I've been working with Amy for over two years now. What started as acupuncture and cupping has turned into so much more as Amy has grown her knowledge, experience and healing capabilities. Recently, Amy shared with me the concept of intermittent fasting (which is limiting your meals to an 8 hour window each day). I'd never thought this was a lifestyle that could work for me or my body, but I trust Amy completely so I gave it a try. And the result of my experiment is that I've lost 25 pounds, with what I truly feel has been minimal effort! It was a small, easy shift in eating + maintaining a regular

I starting seeing Amy over 3 years ago and she has literally changed my life. Her expertise with creating an individual diet, suggesting supplements, and giving Acupunture/massage treatments made a significant improvement on my health during a time that I felt completely defeated and overwhelmed . I have seen integrative practitioners for over 20 years for chronic health issues and have never worked with someone who is so attentive, knowledgeable, and clearly so committed to healing people. She thinks outside the box and digs deep to figure out the root of ones health challenges. While working

Report
I came to see Amy for back pain after I had an accident at work. I had an large object fall on my mid back from 15 feet above me and landed in the ER. Amy treated me the day after my accident and the acupuncture treatment helped reduce my pain dramatically. I also came back for several more treatments and I believe this helped me get back to work much sooner. I am very grateful and now I see Amy periodically for tune-ups and she helps keep my back healthy and pain-free!
