I had never received treatment using alternative medicine before but I decided to keep an open mind and an open heart. At the time when I had started treatment I was on a very strong anti-psychotic.

After a few weeks of relief from the treatment I finally had the courage to let my psych know that I no longer wanted to be on the meds. It has been going well for me since then.

I am not new to acupuncture by any stretch, but in the intake interview Amy asked me some very personal questions that did not relate to anything about my treatment needs, but I tried to go with the flow. She recommended some books and we had a very good conversation, but then the needles started to go in. Amy puts the needles in VERY deep, which I have learned through the years is simply not necessary 90% of the time. At one point, she put a needle in my upper left shin (lateral aspect). It was immediately on fire but I tried to breathe through it. Next up, the needles went in my ears. She put one into my left ear and I started shouting, "Ow! Ow!" She almost seemed to enjoy this because she just twisted the needle in as I shouted. By the end of the session, the lower half of my left leg was completely numb, my ear was throbbing, and I was trying to focus on staying calm. I did reschedule another appt at first, but cancelled it a few days later because my lower left leg and ear were STILL bothering me and because I just didn't want to endure another session. She has a lot of knowledge but uses a very old, American-style of acupuncture that I realize is the cause of so many people being turned off by this ancient practice. I ended up getting two appointments at another clinic and had a much, much better experience.

I have been seeing Christina over the years for different ailments and always loved my experience…read more But this past 1.5 years of consistent acupuncture has been an incredible experience for me and the ultimate gift at the end of the process - my little girl! I came back to acupuncture after having a miscarriage to heal and hopefully get pregnant again in February of 2025. Christina talked me through everything - supplements, acupuncture cadence and benefits of cupping and infared sauna. I took the supplements as directed and came in 8x a month, with occasional adjustments to my membership. I will never forget joining in a sound bath at Vitality Wellness in the first month and laying underneath the wall of babies Christina helped bring to this world. I prayed I would have a little one of my own to join the wall. By June of 2025 I was pregnant! And came in regularly every month to be supported by acupuncture and cupping. I was a high risk pregnancy due to preexisting conditions but my little girl and I were completely healthy throughout the entire process. She was welcomed into the world in February of 2026 - exactly 1 year after I started my journey again back at Vitality Wellness. Postpartum I have felt amazing and continue to see Christina. I genuinely attribute the investment into my mental and physical well being was a huge factor in my successful and healthy pregnancy and birth. Thank you so much for all of your support, Christina. I'm so grateful my little one is officially on the wall of babies!

The positive change is so great that even my husband noticed! I feel the effects of stress less, I am sleeping better and overall feel amazing and balanced! It's like a switch was flipped. Christina has helped me regain my footing and I will continue to move forward in healing with Vitality Wellness!

After a long and…read moredisappointing run of negative pregnancy test after negative test, my husband and I decided to give acupuncture a shot. After a month and a half of treatment with Julie, I was pregnant. Being an avid tracker of data I noticed that with acupuncture I had a pronounced increase in my basal body temperature around ovulation time. I was less stressed and had an overall sense of well-being. I ended up seeing Julie throughout my entire pregnancy. Every symptom I had was alleviated through acupuncture. If I had heartburn, congestion, nausea, any indigestion, you name it Julie was there. With a kind soul she provided the individualized care I desperately needed during that stressful time. My little guy is 7 months old now and I can't thank Julie enough for everything she did for us! I highly recommend the Nest and Julie

This review is way overdue. A year ago, I developed horrible skin issues. Knowing most prescription…read moremedications have side effects, I opted for all OTC ointments I can find, and none helped. Then, looking at local reviews on Yelp, I stumbled on Lee's Herbs Acupuncture. Dr. Li was prompted in returning my initial phone call to discuss my symptoms and I was able to set up an appointment next day. Upon examining my skin, it was determined I have allergies to certain food I eat. My work-related stress level was also a main contributor to the severity of my problems. With no other alternatives, I decided to try acupuncture and drink Chinese herbal tea for the first time. I took the opportunity of my weekly acupuncture sessions to relax and clear my mind. Drinking the herbal tea daily, on the other hand, was not a pleasant experience even though it helped my issues tremendously. By adding honey as Dr. Li suggested made it bearable. In addition to giving up seafood and spicy foods, I also started using baby shampoo/lotion since most adult beauty products contain harmful chemicals. Five months after my treatment, I am happy to say the symptoms have cleared and I am better at managing my stress level. Dr. Li has an amicable bedside manner. I love the fact that he is patient and willing to listen. Never once did I feel rushed. After the treatments I received, I understand why people from out of state to seek his help. I referred two of my friends to Dr. Li. They are still under his care. I must mention Dr. Li does not working with any insurance company since none will accept his claims. Therefore, the cost may be high depending on the treatment. As of Fall of 2021, he no longer has Sunday appointments. The office is located in a busy commercial/residential area. Street parking is the only option. Keep that in mind when booking your appointment.
