Heide is amazing! She has helped me get my allergies under better control and has helped me avoid a cold on more than one occasion. I highly recommend her!

Had a fantastic session with Chuck the Medical Medium. Stuff that I thought was resolved was really resolved. Found ways to deal with injuries that were new and suggestions to get other areas of the body checked and when. Super helpful in personal matters as well. Booked for months out, but it's worth it.

I have a long time chronic lower back problem, but I always feel relaxed & balanced after having an acupuncture session with Heide, which can certainly trigger the self-balance system in my body. As a Chinese, I need to admit Heide is an exceptional healer, great listener, and incredibly knowledgeable herbalist of Chinese medicine. Her office is clean, friendly, and inviting. The fire room is warm and relaxing and I never feel rushed with Heide. She takes the time to get to know my symptoms after the previous visit and makes a treatment plan from there. Even my work stress can be relieved

Heide is amazing! Decided to give acupuncture a try after my anxiety was becoming unbearable and I came across Tongbu. From the first phone call she was super attentive and caring. She wanted to help me and that gave me the reassurance this was the place for me. Right after my first session my anxiety dissolved. Took away that cloud of fear. She really cares. I'm so happy to be working with her to dissolve all this stress. Please do yourself a favor and hit her up!!!
