I get severe vertigo making it very difficult to leave the house because I had no balance. My migraines are so much better. I am able to function everyday and my vertigo is gone. When I got really sick with the flu she treated me and my sore throat was gone when I left her office and my symptoms improved by 50% the first night and within 4 days I was completely better. Would not go to anybody else.

I came to Jacksonville Oriental Medicine after my second miscarriage feeling very defeated and…read morelost. Western medicine refused to believe there was anything wrong with me, even though my progesterone levels fell on the lowest side of their range of "normal." I did not feel listened to or taken seriously at all, the doctors had hardly any time for me, much less any answers. Viviane was the first one to listen me. She spent so much time evaluating me and listening to every minor detail of my ordeal trying to successfully carry a child. Within two weeks of treatment I was pregnant again and terrified of suffering another miscarriage. She saw me three times a week my entire first trimester. I began to look forward to, even crave the peace and serenity those appointments offered me. I know I would not still be pregnant now if it wasn't for her wisdom in Chinese Medicine. She is truly gifted at what she does. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking answers to their fertility struggles or for any other ailment you may be experiencing. As Viviane predicted, our baby girl is due in December 2013!

Vivian is amazing and truly knows her acupuncture. She was understanding of my frustrating with not…read morebeing pregnant yet and very kind about everything. She studied my fertility charts on my phone's app and seemed to know right away where to place the needles. After trying to conceive for a year, we were able to get a positive pregnancy test within 3 treatments! I was hesitant to trying herbs and cupping, but both were much less strange than I had initially imagined them being and really think they helped us conceive. I'm an acupuncture believer and have been for a few years, but I had only used it for stress relief and pain treatments prior to these visits. Now I'll make sure to get treated again for the next child! The only reason I took off one star is because the walls between her rooms are rather thin and many of her customers are loud talkers so it was difficult to fully relax during the treatments due to noise. But the end result is still the same- she is great at what she does and was able to get me pregnant, so the noise issue is minor. Just don't expect quite tranquility like you would at a massage spa. Thank you, Vivian!

I think this may be my new favorite thing. You sit in this comfy room and put your feet in a copper bowl and it uses electric current to detox your meridians of toxins and nasties. For someone like me who lives a pretty "clean" lifestyle- I can't imagine how much it would help people who use a lot of chemicals. The water turned a nasty orange color and it was cool.

They had samples to try on the grand opening day: steamed cabbage with chipotle sea salt, asparagus with siracha sea salt, chicken with bell peppers and a sweet and tangy BBQ sauce, Buffalo beef, Sweet potato allspice cinnamon , and basmati rice. All were tasty, but I definitely could have used hot sauce. Massage therapies offered are aromatherapy, deep tissue, hot stone, sports massage, swedish, trigger point, prenatal, and table thigh massage. Pricing is $70 for 60 minutes and $100 for 90 minutes. Hot stone is a little more, $15 extra. Never heard of Thermography until now. It is a non-invasive FDA approved imaging procedure (no radiation) that looks at changes in the breast and body.

The initial breast scan is $170, which takes images of the breast, under arm lymphatic region, and upper back. The 3-month follow-up breast scan is $150. You can also look at images of just one region such as a face, legs, abdomen ($170). A woman's health screening or two regions is $270, three regions is $325, and four+ regions are $375. Prices for items/supplements are a little more expensive but still reasonable. They say that if there is something you can't find then they might be able to order it for you. This can be a good place to find items or gifts for the health-conscious person.
