At my OB appt on Friday I had not shown any signs of labor starting naturally). I really wanted to avoid a medicated induction, my goal was to have as few interventions as possible during the birth to lower the likelihood of a c-section. I had never done acupuncture before and was a bit skeptical but I thought "what could it hurt?" and made an appointment for 4:30PM on Friday. Theresa was extremely kind and a pure professional, her office is clean, comfortable and convenient. The acupuncture went very well, she even took the time to walk my husband through a few acupressure points he could perform during labor to keep contractions moving along and lower my pain levels during the birth. Well, long story short, my water broke at 6:15AM on Saturday! Less than 13 hours after our session ended! I delivered a beautiful baby boy vaginally with minimal interventions. We are so grateful to Theresa and loved our experience with her! I will definitely recommend her to friends and will try using her services in the future for pain management and other ailments. Effective and professional, overall a wonderful experience with amazing results!

The pain disappeared completely over the next couple of hours. Teresa also gave me recommendations for ongoing prevention, which have turned out to be totally successful. I will definitely go back to see Teresa again if the need arises. I wholeheartedly recommend Buechel Acupuncture!

Nov 2024 * Friends Michael and Pamela Batenburg were…read moreabsolutely amazing and so much fun to be with. This was my 2nd Bear hunt with them. Even though we didn't get a bear on this adventure. They made up for it every time with amazing coffee, Delicious foods and deserts. A warm toasty fire every night, also wonderful sleeping conditions I didn't even need a sleeping bag or my own pillow.(Lol) We had a great experience with a different group of friends and guest who showed up to serve those who were devastated by the horrible flooding that has never happened like that before. God blessed those who really stepped up. Also on a side note. If you are able to book a hunt. It will be a lot harder to kill anything with a full moon. And on the positive side me and my great friend Kyle had a blast. We will definitely be coming back again soon. Highly recommend this place.

I cannot even begin to express my gratitude to Dr. Alex Tan. Before seeing him, I was bogged down…read morewith so many symptoms and every doctor I saw, prior to him, was dismissive, barely acknowledging my concerns. Of course, having my entire life turned upside down due to health issues was unacceptable to me and frankly, he was my last hope. Without disclosing my entire health history, here is a bit of what I was dealing with: -chronic pain -chronic exhaustion -retained water -mild depression I wasn't an easy fix, my symptoms had been going on for over a year, but, since seeing Dr. Tan, my life has really changed; I am no longer retaining water, at all, my energy is coming back, my mood is 100 times better and my pain has really decreased and is much more tolerable. Here is why I highly recommend Dr. Tan, he listens, his treatments are well thought out, he is thorough, he is knowledgeable and he is kind. This was not a one time treatment scenario, I was a mess by the time I got to him, but throughout the time I have seen him, I have turned up with symptoms unrelated to my overall purpose for seeing him, does that make sense? For example, I turned up with a chest cold/irritation once and another time with a severe muscle spasm in my calf that had been going on for over a week and both of those were relieved after one treatment. I wish I had learned about Straight Bamboo much earlier but I know now and am quite grateful. I hope this review helps and if you are struggling, health wise, I hope you are much better very soon.

The Mountain House saved my life, as it is the most supportive place I could ever imagine. In addition, the recovery community in Flagstaff is exceptional. I arrived in AZ on July 4th 2021,after living in a sober house in Milwaukee for 9 months. At the time, my older sister was living in Phoenix, and dealing with several health problems, as well as having to cope with her husband's recently diagnosed alzhiemers. Little brother to the rescue. I should add, that 6 months earlier, my 2 younger brother's died. Drink and drugs were never in play during these challenging circumstances. Tragically, sister Cynthia passed 7 weeks after I landed at the Mountain House. Again, substance abuse never came into play, as I was spiritually fit, and able to rely on the extraordinary support of my fellow wounded healers at the M.H.

Went to Hypo2 to see Wes after a recommendation from a friend. Wes sees all professional runners in…read morethe area, so I knew this would be the best place for me to seek out help for nagging hip pain that had gone undiagnosed for months. After a brief exam, Wes informed me he believed a torn labrum to be the cause of my hip pain. He ordered imaging after which I was thrown into a circle of back-and-forth opinions as to whether or not the labrum was indeed torn. Fast forward 6 months of continued pain and disagreement between specialists, and I made the decision to undergo hip arthroscopy to get a better look and fix the possible tear in my labrum. After surgery, I awoke the the information that not only did I indeed have 2 labral tears but also a case of FAI as well. I cannot thank Wes and Hypo2 enough for making the initial diagnosis of my labral tears and giving me the confidence I needed to undergo the procedure to have them fixed. Hypo2 is the real deal and will be the first place I turn to with any and all injuries in my running career.

I can't say enough about Wes at Hypo2.

I had glute amnesia and all my other muscles that I had been trying to run with were so very painful and tight. After a few meetings I started feeling that I was improving . I had hardly any muscle tone on the gluten muscles needed to run efficiently. Strength training snd rolling was very important- I'm now running extensively and scheduled for my second ultra race and a 100 miler this winter. I love what Wes does and two of my running friends have literally drove from Phoenix to meet with him concerning their running issues. Without him I'm sure I'd still be working the aid stations for everyone else's race- now I'm running my own.

