    So grateful Brandy helped me regain my health!  I was so scared.
    Eden S.

    I found my way to Brandy Augustine 4 1/2 years ago via referral.  I didn't know then but this would prove to be the most important referral of my life, finally finding the right person who could solve my health challenges that eluded so many doctors, including naturopaths, Chinese medicine, homeopaths and functional docs. I'd put on weight (looking back it was all inflammation), developed all kinds of food sensitivities, wasn't digesting properly, had disrupted sleep patterns, hormones were all over the place, I had rashes, itchiness, and so much irritability. When another health practitioner referred me to Brandy, she was described as "the last person people go to when they can't find answers or get better.  She can fix anyone." I can probably write a book about all the things I appreciate about Brandy, her super cool approachable bedside manner being one of them, but she really knows the body and doesn't overcomplicate.  She works at the basic level of how our bodies are supposed to function, giving them the support needed to clear out everything that shouldn't be there, while building up the system to full strength. What I appreciate most about Brandy's approach is her chosen diagnostic modality. She's a real scientist and has found that more accurate than even blood work and other traditional diagnostic tools (although she does utilize them from time to time) is Applied Kinesiology (aka muscle testing).  This is a method for using the body's own information and wisdom to identify it's top priorities in terms of what needs to be addressed first, and is able to peel back one layer at a time eventually revealing the core dysfunction.  When nothing else is in the way, the root cause can be treated and healed. Using AK allows her to test which specific supplements your body needs in order to be at full strength, and at what specific doses. This takes all of the frustrating guess work that's present with all other doctors I've worked with in the past, and offers a very efficient approach based on your body's own information. Have you ever had doctors say "buy all these supplements (then reads the back of the label to give you the suggested dose) and then come back in a few months and we'll run your blood again?"  They are most often guessing and hoping their ideas work.  This leads to many months or years of chasing your tail only to not improve much and still feel completely off.  I went through this for years. My body, mindset and approach to wellness have completely transformed since starting to see Brandy.  I've been completely committed to my desire to be healthy and I think that really helps.  Health is a long term mindset.  I feel completely confident my body is getting everything it needs to feel and perform at my best.  I FEEL SO HEALTHY AND VIBRANT AGAIN!! I don't even recognize the woman I was when I first started seeing her.  I was in so much pain, so frustrated and was starting to lose hope.  Not a day goes by that I'm not grateful for finding my way to Brandy and trusting the process of healing, knowing I was being guided by someone who really knows what she's doing. PS - Because she's in high demand, it can sometimes be a little bit before getting in the door. She's worth the wait, don't let that discourage you!

    I used to come here pre pandemic and even bought a $380 package for what I remember was for three…read moreor four IV sessions. Then, the pandemic hit, life happened, and I moved. IVs were the last thing on my mind and they were in no rush for me to use the credits as I did not receive any type of reminder call from them. I called a week and a half ago letting them know that I'll be in town and would like a refund for the credit that I have. A receptionist confirmed that I did, indeed, have a credit and that it was for an IV package. She talked to the manager and told me that, not only can they not provide me a refund, but I can come in to redeem the credit for only one IV session since their prices went up. I was upset by this because it's not like I was asking for a refund for a service I was unhappy with, but for a credit that I clearly cannot use since my move. I explained to her that I had paid cash for the promotion that didn't come with any stipulations. I didn't sign anything and the person who sold it to me didn't tell me about any rules that came along with the promotion. The receptionist danced around the best she could, explaining to me that "most people usually use the service within a year" and offered me a vitamin B shot instead, which is worth less than an IV session...I declined and asked to speak to the manager, but, of course, she told me that they were unavailable. I asked that the manager please call me back later that day to discuss this matter further and left my number. I still, to this day, have not heard back from anyone. To me, this is pretty piss poor service and unprofessional. They basically are ignoring me so that they don't have to pay me the $380 back. It's not like it's $20. This is a big chunk of money that they've held on to and collected interest on. Debating whether or not a small claims court is worth it, but definitely spreading the word so that customers don't get bamboozled like I did.

I don't know where I would be right now without her help, but I feel fantastic... pain and infection free! She has guided me through a happy and symptom-free first two years of Menopause, keeping a watch on my hormones and adjusting with safe, gentle supplements and/or bioidentical hormones as needed. She also has my long-term hypothyroid dialed in. For me, among other things, she works wonders with autoimmune issues and chronic pain with Low Dose Naltrexone, and keeps the UTI, Diverticulitis and other infections away with Methylene Blue. I also visit the office for their immunity and anti-inflammatory IVs, created by Dr McNulty, who is very particular, studied and trustworthy. Others do NAD+. They also have patients treated for Lyme and Cancer, as their IVs are very clean and recommended by other health practitioners. All the Naturopathic physicians in this office are amazing. I highly recommend a consult.

You get asked a few questions about your energy and what you want to focus on and then for acupuncture, they'll check your energy levels. After inserting the needles in, they leave you to it. No music or meditation or chants. Just you, and the car horns outside. I think that's where I'm a little disappointed. Other places I've been either give you one of the two and check in on you. I was just sorta left for I'm assuming was 30 minutes? There's no clocks so I lost track of time. Next few times I came, I was prepared to do some meditation on my own and really focus on my thoughts, breathing and healing. I have pretty decent insurance and so it only came out to about 20 bucks per session and at that price, it goes from a 3 star review to a 4 star. But without that, I could easily rate this a 3 star place. I'll be coming back for sure though. Every where else seems to have a wait list or they aren't as nice. Everyone is super nice. You wont find anyone not happy to be there.

I initially reached out to Alisa with my first pregnancy when it was looking likely that I would need to be induced. This was my first experience doing acupuncture and trying Eastern medicine but she made me feel so comfortable and cared for. We were able to focus on trying to naturally induce labor, and I was able to see her twice before my baby came. She was incredibly thoughtful and followed up after my delivery to check-in and see how I was doing. Fast forward to my second baby, I scheduled more regular visits for some other minor complications. Over the course of my visits, she also checked in on other symptoms and helped me feel better with things like congestion and other minor aches. With both babies, I had quick and healthy deliveries! If you're on the fence about trying acupuncture or exploring Eastern medicine, I would strongly recommend Alisa and her practice. She made me feel at ease and well cared for.
