Alison is the best for acupuncture. She really listens to what your concerns are and addresses them. Shes really thorough and explains what shes doing. She was able to help me with my PCOS symptoms and now I have a little one of my own.

After my intake time with Alison, and after just one acupuncture treatment, I felt confident she could help me with some very specialized needs. It's been six months now, and with Alison's expertise and encouragement, I've found stability, ease, and continued progress with my health. I recommend this avenue of wellness, and particularly Alison, as a doctor of Chinese medicine, to all of my friends who need such help.

I originally met Alison as a co-practitioner at Sundara Wellness as a pelvic floor therapist. At Sundara, we often referred patients to acupuncture, or vice versa, as a means of providing holistic care to address the complex needs of our patients. I initially made an appointment to see alison to address some of my generalized health concerns, but primarily to have a better idea of what to expect out of a visit with her, and acupuncture in general. I was absolutely blown away. Alison provided the most comprehensive intake and health screen I had ever experienced. She took the time to have deep

I was under Alison's care when her practice was based in NYC. I cannot say enough about how much her services helped my neck and back. She addressed all my issues: carrying a heavy bag, holding two young children (often simultaneously) and sitting incorrectly at a work desk all day. She is a master at identifying problem areas and alleviating pain associated with them. I regret that she is no longer practicing in New York but Memphis is so lucky to have Alison working there!

Alison is incredibly caring, intuitive, and warm. She is thorough and will work with you to get a full picture of your physical and emotional health. I was initially a little skeptical about acupuncture but wanted to be open in seeking out options for treating jaw clenching and teeth grinding. After my sessions with Alison, there was an immediate sense of relief from the tightness and a marked release of the jaw muscles. Acupuncture with Alison became an important part of my overall well-being and I always looked forward to our sessions. I can't recommend Alison enough. We miss you in New York

It has taken me a long time to write a review because I did not want it to become more difficult to schedule an appointment... How selfish! Alison has been key to my ability to function day to day as she's worked with me for the last year and a half to work through my migraines. At first our sessions were focused on decreasing my suffering during a long spell of migraines (migraine lasting 3 weeks with minimal relief). Medication from a neurologist would not relieve the pain, nausea and irritation of light and sound. After two seasons, the pain not only was reduced but my migraine was gone! I had
