I was a loyal client here for many years and truly valued the professionalism and care I once…read moreexperienced. This place meant a lot to me. Over time, however, it felt like the management style, particularly at the ownership level, shifted. Communication became inconsistent, and situations that once would have been handled directly and professionally were not. This was not reflective of the front desk team. Many of the therapists I connected with moved on. My most recent experience simply was not the right fit. I did not feel fully heard, and the session felt more rushed than mindful. After the session, there was no follow up or check in at all, which has never happened in any of my previous experiences here. I was tired of bouncing around, so I gave it time to see if things might improve. In the end, she agreed it was not the right fit. What was most disappointing was how it was handled. It took several calls, emails, and texts from me to learn that my sessions had been canceled less than 24 hours before my next appointment. The front desk told me the owner was supposed to call me about the cancellations and to suggest an alternative therapist, but that call never happened, and there was no follow up afterward. There was also a brief moment that stood out. I had left more than 20 percent, though less than the week before because the experience felt different. When I shared that, it was suggested that the front desk might not have passed the full amount along. That surprised me, as the front desk team has always been consistently kind, professional, and trustworthy. I want to be clear that the front desk staff are excellent. They make scheduling seamless, communicate thoughtfully, and create a welcoming environment every time you walk in. I am writing this because I cared about this place. I used to genuinely look forward to coming here. Moving on feels like losing something familiar, almost like losing a friend. I would still welcome a one on one conversation with the owner, as I would have appreciated that before. I hope the practice finds its way back to what once made it so special.

I wish more people would consider acupuncture for this condition! It's been studied quite a bit now, and acupuncture shows a strong correlation with symptom relief, including nausea and gastric pain. I experience substantial relief from Lisa's treatments and I can't say enough positive things about her and her practice. I have seen Lisa during two gastroparesis flare-ups and both times, the acute attack resolved within minutes to hours. (After more than a week of suffering!) Additionally, often during treatments my stomach will growl! I know that doesn't sound like much, but to any GP'er, it's music to our ears. My stomach feels so much better after a session the effects very much feel cumulative - so that I have fewer problems on a day-to-day basis with GP than I did before I started seeing Lisa for acupuncture treatments. Lisa is professional, her facilities are clean and comfortable, and it's very clear she knows her stuff. I appreciate her insight and intuition and plan to continue to see her for maintenance treatments.

I started seeing her weekly and she worked miracles, really. My headaches became less frequent & when I did have them, they were much less severe. After a bunch of treatments (& as long as I kept going) my headaches disappeared. My knee was still painful, but way more manageable. Cathy was very easy to talk to. She was gentle and attentive. She gave me lots of great tips about food and exercise. I even tried some herbs from her once, but could not swallow them, they were sooooo awful! (and I think I'm pretty tough). I really looked forward to my treatments, even if I did leave there a bit loopy sometimes. I would still be going to Cathy if I hadn't found a community acupuncture spot that I can actually afford. She is absolutely fantastic & highly recommended.

The studio is on the third floor of a building and shares bathrooms with the other tenants of the building. That was the only real negative of the experience. A dirty semi-public bathroom. There is some initial paperwork before your first appointment, it took less than 5 minutes. Then you wait in the lounge area for your masseuse. I got the therapeutic massage and it was just what I needed. The massage therapist checked in with me about the pressure and wasn't chatty. It was bliss. She really helped to work out some pain I had been having and I left much more relaxed than when I came in. An overall 4.5 experience.

But I'm going to try my darnedest, cause I'm writing a review and words are, how do you say... Very important. Late last year I threw out my back at work, followed by my first ever tension headache (HOWCANPEOPLEGETTHOSEREGULARLY?) I did my regular "help I've screwed my back up AGAIN!" call to my chiropractor, who was able to reset things, but unable to relieve me of all pain. My dad emailed the lady he knows who massages. I was a bit hesitant because my dad has seen some pretty strange people in the past, I'm glad I was in such pain that I agreed to pick up whatever appointment Emily had available. It was one of the best decisions I made in 2010. I hobbled in to see her on a Saturday afternoon, I was surprised to find that she was not much older than I, very professional, and when we went over the little intake form her questions and comments were not only valid, but she seemed to take an actual genuine interest in how my (very physically demanding) job affected my general health. I have, in the past been underwhelmed with massage experiences because I feel like they worked too lightly on me- Emily was able to get in and really work the knots outta my muscles without it being uncomfortable. A good balance of strength and knowledge! She's now become the go-to for my dad, mum and I. I have finally been able to recommend somebody who is affordable, easy to contact and schedule with, and nice. She also let me know about a great deal this December where you could buy 4 gift certificates for a discounted rate and get a free massage for yourself - I was able to make my mum, aunt, and a couple friends happy to receive the gift of relaxation, while shopping local and getting a little something for myself!

I don't even comprehend every aspect of eastern medicine but I'm a firm believer in it. If you are worried about eastern medicine not working trust me it does but takes time to kick in.

I probably would have…read morekept going for forever, but Daphne was honest enough to tell me that she thought I had reached the full benefit of the rolfing series. (However, she did invite me back for tune-ups in the future, whenever I feel like I need them!). Overall, my body feels much more elongated and looser. I actually gained an inch or two in height, and even my mom would be proud of my posture now. My core is straighter and clothes fit better. My shoulders are even, and my right shoulder (chronic bursitis from playing competitive tennis) feels so much better than it used to. I honestly haven't had any issues with my shoulder, IT band, or headaches for awhile, and I'm attributing it to Daphne's mad skills. I just feel... healthy. I highly recommend rolfing and Daphne to just about everyone. After a few sessions, you will feel great!

This review is based on my one experience for accupuncture only…read more So I had my my first experience with accupuncture yesterday! I had never done it before so have nothing to compare it to but think I can be objective about the service at Cambridge Health which was very good. My accunpuncturist (Marilyn) was friendly and thorough in her questions prior to beginning. Marilyn clearly believes in the medicine of accupuncture and helping people which got through some of my cynicism. She made me feel really comfortable and made sure I didn't have any questions or qualms before starting. I actually don't have any physical issues (knock on the old wood) aside from weak ankles from sports but it turns out that it's best to have accupuncture before you have problems as a preventive health measure. The needles did not hurt (a few stung for a second) and I could actually feel stirrings in my ankles from the needles in my scalp! The appointment lasted about 90 minutes but flew by. I am still not 100% sure about the powers of accupuncture but afterwards I had a feeling of euphoria akin to Peter in Office Space after hypnosis! I also had football practice that night and my previously sore left ankle felt pretty good. I know, it could all be in my head, but I really enjoyed the experience and made a second appointment. They are running a special right now- 50% off your first two treatments if you call before 9/15 so give it a try!
