| " I had noticed a pain in and around my wrist, that was at first very slight, but as time went on it grew much more severe, to the point where my left forearm felt completely off. When it was at its worse, I would wake in the morning, and have extreme pain. I have always gone to a chiropractor, and I had been getting therapeutic massage for over a year. However, neither could effect a lasting change to the imbalance. This went on for over 6 months, until I asked Heather about acupuncture. On my first visit with Heather, I could immediately feel her warmth & compassion and her knowledge in her field. I was very receptive to the whole process, and the next day after my first session, I was so happy I could already feel a slight change. I continued to see her once a week, for five sessions, and each time, my wrist felt better and better. Around the fourth to fifth treatment I had no pain in my wrist and it felt just like normal. It has now been close to five months, and my wrist feels great! No matter how hard I have to work. I still enjoy going to Heather now and again, to keep everything strong, and the added relaxation you get is worth it all on its own. I look back, and wonder why I waited so long to get something done. I am ever grateful that I found Heather!!" C.L. ~ "I was having severe menopause problems such as depression, night sweats, hot flashes and sleepless nights. I also felt an inner rage and would burst out crying all of a sudden. It was starting to interfere with my life. My doctor wanted to put me on depression medication but I wanted to try something more natural and holistic. At my first acupuncture treatment Heather was very supportive and made me feel relaxed and comfortable. I seemed to have felt some kind of relief after one visit. It was such a treat to just lie there and listen to relaxing music. After a few treatments my depression lifted and my hot flashes decreased. Several more visits my night sweats stopped and after while I started sleeping again! It was truly remarkable to start feeling like myself again. I still don't fully understand how it works but it does work. I highly recommend acupuncture for everyone going through menopause. It works and has no side effects!" J.R. ~ "I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for acupuncture treatment for ongoing pain in my feet after Morton's Neuroma Surgery. Before coming to you, I was taking 900 mg. of Neurontin every day and about to increase my dosage by another 300 mgs. This drug was making me foggy and affecting my memory. Walking was painful and this had been going on for over 2 years. I also tried alcohol injections and cortisone injections which did not help the pain. After 6 treatments, I have now been off the Neurontin completely for 2 weeks and feel great. I am walking comfortably and thrilled that I turned to acupuncture as a last resort. Besides helping my foot pain, you have lowered my blood pressure enough that I don't need to take the hydrochlorothiazide (water pill) that I was taking. The results have been amazing. Thanks again for all your help. You have changed my life." C.D. ~ "Thank you so much for helping me with my tendonitis/carpal tunnel syndrome. I am not sure which of these conditions it actually is but when I came to you I was in extreme pain. It was acute pain. I had the sensation of pins and needles and I could not utilize the full use of my left hand or wrist. I was really desperate for some relief. You gave me one acupuncture session and you threw in some Reiki as well. Again thank you!! I immediately began to feel relief. I realize that my problems are chronic; however, your treatments offered me full use of my left hand almost immediately and the pain subsided greatly. The next day I felt even better with no pain or tingling at all. I have not had any acute pain since having treatment with you!! I thank you so much for freeing me of pain." J.O. ~ "I can't believe the deep relaxation I feel during and after my acupuncture treatment. I usually only feel this relaxed when I am in my hot tub." M.M. ~ "I am writing in gratitude for the excellent results I have experienced from the acupuncture and cupping treatments I received from you. As a trauma survivor, I have come to expect that a certain amount of “training” will be necessary when I seek health care. I first inform my health care provider that I am a trauma survivor, then pause briefly to allow for their puppy-dog-head- tilt of confusion, and move on to say something like: “What this means for me in the context of this appointment is that I need your speech and actions to be slow and clear; I need you to explain what you are going to do before you do it; I need you to stop when I ask you to stop; and I need your patience when you ask questions because my answers may come slower than you would like.” I cannot describe the level of comfort and gratitude I felt when I told you that I was a trauma survivor and you did not tilt your head like a confused puppy dog! You treated me the way I wish to be treated without my “training” you to do so. I was able to be much less guarded and much more open to your treatments because I knew I could trust you to stay in conscious communication with me throughout the treatment. I am new to acupuncture and appreciated your providing just the right amount of education that left me feeling informed but not overwhelmed. I found your descriptions and techniques to be skilled, respectful, and filled with grace. I have enjoyed deep, long-lasting relief from my original symptoms as well as an overall sense of calm. You will definitely be seeing more of me! Thank you for being so great." L.P. |
