I recently experienced terrible headache and insomnia due to stress and trauma. I found out…read moreChristina's clinic and tried out. It was amazing! My headache improved immediately after the 1st session and I felt sleepy at night. I was able to reduce the medications after a few sessions and managed the headache much better. Christina is very nice, professional, caring, and listening to patients. She is very knowledgeable in acupuncture and knows how to treat patients based on the illness. She got the Master degree in Acupuncture in U.S. I highly recommend her to my friends and relatives. Her office is conveniently located on Orange/Green Lines.

I'd been looking for a decent acupuncturist since moving to Boston 9 (!!!!) years ago. It took…read morealmost a decade, but I finally found one. Stephanie is attentive, soothing, and can put me into a state of bliss in a matter of minutes. Seriously. I get woozy (in a good way) and almost always fall asleep during treatment. It's that relaxing. An hour of having needles stuck in me is the only thing I've found that will calm down my Type-A bullshit (other than high doses of Xanax. Acupuncture is probably the better option). And she's super reasonable. Not having to pay $100 an hour for rush-job acupuncture is worth 5 stars alone. Plus, cupping! Always amusing to have insane looking bruises on your back when you are.... **ahem** ...with a new boy. Fun times.

I learned about Chi Harmony when CoupMe had a special for 2 acupuncture sessions. So happy I bought…read moreone! In two sessions, Stephanie managed to loosen up the tightness in my back a bit, and make my back hurt less. She had a thorough Q&A session with me beforehand to gain an understanding of what I wanted to work on and what my expectations were. The location itself is just a room in one of the buildings at Copley Square, but it's quiet and comfortable--very important factors for acupuncture (think the exact opposite of Charlotte's experience in SATC). I'd definitely recommend Chi Harmony for acupuncture. They have some additional treatments such as cupping as well.

I can't really express how overjoyed I was to find a massage therapist who was really good at what…read morethey do, who I liked, and was within 10 mins drive from my house! But I'm going to try my darnedest, cause I'm writing a review and words are, how do you say... Very important. Late last year I threw out my back at work, followed by my first ever tension headache (HOWCANPEOPLEGETTHOSEREGULARLY?) I did my regular "help I've screwed my back up AGAIN!" call to my chiropractor, who was able to reset things, but unable to relieve me of all pain. My dad emailed the lady he knows who massages. I was a bit hesitant because my dad has seen some pretty strange people in the past, I'm glad I was in such pain that I agreed to pick up whatever appointment Emily had available. It was one of the best decisions I made in 2010. I hobbled in to see her on a Saturday afternoon, I was surprised to find that she was not much older than I, very professional, and when we went over the little intake form her questions and comments were not only valid, but she seemed to take an actual genuine interest in how my (very physically demanding) job affected my general health. I have, in the past been underwhelmed with massage experiences because I feel like they worked too lightly on me- Emily was able to get in and really work the knots outta my muscles without it being uncomfortable. A good balance of strength and knowledge! She's now become the go-to for my dad, mum and I. I have finally been able to recommend somebody who is affordable, easy to contact and schedule with, and nice. She also let me know about a great deal this December where you could buy 4 gift certificates for a discounted rate and get a free massage for yourself - I was able to make my mum, aunt, and a couple friends happy to receive the gift of relaxation, while shopping local and getting a little something for myself!

So far I've felt huge tension relief and I'm able to focus at my sit/stand desk at work. Plus, my carpal tunnel has started to ease up after appointments. The space is warm, calming, and welcoming. They always have water and tea to help hydrate before or after appointments. Ball Sq is an easy walk from Davis, and there's plenty of parking to be had.

I have a myriad of issues that I'm dealing with: anxiety, digestion issues, muscle pain, PMDD and…read moretroubles with sleep. My first session with Denise was about three weeks ago. The first thing to note about her practice is that I could immediately tell that she truly cares about her clients. Acupuncture with Denise feels like visiting a close friend who just wants you to get better. Without going into too much detail, Denise saw my situation and provided me with accommodations on so many levels in order to ease this process for me. I'm seeing some of my physical symptoms improve. Mostly my anxiety has greatly dulled, and I find I have extremely better bowel movements and pain relief in the days following acupuncture. If you want to feel cared for and ease any pain/stress Denise is the best choice. I'm very happy with her and recommend her especially to those struggling with anxiety.

I've been coming here for years now whenever I've had flare ups of chronic headaches and it's always helped.

If nothing else you'll get some of the most peaceful rest of your life out of it. This place is an absolute gift to the community.

When I started I couldn't walk my dog, do errands, garden, or sweep the kitchen. I had to nap twice a day for at least an hour each time. I went to 8 sessions - very pricey - $190/each - and of course I wondered if it was worth it. But the morning after my eighth session, I woke up feeling like myself again. It was amazingly sudden. I was immediately able to do everything I couldn't do before - starting slow, but building up to almost normal. Now, 5 months after I started seeing them, I'm trying very limited aerobic activities like longer walks, and swimming. It's slow progress at this stage, but a big change from doing nothing!!! I don't pretend to understand their theory or method, but it worked for me. The whole staff is kind and caring. Spend the money if you possibly can. Don't waste your time in bed!

However, he immediately put me at ease with his calm, respectful approach and clear depth of knowledge. I felt comfortable opening up, which made a big difference in my overall experience. He asked thoughtful, thorough questions and took the time to clearly explain his approach and recommendations. This gave me a lot of confidence in the care I was receiving. Nothing ever felt rushed or impersonal; he was genuinely attentive and invested in my situation. One unique aspect of the experience is the brief massage following the treatment. It's such a relaxing and helpful addition that really enhances each session. I truly felt cared for and supported throughout my visits. His team is also fantastic warm, welcoming, and professional. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a thoughtful, compassionate acupuncturist.

So it is very easy for me to enthusiastically support and get behind the Tam Healing Center because they helped me NOT to be in a wheelchair. Sometimes in life we all need a helping hand and often when you have exhausted Western medicine's surgeries and medications, it is hard to know where to look. Many of Western medicine's treatments for illness and trauma, carry many risks and side effects, worse than the original condition. Acupuncture and other therapies prevent illness by optimizing your health and wellbeing. The Tam Healing Center is a special place dedicated to using alternative therapies to promote natural healing and recognizes the connection between mind and body. You will find acupuncture is at the core of these options but there is also herbal medicine, cupping, and collective meditation. As soon as you step foot in the Tam Healing Center you will be supported but encouraged to own what you are responsible for in the experience. There is little room for self-pity or "poor baby" here. However, you are listened too and people with chronic conditions and chronic pain are particularly well served here! Three hospitals and entire teams of neurosurgeons said I would be in a wheelchair on a breathing tube, "like Christopher Reeve," but instead I am checking out the Tai Chi at the Tam Healing Center and going hiking! Are you ready to go to the office of healing?
