I started seeing Anna in August 2015. I was having severe hormonal imbalances causing me to have insomnia, anxiety and depression. I would get insane sugar cravings during any kind of stress including driving to and from work. At the recommendation of a friend (whom also sees Anna), I decided to give acupuncture a try for the first time.

 

Anna explained how hormonal imbalances are causing all these uncomfortable symptoms and with treatment she could help me feel normal again. I was not completely sold, but I thought: why not? At this point I will try anything except medication! I didn't want to go that route. Honestly, I kinda thought acupuncture was just for headaches or body pains and not for my type of symptoms. I didn't really believe it would work, but I gave it a try anyway.

 

I remember leaving that first day thinking that it was totally strange to zone out on a bed for an hour while having needles in my arms, legs, ears, forehead, head and neck. They didn't hurt or anything. Just a nice long nap. Anna was very professional and caring during our consultation and then treatment, but I still remember thinking that it just seemed like hocus pocus and that this couldn't possibly work on my problems. So I left and didn't think I would likely return again. At least I tried it once, right?

 

Then in just 24 hours I got a major response. A rush of peace spread over me like a wave of endorphins and I wasn't craving sugar or feeling emotionally overwhelmed. I had extreme confidence in myself and a sense of well being. Is this for real? How did she do that? I felt so good that I knew I had to return and make sure it was actually the acupuncture and not a fluke. Every time I walk out of there, I know in a day or two I will experience this sensational feeling. To heal the body of years of hormonal imbalance takes time. I understand that. I also know that I was fortunate to respond so quickly on the first treatment. Usually this can take a few treatments for others to see results. But you will see results.  

 

So I am now dedicated to healing my body slowly and patiently through acupuncture. I'm sure everyone heals at a different pace, but for me this worked rather quickly. You don't have to believe in it for it to work. Just be open to the possibility. Everything about my life has gotten better since I met Anna last year. Everyone I come across has noticed how vibrant and healthy I am now. People comment on my glowing skin and positive energy all the time. I tell them about Anna and I now have referred several friends and acquaintances to her and they report similar results.

 

Make sure you bring your headphones! This is very relaxing for most people, so sometimes you may hear other patient's snoring. I like to listen to meditation music or an audible book to drown out those occasional sounds.

 

Anna literally is magic. She really is an incredible healer.

 

Give her a chance and I know you won't regret it!
