I had never been for acupuncture therapy, and I'm not comfortable with needles. In high school, I…read morecouldn't even puncture my own finger tip to study a blood drop in biology. So I was hesitant to try this therapy out. I have a very old knee injury to my left knee. It has been twice the size of my right knee for 24 years. My sports injury doctor really was at a loss, so he sent me to see Melanie and told me she was fabulous. I trust this man, so I called and made an appointment. I came for my first appointment and Melanie made me feel very comfortable and at ease with everything. She explained what she was going to do and doing every step of the way. I stared at the ceiling because I didn't want to watch the needles going in. I didn't even feel the first couple and barely felt the 3rd, after that it was very easy. After my first session I was very relaxed, so relaxed that I wanted to take a nap. I never nap. She explained to me that since this injury was so old, it was going to take a while and several sessions to see a difference. What I noticed after the first session was an immediate lessening of pain. What I noticed after a few sessions was that my swelling had started to go down. It's amazing, I can actually wear high heels again, and I have not been able to in a long long time. On one of my sessions I came in and my neck was painful, so I laid face down and had my neck worked on too, that was awesome. I'm a long way from healed, but I am way ahead of where I was just a month ago. I really look forward to my sessions and time with Melanie. She and I have the most amazing deep conversations. I can't stress enough how much this alternative therapy can really help so many conditions.

I came in for a massage and it was honestly one of the best I've had (and I've had a lot!). I even have massages banked at another location, but I'm going to use those up so I can start coming here instead. It's rare to find somewhere that's this good at massage and also offers so many ways to support your overall health and wellness. Highly recommend!

I wish I had read the yelp reviews more carefully because I would have known to ask for Deborah. I would expect holistic healthcare practitioners to be patient and non judgmental but that was not my experience with Adam. Even though my first visit was not great I bought the 3-visit package because I was so desperate for relief. I followed his instructions to change my diet (no cold foods) and took the herbs he prescribed. I finally stopped taking the herbs after a couple weeks (Adam was not pleased, "Do you WANT to get better??") because they come in a powder form that does not dissolve in water. The taste is almost unbearable. I wish Adam had told me sooner that the herbs can be purchased in pill form. I did begin to feel better and believe that diet, herbs, and acupuncture are healing. I'm going to look for a different practitioner to continue my treatment.

I could not have asked for a better experience with one of my first times getting acupuncture.

As you share your symptoms with her, Michelle is able to look beneath the surface and get right to the root of what is causing the problem. If you have never had acupuncture before, it may take a few visits before your body responds to the treatment. Once it does, the wonderful relief it provides feels like nothing short of a miracle.

Kala is absolutely incredible!!!!! From the moment you walk in, she makes you feel comfortable,…read moreheard, and genuinely cared for. She actually listens to what's going on with your body instead of rushing through an adjustment -- and that approach works. I went in dealing with back issues and stubborn Achilles tendinitis, and Kala fixed both. Her care is thoughtful, precise, and clearly tailored to what your body needs in the moment. Each visit felt like a full reset -- better alignment, improved mobility, and noticeable relief that lasted. Her knowledge and intuition are next level. She explains what's happening, why it's happening, and what she's doing to correct it, which builds real trust. On top of that, her calm, positive energy makes every visit easy and comfortable. If you're dealing with pain, injuries, or just feeling out of alignment, Kala is the real deal. I can't recommend her enough.
