I've tried several therapists during a time of severe, constant pain. Out of desperation, I kept going from one person to another, every time I left a session without feeling any better than when I felt going in. Devon was the only one who was able to provide a quick and significant reduction in pain from the very first session. I had a noticeable increase in my range of motion which he told me upfront that he'd be very surprised if I didn't get at least that. In fact, he was the only one who had the confidence to tell me that I would feel better before I left, whereas the others I tried, just said "they hope so and that was the goal, but everyone is different@ is what I essentially would get told. Devon was different. He had a confidence in what he was doing and knew his skill well enough to be so confident in his response to my question or does he think he'd be able to reduce the pain and increase my range of motion. His approach was unlike anyone else. It wasn't painful like the others. There was some pain involved but nothing like m the kind you feel when someone does deep tissue and they're really digging in. It was tolerable and very quickly resulted in relief. It was like magic the way he worked on me and was able to quickly create a release in a gentle way. I don't know how else to describe it honestly. It blows me away because I've never seen anyone with this kind of understanding of the body. Anyway, I can't say enough. Oh! Another thing that took me by surprise is how he wasn't trying to sell me on a package or multiple visits. Everyone I've gone to struggled to tell how effective their session would be and instead, they'd assume and tell me upfront that they'd have to see how many sessions I need to get things under control and that we'll just have to go with the flow and see how I do after each session. In their defense, assuming the best of intentions, they probably didn't know because they are providing out of the box traditional training for massage therapy which generally requires multiple sessions over a few weeks. The problem with that is your body will probably heal on its own over a few weeks anyway. So I don't see the value in that prolonged approach. With Devon, when I was done, I had to ask him when he needs to see me again, he said I shouldn't have to come back and see him. But in case I unexpectedly needed to, he let me know what was his next available appointment. He was that confident. He went into it with the best intentions knowing that with my particular condition, he could likely take care of my needs from the first visit. I instantly realized why he's so busy. He's the most trustworthy and effective guy I've ever ran across. I really can't say enough. He's worth his weight in gold! Thanks so much Devon! read more

I have been receiving, and giving body work for twenty years, and this This is some of the best work that I have received. And I am extremely picky and particular about who I choose to use as a body worker since I work in the field myself. I was experiencing intense neck pain when turning my head as well as wrist pain and tightness from a scapholunate ligament tear.  As well as and some overall muscle soreness from working out, and trouble falling asleep. After only one session though, the next day I was able to turn my head without any tightness or pain and to put pressure on my wrist without pain or soreness also.  Functionally, I was even able to do skull crushers with weights and tricep front bar presses without pain in my wrists, which I haven't been able to do in over a year without sharp pain and my wrists completely failing on me. And my sleep has improved and anxiety decreased as well. Devon's calm and peaceful energy in itself is very relaxing and soothing, and his knowledge of the body and application of Shiatsu acupressure points and Chinese medicine is unique and incredible.  I would highly recommend him and Tao Health Clinic to anyone for relief from pain or in need of healing. read more

It's hard for me to put into words how much Devon has helped me over the past five years. I had a friend tell him about me when my back pain was so bad it hurt to stand up after bending over. This was after having my second child and it made it very hard to take care of a new baby and a toddler. Luckily I found out about Devon and he knew exactly what was going on and how to help me. He is amazing and not only for me but I know many people who go to him anytime they have pain in their body. Anytime I start to feel my lower back tighten up I know I need to make an appointment with Devon (and do yoga more often to prevent it from coming back). I have heard rave reviews about Dixie helping with fertility from more than one person. She's also a very nice person. :) read more

Devon did a great job of explaining what he was doing and why he was doing it to relieve the sciatica pain I was experiencing. His manipulation helped the pain and the exercises he gave me were also very helpful in solving the problem without getting a steroid injection. read more

Super impressed, Devon has helped me and my friends recover from a range of injuries and muscle issues. He's great about giving helpful stretches to help prevent a repeat injury as well. I recommend him to everyone I know. read more

