Ashlie was recommended to me by another accupuncturist because she specalistizes in treating pregnant women. I had a difficult pregnancy due to some unexpected life stressors as well as some unexpected health concerns. I was looking for someone to help me relax and reset my nervous system: Ashlie did so much more than that. Week by week she assessed my symptoms and how I was feeling physically and emotionally. She helped me navigate what I was experiencing, minimize symptoms, and maintain as much balance as possible during an incredibly difficult time for me. When it became too much for me to go

I met Ashlie late in my third trimester through the wonderful Sweet Pea's Studio. From the moment I walked in the door, her warmth and confidence put me at ease and I knew that both me (and my baby) were in good hands. I purchased a maternity package, which included visits while pregnancy and after delivery. Ashlie was able to relieve many of my pregnancy aches and pains and assist with relaxation in my final weeks prior to delivery. Her treatment also included acupuncture to help aid natural induction (I went into labor the same evening!). During labor, she was available to offer guidance to my

My treatments with Ashlie have been so beneficial. I didn't know a lot about TCM or acupuncture before seeing Ashlie so she did a great job of explaining everything and asking questions to give me the best possible care. My initial visits were focused on stress and circulation issues but have come to learn there are many things acupuncture and TCM can help with and some problems have been almost immediately fixed upon a treatment or two with Ashlie. I highly recommend Moon Hill Acupuncture for any problems or concerns you may be having or to maintain a balance with your health as well!

I saw Ashlie for some issues with sciatica. Her professionalism and knowledge was impressive. She was able to give me relief and tips on how to improve my condition through diet and stretches. I appreciated the relief she was able to give me.
