Candise has been incredibly thorough in understanding my symptoms week to week. She's thoughtful, attentive, informative and it truly feels like she's fully present with me for the entire session. The acupuncture has helped relieve discomfort due to my original symptoms, but she's also addressed tension in my head/neck, ankle pain after a sprain, and more along the way. She's also provided herbal medicine that's been custom-tailored every week and incredibly helpful.I leave every session feeling physically more calm and at ease, and emotionally more regulated too. Some symptoms, like the nighttime wheezing, are now completely under control, and others continue to improve! On top of that, she's helped me understand so much more about my menstrual cycle and what's actually going on with my body. I can't recommend her enough!! Thank you Candise!

She has good advice for herbal treatments and alternative strategies for healing. She's accommodating, easy going, and fun to talk to. Nhu has treated me for chronic joint pain in my knees, joint pain in my jaw, and to balance out my hormonal fluctuations. I was having several symptoms related to perimenopause (full body joint pain, increase in brain instability due to hormonal fluctuations) and since I've been seeing her most of my symptoms are gone. My knee pain still comes and goes but that's been lifelong so I don't have high hopes there, all my other joint pain is gone.

That's when a staff member referred me to Victoria. During my initial visit, Victoria asked a series of questions. She determined my needs and began to needle. At that point in time, I had high levels of pain throughout my back. Not only did Victoria needle all of my trauma points, she also placed CBD ointment and a heat lamp on the area that bothered me the most. Victoria also did some flash cupping for me as well. The next day, following my initial visit, my lingering pain disappeared!!! I could not believe that just after 1 visit, that my pain level diminished. Victoria is currently open for essential employees during the pandemic and I am truly grateful. Not only are her needling skills on point, she's also warm and compassionate. Seeing her brightens my day! Thank you Victoria!!! Also, she takes Landmark insurance!!! All of my colleagues and I swear by her!!!

She incorporates muscle work into her treatment and looks at you're whole body instead of just focusing on the immediate area of pain. Not only is Dr Hua's credentials top notch but she takes her time to ask how I'm really doing as well as recommending things I can do to help improve in-between visits with various exercises and stretches. I highly recommend Dr Hua to all my friends and family and anyone who needs some serious chiropractic therapy!

She was always remarkably intuitive and knew exactly what my body needed at each visit (she used various modalities of heat, cupping and had a massage therapist in office in addition to her acupuncture and herbal supplements.)

I couldn't walk comfortably, hold my kids, or even focus - I was on the cusp of surgery. A neighbor told me about Amy and said she is the only person who relieves her nerve pain - so I made an appointment. From the very first session, I felt real relief. Amy is deeply knowledgeable and knew exactly where to focus the therapy. She spent a full 1.5 hours with me, listened closely, and treated me with total empathy. She's trained in, and teaches, pain workshops, and it shows. She understands nerve pain like no one else I've met - and I tried everything! I now see her weekly, and the difference is incredible. Today I can practice yoga, run, lift weights again - and most importantly hold my kids - activities I thought were off the table. If you're in acute pain or dealing with nerve issues, I can't recommend Amy enough. She gave me my life back and I am forever grateful!