I developed a painful Tennis Elbow (lateral epicondylitis) condition and it got progressively worse to the point it was very painful to pick up a cup of coffee. I had heard good things about Tao Health Clinic and decided to to give them a try. Everything I read about Tennis Elbow told me it would be a long, painful path to recovery. I booked an appointment online and saw Devon. To my utter SHOCK -- after 3 months of pain -- he basically worked a miracle. I walked out feeling amazingly better, and woke up the next morning with a fraction of the pain I had previously encountered. I followed his advice and within a couple of days, I had a dramatic recovery... pain went from an "8" to a "2" after months of worsening. A week later, it was negligible, and I resumed my weight lifting regimen. Prior to seeing these guys, I couldn't lift my laptop. Devon took the time to not only work on my affected area, but to patiently and thoroughly explain the physiology behind the injury. Very thankful for these guys and HIGHLY recommend them. Highly knowledgeable and very friendly. Superb! read more

The team at Tao Health Clinic kept my body moving at 100% and injury free during my professional sporting career. Would recommend Devon and Dixie to everyone to keep that body moving and relaxed. read more

Dixie and Devon Hornby are practitioners here, and they are both amazing. Dixie specializes in acupuncture, and not only is she incredibly educated and skillful about her practice, she is also gentle, kind, and completely invested in her patients' health and well-being. I've been a patient of hers for about a year now, and I can't recommend her highly enough. Devon specializes in body work. I was having unexplained pain in my pregnancy, and medications, massage, and every other possible treatment had failed me. Devon's years of study are very apparent -- he located the problem, approached it carefully and yet without reservation, and with his help, combined with Dixie's acupuncture treatments, I felt almost immediate relief. Beyond the skill and conscientious care that both Dixie and Devon provide, they are also extremely flexible with their time, often accommodating patients outside regular business hours just to make sure their problems are tended to. While this might mean you may wait a bit for your appointment, when it's your turn, you will be amazed at the level of concern and care you receive. If you are interested in acupuncture (including needle treatments, cupping, herbs, etc) or body work (which may include massage, muscle manipulation, stretching, etc), please seek out Devon and Dixie. I can't thank them enough for how much they've helped me. read more

I developed a tennis elbow while playing a match 6 months ago, against a player who hit with a lot of top spin. I searched the web for possible solutions and tried most of them: exercises with multi-colored Theraband Flex bars, Elbow braces, Sports massages, Ice & cold packs, stretches, months of Physical Therapy as well as 2+ months off not only from tennis but limiting weight on the affected hand. Unfortunately none of these worked. The on going pain and lack of exercise made me to search for "tennis elbow" on Yelp where I found a reviewer who had been helped by Devon Hornby. I reached out to Devon and described my problem. Not only was Devon able to fix my tennis elbow, he did it in just two 30 minute massage sessions! I was back to playing tennis after the first session and the 2nd session was used primarily to address another issue I had developed in the interim - pain in my arm & shoulder pain when I lifted my arm. Given my experience, I would highly recommend Devon! He's now going to be my go-to person for any future body work :-). read more

Over the years, I have seen Devon for different challenges (from pregnancy-related alignment issues to over-doing it with my workouts) and he always helps speed my recovery. He takes a holistic approach to healing and has given advice and guidance to help me with my wellness goals. I really appreciate that he is incredibly efficient with is methods and I can often be recovered in just a couple of visits. read more

One year ago I could barely walk and my pain was so severe that even sleep was difficult. Devon has brought me from the edge of insanity back to a normal life, with no surgery and no drugs. Not only am I healing in physical ways, I am learning more about how to "be" instead of always feeling the rush to "do." This review doesn't do justice to the quality of care that Devon and Dixie provide. read more

