Hi my name is Evelyn and I have lived in Ojai with my husband and three kids for the last 20 years. I felt drawn to being a registered nurse because it incorporated human connection and scientific inquiry. The human body and mind fascinate me and inspire me to keep learning new advances in health. I’m excited to be at Fig where clients and practitioners together co-create a healing plan.
“I had the facial and the ozone treatment. Facial was amazing!! Highly recommend it!! The ozone treatment helped me with a few things; I just had knee surgery, it took away that stiff/full feeling. Now I can bend it all the way! My gut issue just disappeared!! Not only were the treatments amazing but the staff are sweet, professional and very knowledgeable. Thumbs up 100%!!”
“Love this place! Went for a holiday season immune boost and was treated like royalty. It’s a beautiful environment and Natalie the phlebotomist was very skilled with her IV administration. Everyone was warm and welcoming. And there were awesome snacks and local Magic Hour tea!”
“A very lovely experience. August and Natalie were great. A very professional and warm atmosphere. I will return for more treatments!”
“These girls know what they’re doing! Such a relaxing atmosphere and I feel AMAZING after my first IV infusion, I can’t wait to get results from more treatments!”
“My new favorite place! They have everything here. All kinds of advanced products and treatments and they are so friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful.”
