The LMN is typically good for one year from the date it's signed. However, your physician may recommend a shorter duration.

Seeing Corey and going through the treatment process has been the single best thing I've ever done for my health. Within a week of starting the rehab work my neck has felt better than it has in months or longer, my toes don't hurt when walking anymore, my feet stopped hurting when I get up in the morning, and my jaw has stopped being so damn uncomfortable all the time! This is just the first week!
He's helped me with my nutrition, finally letting me take charge of the side of my health that I know has been needing it most for decades. I have more energy than I've had since I was a kid; the clarity and focus is just unreal, and I've lost more than 20 pounds in the last 3 months.
I honestly can't recommend Corey and Thrive enough and am trying to get everyone I know in here as well. He's very easy to work with, really knows his stuff, and honestly has saved me a lot of money on other treatments that simply haven't had really lasting results. I wish I'd started working with him a lot sooner, and I'm very excited to see how far he's going to be able to take my health!

My time with Andrea has been a major asset to my journey of inner healing. She listens with no judgement and allows you to fully relax. I have gained more confidence in my own strengths after working with Andrea. I look forward to my next session.

I remember the day I fell in love with yoga. My new friend Jaye had invited me to join her for an outside yoga session along with others. We found the perfect spot under a row of cypress trees overlooking the Monterey bay. I had always been a little apprehensive when taking a yoga class due to my inexperience, but Jaye made me feel totally at ease and welcome. This allowed me to be fully present for the first time and experience yoga in every beautiful way. Jaye has a calm and nurturing demeanor. Her guidance and knowledge left me with a better understanding of each pose and the relationship with the breath. Jaye is an absolute gem and is truly my favorite yoga teacher.
