Directions

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.

When I began acupuncture for fertility my cycles were short because I was ovulating quite early since ceasing birth control. After the first treatment my cycle was a full 5 days longer before I ovulated which would have made my cycle a normal 28-day length were it not for getting pregnant that same cycle. Additionally, the acupuncture treatment for my thyroid was made in conjunction with starting a synthroid medication, which is now regulated. I'm sure all of these things helped to support a very quick pregnancy.

I suffered a rotator cuff impingement, and physical therapy wasn't helping -- in fact, it seemed to make it worse. I decided to try acupuncture, and the results were really surprising. After 3 treatments, I recovered movement in my shoulder, and the pain greatly decreased. Six treatments later, my shoulder feels fantastic, and it functions normally again. It's been a great way to heal and recover.

If you have not tried acupuncture then you are truly missing out on better health. I was asked by my doctor if I would like to try acupuncture. They could not help the pain I was having and I could hardly walk. I had to really think about it for a while because I thought needles weren't for me, but I was in so much pain that I decided to try acupuncture at least one time.

After the first visit I was so impressed: would you believe that I can even go to sleep while having the treatment? I feel so much better after an acupuncture treatment that I have continued going because Monica has also worked on other parts of my body (arms, shoulders, hips) for better health. (Note: this patient has received bi-weekly acupuncture treatments since 2002.)

Monica and her office staff are so nice that it is a pleasure to go. Monica is so gentle and kind and really listens to you. She has even called me at home to check up on me when I have been ill. I have never had that kindness from a doctor before. I could go on more but I will end in saying that everyone should try acupuncture at least once!

I went to Monica upon the recommendation of a member of my womens' choir. She and I had both struggled with sinus and bronchial conditions which often kept us from participation in our group. Monica's acupuncture treatments and Chinese herbs have aided me immensely in thwarting the upper respiratory infections which have plagued me my entire life. I now may rely upon being able to sing in my choir performances regularly.

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!

I started working with Monica during the 3rd trimester of my pregnancy after learning my baby was breech. The midwife at my doctor’s office suggested acupuncture to turn her as others have had success. They gave me a two week deadline to get her turned before they would manually try to turn her. Working with Monica was amazing. She answered all of my questions and concerns, adjusted treatments as-needed and provided much needed herbal supplements for my anemia and exhaustion. Within the two weeks the baby turned, my energy levels increased and my anemia was improving. By the time I delivered my anemia was completely under control and I felt great. I highly recommend Monica for anything pregnancy related, exhaustion and stress! She definitely helped me turn things around.

For many years I dealt with upper respiratory issues including an extensive winter cough. Monica's acupuncture has resolved this and other medical issues that traditional medical treatments were unable to.

I started seeing Monica after working with two other acupuncturists for infertility over the course of nine months without any success. She came highly recommended and I was impressed right away with how she explained her philosophy on treating infertility with acupuncture. She put me at ease by giving me practical advice and by explaining why and how she would use each acupuncture point. She also addressed diet and herbs, which were important to me. I left my first treatment feeling encouraged, optimistic, and more cared for than I had with previous practitioners. I started seeing her weekly and was amazed when only two weeks later I was able to shift my care from infertility treatment to maternity treatment! I continued to see her for the first 12 weeks of pregnancy, which was extremely helpful both for sustaining the pregnancy and for reducing nausea. I would strongly encourage anyone in a similar situation to seek Monica’s help!
