This review is for both Dr. Jamie Reed and Amy Hundley, LMT. Five stars for both. But only because Yelp won't let me give six stars. Jamie and Amy are the best!

Dr. Jamie Reed
Jamie is phenomenal acupuncturist and so much more. She holds a doctorate in Chinese Medicine and combines that knowledge with her experience as a licensed massage therapist, mobility coach, and CrossFit athlete to provide all-encompassing treatments that may include acupuncture, cupping, body work, mobility training, nutrition recommendations, and prescribed herbal supplements and tinctures.
I started working with Jamie two years ago. At the time, I was struggling with anxiety and depression as well as chronic back pain, knee pain, and a condition called "trigger finger," which caused the ring finger on my left hand to lock in a closed position so tightly that I sometimes had to use my right hand to physically force it open. Jamie helped to relieve my anxiety and depression to the point where I feel like a new person today. She cured my back pain. She's reduced my trigger finger symptoms to where they're barely noticeable to non-existent, giving me back full use of my left hand. And she's managed my knee injury to the point where it's completely pain-free. That allowed me to start running again for the first time in years and helped give me the lower-body stability I needed to lift substantially heavier weight so that, as of the day I'm writing this, I've broken through the performance plateau that I'd reached, gained over 20 pounds of muscle, and dramatically improved my speed and power as an endurance athlete both on my bike and when running.
Beyond what initially brought me to Jamie, I found that when my allergies are bothering me, Jamie combines acupuncture and lymphatic massage to open my sinuses better than any OTC or prescription decongestant (and unlike drugs, with zero side effects). She's so good at this treatment that I'd love to start every day with it if I could.
When I broke a rib for the first time mountain biking last year, I discovered that all western medicine had to offer was the recommendation to rest for 30 days, which didn't sound like much fun to me. Jamie combined acupuncture with a prescribed herbal supplement that had me 95% pain free in three days. The same week that I broke my rib, I was able to get back in the gym doing modified workouts and back on my bike riding without any discomfort.
Not only is Jamie amazing at what she does, she's also become one of my favorite people. She has a relaxed, non-clinical style and is just fun to hang out with, making me look forward to every session.
Finding Jamie improved my health in so many ways. I can't recommend her more highly.

Amy Hundley, LMT
Best. Massage therapist. Ever. For real, folks. Amy is awesome. If you're over-stressed, she can turn your brain off in minutes and leave you fully calm and relaxed by the end of your session. If you're an athlete looking to speed up recovery or anyone in need of help with an acute or chronic injury, her sports massage technique is perfection. She very quickly assesses your needs (in my case, much better than I can) and dials in the amount of pressure you need to get the maximum possible therapeutic benefit. She's skilled at cupping, which works incredibly well when you have deep muscle tightness. She also makes recommendations to improve your warm ups and cool downs based on your individual needs and provides guidance on techniques you can take away to speed recovery from an injury. Among other feats, she stopped a persistent headache that I had for multiple days in minutes. And recently, when a sinus infection with asthma complications including a severe cough knocked me out of commission, Amy combined lymphatic massage and other specialized techniques to help open my sinuses and relive the tightness in my neck, back, and chest caused by coughing that sped the recovery process and got me off the sofa and back to training. Amy does it all, and she does it incredibly well. Very highly recommended. read more
