Food & Seasonal Allergies
"I have been struggling with food/seasonal allergies all my life and recently went to Denise to see if I could improve on the health of my autoimmune system. I also had fibromyalgia-like symptoms and dry eyes. I went not really knowing what to expect, but hoping for relief in one or more of these areas. After only 2 sessions, my muscle pain has eased considerably, my eye pain has been greatly reduced, I'm sleeping better and my seasonal allergies are also at bay. Denise is amazing to work with. She really listens to you and works to find a way to help your body heal itself. This is a wonderful part of a total health regimen." (Female, 54)
Shoulder Pain
"I am actually shocked at how much better my shoulder feels after just one visit with you. Thank you so much! I have been hearing about acupuncture and cupping for years now but never tried it. I only wish I would have tried it sooner." (Female, 35)
Stress
"Never having experienced acupuncture before, I really didn't know what to expect. On my first visit, Denise made me feel so comfortable, and I quickly gained confidence in her knowledge and capability. Acupuncture has successfully addressed many issues for me, both physical, emotional and stress related. This is a fascinating discipline, and a wonderful alternative to medication." (Female, 51)
