I go into the office with considerable pain and come out with little if any pain. I would recommend Shannon for acupuncture for everyone. I hate needles and she relieves my pain almost instantly...without freaking me out about the needles. It's hard for me to decide if I now enjoy a deep tissue massage more, or the acupuncture. I guess I will have to find a balance. Thank you for the care and pain relief you bless me with.

I was really surprised to find the receptionist not wearing a mask during a massive Covid outbreak. Health clinics especially need to follow health guidelines and not contribute to the spread of the virus.
Edit: The staff in question was not wearing a shield when talking with a client less than a foot away and was walking around the office without one as well. The research as to whether or not vaccinated people can carry the virus is inclusive making having fully vaccinated staff safer for staff but not for clients. If you respect the severity of the virus and do not want to put yourself at risk

Shannon (acupuncturist) took really good care of my injured shoulder and Tammy (front desk) was always welcoming and fun to talk to. Even if you don't like needles very much (me!), you will feel comfortable, warm, and on your way to healing immediately. I fell asleep on the table every time haha. :)

Shannon is amazing. I struggled for years with symptoms and just had to keep increasing my meds. After one treatment with Shannon it was 90% gone. Anything I get treatment for feels better after seeing her. And she's so nice and welcoming too.
