Okay, so as I was coming up on 3 weeks of steadily increasing cervical pain, with no sign of backing off, I thought it might behoove me to actually take some action instead of not-so-patiently waiting for it to go away by itself. I like acupuncture as a first course of treatment for a number of things that ail me, but I'd moved so far away from my former healer that it wasn't practical for me to return, so the search was on!
Finding an acupuncturist that you like isn't always easy - their personality, their treatment style, their success with you- let's face it, success rate is why you're there right? Pain definitely does NOT equal gain! I've found that even though each acupuncturist has his/her own way of treating the patient, I have to walk out of there feeling 100% sure that I was helped to some large degree with my complaint. After seeing Liz, I knew I was helped, hurting significantly less and feeling significantly healed.
If you've been to an acupuncturist before, you'll know that like most holistic or homoeopathic healers, a personal referral is your best bet of finding someone you'll want to see, someone who's a good match for your personality and preferences. I was referred to Liz by a coworker who described her a " a true healer". Sure, that's awesome but more to the point, will she get my pain to go away? Completely away??? Well, as it turns out, yes,she will thank you very much!
Her studio is easy to get to, tucked away down the street behind the Wellfleet Market (yes, my boycott still continues, read my prior review for details!) with (for Wellfleet) plenty of parking outside. Inside is bright, light and open. Liz is welcoming and simply down to earth with instructions on where to go, what to do and wait until she gets there. Her touch is sure and certain, her treatment blends a little muscle manipulation with a lot of energy manipulation and it worked.
Liz more than met my personal criteria in terms of pain reduction and healing from her treatment, making me feel comfortable (you can't start to heal if you're cringing away from the healer, right?) and a day later I still feel a lot better and I'm looking forward to my next visit. Go - yes, you will feel better! read more
