Real Patient / Client Testimonials
IM, April 2025,
When you feel like there's no other option, you ask yourself, 'Why didn't I know about TMS sooner?' because it's life-changing. I had lost myself, and I feel like I've found myself again... Everyone in my family has noticed...

TMS works! When juggling the difficulties that accompany depression, I often found myself asking, "Why me?" I would see others respond well to medications and begin navigating the world, with impunity. I, however, tried medication after medication, combinations of antidepressants and mood stabilizers, while also taking advantage of cognitive behavioral therapy, individual therapy and weekly support groups. While the medication/therapy combos would help temporarily, I would soon find myself needing to increase the dosages or change the medication entirely because my body acclimated quickly. Before learning about TMS I was desperate. I was verbalizing my desperation to anyone who would listen in the hopes of finding some guidance forward. I was sleeping 18 to 20 hours a day, falling asleep while driving, incapable of holding a thought and becoming anxiety-riddled with any necessary decision making. I felt like I had lost the most valuable parts of myself as I became incapable of experiencing passion or compassion. My Father was diagnosed with a horrible illness and I was uncontrollably sleeping through what could be the last months of his life. My Psychiatrist pointed me toward Three Strand Wellness and, while I walked through the door a cynic, I now find myself to be a firm believer in the miracle of TMS. 36 sessions later and I swear that TMS saved my life. Life was devoid of color and now I'm experiencing everything in 3D again. I'm so grateful for the team at Three Strand Wellness for following their calling and offering a lifeline to people like me. Shout out to the brilliant Dr. Ifill-Taylor, my beautiful Clarencetine, and the kind-hearted, multi-skilled John. You all are doing exactly what you wee meant to do.

"Three Strand Wellness is such a welcoming environment. I was suffering for over a year, while trying to find a good place. The staff at TSW was awesome. All aspects of my mental health was looked at. I've added light therapy into my treatment at Dr. Ifill-Taylor's recommendation. She taught me the right way to use it the right way and it has really helped."

"Anti-anxiety anti-depressant medications were no longer working and my symptoms were continuing to worsen. Being in this state only heightened my skeptical thoughts. However, I trusted Dr. Ifill-Taylor's professional opinion and judgment and appreciated her warmth and patience as I debated the pros and cons of TMS treatment. I am grateful to Dr. Ifill-Taylor for guiding me through a difficult time in my life and helping me make the right choice to have TMS treatment.
​
Without a doubt TMS treatment works! It's a subtle change at first but over the course of the six week treatment time I recognized how my negative thoughts gave way to more positive ones. Family and friends noticed before I did that I was smiling more and making jokes again.
​
Salina Virola, the TMS coordinator is excellent at what she does. Every question I had, Salina answered. She always made sure I was completely comfortable. I appreciate our chats during the treatments. We had delightful conversations. The entire staff of Three Strand Wellness is wonderful."

"Now since TMS, I don't have the depression that I had. Now I notice the beauty in the patterns of trees." I find myself singing now, and I haven't done that since I was a child."

"I went to a family event and people who haven't seen me in a long time remarked on how bright I appeared. I attribute that to TMS."

"I write this testimonial to THREE STRAND WELLNESS today, because they significantly changed my life. With their caring, skill and understanding of a person suffering from serious chronic depression, anxiety, and PTSD, they helped me to become an active, happier person than I have been in years. When I thought life was just too much, they showed me a new path to live my life more fully and healthier. The changes they helped me to make also helped my family to be closer and grateful that I am a better, stronger person. I could not have been in better hands."

"Dr. Ifill-Taylor and her staff are far beyond my experience or expectations for a doctor’s office. From my first phone call with Salina, the TMS coordinator, to take down my information, explain my options and working as hard as they did with my insurance, I felt like I mattered as a human being.
The TMS treatment itself is easy enough and the staff at Three Strand Wellness really have a phenomenal way of making you feel safe, appreciated and that you're in good hands. Thank you Dr. Ifill-Taylor, Salina, Anesha and Jordan for working as hard as you do, and helping me live my best life!"

"Three Strand’s online zoom Yoga classes have been a lifeline for me during the pandemic. I have searched for classes like this online, but have not experienced the level of presentation of yoga as this class presents. The class times have been so accommodating for my busy work schedule and the instructor really listens to your personal goals and needs for the class. I participate from another state and I can tell you, it has been one of the best experiences of learning yoga and meditation and experiencing the benefits it has to offer. The meditation is my favorite part and from the comfort of my home , it feels like I have been transported to my happy place! Thank you Three Strand Wellness for offering this class to all who need a convenient and safe way to practice and experience yoga and meditation in these stressful times. Having access to activities that will help us cope, especially when its available online, is truly a blessing."

“This yoga class has rescued and restored me several times. Meagan is knowledgeable and patient. Once she even incorporated ocular exercises during a yoga session, relieving discomfort and an associated migraine. The stretching is amazing. Her voice & music selection always soothe."

"I have suffered from depression for over 20 years, not knowing what was wrong with me-why I’m different from others. After going to other doctors, it wasn’t until I came to Three Strand Wellness that I found out that not do I only suffer with depression, but anxiety and PTSD. After being treated with TMS, I have a new song “I can see clearly now the rain is gone” by Jimmy Cliff. Thanks so much to Dr. Ifill-Taylor, John Winn and her wonderful staff.”

“Upon walking into Three Strand Wellness my body began to relax. Thoughtful Jordan greeted me with a warm smile and gentle tone. As I waited in the Meditation Room for my appointment to begin I felt grateful to be in this soothing space listening to meditative music, breathing in purified air laced with fragrant essential oils. As Dr. Ifill-Taylor escorted me to her office I noted the inviting massage room and well equipped gym both of which I will be using! The best part of the experience was the exceptional Dr. Darlene Ifill-Taylor! Her diagnostic skills, brilliant insights, deep base of knowledge and dynamic personality are a powerful combination that have served me well on my journey. Three Strand Wellness is a little slice of heaven in a chaotic world!”

“Massage has always needed to be therapeutic for me. I have had chronic pain for 20 years. I’ve had massage at Three Strand Wellness, both from Sergio and Laura and each are amazing! I’m sorry that Laura’s been away-but Sergio really helped me with my pain. Thank you Sergio and Three Strand Wellness.
