Therapeutic massage sessions target muscle tension and improve circulation through various techniques including Swedish and deep tissue approaches. Treatments range from 30-minute sessions to extended therapy periods addressing chronic pain, stress reduction, and athletic recovery needs.

Jesse was recommended by my dear friend, Nedda, as I wanted to add acupuncture to my more traditional treatment plan for Hodgkin's lymphoma. She was professional, caring and her experience showed in her expertise when inserting the needles. Jesse has great energy and her environment was warm and welcoming. I will be going weekly from now on as part of my self care plan. Thank you Nedda for introducing me to your colleague.

Jesse was so sweet, attentive, and very skillful with what she was doing. She talked me through everything she was doing and why, I appreciated that greatly. Not forgetting that everything she did made me feel amazing and overall more at peace. She does not fail to be thoughtful and caring for her patients along with taking a very warm and welcoming approach to you and your symptoms.

Simply said, Jesse is a miracle worker. There is no where else I'd go for Acupuncture. I am a two-year breast cancer survivor and had pains (physical & mental) from all the cancer drugs. I don't know where I'd be without Jesse's knowledge, talent and treatment. Thank you, Jesse!

Coming to Willow Tree Acupuncture was meant to be!! Never tried acupuncture before. I was thinking this wouldn't help? Going for a year or more and WOW! The treatments have helped my lower back pain.These last 2 months pain level 0-1, where at times has been much higher. I'm very grateful for Jesse's care! It's nice to know that if I happen to do too much and my back hurts, I can call Willow Tree and be seen soon....I give Jesse and her staff 10 thumbs up!!!!!!!!!!

I had never experienced acupuncture before visiting Willow Tree. I was hoping for a spiritual/emotional boost as a result of Jesse's care. I've definitely experienced that...but also so much more. My digestive system feels stronger than it's ever been before. I'm managing stress better and sleeping more soundly. And the chronic pain in my knees that has plagued me for more than 25 years is virtually gone. (Turns out knee pain and digestive function are related. Wow. Who knew?) Visits to Willow Tree have become a sacred part of my self-care routine. I can't say enough good things about Jesse or
