I have worked with some wonderful individuals who have kindly shared their thoughts...

"I am deeply grateful for Bernadette, whose kindness and expertise in yoga therapy have been an absolute blessing. Despite the chaos of my life, her sessions became a cherished sanctuary, offering me relief from chronic pain and a sense of mental calm. Her serene presence, attentive nature, and genuine care made every session feel like a soothing balm for my body and soul. In every session with her, I was relieved of severe and deep muscular pain. Meetings with her kept me steady in self care, giving me the much needed excuse to stop, slow down, and just be. Her methods utilizing various stretches, holds and meditative contemplations were gentle and effective.

Bernadette goes above and beyond the role of a practitioner, showing genuine interest in my well-being beyond our sessions. Her guidance and support extended far beyond yoga, demonstrating a heartfelt commitment to my overall health and happiness. I feeI that I finally found not just a healer, but a compassionate and trusted ally on my journey towards wellness. She truly deserves all the praise and recognition for her unwavering dedication to helping others." ~Kari

"Bernadette’s sessions are filled with caring. Her understanding and knowledge of yoga is deep, but accessible to a yoga newbie like me. Working to address symptoms of Parkinson’s, I learned ways to improve my balance, posture, and breathing. After every session, I felt relaxed and more upbeat." ~PFS

"Bernadette is a knowledgeable and caring Yoga Therapist. I came to her for an old shoulder injury from my Triathlon days. She was able to gently work with me in a manner, which helped me fully understand how to care for this issue. On top of that she helped me implement some additional support into my daily routine for mind body connection. I have and will continue to recommend Bernadette. She is a caring and kind hearted person who knows how to communicate what your system needs to be in balance." ~Kevin

"From the beginning, Bernadette took a compassionate and sensitive approach to design and build a yoga practice that would help me to restructure my breathing patterns; practice body awareness; regulate my nervous system; use strengthening and stretching poses; use posture correction exercises, and positions that foster bone strength as osteoporosis protection.

At each session Bernadette made a point of checking in to hear how I was doing, what feelings and body mind effects were current in my life that day, and if I had any specific requests for things to work on. She was very observant and attendant of my positions and always offered to help me adjust to a better or more comfortable alignment.  As our work progressed, I began to notice a marked improvement in my outlook, my daily attitude, and my overall focus on life. They all became more and more positive and hopeful.

Today I feel physically stronger, more mentally and emotionally resilient to face the everyday challenges of recovering from the effects of the cancer experience.  I attribute all of these changes directly to the expert care and attention that I received from Bernadette. She guided me through a dark tunnel of fear and body restriction to a life changing openness to the clear possibility of greater health and wellness. I highly recommend Bernadette as an expert, congenial, and dedicated Yoga Therapist." ~Teri

"Bernadette gave me great advice about my diet, routine and herbal medicines, all adapted to my lifestyle. She is very enthusiastic with Ayurvedic healing and her high energy level is contagious. She gave me understandable explanations and tools that I can use myself. I loved the suggestion for my breakfast! Now I feel I have more strength in the morning. As a Yoga Therapist, I'll recommend her to my clients and also to my friends. Thank you, Bernadette!" ~Anna

"I have had the pleasure of working with Bernadette for issues related to knee pain. Through her knowledge of yoga therapy, Bernadette has been able to help me when physical therapy did not. Bernadette is a wonderful listener and observer - she really took the time to assess what was causing me pain and to explain what she thought was going on and then to explain what the care plan was and how it would help. Working with Bernadette not only helped to alleviate my knee pain, but it also helped relieve other aches and pains in my body and helped me feel less stressed overall.  With her holistic focus, Bernadette addressed the physical issues as well as the mental and emotional aspects associated with dealing with pain. I highly recommend Bernadette Milan and will definitely return to her for future yoga therapy needs!"  ~Irma

"This was my first time doing anything yoga related and needless to say, I was extremely nervous. Bernadette met me where I was and patiently took her time explaining new concepts to me, guiding me through each stretch. Her gentle and holistic approach to mindfulness helped me become more aware of my body and how I go about my every day (I was shocked to realize how often I hold my breath!). She listened to me when I explained what I do for work and what kind of stretches would be helpful as well as providing ways to not over-extend myself. I learned new stretches and practices that I've continued to apply and share in my daily life. I am so grateful to have experienced these practices and I know it wouldn't have been the same without my wonderful teacher! I would highly recommend anyone wanting to become more aware of how they carry themselves in this world and take better care of their bodies to try Yoga Therapy with Bernadette!"  ~Denise

