Seasonal tune-up
I started with Rachel over 6 years ago when, after trying for 6 months to get pregnant I needed additional support. After 2 or 3 treatments I was pregnant. Over the years I would see her periodically. But now since Covid hit, I go to her seasonally to maintain my wellness. We do work that aligns my being with the changing seasons and also addresses personal goals that I may have on a physical, emotional,… Keep reading “Seasonal tune-up”

Reassuring nature

Teenager reaction
Her treatments made my son calm and relaxed. He never minded the needles. Rachel treated my son for several years. My son was a teen at the time and non-verbal and non-mobile. Rachel was always compassionate and understanding. Her treatments made my son calm and relaxed and were complimentary to other holistic therapies we were doing. He never minded the needles. Rachel was always sensitive to his needs and directed her treatments to those needs.
Guided by Rachel
I’ll admit, when I first started acupuncture, I wasn’t sure if it was where I should be. It cost money, it took an evening out of my week, and who knows if it would really work. But as the weeks went by, I stopped second guessing my choice. Week and after week, I was continually surprised by the dirt our sessions dredged up within me. The physical ailments I first came in for were really… Keep reading “Guided by Rachel”
Amazing experience
My experience with Rachel as a practitioner was an amazing learning experience. With her I learned how to be more myself. I described to my friends often that acupuncture was like “embodied therapy.” I had gone to therapy since I was in high school as a way to release my feelings and get reassuring that they were normal and I could deal with them. In acupuncture I felt for the first time how my emotions… Keep reading “Amazing experience”

Acupuncturist jackpot
I had complete trust in Rachel’s ability to provide a supportive environment and treatment that would aid in sustaining and maintaining my pregnancy. I cannot say enough about my experience with Rachel. The fact that she was within minutes of my residence was my initial attraction, and I immediately realized that I had hit the “acupuncturist jackpot”, and she was different from other Acupuncturists I had seen in the past. Emotionally and physically, I was a… Keep reading “Acupuncturist jackpot”
Conception after acupuncture!
I got pregnant on my first attempt after I started treatment with Rachel. At first, I was skeptical about whether or not Acupuncture could help me, but after 7 unsuccessful IUI cycles, some with hormones, I was ready to try anything. Rachel did a great job of asking about my entire body and life, beyond specifically my fertility. She explained what she was doing and made me feel at ease with this unfamiliar form of… Keep reading “Conception after acupuncture!”
