Aloha Integrative Therapy - Santa Rosa, California

Here is my long overdue review of Quiara. Upon hearing of our daughter's struggles with constipation, soiling, the countless hours spent frustrated with constant diaper-changing, and the elevated stress levels in our home, we were referred to her by my fellow friend and mother, who is also an occupational therapist. During our sessions, Quiara was attentive to hearing of our issues and provided her educated thoughts, experience, and insight on our daughter's situation. In fact, because of her encouragement and spirit, my husband and I served as fierce advocates for our daughter - insisting for an abdominal ultrasound without fail, which eventually led to her pediatric GI specialist finally ordering for an in-hospital clean out to absolve her of the severe constipation that had bogged her for years and inhibited successful potty training.

We are now over four months' since that hospitalization and our daughter has moved so much more forward with her potty training and, although we still have to work on our #2's with her, she is miles ahead of where she was just 4+ months ago. And although we do not have regular sessions with Quiara any more, she still checks in on Brynne with a thoughtful question here and there.

I credit so much to Quiara for the physical and emotional progress she has helped instill with our daughter and our household. There are not enough words with which to thank her.

We are incredibly grateful for Quiara...I frankly don't know where we would be today without her expertise. I highly refer to anyone who is struggling with toddler constipation issues!

We have absolutely loved working with Quiara and Aloha Integrative Therapy. I had tried so many avenues to help my son with his encopresis, and nothing had worked (pediatric gastroenterologist, psychologist, potty training consultant). After finally connecting with Quiara, she helped us connect the dots on what was happening and why. We established a plan for treatment and made great progress over several weeks. Now, my son is no longer having accidents and we know how to keep this from happening in the future. I am so grateful to have found Quiara; without her guidance I don’t think we would be where we are now. Not only is she so knowledgeable, but she is kind, supportive and encouraging for kids and parents alike. This has changed our lives!

Quiara is AMAZING and so personable! My daughter is pretty shy around new people, but Quiara made her feel comfortable by incorporating fun activities into her evaluation. We learned SO much from Quiara and our our family is so excited to use her valuable information in our potty training! The way she explains things just make sense, and it’s made us feel so much more confident!! If you have concerns about potty training, bed wetting, or really anything related to toileting, do yourself a favor and schedule an appointment!

I highly recommend working with Aloha Integrative Therapy and Quiara! Quiara is supportive, and treats the whole patient. She provides parent coaching tailored to your specific goals, breaks things into manageable pieces, and is very responsive to questions along the way. She has the ability to connect well with both the parent and child. She's one of the few medical providers I've encountered who truly feels like a partner, and never rushes you through the appointment. With her guidance, my daughter has made incredible, measurable progress with her issues that we had been struggling with for years prior to finding Quiara.

Working with Quiara has been simply LIFE CHANGING. Her approach is thoughtful, caring and actionable, which is exactly what we needed as we were dealing with issues with our toddler. Working with Quiara helped us understand the source of the problem and solve it in a way that felt comfortable for all of us - and she was by our side every step of the way! The fact that it wasn't covered by insurance made us hesitant at first but we very quickly realized that every penny was worth it. We are so happy with our decision to work with her and will do it again without hesitation!

We met with Quiara to go over a plan for potty training our daughter (for the second time, so we wanted to make sure that we got the most expert advice!). We have been following her advice and it's gone so much better this time! Quiara was so helpful in meeting us both where we were, providing lists of the exact items we would need and a tailored protocol for our child's needs. Potty training/learning is one of my least favorite parts about parenting, and even when it is going well - it's still really hard and exhausting!! Having an expert like Quiara to lean on for support has been invaluable for everyone's health & mood - and because we as parents are more relaxed, we think that's helping our daughter as well. I would HIGHLY recommend meeting with Quiara - it's worth the peace of mind!

I met Quiara online after months of desperately seeking help with potty training. She was recommended by a parenting coach I follow on instagram. My son had been potty trained (peeing in toilet) for nearly a year but was absolutely terrified of pooping.

My husband and I had tried EVERYTHING. Rewards. Bribes. Begging. Calling peds. Miralax. We were running out of options. He refused to use the toilet. I met with Quiara for a quick discovery call. I explained our situation and she was confident she could help. The appts were not cheap but we had nothing to lose. Her reviews were great and we were desperate.

Quiara didn’t tell us to give miralax and call her in a month. She asked a ton of questions to better understand our son’s habits. She gave us weekly “homework” to practice with our son. She shared plenty of tips to reach our goal. Week after week we slowly made progress until he started going daily-on his own.

Quiara’s expertise and patience got my son out of pull ups and using the toilet. But what’s bigger is she somehow helped give my son CONFIDENCE. And she gave me the tools to get him there. I’m really grateful I found her and she was able to help my family.

I can not explain how much Quiara helped my daughter with her pelvic floor needs. In only a few months, my daughter went from having accidents/leaks daily and wetting the bed every night to being absolutely dry and never having nighttime accidents. Quiara was supportive and always easy to communicate with. I highly recommend Quiara's approach! Nellie was an amazing help too!!! THANK YOU DR. QUIARA!!!
