Businesses do not create brands; brands are defined by people and the unique combination of…read moreservices/products. Dr. Mari Galle creates every brand through her deep experience, education, and, most importantly, kindness. This review is for every place she has worked at, lifted up, and created (Dr. Mari Galle Acupuncture, Cancer Rehab, and Integrative Medicine, to The Desert Canary). ---- Pros: - She's a damn good human being - Decade+ of experience + education - Parking is easy - Calming Space; tranquil - Offers acupuncture, cupping, and more - Membership tiers available Side Notes: - Book early; She fills up quickly - Very different than a "spa" treatment - Hours vary (check hours and reach out) - Come early as she's back-to-back What I Got (This Time): - Cupping - Guasha ---- Design/Space: I went to the Cancer Rehab and Integration offices but peered into The Desert Canary's offices (located at the exact location, but upstairs). Both are spacious with a tranquil design (both in the rooms and the music playing). The Desert Canary is gorgeous, and the images I'll post below are of the main areas, as I didn't want to take pics of where potential clients were being treated. Services: I've had acupuncture before, and what I love about Dr. Mari Galle is that she's studied Eastern medicine for an incredibly long time, received her doctorate in it, and approaches clients as human beings, not numbers, where she simply tries to sell services and products. I've been to other spas and service providers, and it felt that they didn't understand my unique journey with what was and is going on with my body. They went in and did XYZ service, and I was done. Dr. Galle listened and, like a skilled practitioner, went in and started to target not only what was the issue but the underlying root cause of what was going on before the pain in my mid-lower back started. After my mother passed away this year, I knew I was storing a ton of inflammation all over my body, especially my back. She did her magic, explained what she saw, and ended with Guasha. Listen to what they have to say about post-care, too. I could literally feel my body removing toxins the next day, so it's essential to eat clean, drink plenty of water, and do the things they say not to do (drink alcohol, go do a cold plunge, etc.). Staff: As mentioned, Dr. Galle is incredible. I don't consider her a worker or staff member; she's a person I call a friend, and I trust her deeply. She's been there for our late mom and our family and has been a part of our healing journey for years. The culture and vision of what they do, from Dr. Mari Galle Acupuncture, Cancer Rehab, and Integrative Medicine to The Desert Canary, proves that people care more about you than treating you like a number. Opportunities To Improve: Give me BOGO free deals, hahaha. Honestly, you pay for what you get; trust me, you get what you pay for here. It's therapy backed by science, experience, and education. Also, duplicate Dr. Galle so I can get bookings on demand with her, and everyone else in Austin can get the help they need! ---- Summary: All of the businesses listed are places where I advocate for anyone who wants to stay proactive with their bodies to go at least once. Even if you are reactive, go here if you need help now. They say that when you are in your 20s, your body gives you credit to pay the bill later; when you hit your 40s, your body sends you the bill. It's no longer a warning; it's the consequence of how we pay for what we do to our bodies. Places like these are what our bodies need before it gets worse. Trust me, your body and mind will thank you (ask for Dr. Mari Galle!).

She treats any kind of Lymphedema, no matter what the cause is. She is incredibly knowledgeable and super passionate to make you feel better. Angela has a huge heart and a really sweet personality. I'll have to see her on a regular basis in the future and she makes it as easy as possible for me to cope with the Lymphedema...

Steven and getting acupuncture have changed my life and I now swear by acupuncture and TCM! Not only did I see actual lab results that acupuncture improved my health but I feel SO much better physically and mentally. I also learn so much every session with Steven! He has so much knowledge and truly wants to heal. Can't recommend Austin Quan Yin enough!

No one could make it stop so Dianne came up with a plan and after each visit, the pain was a little less until it was completely gone! Once we solved that we tackled some of my other chronic pain issues. I loved the battlefield acupuncture, the option of adding in supplements, and the general ambiance. I recommend Austin Quan Yin and Dianne to everyone who I think would benefit.

During my visit, we discussed a range of topics from my diet, to stress, and even allergies. We also had a conversation out Chinese medicine, acupuncture, chiropractics, and bioelectrics. Overall, Allison is an outstanding practitioner and I highly recommend her for anyone considering acupuncture!