This review is regarding Abbigail Pederson at Rediant Light Counseling…read more When someone conducts themselves in personal settings in a way that is completely at odds with the professional services they advertise, especially services involving children, it raises serious concerns. During a large school event where Abbigail was engaging positively with students by giving them high-fives, she repeatedly ignored one child's multiple attempts to be included, while continuing to acknowledge other children sitting right beside them. The child was left visibly upset, embarrassed, and confused in front of his peers. That child was our twelve-year-old son. At the time, he was so hurt by the incident that he quit the after-school club activity, and I stopped volunteering as the leader of the group as well, despite the team winning locally and getting ready to compete at state. Additionally, because of what we witnessed, and after learning she was affiliated with the counseling center we were taking our son to, we no longer felt that setting was emotionally safe for him and chose not to return. I am sharing this publicly now because, during my son's recent intensive therapy related to long-term medical trauma and chronic pain, this incident resurfaced through EMDR as having been far more emotionally damaging than we realized at the time. If I was a parent considering Abbigail for my child's therapy, I would want to know about this side of her and the impact it's had on another child. Abbigail's professional messaging emphasizes "helping people thrive". but for me it's difficult to reconcile that message with behavior that was so dismissive, publicly humiliating, and so lacking in empathy towards a child. While this occurred outside of a clinical setting, it raised serious concerns for me about the empathy, judgment, and the emotional safety one would expect from someone working with vulnerable children. 3/26/26 - Update to response - The school was never involved in this matter. We were never contacted by Abigail to discuss her clear concerns about our son or her actions towards him. The offer from Abigail's former employer would not allow our son to be involved. He wanted to know directly what he had done to explain being left out and, given, his hurt we felt that it was important for him to be heard and present in the discussion and they would not allow it. The incident was between Abigail and our son and therefore they both should be present for productive resolution. I feel my initial review fully explains how this incident directly relates to her work as a therapist. This is just our experience with her - any potential or existing client can draw their own conclusions on what is right for their family and children.

I took my mom to see Dr. Hales with copies of her MRI and Xrays and other doctors notes. She had…read morebeen trying alternative methods of chiropractic and therapy for years without any relief.. He examined her after reviewing her information and said she would be in a wheelchair or paralyzed (which is what her other doctors told her as well). My mother needed surgery but lives in Illinois and would have had no one to help care for her afterwards. I researched as much as I could about her specific symptoms and discovered a specific device that could potentially change her life. She was unable to walk more than 30 yards before needing to sit and rest and would walk those 30 yards hunched over as THAT relieved the pain. She had not been able to lie flat for years and succumbed to sleeping on a couch. Dr. Hales, as my research showed, was very possibly the best surgeon I could find for her to do this procedure. She walked day one. Day two, she walked better. By the second week, she was walking more than 30 yards and not having those old pains. This was THE BEST choice for her and she has done wonderfully. Sadly, I have a 20 year old son who 2 other doctors have diagnosed him with Degenerative Disk Disease and he cries just putting on his socks. It's going to be a miserable life for him, and he may have to be a new patient of Dr. Hales. These aren't things we chose to do, but things life hands us to deal with. Dr. Hales proved to be exactly what my mom needed. Thank you Dr. Hales.

Dr. Hale's office person who makes the appointments said, "He won't see you unless you've exhausted…read moreall your options." I thought that meant that he was an expert in high demand, not what I later found out myself, and from others, that he is a surgery-happy doctor, and that that's the only thing he advises for everyone, and tries to scare people into doing. He saw me for limited symptoms caused by calcium buildup on the vertebrae, (OPLL), and the resulting spinal cord compression. At the time I had no idea what was going on, and he told me I could become quadriplegic from even sneezing, or tripping and falling, and needed to get immediate fusion surgery. I spent 6 anxiety-ridden weeks, researching the condition, while waiting for a Flagstaff neurosurgeon, Dr. David Sacco's second opinion. I discovered that there is absolutely NO empirical evidence of any kind that someone who has my condition is at greater risk of quadriplegia, and that it is only general, commonly held "common sense wisdom" by doctors. The second opinion was to simply keep an eye on the condition, and get another MRI in 6 months to a year, as my symptoms were minimal, and had already gone mostly away after making lifestyle changes, in terms of getting up from sitting regularly, and doing stretches. Doctor Hale and his assistant would not call me back to discuss any of this, even after I called back twice, both times being assured that he would call me. This doctor is really hurting people by creating huge anxiety, that only makes healing much more difficult. He is both unethical and unconscionable in his greedy pursuit of endless $21k operations. He covers himself from liability and sanctions, by using surgery scare tactics in person, like saying that you could become quadriplegic from even sneezing, or tripping and falling if you don't get surgery, but then in the actual written report, only saying that the risk of injury was only "relatively greater!"
