The first thing to note about her practice is that I could immediately tell that she truly cares about her clients. Acupuncture with Denise feels like visiting a close friend who just wants you to get better. Without going into too much detail, Denise saw my situation and provided me with accommodations on so many levels in order to ease this process for me. I'm seeing some of my physical symptoms improve. Mostly my anxiety has greatly dulled, and I find I have extremely better bowel movements and pain relief in the days following acupuncture. If you want to feel cared for and ease any pain/stress Denise is the best choice. I'm very happy with her and recommend her especially to those struggling with anxiety.

However, he immediately put me at ease with his calm, respectful approach and clear depth of knowledge. I felt comfortable opening up, which made a big difference in my overall experience. He asked thoughtful, thorough questions and took the time to clearly explain his approach and recommendations. This gave me a lot of confidence in the care I was receiving. Nothing ever felt rushed or impersonal; he was genuinely attentive and invested in my situation. One unique aspect of the experience is the brief massage following the treatment. It's such a relaxing and helpful addition that really enhances each session. I truly felt cared for and supported throughout my visits. His team is also fantastic warm, welcoming, and professional. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a thoughtful, compassionate acupuncturist.

So it is very easy for me to enthusiastically support and get behind the Tam Healing Center because they helped me NOT to be in a wheelchair. Sometimes in life we all need a helping hand and often when you have exhausted Western medicine's surgeries and medications, it is hard to know where to look. Many of Western medicine's treatments for illness and trauma, carry many risks and side effects, worse than the original condition. Acupuncture and other therapies prevent illness by optimizing your health and wellbeing. The Tam Healing Center is a special place dedicated to using alternative therapies to promote natural healing and recognizes the connection between mind and body. You will find acupuncture is at the core of these options but there is also herbal medicine, cupping, and collective meditation. As soon as you step foot in the Tam Healing Center you will be supported but encouraged to own what you are responsible for in the experience. There is little room for self-pity or "poor baby" here. However, you are listened too and people with chronic conditions and chronic pain are particularly well served here! Three hospitals and entire teams of neurosurgeons said I would be in a wheelchair on a breathing tube, "like Christopher Reeve," but instead I am checking out the Tai Chi at the Tam Healing Center and going hiking! Are you ready to go to the office of healing?

He asked me if I was going to continue making myself sick just because I paid ? Good point. Threw them all out and felt much better.

But I'm going to try my darnedest, cause I'm writing a review and words are, how do you say... Very important. Late last year I threw out my back at work, followed by my first ever tension headache (HOWCANPEOPLEGETTHOSEREGULARLY?) I did my regular "help I've screwed my back up AGAIN!" call to my chiropractor, who was able to reset things, but unable to relieve me of all pain. My dad emailed the lady he knows who massages. I was a bit hesitant because my dad has seen some pretty strange people in the past, I'm glad I was in such pain that I agreed to pick up whatever appointment Emily had available. It was one of the best decisions I made in 2010. I hobbled in to see her on a Saturday afternoon, I was surprised to find that she was not much older than I, very professional, and when we went over the little intake form her questions and comments were not only valid, but she seemed to take an actual genuine interest in how my (very physically demanding) job affected my general health. I have, in the past been underwhelmed with massage experiences because I feel like they worked too lightly on me- Emily was able to get in and really work the knots outta my muscles without it being uncomfortable. A good balance of strength and knowledge! She's now become the go-to for my dad, mum and I. I have finally been able to recommend somebody who is affordable, easy to contact and schedule with, and nice. She also let me know about a great deal this December where you could buy 4 gift certificates for a discounted rate and get a free massage for yourself - I was able to make my mum, aunt, and a couple friends happy to receive the gift of relaxation, while shopping local and getting a little something for myself!

So, I'm a Skeptic…read more Just that kinda person. I generally don't like medicine that I can't trace back to anatomical reality (I get exasperated talking about Chi and other untestable, unmeasurable concepts). So I obviously didn't go to Acupuncture to get my chakrahs back into balance or anything like that. I have a pretty nasty back injury that gave me a fair amount of pain and tough ciatica (look it up). I've been doing PT, and I've been healing quite nicely (I'm not going ton a "Western Medicine is Useless!" rant today), but I'm not a very patient person. I wanted to see if I could do some pain management beyond medication, for obvious reasons. I went to see Lisa because my mother's friends (who are much more... spiritually oriented) have given me sufficient anecdotes that I decided I'd give it a try. Anyway, disclaimer aside. I enjoyed the visit. Lisa is a grounded, rational person that actually talks about medicine and the body. There's a little bit of "energy flow" stuff going on that I managed to not get frustrated about--in short, at the end of the conversation I was pretty convinced she knew what she was talking about. Then with the needles. Afterwards, I felt significant improvement. I have a lot more relaxation in my back and leg, the ciatica's gone down. I'm walking around without a cane, which is a fair improvement. I'm quite pleased with the treatment. Over the next few days, I'll be updating as to my progress. I'd recommend Lisa for an alternative approach to pain management stress, musculoskeletal or nervous problems, definitely. I will continue to hold out on the mystical cancer-healing powers of heat lamps and small needles until I've seen better science on the topic.