Allison was absolutely extraordinary. I came in last minute…read morebecause of a migraine. She took the time to actively listen to my history and interacted with me through out the process. She sensed that I wanted to know the process so she explained step by step what she was doing and how it would work. On top of the acupuncture, Allison is very knowledgable of other ways to heal and educate myself holistically. The environment is friendly and welcoming. I felt safe and comfortable during the entire session. I highly recommend her as she treats you like She has known you for years. On top of that, by the time I left after only a single session, my migraine dissipated with no medicine.

I have been seeing Jessica for almost 3 years, after being diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer…read more She has incredible knowledge of the body and how the myofascial can hinder or assist the flow of blood (and essential nutrients) into all parts of the body. You can tell her process works as she is working on your body - you feel sort of releases in different areas as she is working on you. I feel that my cancer treatments are more effective with the relaxing of the myofacial. She has such a intuative nature, knowing what questions to ask in order to really understand your pains. Every appt begins with many questions of pain level, areas, levels of pain - then she begins treatment fully aware. I am so thankful to have found Jessica.

I had recently learned of Bowenwork and was not having good experiences with chiropractors. I have…read moreall kinds of spine issues from my tailbone up through my neck (C2), and needed to be adjusted regularly. I did Bowenwork in my area for a few months and then moved to the greater Austin area. I thought I would go as long as I could without any body work, but after a few months I found it increasingly difficult and painful to raise my legs for each step going up to my 2nd floor apartment. I could see that if I didn't do something I was going to have a particularly difficult time getting into my apartment. I found Jessica from the Bowenwork Academy's "Find a Practitioner" and saw that she had taken all the courses and had more than 500 hours of Bowenwork experience. After 3 times of going to Jessica, I realized while I was quickly and easily going up the stairs that I was not in any pain! It just happened so naturally, I didn't notice I was doing better. Jessica has also worked on my jaw (TMJ), my neck (weak voice), shoulders (tight and painful), pelvis, knee, wrists, lower back, hips and feet. Afterwards, I have to sleep and allow the Bowenwork nudges to awaken my body's healing response. Really, I wouldn't believe it, if I didn't experience it every time. And Jessica has a sense of what is needed, and how to address it. She expects a change, and adjusts what she does, if it's not forth coming. I have also had a session of therapeutic, restorative movement (not sure what she calls it - using special balls for self massage) and that session relaxed my muscles so much that again I had to sleep. Jessica is not in this business for the money. She tells me what I can do to help myself at home. She told me where to go to get the balls and how I could find the videos so I could work on myself at home. She could have all that in her office and mark up what is already really expensive, but as I said she's a body worker not a shrewd business person out to make a buck. Jessica is an honest, true healer. I highly recommend going to her a few times and then see if you really do need a chiropractor.

I've been seeing Debbie for treatment of what I'd originally describe as a 'hip issue' for about 3…read moreweeks now. I'm very pleased with her work. She is a highly skilled professional who went right to work to get to the root of my issues. She has listened to and validated my symptoms and therefore treated very effectively my issues with sciatica, hip/psoas pain, digestive issues and soft tissue problems. I've not seen any of their other practitioners but there are several and they have a steady client base. Some of what Debbie does with me I'd describe as energy work. I'm not adverse to that practice but was very surprised at the real difference it's made in my overall quality of life. However IMPORTANTLY I want to stress her ability with more traditional manual modalities are also highly skilled. I would def recommend this office to anyone looking to improve their quality of life with physical therapy- traditional and alternative medicines. Also the office and staff are conscientious in their cleaning and hygiene practices around covid.

I always leave our sessions together feeling lighter, happier, and completely pain-free!! Amy's work is nothing less than miraculous, and her presence is a wonderful gift to everyone she touches.

X-rays showed nothing was broken but I was still in horrific pain! What was I going to do?!?! Then a friend of mine suggested I meet Dr. Bailey. They had met her years ago at an event for women in Agriculture and she had helped my friend with various neck, back, and shoulder pain over the years. My friend said that Dr. B was different than what I had experienced before... (I thought "okkkkk" lol) I was in horrible pain and had nothing left to lose, so I text Dr. B and scheduled an appointment. Dr. Bailey was so kind and so gentle!! There were no moments of being scared or being jerked on. In fact, it was quite relaxing. The pain and my anxiety had both faded by the time she was done working on me. I actually felt better! Best part, she didn't try to sell me a huge session package for $X thousands of dollars like the last guy. She just helped me and made me feel like I have a choice and a say in my healthcare plan! Dr. Bailey gave me my life back after back pain had threatened to take it away. Make your appointment today. Thanks, Dr. B!
