Eileen is a healer.  She worked with my sister through treatment for breast cancer, met with my family to help us figure out how to be the best support, and was an amazing friend and source of expertise.  I’ve seen her many times, and I always feel so refreshed and renewed.  My favorite thing about Eileen is that she’s a brilliant blend of calm, healing energy and hilarious Jewish humor.  She’s a mensch and I feel fortunate to have her in my, and my family’s, life.                                                                                                   Melissa P
