Testimonials

	Fertility
	My husband and I struggled with infertility for over a year before I investigated acupuncture as an alternative. Within four months of regular treatments we found out we were expecting. After 14 months of IUI and IVF cycles, we became pregnant naturally! I am a believer and cannot stress enough how much I believe this is the single contributing factor to our success. Without Alison’s experience and support, I do not believe we would have been able to conceive. Her ability to make you feel like her only patient and how she tailored treatments far exceeded my expectations. - Jennifer G. (33 years old)
	Shoulder Pain
	For several years I had sharp pain in my shoulder when I tried to lift my arm above my head. Although I had doubts about the effectiveness of acupuncture, I thought I would give it a try. I was amazed! After only one session, Alison eliminated most of my shoulder pain. After a few sessions I was able to throw a football with my grandsons. - Robert P. (63 years old)
	Neck Pain
	I was referred to Alison by my Chiropractor and Massage Therapist because I had sharp pain in my neck and upper back. I called Alison and she made room for me the next day. The first treatment helped quite a bit and overall I felt very relaxed. My second treatment was amazing, about halfway through I could feel my back unlocking in steps, it was unbelievable! When I left her building I had no trouble turning to see if there was traffic coming up behind me, something very uncomfortable before that treatment. I am very satisfied with her help and I have recommended her to others. - Joseph M. (25 years old)
	Anxiety
	Thanks to Alison and her skills in acupuncture, I am able to do everyday activities like going to work, grocery store, or even a friend’s house. I tried medications before acupuncture but the side effects were sometimes worse. This is a great all natural way to feel healthy. Alison makes me feel comfortable and relaxed every visit. She is also informative about how acupuncture works. - Maria C. (26 years old)
	Acid Reflux
	After six years of pain and various medications a friend suggested acupuncture. I was willing to try a different approach and it was incredible! After the first visit, I felt so much better. After the second visit my symptoms had gone completely. Alison made me feel completely at ease during treatments and I’ve been really pleased with the results. - Michelle J. (38 years old)
	General Health and Wellness
	Before beginning treatments with Alison I had suffered for years with numerous health problems including asthma, back pain, stress, and more recently infertility. Alison’s treatments have targeted each of these issues and I have received tremendous improvements. My asthma is under control, my back pain is improved, I am calmer and more relaxed throughout the day, and expecting a baby in August! I have recommended Alison to my friends and family because I truly believe her treatments have added to my quality of life. - Lisa C. (28 years old)
