Several months ago I had a severe sports injury. The pain started out small, just in my left shoulder, so I ignored it at first. But over the next few weeks it became worse until it spread out through my left arm, my neck, and my lower back - it got to a point where unless I sat absolutely still I was pretty much in pain any time I moved. A friend kept nudging me to go visit Maureen but I was still too hesitant because in spite of all the pain I was in i was also very afraid of needles. So I tried everything else but. I spent about two months going through different doctors and physical therapists and trying out different types of treatments, but nothing helped. The pain of the injury just kept getting worse and worse, and the amount of Advil and Tylenol pills that I had to drink per day in order to function just kept increasing... so finally I took a really deep breath, put my fear of needles aside, and made an appointment with Maureen. And I'm very happy that I did. Her treatment was very rejuvenating and very relaxing. Before the session she explained how everything works and through our conversation I realized that I'm feeling more and more at ease, and was actually curious now to try the acupuncture. I was pleasantly surprised to find out that the needles don't hurt at all - in fact I didn't even feel them. And I felt very comfortable entrusting my dysfunctional back to Maureen's care - she has a very relaxing peaceful integrity about her that really makes you feel at ease.
At the end of the first session I couldn't stop smiling - by that point I've been in pain for so long I almost forgot what it's like to walk with a straight back without hurting, but after I came out of Maureen's place I felt like I could breathe again. I returned for three more sessions, and after that I was completely healed. I have now been totally pain-free for the past six months, ever since my last session with her, and I totally swear by her.
I am by nature very suspicious and never believe that people can ''work miracles," but Maureen's acupuncture made me come out of my box. She really transformed the way I think and feel about holistic medicine. Now anytime some little thing bothers me she is first, and, really, only person that I turn to.
I love that she can heal without the use of medication, I love that the treatment has no side effects (except maybe happiness) :), and I love how cozy and comfortable the place itself is.
I've been recommending Maureen's place to everyone, and if you're reading this you should go too without delay. She's really awesome. read more