I can't recommend Devon highly enough! Like another reviewer, I was experiencing persistent tennis elbow and NOTHING was helping! Ice, cortisone shots, exercises, rest...the pain would not go away. Devon was able to get rid of it in only two massage sessions and I was back to doing yoga 3-4 times a week without dreading the vinyasas! It has now been over 8 months and I'm happy to say that the pain has not returned. Thank you Devon! read more

It's Ban Lan Gen. That's the traditional medicine to help with a cold. I have a cold coming on, and I'm taking it by the mega dropper. It has prevented a cold for me many times before. But, if the cold gets outta hand, I'll go see Dixie and Devon. read more

I have been a client of Dixie's for about 3 months now. I'm going through the IVF process and my doctor highly recommended acupuncture & Dixie. She specializes in this type of stuff. Anyway, she's great and my progress is wonderful! She's the best acupuncturist I've ever been too and she cares about every aspect. In regards to Devon... this should actually be a separate 5 star review... but my husband is a veteran with bad knees. He was hardly able to walk when I scheduled him an appointment with Devon... now he is almost pain free and not limping! They are both miracle workers and I recommend them and their business for anyone interested in high quality care! read more

No amount of 5 star reviews can illustrate how talented Devon is. It's something you have to experience first hand. I haven't ever worked with Dixie, but Devon specializes in bodywork. I lived with a nagging shoulder/neck injury for nearly 10 years. I'd tried Physical Therapy, acupuncture, weight training, chiropractors... you name it. With just a few visits with Devon, I was almost completely back to normal. After the first visit, the pain got slightly worse before subsiding substantially. So if you're working with him to overcome a problem or get past a chronic injury, don't be alarmed. The body's healing process is a funny thing. My second visit, weeks later, alleviated the rest of the problem very quickly. Devon's knowledge and technical background is amazing (check out his bio on his website), but more importantly, he's a natural healer. My feeling was that his work was part objective, whole body problem solving and part intuitive work centered through his connectedness and focus on your energy. If that sounds a bit esoteric and fuzzy, I can't help it... the man has a gift. Moreover, I never felt tense or anxious with him as I did with other practitioners. His compassion is palpable. His services aren't cheap, but there's no one I'd trust more. read more

What can I say? In a city that has so many options for acupuncture, and several really great ones- it can be hard to decide where to go. Dixie and her husband are true healers, you feel their love and energy as soon as you walk into the clinic. I used to have chronic urinary tract infections for years and was told I needed surgery to correct my situation. Surgery? Or a year and a half of acupuncture with Dixie. It's been several years that I haven't suffered another bout. You'll never meet warmer, more caring health practitioners. Coming to this clinic will not just heal your illness, it will fill your heart. read more

Woot! love them. Dixie is amazing and you can tell she is 100% meant to be doing what she is doing. She takes her time and totally goes the extra mile. You actually feel like you are in the hands of a skilled professional that CARES. How rare is that!!? AND -- results!!! I was amazed. You can't beat it. i live far south and i am SO glad i found her and made the decision to drive the extra 10 minutes (that i can make phone calls in the car, anyhow!) for her superior care. read more

Dixie is really wonderful! Very kind, compassionate, patient. I felt like she really took a genuine interest in me and what I needed help with. It was so refreshing to see someone who has dedicated their life to learning about holistic health and making it as widely available as possible for others. I feel like now I have another cheerleader in my corner to make our next baby!! :) Just by doing our initial intake consult and proceeding with the appointment, I could tell she was able to get a REALLY great sense for who I was, why my body does the things it does, and what I need. She's in business with her husband, and he is also incredibly kind. They are both just so knowledgeable and helpful! After yesterday's session and beginning some Chinese herbs, I felt a great sense of calm and relaxation. I have total faith in her and the healing properties of these treatments and herbs. I'll be going in once a week and very much so looking forward to it!! Can't wait to see what effect all of this has the longer I go! read more

As far as I'm concerned Devon's bodywork is unsurpassed. He is truly a master at his craft.
