Candice is also a great communicator - she explains what she's doing, how it will feel, and what kind of results we should get. She is also very up front about things that acupuncture is more effective or less effective at treating. So far our results have been very good, and we're confident that she'll continue to make a big difference for us. She's also very reasonably priced (sliding scale) and that helps as well. I would definitely recommend Candice and The Wellness Haven.

It was Friday, September 27, 2024, that my life changed overnight. I went from being completely…read morehealthy--perfect bloodwork, no medications, a clean organic diet, slim and fit--to being crippled overnight. I am a Clinical Psychologist, Assistant Clinical Professor at Yale University, and a full-time private practitioner. I love my work and my patients. But now, I am the patient. After having two infected molars extracted--remnants of childhood root canals--I suffered a stroke just a day and a half later, paralyzing the right side of my body. My neurologist at Yale's Stroke Clinic believes bacteria entered my bloodstream from the procedure. I was prescribed antibiotics only on the day of extraction, not before. I had always been fiercely independent. Suddenly, I was helpless. Lying in bed, unable to move, I was consumed by an anxiety I had never known. The fear was paralyzing. Nights were sheer terror--I felt trapped in darkness, convinced morning would never come. My body wouldn't move, my mind raced, and the isolation of night made it unbearable. Sleep, crucial for brain repair after a stroke, was impossible. Desperate for relief, I reached out to Xilin Feng Jordan, the owner of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine. She had successfully treated me for a shoulder issue a decade earlier, and I knew I needed her expertise again. The universe works in mysterious ways--without Xilin, I don't know where I'd be. She is my miracle, my healer--physically, emotionally, and spiritually. With experience treating stroke patients in a Chinese hospital, she makes magic happen. Now, five months post-stroke, while I continue traditional rehab, it is Xilin's acupuncture--four to five times a week--that drives my recovery. I arrive struggling to move, and by the end of each session, I have more mobility than before. Walking, lifting my arm, moving my fingers--all remain challenges, but every day, I grow stronger. Her son, Libai, currently getting his degree in acupuncture, adds to her brilliance, offering insightful and effective recommendations. How wonderful it is to get two brilliant minds. Xilin is more than a practitioner; she is a spiritual healer. The energy she and Libai radiate is infectious. She lives what she teaches, recommending transformative books like The Magic of Surrender by Kute Blackson, The Secret by Rhonda Byrne, Believe in Yourself by Joseph Murphy, The Untethered Soul by Michael A. Singer, and You Can Heal Your Life by Louise Hay. At her suggestion, I now use a Biomat--an FDA-licensed infrared heating pad infused with amethyst and tourmaline, combining far-infrared light and negative ion technology. Every night, I lay on it for an hour while listening to audiobooks. This simple practice has been invaluable to my healing. In addition to acupuncture, Xilin prescribed two powerful herbal formulas. One calmed my crippling nighttime anxiety, allowing me to sleep--something I feared I had lost forever. That intervention was life-changing. Sleep is essential for stroke recovery; it's when the brain repairs itself. Without it, healing stalls. Xilin's medicine gave me back my nights, which in turn, gave me back my recovery. Recovery demands full commitment--physically, mentally, and emotionally. The mind holds immense power. If you believe you won't recover, you won't. Even with the best care, a negative mindset will sabotage progress. We are the product of our beliefs. Xilin has reshaped my perspective. I've let go of anger at the dentist who didn't prescribe antibiotics earlier. Instead, I focus entirely on the present--on healing. My journey is built on Xilin's extraordinary acupuncture, Chinese herbs, healthy eating, quality sleep, physical therapy, rehab, and the wisdom found in the books she recommended. Most importantly, she believes in me, and that belief helps me believe in myself. Her confidence in making a full recovery gives me the strength to keep going. That trust, that unwavering faith in my ability to heal, is just as crucial as any treatment. It is the foundation of my progress, and for that, I am endlessly grateful.

For 2 months every day around 5pm I was feeling terrible bloating and reflux and going to sleep…read morebecame very difficult. I couldn't eat much, and I ended up losing 8 pounds in this period. I went twice to my regular doctor who didn't help me much other than request a bunch of exams and saying to take "over the counter medicines" which were not helping at all. Very frustrated I decided to search for a good Chinese acupuncturist and after reading the reviews for Xilin Feng Jordan, I decided to make an appointment. Xilin does the first appointment via video, online. The appointment lasted around 45 minutes when Xilin asked me a lot of questions about my problem and my health. I was surprised with the connections she made with other health problems and with her true interest in knowing more about me. Xilin is not only an experience acupuncturist (I checked online all the designations she carries (Lac, DAc, Dipl. Ac, MSTOM) which tells me that she is always studying, and she mentioned to me that she recently got a certificate from the Back Center in United Kingdom for Bach Flower Therapy. She said that she can use this amazing tool to address patients emotional stress in-depth and to help people enhance their life qualities and prevent emotional induced physical pain. Xilin also specializes in herbs. I believe that the herbs she prescribed to me, in the first week, played a major role in my healing. The leftovers of those miracle/powerful herbs (it is a mixing of various herbs) would stick in my mug and I can imagine what it did inside; no surprise even the night secretion that was coming to my mouth during those 2 months simply disappeared. I went 3 times for acupuncture and from now on Xilin will be my to go person for acupuncture/herbs. Xilin never asked me to do a review, I am doing it because I am so grateful that she gave my life back and I hope I can help other people with the same problem to heal themselves. I feel totally fine, no more bloating of reflux.

I have been a long standing client of Patricia's for over 15 years. She came highly recommended, to…read moreme, by one of my clients. I was having a problem with my knees. Pain, especially when I had to walk down stairs. I had been doing physical therapy for a few months to no avail. I was totally "sold" when, at my first session, Patricia corrected my problem by concentrating on my hips, not my knees as to the source of my pain. After my first therapy session, I got up and literally ran in place with no knee pain. It was miraculous! Another magical cure was for trigger finger. This time, Patricia did an acupuncture treatment which unblocked the energy path which was causing my fingers to lock when in a closed or fist-like position and severe pain when trying to open my hand. This too was a one time treatment. Note, previously, I had surgery on the other hand for the same condition. I am left with scar tissue and loss of a range in motion of my fingers on that hand to this day. Patricia is extremely intuitive. No matter what your issue, she tunes in and figures out an appropriate treatment or therapy. Whether it be physical or psychological she can deal with it all. She's wise, compassionate, understanding and a great listener. Her office is comfortable and relaxing. I always leave feeling a sense of peacefulness and calmness. Patricia has enhanced my life!
