath, energy and movement, not the heavy-​handed chiropractic adjustments) the process also involves training patients in the use of their breath to assist them in healing and integration. Two years in, I am still learning how to use breath better in these ways (no fault at all of Verve, it’s me who hasn’t taken the time and effort to practice more).
That said, I now have a fluid, flexible back I can count on, and can put stress on without worrying that I am going to throw it out, leaving me flat on my back for days if not weeks. I haven’t thrown it out in over a year, despite increasing my bodybuilding/​weight training in the gym and now sitting in my home office chair for hours on end at times in the past year, and way more than I used to do.
Thank you Verve, Dr. Aidan and Marisol for your incredible help and support. If you want long term health for you back, you cannot go wrong with Verve!

I’ve really wanted to take the time to write a thoughtful review for Verve, even though it is difficult to put the experience of nearly ten months of work into words. Knowing nothing about network care, I originally ventured a visit here in an attempt to alleviate severe jaw pain. I continue to come in for entrainments regularly, long after that jaw pain has subsided because the work done during each session has somehow managed to strip raw larger patterns in my life and offer a possibility for change. I have been able to better learn how I can participate in my own healing, across the whole spectrum of physical and emotional pain. I have felt awed by the spark of empowerment that characterizes my life in a new way since I’ve begun this work. The sincerity and care of Dr. Aidan and Marisol contribute to form a powerful backbone for this place, as the work here begins with physical pain and very much transforms into a supportive and integrated way of healing. I feel more connected, in control, and authentic in my choices, work, and relationships through the powerful experiences of healing here. Giving Verve a chance was a more worthwhile choice than I could have predicted. I’ve referred some of my closest friends here for all kinds of healing and support.

Dr. Aidan and verve have been an amazing impetus for transformation in my life. The past 6 months of treatment have really opened me up so much and have really given me the strength and support I needed to make some really drastic changes in my life from my housing to my job to my relationships. I cannot say enough wonderful things about the warmth, love, and support i’ve received from verve. All my neck tension disappeared and i have become so much more self aware. Thank you thank you thank you!

I chose this modality of therapy because I was intrigued at the idea of being able to permanently reorganize my nervous system. I’m at 2 months now — I’ve stopped smoking (a 16 year habit), I’ve joined a band (blockages clearing) and I’m feeling less concerned with the future and more clear on the journey. I have that «déjà-​Vu» feeling every time I walk in the door. I can’t put words to what happens, but there is a definite quantum reality. A step into a part of myself that says «yes, it’s possible». With little effort. Each month there is a free workshop to try out what’s happening here. Call and book your spot. It’s worth a try!

I have been going to Verve for 18 months and a lot has happened. Physically, my posture has changed, my weight has lessened and I feel more alive in my body. Emotionally and spiritually, I have never felt better. Blossoming would be a good word. I don’t understand quite how the work is done but I can say I completely trust Dr. Aidan and Dr. Peg. This is not your average chiropractor, they do not manually adjust your spine. GIve them a try. There is often an introductory class to tell you more.

If you want to feel empowered in your body and your life again, Verve Wellness Studio is the place to go. I truly can’t say enough good things about my experiences here. Initially coming here to obtain relief from shoulder pain, I have found it to be SO much more. I have learned so much about my body and how it has stored thought patterns and emotional patterns, and as a result, I’ve obtained greater connection between my mind, body, and spirit. I have had breakthrough after breakthrough here (those amazing «ah-​ha» moments). Aidan and Peg are incredibly compassionate, knowledgeable and intuitive, and Marisol — well, she just rocks! I love these ladies.
I could go on and on. But you really need to experience it yourself. Do it. Coming to Verve is one of the smartest decisions I have ever made.

Dr. Aidan is unlike any other chiropractor I’ve been to. She specializes in network care, which doesn’t involve any type of structural adjustment (no cracking, popping) and her healing method is geared towards people with chronic condition who want permanent, lasting changes.

I started going here about ²¹⁄₂ months ago and I attribute it to my saying all the time «I have never felt better». Aidan and Peg are true healers and I feel as if I am learning and healing at the same time. Everything about this studio makes sense but it also has a spiritual mystery that one learns to accept. I thank them from the bottom of my heart.

I see Dr. Aidan every Thursday. It’s my secret to pro-​actively avoiding stress in my neck and spine. Dr. A is like a magical angel. After 7 years of care I still have no idea what she does or how she does it but I can honestly say, it works! The new studio on Cortland is absolutely gorgeous. Go check it out Marisol will hook you up with an appointment and whether its Aidan or Peg, you’ll be taken well care of!

I cannot speak highly enough about the life-​changing work of Dr. Aidan. I worked with her regularly a few years ago shortly after opening a new business. I would leave her office standing taller (my mid-​back much happier) and feeling Much more optimistic about my business and my life. Later I worked with Dr. Peg as well and always felt better with her care.
This summer, after not having been seen for a couple of years or so, I went in for one visit and had the great grace of the ability to look at my life through a different lens after this session. Dr. Aidan gave me homework, a very basic question to ask myself, that has helped me to be more true to myself ever since. Again I also felt my mid back open up and deeply relax but it is the mental shift for which I am most profoundly grateful. All three of them are loving dedicated people and they have a great gift to share.

A huge YES!!! For Verve!
This is truly a life changing form of chiropractic and wellness care and you MUST experience it yourself.
I was referred to Dr. Aidan and Dr. Peg during a very difficult time in my life with massive anxiety and an debilitating fear about moving forward in life.
I’m happy to report that after about 6 months at verve I was living boldly and courageously and 99% anxiety free!
They have helped me (and my body) reorganize how my nervous system operates, by optimizing and streamlining it. I literally feel in my body the deepest sense of peace I have ever felt, and I have the space to ADAPT and CHANGE to stressors, changes, and things that previously would have made me anxious and scared.
Also, on a more traditional standpoint, I get way fewer headaches, I sleep better, my digestion has improved and I rarely feel the need to crack my back or neck. I used to CONSTANTLY hold a ton of tension in my neck and always try to pop it, and now, my spine feels flexible and spacious! Doesn’t that sound amazing?! It is!
This work (and Dr. Aidan and Dr. Peg) is mind blowing and life changing!

I’ve had so many incredible breakthroughs since I’ve seen you. I’ve gotten two incredible assistants now, who I foresee taking over Chatter Studios at some point.
Finally painting and creating art after a 10 year hiatus. Being an artist was essentially my identity growing up. And then I lost it. I started my whole health /​mindfulness /​wellness journey with the greater mission being to reconnect with my art and creativity.
Please check out some of work if you have time:
And I returned to surfing after 4 years out of the water (and performing much much better then i did 4 years ago).
I’ve even written a few songs on the guitar!
And I actually have a huge crush on a guy. Which basically never happens. Regardless if it works out or not, it’s so incredible to allow myself to feel about someone in that way.
I know there many factors that effected these changes. But I know it’s no coincidence, and that the level and ease that these things manifested in my life have everything to do with our sessions. After and during each session I feel as if a thousand pounds have been lifted off my back. I get a sense of relief that I’ve never experienced before.
Thank you, thank you!
