Acupuncture was something recommended to me for a loooong time…read more
I was afraid and it seemed a very unusual treatment, also, did it work? So I just didn't go. It was just too different for me. And needles? Are you kidding? (Actually that made me kind of curious, how does it work?) But my health got pretty bad and I was willing to try anything to feel better.
I started trying acupuncturists in the big city... I kid of lucked out, the third person I saw... wow! She was amazing. I saw her for years. Those visits healed and changed my life.
I couldn't believe I had waited to long to try it, there were such profound results available to me after just a few visits with someone great. So I kept it up, she kind of became my therapist, life coach, doctor all in one.
I was very happy and told all my friends who were interested in acupuncture. (Who agreed, so I have some credit here on knowing a good acupuncturist when I get poked by one.)
Unfortunately, I had to move too far away for visits - I could no longer see her.
In my new location, I started searching and searching for someone as good. I tried several acupuncturists, and the experience was... okay. Sometimes even very strange. And one, kind of terrible, to be honest. But I wasn't going to give up. I knew how much wellbeing there was possible, I knew how good it COULD be.
After two YEARS of looking, I found Julia Shengaout!
This acupuncturist is one of the best in the country-IMHO! She really knows what she is doing, is caring and listens. I have been a patient for a long time and she is stellar.
Her insight on acupuncture points, her bedside manner and her administrative perfection are an incredible combo that is truly rare.
If you are considering acupuncture, or considering traveling a little further outside your area, she is worth it!
It's a dreamy cloud of rest and relaxation and I feel amazing every time I visit her. I'm so grateful that I found her and I want to save you time searching for someone else and also tell you, the time in these sessions is a gift to yourself. It is deep care. And it might seem unusual at first, but the rewards are INCREDIBLE.
I rely on acupuncture as part of my overall care for many years and over that time it has helped me with asthma, allergies, back pain, joint pain, depression, stress, anxiety and worry, etc. It's not just the acupuncture itself, it's the whole visit, the realization, the consultation, the advice that is given and it's a very holistic approach to wellness.
I have let the sessions feeling hopeful, happy and yes... blissed out.
In the middle of the countryside is one of the best acupuncturists around. GO. If you have the opportunity, schedule a few visits. It's a cumulative effect and it really becomes a safe haven to have this special time/space for recovery and exploration. (I had started because I heard it could help with fertility - there are so many benefits!)
Okay, it's obvious I'm obsessed. But when you find something that works when others fail, you get passionate. I hope you have a great experience - I certainly did!
Thank you thank you thank you Julia Shengaout!
