I have been seeing Jeneanne Paden for about 2 years now and am still very much looking forward to every coming appointment. Originally, I was referred to Jeneanne by my former IVF specialist and I could never thank him enough for bringing her to my life. Following the referral, and being a a professional, I did my homework trying to understand "what's the acupuncture all about", and was a bit hesitant how fertility acupuncture could actually make a difference for me. Looking back, that's the only part of the entire experience that I would like to forget. Basically, I should have seen Jeneanne right away after I was referred to her, rather than going to seminars by other local acupuncture practicioners and trying to understand an art of healing and phylosophy of living which life sciences do not teach us along with all the math, chemistry, and biology where one and one add to two, most of the time.
As I mentioned, my journey with Jeneanne started about two years ago, and looking back, I can proudly say that it not only helped deal with my infertility issues, but it also changed my prospective regarding many other aspects of life (helped me handle stress, understand professional and personal priorities, improve my nutrition and exercise habits, etc.). All of that was possible because of professional help and expert care I received from Jeneanne. She is simply a care giver, not just an acupuncture provider, and this, along with her extremly warm personality and superb expertise, is what truly differentiates Jeneanne (I had several treatments with Renee Walker, Jeneanne's colleague at Galena Acupuncture Spa and would highly recommend her as well). Jeneanne is extremly knowledgeable in all aspects of IVF protocols, as well as body and mind preparations prior to those, and post IVF and pregnancy care. I was extremly impressed by Jeneanne's knowledge of reproductive immunology and physiology, and the breadth of her understanding of supplements formularies (being a scientist myself I do not easilly spill such comments but Jeneanne never stopped to surprise and impress me in every conversation we had). Jeneanne's needling technique is absolutely superb and I never experienced any discomfort. She always finishes the treatment with a gentle and very healing massage. Since I also experienced quite a bit of lower back pain, Jeneanne often applied suction caps in those troubled areas, and that treatment made a world of difference, too! Amazingly, Jeneanne does not charge extra regardless how long the appointment is!!! Recently, I started having massage treatments, along with acupuncture, and would highly recommend those as well. Massage therapist Sharlotte McArdel is excellent, very warm and pleasant personality, and she is graciously helping me deal with my aches and pains as well.
Acupuncture rooms at Galena Acu Spa are extremly clean, well ventilated and temperature controlled, simply very, very comfortable. Great beds, delicate aroma candles, beautiful wall decorations, very soothing and relaxing music, all add to a superb acupuncture treatment and overall experience. Waiting/loby areas are also nicely decorated, spacious, and very welcoming. Pam, lady handling the reception desk and scheduling, is the most helpful, always supportive, simply another superb staff member at Galena Acu Spa.
As I mentioned originally, I've been a patient at Galena Acu Spa for 2 years now, and will surely be returning for years to come. I can't thank Jeneanne Paden enough for the difference she made in my life, and could only recommend her and Galena Acu Spa to "all of you out there" looking for help with your fertility and other health issues, or simply for relaxation and pampering we all need so much and quite often do not take time to enjoy. read more
