Testimonials
| Anxiety |
I owe my new life to Monica. I went to see her about a year ago to help with anxiety and stress. She changed my life. I no longer take pills that make me feel like a zombie or eat away at my stomach.
Monica is extremely knowledgeable, and I notice results each time I see her. I was very interested in understanding more about Chinese Medicine and acupuncture and the points that she was focusing on for me. She recommended books and websites, and has taught me so much during each treatment. Monica also recommends herbs to help my treatment as well as teas and certain foods. She is truly all about understanding and treating your entire self - not just one issue. The treatment rooms are so calming and always filled with soft meditating music. Its easy to relax, even when you have needles all over your body. I welcome my appointments every week, as I always feel so renewed and refreshed each time. Amy S. |

Migraines, Tendonitis |
I love Monica, she is a super pro and i have seen her work her magic on not only me, but several of my friends as well.
I have migraines all of my life, and over a period of about 2 months, she was able to reduce and keep the frequency from 2x per week, to once every every 2 months or so. She just recently healed a shoulder issue in one session that i have been taking prednisone for. A friend of mine just recently visited her for spinal issues. she couldn't sleep, was in regular pain, and was considering spinal surgery. Within a few sessions, Monica has her sleeping and eventually was able to fully remove her pain. My wife had bad tendonitis in her wrist from holding our first child. she couldn't move her hand and Monica restored her to full pain-free hand movement. There are a million more stories like this. If you have a medical condition, whatever it may be, it makes perfect sense to see Monica. She is a very skilled acupuncturist and is very friendly and knowledgeable. She is really a star at what she does!!!! Jesse P. |
| Asthma |
Monica Legatt has helped my condition immensely!
After 7 months of coughing, asthma, and lots of yucky
phlegm, 6 weeks of acupuncture and Chinese herbs have
virtually eliminated my symptoms. I would recommend
Monica to anyone with asthma.

| PMS & Menstrual Cramps |
I went to see Monica when I became fed up with my regular medical
doctor's solution to my PMS. Wanting to get the root of the problem, I
decided to try acupuncture for the first time. I was surprised and
relieved when Monica sat down with me on our first visit and asked me
more questions about my health, history and lifestyle than my family
doctor of 8 years! She guided me through the process, explained the
issues, and told me what to expect during and after the treatments. By
the time my next period came, I had no pain or symptoms for the first
time ever! I was so excited I told all my friends. It was nothing short
of a miracle for me. Her expertise, patience, understanding and genuine
concern for my well-being was a refreshing change from traditional
medicines.

| Chronic Pain |
I tried so many things for chronic pain that lasted 2+ years.....codeine,
morphine, MRI, CAT scan, considered orthopedic surgery to 'explore', saw
physiatrist, neurologist, etc.
Monica helped me with treatments and herbs in about 3 months. Now I get a
tune-up every so often.
Thanks, Monica

Insomnia, Hot Flashes, Night Sweats |
What years of traditional medicine and hormone replacement therapy couldn't help (hot flashes & night sweats), Monica and acupuncture improved literally overnight. My life-long insomnia and sleep problem has been eliminated in only a couple of months. I have an improved quality of life both physically, and emotionally. Monica is a physician and a therapist rolled into one.

| Extreme Fatigue |
I came to Monica complaining of extreme fatigue that had been ongoing
for a
long time and had been getting worse over time. From the moment I entered
Monica's care, I felt I was working with a true professional. No only is
she obviously knowledgeable about acupuncture, but she knows and can explain
to you in lay terms how your body works in relation to Chinese medical
techniques and practices. Over the 12 weeks I was in her care, I saw steady
improvement in my energy level to the point where I felt fully functional by
the time we terminated treatment. I would and have recommended others to
this healing modality and most specifically to Monica. I'm very grateful
for her thorough, kind, caring and educated approach to healing.

Digestive Disorders |
When I began acupuncture, I had an open mind. I also had terrible digestive
disorders. Through a regular schedule of accupunture and herbal therapy, the
pain and discomfort that was a daily occurance in my life, is now just a
memory. Monica has a holistic and realistic approach to wellness. I believe
that her style of care allowed my body to heal itself. Receiving accupucture
is a commitment I made to myself to realize how well I could be. Not only did
it release and direct my body's healing energy, it also helped me to feel a
sense of partnership with Monica, a feeling I have rarely had with health
care providers. This experience has dramatically improved my life. Thank
you!

| Migraines |
I've suffered from migraine headaches for 30 years and have tried all
sorts of medications that have been only partially effective. However,
with acupuncture I have had very effective (sometimes within minutes)
relief from migraine pain. I don't fully understand how it works, but for
relief of pain I highly recommend it.

