I solemnly swear that every word in this unbelievable review is true. Dr. Zhang was NOT on Yelp, so…read moreI decided to remedy that. I am 70 years old. My wife, Stephanie dragged me to see Dr. Z. This was because our 92 year old friend, Al, looks and acts like he is in his 50s. His secret is Dr. Z. I told Stephanie, "I have tried acupuncture; it is OK, I'll probably feel a little better, but I can't afford it." When she said she'd pay, I was in. I have lots of health issues, but I told Dr. Zhang that my biggest issues were 10 years of chronic fatigue; and because I only take Wellbutrin (refusing SSRIs) 65 years of depression. At least that's what the therapists say. Now they think it is probably "General PTSD." After Dr. Z stuck a few needles in me, for the first time in my life, I felt energy flowing through me. I wanted to jump up and do something productive. Then I felt relaxed and fell asleep. When I awakened, I was no longer depressed at all and I felt less fatigue. The next morning I woke up feeling like I was 20 years younger, and happier than I had ever been. The second morning I was not quite so happy, and only 10 years younger, until time for that day's appointment. Since then I've had 2 more appointments (First appt. was on Th, then Sa, T and today, Th.) I have been incredibly happy for the last five days, with no fatigue anymore and accomplished lots of things that I had been procrastinating. Furthermore, I am not experiencing the sleep difficulties that I've had for the last 18 months. Yesterday I awakened at 4am feeling ready to go. Worked 16 hours straight then went to sleep at 8am. Slept all the way through until 4am. Now I am finishing up another 16 hours of accomplishments, minus the 30 minutes of being stuck by needles. I felt so good that I was able to get my old 1995 car started, bully it through Mass Inspection (2 months too late) and trade it for a 2005 truck that I had decided to buy months ago. I told my daughter Michele that I had never been happier in my life, and that if I was any happier, I would be manic. Her comment: Well Dad; you DID go out and buy a big truck!" lol Today, Dr. Z said for me to drop down to just 2 appointments per week. He says that eventually the body will "forget" how it used to misfunction and I will only need 1 appointment every 4-8 weeks. Depending upon genetics, most people take 4-6 visits are more to get my kind of results according to Dr. Z. He says 15% of people are genetically not suited for acupuncture and will never get results. I think that this will be Dr. Z's first Yelp review. I'm going to see if Stephanie will write one, and maybe Al's 88-year old wife, Norma, who also looks in her 50s. Maybe even Al! What a hoot if the four of us are his first four reviewers.

I met Marisa in the midst of a recent dark time when my old companion, Anxiety, came calling, and…read morebrought a new friend, Panic Attack. Meeting Marisa proved to be a lifesaver. Her intelligence, knowledge, competence, confidence, kindness, and humor provided the help, support, and treatment I needed to start rebuilding. Hypnoacupuncture gave me relief and a new direction: as the acupuncture works on the present anxiety and physical body, the hypnosis works on the future by directing the subconscious mind. Marisa honed in on where I wanted to go next. In this way, she's like the coach you didn't know you needed; a good coach helps you move forward in such a way as to shorten the learning curve. As Marisa brings her top game, she carries her patients along with her. Since receiving treatments, I've learned to reallocate the anxious energy and use it more effectively and productively. I'm back to chasing my goals and dreams in ways I haven't previously. I thank Marisa daily for her talents and her magic.

I'm honestly not someone who usually writes reviews, but my experience with Marisa has been so…read moreimpactful that I felt like I had to share. I drive over an hour each way to see her and it's been so worth it. I originally went to see Marisa for extreme anxiety and ongoing sleep issues, after trying what felt like every modality out there: somatic exercises, journaling, therapy, BIT, meditation, breath-work...you name it. While many of those helped in their own ways, nothing truly moved the needle for me the way hypnoacupuncture with Marisa has. From my very first session, there was an obvious shift. Even the people around me noticed. After that first session, the tension in my shoulders decreased, and the only way I can describe it is that everything (physically & mentally) felt like it had been taken down a notch. Since working with her, my sleep has completely transformed. I went from having an extremely hard time falling asleep and waking up almost every hour, to now pretty much sleeping through the night. If I do wake up, I can fall back asleep easily, and I'm even dreaming a lot which I take as a sign I'm finally getting deep, restful sleep. I've seen such drastic improvements that I genuinely feel like I have a new baseline. I feel so much more in control of my anxiety now and honestly like a completely different person than I was just a few months ago. It's been truly life changing. I honestly wish I could see her weekly. The closest way I can describe how you feel leaving a session is like you just had a massage; you're so relaxed, grounded, and at ease. Marisa has truly touched my life. She is genuinely an angel. She listens, she cares deeply, and she is incredibly dedicated to her clients. If she doesn't have an answer right away, she always follows up, whether by email or the next time you see her, which says so much about the level of thought and attention she gives. I don't feel comfortable around many people, but there's something about her energy that is so light and reassuring. She creates such a safe, welcoming environment, and it makes all the difference. I'm so grateful to have found her and truly can't recommend her enough.

Do your body and soul a favor and make an appointment with Roxanne…read more I have received bodywork and energy healing in various forms for the past 20 years. The one thing I have learned in that time is that not all "healers" are created equal. Some, actually quite few, have that "je ne sais quoi". That special something that, once you experience it, will ensure that average will never be good enough again. Roxanne has that something special in spades. Her energy work is simply stunning. Allow yourself to receive and you will be blessed with a purity of energy that will leave you, pun intended, in a state of bliss. Roxanne creates a safe and caring environment that allows the magic of energy work to transpire. Roxanne is that rare practitioner you have been searching for.
