“This is to tell you how extremely pleased I am to be feeling so fantastic. I no longer have any arthritis pain and no headaches! You can take full responsibility, as it was you who set me on this course.”

“I used to walk into a doctor's office as an anonymous patient. The experience consisted of sitting for long periods of time in cold waiting rooms, then a brusque meeting with a doctor who knew almost nothing about me, even if I had been there several times before. Walking into Still Mountain is a completely different experience. It is a comforting, gentle environment where I am visible and known. I can trust that I will receive excellent medical care from a doctor who is mindful, attentive, and compassionate. Dr. Gottlieb also challenges me to examine my own habits which affect my health, and although it is not easy, I have found it valuable to be able to work with these issues in the context of my medical care.”
K. Michel

“I first saw Jia five months after I had a neck injury which also affected my midback. During those five months I had been treated for the injury (mostly PT) and had improved, but I had not been able to get full release or movement in my neck or back…Over the next four months I saw…Jia for acupuncture... My neck range of motion has increase significantly and I now can relax the muscles of my back (both very difficult prior to the treatment). I have returned to a normal, active lifestyle thanks to the efforts of the Still Mountain staff.”

“I feel great doing the Breathworksusing your CD. I have been doing it at the start of the day and have so much more energy and am accomplishing so much more than before. There is a definite difference in my day and attitude. When I wake up in the middle of the night, I do the breathing in bed and can fall back to sleep.”
Roz Dorf

“I noticed a remarkable smoothness and calmness to my days. I also had rather wonderful concentration during the meditation itself, and could keep my mind from wandering with greater ease. The extra oxygen has even made my workouts at the recreation center much better; I feel so much more energetic and pleased to exercise my body again.”
Nicole Barnes

“I have been practicing the Breathworksonce a day, six days a week, for three weeks now. I feel more confident and relaxed, especially in situations that typically tend to make me nervous. My motivation and energy level is significantly elevated, and I seem more willing to engage in things that I might normally be reluctant about. My general mood and attitude are much more positive—I feel like I'm worrying about things a lot less and accomplishing a lot more. I definitely intend to continue the Breathworkspractice regularly. I'm hooked!”
