My family doctor prescribed muscle relaxers and pain medications, but as an RN myself I am aware of the consequences of using these drugs long-term.

I continue to see Marie as a part of maintaining my health. She has helped me recover from a foot injury, digestive issues, and is currently working with me on symptoms of PMS. Marie is gentle, easy to talk to to, and very knowledgeable. I am very thankful for Marie and I know you will be, too!

A very relaxing, unique, refreshing, and fun experience. I have allergies and take over the counter Meds. I didn't feel anything different with my allergies while I was in the salt spa but for three days after my visit I didn't need my allergy meds. I saw a lot of people reading a book while they were in the spa and wish I had brought one. It was a wonderful experience and I would love to do it on a regular basis.

East West Integrated Medicine, established by Nita Desai M.D., is helping me become healthy after…read moredecades of conventional care that did more harm than good. The Louisville office and their Salt Spa in Lakewood provide revolutionary and effective services supported by ancient and modern science, some used in conventional medical settings that tend to be inaccessible or unknown to the general public, for example, Lymphatic Massage and PEMF. The emphasis in Ayurvedic consultation is similarly on prevention and understanding of health, helping clients learn their individual health tendencies and risk areas and how to support their own well being. Ayurveda is based on results over thousands of years, and other services on effective newer technologies, scientifically proven-- thereby providing proven therapies from both ancient and modern wisdom. I belonged to Kaiser through employment for many years, both here and in the east, and found their version of preventive medicine ineffective, more corporate than scientific, and relying often on incomplete understanding of health problems, and problematic medications that attempted to address only symptoms, not causes. East West is utterly unique, even for the Boulder area with its progressive reputation, and possibly for the whole country. We're lucky to have them. While there are many other alternative or complementary offerings in town, these tend to be limited, and often of unknown quality or un-researched. One can easily invest significant time and resources in any number of alternative practices. It's relatively easy in Colorado to hang out an alternative practitioner shingle. It isn't easy to establish an effective, more accountable alternative practice, let alone one that is cutting edge, based on considerable training in both conventional and complementary medicine, and meeting standards in both areas. I only wish I had found East West earlier.

I've spent months deliberating this testimonial. Without writing a small novel there is no way to…read morecapture what Dr Sigmond has done for me and the steps she took to get me here. I can only relay a shadow of my experience, but I implore you to really hear me when I say... she has CHANGED. MY. LIFE. A year ago, I was defeated and resigned to being chronically ill. I was down to a small number of "safe" foods. Chronic fatigue/stress, dysregulated hormones, bloating, weight gain and pain were my daily fight. I had inflammatory reactions to everything, including exercise. My ability to be present with my family, run my businesses with a clear brain, or enjoy a moment of life were all impaired. I saw dozens of doctors (eastern and western) and I always landed back on the tightrope of managing my precarious health. My symptoms and reactions to traditional treatments didn't match textbook explanations and most doctors stopped looking for answers. I sit here today... balanced, clear minded, full of flavorful foods (no more restrictions beyond my celiac disease) and immensely hopeful. I've lost count of how many "good days" I've strung together - a year ago it was mere hours. I dare to say that this is how healthy people live. Dr Sigmond took the time to dive deep into what didn't make sense. With each test (from my genetics to my mitochondria) Dr Sigmond unlocked doors, uncovered answers and ultimately made sense from mystery. She was kind, conscientious, gentle, and simultaneously stubborn in her determination to lead me to health. My medical journey has been the better part of my 46 years. I'll spare you the details... it was a snowball of growing illnesses & sensitivities. I'm happy to say that I have managed to shed much of that weight - metaphorically and literally. Whether your story is simple, complicated, or merely preventative... I truly believe that Dr Sigmond has the intellect and determination to optimize your physical, mental, and emotional wellness.

The comfort is similar to that of a visit to the therapist, plus bodywork. Christine is a kind individual, gentle in spirit, who is always checking in with if anything feels uncomfortable, when to push through discomfort and when it's best to remove a needle. She has been well trained and knows where nerves connect to and from and is intuitive when it comes to energy blockage release. I only get to treat myself a couple times a year, however it's always like riding a bike...you get on an everything is wonderful and familiar. Christine makes a welcoming environment that reminds me of a spa. She has lots of experience, not to mention, she does different things pre and post acupuncture, including things like massage and cupping [using slightly heated small glass bulbs that vacuum seal (light-medium suction) to your skin]. I can't wait to go again soon, though my schedule has recently changed and I don't know that it's at all conducive to hers, though Christine is also wonderfully flexible as far as availability. I'll have to see if she can squeeze me in! DRINK WATER AFTER YOUR VISIT TO FLUSH ALL THE TOXINS AWAY. She also has an excellent selection of herbs, supplements and tinctures that are very helpful.

She has a wonderful touch and trustworthy technique. My husband had much needed results in managing neck and knee pain. I have also received her care and as someone who did not like the feel of acupuncture (though I know it works) going into the treatment, Christine worked with me in a way that eased my anxiety and opened up the possibility of using acupuncture more often and comfortably. Trust yourself and your family with Christine!
