This review is on my first microneedling session with Lynda Carter who has been my acupuncturist for 2+ years. I have a very sensitive skin prone to redness and large pores so I decided to try microneedling that is known to provide many benefits for skin including pore size reduction, increased collagen production that strengthens blood vessels and reduces redness, improves skin tone texture, etc. The first step of the procedure was skin cleansing, then a numbing cream was applied to my face and neck for about 20-30 minutes. The microneedling procedure was pretty much painless (a little bit of prickling sensation), I felt very comfortable the entire time. After that a serum and a soothing sheet face mask were applied to my skin. My face and neck looked pretty red immediately after the procedure, it took about 24 hours for the redness to go away. It's been 4 days and I can definitely see the positive results : more even skin tone, less noticeable pores, improved firmness and smoother skin texture. Day 10 -my skin keeps glowing. I would definitely go back for more treatments. I highly recommend Lynda- her calm energy, gentle touch, deep knowledge of TCM create a perfect combination for your healing and relaxation. read more

I first went to Chelsie for help with my allergies to various environmental elements; I have been dealing with these since I was a child and some of my worst allergy attacks leave me sick and weak. I was nervous about going to acupuncture because I was uncertain about needles and if it would hurt, but my sister had been a long time patient for a sports injury and encouraged me to go. From the start, Chelsie was patient and gentle. She spent time asking me about all of my symptoms so she could develop the best treatment plan. I was pleasantly surprised to discover that acupuncture does not hurt, and was even relaxing! With Chelsie's acupuncture treatments, and some suggested herbs and natural ointments from her, my allergy symptoms have become much better and I have not had a serious attack since I began treatment. I have since continued going to Chelsie for other problems; this has really helped me with my anxiety, frequent nightmares, back pain, digestion problems, and low energy. She really does do it all! Chelsie exudes calmness and care and she is always so focused on helping my physical and emotional health when I come for an appointment...her care is part of what helps me feel better! read more

I've only once left a yelp review and am not big into doing this, but this one was worth posting! Chelsie is amazing at what she does! I'm a crossfit athlete who has been suffering from chronic knee pain for over a year. It got to the point where my squat # was suffering and anything below parallel was killing me. I saw a Physical Therapist who was also great, he gave me some at home exercises but getting better was taking forever. I felt helpless. I originally started seeing Chelsie while she was an intern still in school. During my first apt she did ortho exams on me to distinguish where the tightness was coming from (I was very impressed). She found that the pain was actually coming from a very tight hip flexor and IT band. She released those areas and Estimed the knee around the tendon. After 3 treatments the pain was gone! I am so thankful I found her, and I highly recommend anyone who is skeptical about acupuncture to give it a try and go see Chelsie! read more

I have dabbled with acupuncture in the past, but never found someone as gifted as Chelsea. Her extensive knowledge of acupuncture and Chinese medicine coupled with extraordinary compassion have made me a believer! What started out as a visit to deal with residual nerve pain after back surgery, has led me to incorporating acupuncture on a regular basis for overall wellness and optimal health. Chelsea's menopause treatments for symptoms of insomnia, sluggish metabolism, and mood swings have made me feel like myself again...my loved ones will agree! Did I mention that I also look better?! Her facial acupuncture and micro-needling have all but erased my fine lines and wrinkles. THANK YOU CHELSEA!!! I highly recommend Chelsea and Acupuncture RSF! read more

In the past 10 years I had tried several solutions to cure my lower back pain (chiropractors, deep tissue message, etc.) without much success. They all helped ease the pain, but none managed to cure the issue; I recently decided to give acupuncture a shot and see if this method can help me get rid of the pain. To my surprise Chelsie manged to eliminate my pack pain after only a couple of sessions. She is extremely knowledgeable and fantastic at what she does. She pin pointed where the pain was originating from and by focusing in that area I felt significantly better even after the 1st session. I definitely recommend anyone interested in acupuncture to see Chelsie. Thanks to her work I am now living my life pain free. read more

I have had treatments for digestion, insomnia and head aches with incredible success. The treatments for menopause have changed my life and kept me from the temptation of hormone replacement therapy which is a relief since my mother died of cancer. No more night sweats, hot flashes, sleepless nights or just the crazy stream of thoughts and challenges menopause brings. I am so grateful! Chelsie is a gifted healer! Her compassion and intuition is phenomenal and her professionalism is unmatched! I recently started her facial rejuvenation therapy and people have literally been commenting on my face and skin everywhere I go and I've only had three treatments so far. She is the BEST!!! read more

Chelsie is an amazing acupuncturist, herbalist, and practitioner of Eastern Medicine! I highly recommend everyone see her for whatever ails them. Chelsie has been helping to treat my Sjogren's Syndrome and Rheumatoid Arthritis for a long time now. She has been able to alleviate my pain and discomfort and has helped me to lead a more normal and active life. Chelsie always shows compassion and understanding; qualities that are often hard to find in the medial profession. She truly cares and wants all of her patients to feel their best and obtain an optimum level of health and well-being. Thank you Chelsie for all you have done!!! read more

Chelsie is a skilled acupuncturist with a great personality. You can always rely on her professionalism, expertise, and care for her patience. After her initial counseling session she'll outline a plan to address your health cocerns, and she'll continuously inquire about your health status onwards so that the quality of your sessions are never compromised. Also her clever remarks with their roots in Chinese medicine provide a refreshing new way to learn about the inner workings of your body. I'm very satisfied with my experience at Acupuncture RSF, and strongly recommend it to anyone seeking such service. read more

I was suffering from H. pylori bacteria in my gut and Chelsie and RASHELLE. Both of them helped me out after one round of anabiotic's from my western doctor he had me tested I was still tested positive then I took the holistic medicine from Chelsie and Rashelle for four weeks and I went to to my gastroenterologist Dr. and he recommended to do endoscopy to make sure if the treatment worked or not and I just got my endoscopy test and it was eradicated. I'm so thankful for both of chelsie and Rashelle for knowledge and their healing system and for sure natural medicine works. read more

I had an acute issue with my Achilles tendon for over a year. My orthopedist was suggesting surgery, but my general practitioner recommended acupuncture with Chelsie. She is an extremely professional and compassionate practitioner. She was careful evaluating the situation and prudent in devising her procedure plan. Within 5 sessions I had regained full range of motion and subsidence of pain so I was able to actually sleep through the night again! I hadn't expected such good results and I am very grateful to Chelsie. (Thank you, Chelsie!) read more

I highly recommend going to Chelsie! She has a deeply compassionate presence and her needle technique is amazing! I'm extremely needle (and qi) sensitive so I'm really picky about that sort of thing. I always felt deeply listened to and I like to refer to receiving her treatments as "the goddess treatment" because she always added that little bit of extra love with massage and aroma therapy, which I LOVED! She's very understanding and every treatment I felt nurtured and like I was floating on cloud 9 read more

Chelsie helped me through my 2nd auto accident in 6 months. Over several weeks she got me through the pain and discomfort that traditional physical therapy was unsuccessful at providing.

Chondra at The Healing Sanctuary RSF is amazing! After months on crutches, I had serious tension in my traps.