Knee, torn ACL |
Last winter I totally obliterated my knee in a skiing accident.
With a torn ACL and badly stretched medial collateral ligament,
I couldn't put weight on it. I didn't have proper medical
insurance to make surgery an option and I wanted to try a less
invasive method to my healing. A friend suggested that I call
Monica for an acupuncture treatment. After the first visit I could
tell it had helped. After three visits I felt an enormous
improvement in the pain relief and mobility. I recommend it!

| Migraines |
I was getting at least one migraine every week when I first went to Monica
Legatt for treatment. Her acupuncture sessions, herbal combinations and
dietary advice have played a major role in reducing headache incidents to an
average of one a month. Though I have since learned to avoid certain
migraine triggers, and have added a B2 supplement to my anti-migraine
regimen, I credit my work with Monica for the largest part of my improvement
as it was under her care that I first saw a reduction in headache frequency.
Monica is thorough, knowledgeable and well-organized in her approach to healing. She's a great listener, too, and in my experience that's an all-important quality in a health care practitioner. Her attitude is one of respect, and her professional goal is very obviously to reinforce my body's efforts to heal and balance itself. I recommend her to all my friends. N. Shawl |

Throat Infection |
Acupuncture cured me when traditional medicine was stumped!
I came to be treated by Monica when I had a throat infection that wouldn't go away. My MD had no idea why my throat was coated with a white film, and prescribed a "catch-all" super-antibiotic. This made my symptoms worse, and the infection dragged on for weeks. After my first acupuncture treatment, my throat began improving in two days. My throat was fine within two and a half weeks. I continued getting monthly treatments because I noticed that the PMS symptoms I'd had all my life vastly improved when I was treated before my period. I highly recommend acupuncture for everyone! C.

| Colds |
When I have been in the early stages of a cold, Monica has treated me and
collapsed the cold to be short and mild. It is a great relief to know the
misery of a cold, that used to seem inevitable, can -- with Monica's special
acupuncture treatments -- be derailed and I can get back to an active life.

| Fatigue |
Symptoms of fatigue and weakness had set in my body from overwork and
embodiment of emotional stress.
I experienced profound response to my acupuncture treatments and herbs
and my health improved drastically.
Monica's compassion and patience toward my condition and her understanding of Chinese medicine restored my energy (chi) and brought about a greater awareness of creating balance between yin and yang in my life. I continue to incorporate all aspects of Chinese medicine as a preventative measure and continue to reap great rewards in terms of my health, mental attitude and emotional well being. C. Dabrowski |

Sinus problems |
During the one year span in which I sought relief from stress and sinus
congestion, Monica provided consistent treatments that effectively addressed my
ailments. These were administered in a supportive and diligent manner which
enabled me to relax both during, and after, our sessions. Consequently I was
able to derive extended benefits from her treatments. Thank you, Monica.

Multiple Sclerosis |
I initially sought treatment from another acupuncturist. After several months of seeing little to no results, I made an appointment with Monica. A co-worker of mine had been seeing Monica for several months and insisted I give her a try. After my first treatment, many of the symptoms associated with the chronic illness I have been coping with since 1988, had subsided. The results continue to date and I have every intention on continuing treatment with Monica. She is a very wise professional that is really a pleasure to work with. I owe my co-worker and Monica a HUGE "thank you". Katherine Bursett

Chronic Neck Pain |
I've suffered from chronic neck pain for many years. Since all my previous treatments didn't seem to help, I decided to try acupuncture. After a few treatments with Monica, I began to feel better. I continued to see her for several months. My neck pain has diminished; I have more energy and a more positive outlook toward my health and well being.
I not only like Monica's holistic approach, but her gentle and caring nature with a keen ear for listening. I was extremely afraid of needles and now I look forward to my treatments! Thanks Monica!

| Whiplash |
Monica and I have shared an office for the past two years.
In working with her both personally and professionally I've
found her to be a highly skilled and dedicated practitioner.
I've refered several clients that have suffered from chronic
migraines with great success. I have also worked in tandem
with Monica on several whiplash cases and her treatments have
greatly facilitated the success of my own massage work.
I've also been treated personnally by Monica and can attest
that her work is both excellent and effective!
