North Shore Community Acupuncture is one of those places that you want to tell everyone about, but…read morethere is a part of you that wants to keep it all to yourself. Of the half dozen treatments I've had thus far - there *will* be more - each one has left me feeling markedly better than when I walked in. Stephanie is a gem. Not only is she lovely as a person, but she is also a master acupuncturist. She picks up on the nuances of you as a whole person, treating not only the obvious symptoms you may present, but digging deeper to the roots that make us who we are and how we feel. I truly feel blessed to have her on my team. The clinic, despite being an open communal space, is clean, inviting, and entirely pleasant and relaxing. I look so forward to my visits.

Incredible experience with Sofie. I will be coming back!!! So affordable, clean, warm environment.read more

I've had many treatments with Brittany here. Yesterday I went in with acute pain, I was in tears…read more I had injured my hand/wirst. The pain had been excruciating for 2 days. It was intense, I couldn't sleep well because of the pain. And it was my right hand, so it was very hard no to use it! My wrist & hand were so swollen. It probably would've been labeled a carpal tunnel problem with PT recommended if I went to my primary care. Brittany knew exactly what to do- she couldn't work directly on the area because of the pain, so she worked in many other areas around my body (arm, ankle, leg, back of neck, shoulder, tricep) that would affect the painful area. She also did gua sha on my tricep & shoulder area. She knew the blocked area was more than just the hand. I couldn't believe it. I left pain free! She told me to go easy the rest of the day- which I did. I slept great last night- and today I have 0 pain! Thank you Brittany! You're a lifesaver!! No matter what issue I go to you for- you always take care of it. So thankful!!

Would definitely go back even without a coupon and can't wait until my next massage!

So far I have only been to First Choice Health Center to use their infrared sauna but I absolutely…read morelove it there. The people working there are so nice and welcoming and the environment is very soothing. The facilities are clean, calming, and there's an overall great energy. I usually call about an hour before I want to come in to use the sauna and it has never been a problem. They have nice music playing while you're in there and they provide towels and water for after you are done. For $30 (and packages available to lower the price) I definitely make this a go-to on a weekly basis and would recommend to anyone. I always feel so relaxed after 30 mins in the sauna and it is always a nice experience when I go there. Try out the infrared sauna--you won't regret it!

I've been to her office for hip and back pain, general fatigue, and tight, sore, overworked muscles. Each time, I left completely light and loose and with a huge smile on my face. Her shiatsu sessions are sooo good...and when you add acupuncture into the mix, it brings the treatments to a whole other level. Her needling technique is gentle and painless, and she has such a calm and comforting demeanor. I despise driving to the North Shore (I live in Waltham), but she is worth the trip, every time!

I went to New Harmony to get treatment for lower back pain caused by arthritis -- I'm in my late…read more60s and need to figure out how to deal with this for the rest of my life. I got a cycle of accupuncture treatments from Bryn Clark and am in the middle of a set of Shiatsu massage treatments from Amy Mills. Both specialists are spectacular and these treatments have really helped me -- not just in the moment, or for a day or two, but as a set of learning experiences that are genuinely helping me set a course for healthy living free of back pain. Bryn not only understands and practices accupuncture super-skillfully; he is an educator-therapist with tremendously practical advice, much of which I have incorporated into my daily routines. (Like: doing cat-cows and child-poses before I get out of bed in the morning, to get the systems and fluids running before I ask my back to do anything semi-important. Magic.) Amy conducts her sessions like a composer and orchestra conductor. They are like a wonderful piece of music, complete with opening "exchange" with me (the audience -- or am I in the orchestra?), then running through variations that involve some tissue massage, some joint bending, some stretching, some fluid movement. She returns, towards the end, to the opening theme and wraps it all up, often leaving me with the same kind of practical idea about some aspect of movement or exercising that stays with me -- as was the case with Bryn. It's a pretty powerful combination. I likely sound a bit woo-woo, especially in the paragraph above -- but I want to underscore the useful practicality of these sessions for me, along with their impact on my well-being in the moment. I've enjoyed them a lot, will keep going back, and recommend these folks wholeheartedly.
