I enjoy helping active people achieve their goals and get back to doing what they love after injury. I view injury as an opportunity to learn about one's body mechanics, habits and potential muscle imbalances so you can return to your sport or activity stronger and smarter.

They were able to get me in with one days notice. It was a great massage, and very helpful for my back. I will definitely be scheduling again. Thanks!

My first experience with acupuncture was awesome! Al was super professional, a great listener, and put me at ease through the whole process. Looking forward to my next appointment and I even convinced one of my teens to give it a try for an old sports injury. Parking is a bit tight in the area and for some reason the patrons of Tabor Bread insist on taking up two spots in front of Turning Pointe. Could be a morning thing but I would arrive early.

Al is fantastic and very skilled at knowing how to bring healing to the body. As a first timer to acupuncture, Al made me feel comfortable and at ease. The environment itself is tranquil the moment you walk in. Thank you Al and Turning Pointe for a great experience!

Turning Pointe has been a game-changer for my chronic back pain. I've seen Al for over six acupuncture sessions and I'm impressed by the skillful technique and knowledge that is applied at each appointment. Al is the first one to successfully treat my pain with the potential to cure it. I'm considering cupping next, which I've shied away from until now that I have someone treating me that I trust. I've also seen Brent for massage and he is a mindreader in finding the knots and releasing tight tissues. Brent's deep understanding of how everything is connected comes through in his healing approach

This was my first time getting cupping and acupuncture and I absolutely loved it. The environment was calm and clean and they know what they are doing. I left feeling better and am wearing these cupping marks proudly. I will definitely be going back.

After one treatment I can already feel a shift! Emily listens carefully and responds accurately. With similar athletic and dance backgrounds, I trust her completely in treating my ongoing injury and enhancing my recovery. I'm also amazed at using this practice for hormone balancing! I have never received acupuncture before but I can already see a happy future together :)

I have been blown away by my experience with Turning Pointe Acupuncture! I engaged with them a month ago and my acupuncturist/ herbalist, Meghan Keysboe, has been amazing to work with. Not only is she incredibly professional and knowledgeable, but she has the most sincere and compassionate approach which makes you feel comforted throughout the entire process. I truly felt that Meghan and the Turning Pointe Acupuncture staff listened to my fears and never once dismissed my concerns. I could not recommend them more highly!

Had a great Acupuncture Treatment with Meghan. It was relaxing and efficient. One issue has been sleeping patterns and I literally had the best night sleep since the treatment that I've had in months. I'm also already experiencing a ton of relief for the ailment I initially came in for. Great service & experience.

Emily is a great acupuncturist. Very knowledgable and passionate about what she does. She understands the systems of the body very well and helps you get to the root of the problem, rather than just focus on the symptoms. I highly recommend Emily and Turning Pointe Acupuncture.
