I came to Monica after 6 months of lower leg pain that nobody could figure out what was going on. After knee surgery on my torn meniscus the pain increased to where I couldn’t drive for more than 5 miles. I then was re-diagnosed and found out that I had a pinched nerve in between my hamstrings and after only three treatments with Monica the pain has gone away and I can now drive again. Monica paid very close attention to how I was feeling and was able to relieve my pain: I’m so grateful to her and plan a follow up visit soon.

I am so thankful for the wonderful referral to Monica Legatt and Seattle Acupuncture and Massage. After suffering for about a year from eczema around my mouth and painful cracking of the lips, I decided to forgo the traditional prescriptions of cortisone creams. The final straw was when a dermatologist told me to use across-the-counter anti-fungal cream. Monica immediately diagnosed the problem as a hormonal problem and prescribed acupuncture and naturopathic pills. Never have any of the doctors that I saw for my problem raised anything about hormones! Within a couple of weeks, my eczema and cracked lips were normal. Now I go to see Monica for all my ailments - stomach problems, stress, eczema problems on other parts of my body and shoulder and neck problems. Monica has my complete trust to deal with my health issues. I have also taken full advantage of the massage therapy at her office. It's so convenient.

I recently had a baby and struggled with producing enough milk. I went to see Monica in hopes that acupuncture would be the solution to this most stressful situation. After each acupuncture treatment my breasts were immediately filled with milk. With continued treatment my milk supply has vastly increased and I am not struggling with milk production anymore.

You are the best Monica! Thank You for your continued commitment to patient care.-

Hi Monica and Sara (Sara is our Office Manager), The baby was born a few hours ago, so I need to cancel this next appointment. He's a big boy (9lbs, 7oz) so we're awfully glad he arrived a few days early! I'm sure Monica's acupuncture treatments had a lot to do with that! Thanks for everything!

I am your stereotypical office-bound weekend warrior athlete who finds challenges in both my chronic sports injuries and stress levels. I manage both of these things with acupuncture as well as exercise, yoga, pilates, chiropractic and massage. I feel that the common thread between my stress and many of my injuries is that I have muscle tension that I cannot quite let go of. Acupuncture is one method by which I can specifically alleviate tension and pain in my shoulders, hips and back while reducing my need for pain medication.

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!

Monica: I slept ALL night thanks to your magic! (Acupuncture combined with Chinese herbs) Thanks, see you next week.

In my opinion Monica is the absolute best acupuncturist out there. I have seen her for a number of different reasons over the years and she has helped me a great deal.

For example... I had years of infertility, saw other acupuncturists and even had a failed IVF. After seeing Monica for just 3 months, my menstrual cycle completely changed, I felt better, had more energy and GOT PREGNANT after having a frozen embryo transferred!! I have referred many friends to her for fertility issues and they have all had success. She is not only great at what she does, but she is so dedicated to her patients. A few months into my pregnancy, I began to bleed heavily and e-mailed her on Christmas day to let her know what happened. She immediately called me back, left her family dinner (on CHRISTMAS!!!) to meet me at her office for a treatment. And thanks to her, I had a healthy little boy. Seriously I can't recommend her enough. 

I first saw Monica when my ENT sent me for some hearing loss caused by a virus in my ear. I had long since stopped going to acupuncturists because I didn’t like the needles. Monica’s treatments not only improved my hearing, but helped me overcome my aversion to the needles. Monica is a natural healer and is super understanding and gentle with “needle wimps.” She has a special technique for inserting the needles that is way more comfortable. Monica is particularly skilled at explaining Chinese Medicine and acupuncture in terms that people indoctrinated in the Western Medicine approach can readily understand. I’ve also seen her for digestive issues, sleep, bladder infections, and sports injuries. She has been helping me for years, and I would strongly recommend her.
