Patient Testimonials:
“When she expanded to micro-needling I had to try it. I’ve had two sessions out of my four part series and I can already see results especially on my deep forehead wrinkles.” - Jan M.
“I was referred to Anne for acupuncture sessions as part of my naturopath’s treatment plan for me. I never had acupuncture before, I was fearful and wary, and my health was in a very weakened state. From my very first interaction with Anne, I felt safe, calm, and hopeful that my health would improve. Anne’s positive energy, extensive knowledge and experience and dedication to helping her patients put my mind at ease and my body on the fast track to healing. I feel extraordinarily grateful and blessed that she has come into my life. She is a true healer.” -Debra P.
“I came to Anne for support in my cancer treatment. She had many ideas and therapies that went beyond just needles. I was thoroughly impressed with the results as well as the time she took to understand my problems at the beginning of each session. I have the highest praise for her work!” - Bryon G.
“I noticed a difference after my first microneedling treatment. I highly recommend Anne for anyone who is interested in improving the texture of their skin while reducing scars, fine lines, and pore size. Anne always makes sure I’m comfortable and she knows how to create a calming space. She truly is the best!” - Lisa S.
“At 50, I found myself with a group chronic conditions brought about by time, family genetics, accidents and lifestyle. Anne found effective ways to reverse some of my conditions…I’m getting better. Underneath it all, the insights brought about by Western doctors’ diagnostics have been gracefully integrated into the formation of treatment plans. With the balance Anne brings through acupuncture treatment, council and herbal remedies, things are looking up. I’m finding ways to eat better and to stay with my exercise plans. Thanks Anne for all your help! “ - Sam C.
“For the past few years I have been working through several concurrent chronic health issues. I have elected to go about these issues in a natural way and was referred to Anne by my healthcare practitioner. I had only done acupuncture once or twice in the past and didn’t notice any significant changes, but after working with Anne I can personally attest to the amazing results that acupuncture can produce. When I work with Anne, I can feel energy moving and the symptoms we are targeting change during the session and these changes continue after the session as well. One big challenge I have been tackling is detoxification and Anne has seen me on some rough days and has helped to get things moving so that I begin to feel better. Anne puts the pieces of your health together to make a holistic treatment plan that will make anyone a believer in acupuncture if you just give it a try. She is also incredibly caring and invested in your health, which is what I value and look for in any practitioner. I would highly recommend Anne to anyone who needs some extra support with their health. ” - Jillie J.
“I was nervous about trying acupuncture because the idea of needles seemed a bit intimidating. But I was suffering from tendonitis and eager to try something that wouldn’t involve more ibuprofen or other drugs. Anne has a very gentle touch, and I’ve always felt relaxed during my treatments. She also has a great bedside manner. She asks about my symptoms, listens to what’s going on in my life, and makes appropriate suggestions. I highly recommend Anne to anyone looking for an acupuncturist.” - Maria M.
