I have been seeing Laurie Terzo for the last 10 years. I can't believe it's taken me this long to…read morewrite a review! When I first considered acupuncture way back when, I was very skeptical. My husband urged me to go to an acupuncturist for my shoulder pain, and since Laurie accepted my insurance and had amazing reviews and credentials, I decided to see her. Her treatment and care worked wonders, and I have been seeing her off and on through the last decade for different problems that I have had. I have also seen other acupuncturists, but they didn't seem nearly as knowledgeable, technical or personable as Laurie. So far, I have seen Laurie for: - Muscle pain behind my right shoulder blade and neck - Muscle pain in my middle back - Pain in my sacrum area from carrying around my toddler - Fertility and pregnancy-related things - Insomnia Her treatment has made real, significant differences in resolving/healing the above issues. She turned me from being a skeptic of Oriental Medicine to a believer in its effectiveness with credentialed and knowledgeable practitioners. I also appreciate her conservative approach, and genuine concern for you to get better. She never advocates a "standing appointment" (ie - you need to always see her every week). Her goal is to get you better as quickly as possible, not to make money. I appreciate that very much. A huge "nice to have" is that she also accepts insurance for covered diagnoses and processes claims when you are within her insurance networks. She is in many insurance networks, and her assistant takes the time to call and figure out your coverage for you. It was so nice and convenient! Also, I need to give a special shout out to Bianca, her assistant. Bianca is great, efficient, and proactively follows up on administrative items. I called on a Friday evening about a potential billing issue to my credit card, but I learned over the weekend that I was wrong. Bianca called ME on Monday to see if there was still any issue. What service! Anyways, if you are looking for a legitimate, caring, effective acupuncturist, please see Laurie Terzo. Note that she normally works on only Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays.

Teresa's right, I don't just go around saying people are fabulous. That's why places that don't get…read more5 stars and just 4 stars shouldn't be offended. That's just how I am. But Laurie's amazing! She was recommended to me by Michelle Graves (who is also amazing) when Michelle was on leave. I never thought about this until I read someone else's review but Laurie really is a wonderful listener with a calming presence. I've had a lot of stress in my life in the past from work and a car accident. Seeing Laurie improves my pain level and overall health. But I always leave Laurie's office much more relaxed and less stressed - I think in part it's her presence in addition to her skills as an acupuncturist. She takes care of muscle spasms, allerigies, insomnia, stress to just name a few. Like Teresa said, she will also offer suggestions for herbal remedies (even via email) and never pushes a sell which I've experienced before. I'm torn between Laurie and Michelle because both are the best. Bonus is Laurie has night hours. I do miss her Saturday hours though because it was nice to have the option to not cram in a session during the work week. She also accepts Blue Cross PPO.

My girlfriend purchased a private cooking lesson with Olivia for my Christmas present and it was…read moreone of the most amazing experiences I have ever had in the kitchen. My girlfriend and I have a pretty restrictive diet that usually stops us from making and enjoying most recipes. Olivia managed to create an amazing recipe and meal plan for our experience and we couldn't be happier! We made the most fantastic kale pesto salmon + shiitake mushroom & butternut squash risotto with homemade cashew cream all gluten free & no dairy! This food was FANTASTIC, we laughed, we learned so many cooking tips, and it was a great way to start the holidays. Olivia is extremely smart, fun, kind and super knowledgeable about creating a lasting healthy relationship with food!

It was one of the best decisions I ever made! Every session was practically like therapy. She immediately knew that my biggest need, along with making changes to my nutrition, was to manage my stress levels. She has such a caring, loving approach to coaching and nutrition. I remember in the beginning she told me, in the kindest way, "Oh sister, your body needs to be able to take a breath and just eat yummy nourishing food." I'd never had a nutritionist say that; like take all the stress out of food! Such a breath of fresh air. This past year (summer of 2021-2022) I've been a member of her Prime membership program and it is incredible content and once a month calls with her for such a great value!! During this time she's helped me do testing and dive deeper into why my body has had digestion issues, food sensitivities, and so on. Her skills, training and instincts are spot on. She even reaches out to physicians for extra insight. It's been so enlightening and helpful. She's someone you can immediately connect with, who truly listens and comes alongside you to guide you, and there's never, ever a cookie-cutter plan. So to anyone considering working with her I would say "Absolutely do it! You won't regret it." Krista really embodies her business name, Nutritional Love!