"Bernadette is a talented and impactful Yoga Therapist.  She introduced me to Yoga Nidra as a tool to address sleep issues. This practice has improved my rest tremendously. I enjoy working with Bernadette because she is very knowledgeable and listens carefully to solve client's problems. I highly recommend her services to everyone." ~Rosanne

I feel so much unstable body wise and mind wise. So my main point is that I don’t feel my body, abdominal, back and neck after night feeding and was afraid to do any movements, cause heard this is bad for early postpartum. So it was very helpful to fill test before therapy. You give so full understanding how I can move and exercises which is really help me to make me feel my body. In our sessions you are very exactly find way to work with every my problem. My abdominal become stronger and my massagist in the end told that I don’t have diastasis [recti]. You gave for me a lot of self-massage techniques with balls which I planing to use all my life.

You are very understanding and easygoing person, after our therapy I have so many energy and happiness, love and strength for taking care about baby. You also fix and make me pay attention on my posture and how I holding baby. But the most important you make me before I doing something - do it mindfully and in a line with my body. Now I have tools for forever use in stress management and how to make your body feel energetic and light.

After our therapies I have a taste to back to daily yoga routine. And to become a yoga instructor, cause it’s really best thing-tool how to become in a line with your body, mind, soul. Thank you so much Bernadette, send you a lot of light, love and very thankful God to send me You.

I definitely recommend to work with Bernadette. It’s really best thing to avoid postpartum depression- to be connect with your body. And I’m pretty sure in all disappointed moments in our life." ~Iryna

"If you are looking for a knowledgeable Ayurvedic guide who cares as much as she teaches, look no further. Bernadette listens keenly and weaves her deep understanding of Ayurvedic principles and practices with the constraints of modern life with ease. In our sessions, I feel seen, heard, and never judged. With good humor she has more than once delivered "just-in-time" insights that helped me "get unstuck." Whether managing a chronic condition or acute stress, she offers suggestions that are doable and tailored to my situation. She manages to distill and deliver wisdom in a way that is accessible and useful. She welcomes questions and encourages a collaborative process. Despite her deep knowledge, she remains humble and curious making her an excellent listener and a supportive partner in the healing process."  ~Tami

"I have been working with Bernadette's Reiki Therapy virtually for eight months. She is a very talented healer: skillful, compassionate and knowledgeable. Bernadette generously shares her gentle and nurturing energy and is always ready to listen and find solutions to help heal her clients. I highly recommend Bernadette!" ~RLV

"Bernadette gave me strategies through her therapeutic yoga practice to help me with my rheumatoid arthritis. In past yoga classes, I have had to modify the poses too much to feel comfortable in class. I have also had small group instruction in my home. However, again the point was to make me fit the yoga. Bernadette matched the yoga to my needs. She developed a routine for me that moved from head to toe and ended with a meditative state. I like how easy it is for me to slide into it for thirty minutes, and how easy it is to slide out of it and head off to teach third graders. While the strategies of therapeutic yoga are wonderful, I am grateful for the way Bernadette made it work for me—by listening." ~Sally

"Thank you so much for working with P. He definitely enjoyed his time in yoga with you. He is pleased to include some of what he learned in yoga therapy in his workout routines. Along with the positive physical effects of his yoga therapy practices, his mood was uplifted after your sessions. That is a welcome boon to him (and to me as well.) He appreciated your positive, friendly, and compassionate way of interacting."  ~Spouse of person with Parkinson's Disease

"With a strong foundation in yoga studies and personal practice, Bernadette offers well balanced, creative, client focused yoga therapy. She is skilled at weaving together consistency with fresh approaches, building upon previous sessions to address my specific needs. Her curiosity inspires me to explore the practices in a welcoming way. Thank you Bernadette." ~JWS

"Bernadette is a gifted healer with a calming, nurturing presence. My Reiki sessions with her left me feeling aligned, grounded, and deeply relaxed. Bernadette holds space with such grace. I’m grateful to have had this healing experience with her." ~LW

"What an unexpected surprise - using yoga therapy to speed my mallet finger (torn tendon) recovery! At a time where medical doctors seem less and less personal and offer little to no advice outside of their immediate expertise, Bernadette offered a refreshingly new perspective on injury recovery. Learning how important breathing is at a physiological level to avoid stress response activation during recovery exercises (thereby prolonging recovery) was revelational, yet made so much sense! It was so beneficial to discover this other perspective and simple yoga activities that I could easily do to speed my recovery and not just be at the mercy of 'following the doctor's orders.'" ~Mike
