In the past, I asked for a referral to mental health services and was completely brushed off. I honestly can't believe Mindstride exists—you're accessible, compassionate, and real people who follow up consistently. It's been a game-changer.

The interventions have been incredible. I find myself returning to them throughout the week to check in and ground myself. They've really helped me manage my anxiety and feel more in control

No one has ever reviewed my blood work from a general wellness and preventive health perspective before. It's always been reactive care—this is the first time it's felt proactive and truly focused on my long-term health.

They personally called to follow up and make sure my referral was received, and to provide me with an update. It meant so much to know they went above and beyond to ensure I was truly looked after.

Being able to get my blood work done right at Mindstride was such a relief—no separate appointments, no waiting in a packed lab. It made everything so much easier and less stressful.
