I found myself getting to a relaxed place to the point that I wasn't even aware I was breathing until Jim pulled me out of it. I realized I wasn't thinking about stress of work and didn't notice my back or shoulder afterwards which was surprising considering it was so cold and snowy at the time. I'd recommend this to anyone who would like to step out of their life to regain focus. Pretty amazing!

This is going to be a little long, hopefully you'll find the background relevant…read more I've been disabled for 20 years. Severe chronic back pain from a car crash. I've gone through the pain management program at MarionJoy three times to no avail. Some of their docs really tried to help, others not so much. I've been to most if not all of the major pain specialists in the Chicago area, as well as several out of state, including Mayo Clinic. Tried every non-invasive procedure I could find (I wasn't a candidate for most surgical options): acupuncture, acupressure, chiropractic, various shots, etc. On a good day (once every month or two) I could go grocery shopping, but would be exhausted afterwards. Needed a cane for the past decade if I was going to walk more than 15-30 minutes. Walked like an 80-year-old most of the time. Everything took effort. Then I started at UMA for Qigong with Grand Master McGee. I've still got a ways to go, but have made vast improvements. I can go shopping most any time now, errands aren't usually a big deal, and I can usually cook once a day. Able to be more social, can sit and talk with company without too much discomfort, where it used to be completely exhausting. Haven't used the cane since. In short, I'm feeling human again. Grand Master McGee as well as the other students are a big part of that. Self-defence hasn't been a priority for me, but I'm learning quite a bit in addition to getting me healthy. I'm able to do most of what the rest of the class does, which I honestly didn't think I'd ever be capable of. Grand Master McGee really knows his craft.

She does a thorough evaluation. I'm being treated via acupuncture, cupping, and trans cutaneous stimulation. Most importantly is advice to other lifestyle changes: diet, exercise, stress management, and herbal medicine. I feel better since initiating treatment and know that my condition requires maintenance. Her clinic is on 2nd floor. It is clean and comfortable. She has two private treatment rooms. She explained to me that she started learning about TCM since 7 y.o.. I pay out of pocket for my treatments. My insurance does not cover. However, many flex benefit plans/ and health savings accounts include accupuncture. Very reasonable fees depending on service. Health is the ultimate investment of time, energy , and money.

Jim of Valley Acupuncture is a miracle worker!…read more Since the fall of 2013 I had been dealing with right shoulder and arm pain. The ortho doctor I saw several times for this problem first injected cortisone into the shoulder which, when I awoke the next day, caused the worst pain I had experienced since the onset of my problem. Subsequent visits with the ortho guy and a MRI outlined my only option to be surgery even though the ortho guy was uncertain exactly what would be found during surgery. Being that I had arthroscopic surgery on the left should several years ago with this ortho doctor and have never felt 100% healed, I opted to try an alternative method of treatment. Jim and Valley Acupuncture came recommended to me by my masseuse so I thought...why not? I saw Jim each week for several weeks and then bi-weekly for another few weeks from March to May of 2014. I am happy to say that while I am not completely and totally pain free, I am as close to it as I believe will be possible given my activities and my age (late 50's). Prior to seeing Jim, I woke many times during the night with tingling and a heaviness that caused severe pain in my right arm. Since being treated by Jim, my nights are free of pain and free of the heavy feeling that I experienced prior to my visit to Valley Acupuncture. Jim is professional and personable and truly cares about his patients and their well being. Valley Acupuncture will be my first stop when I need to see a health care professional for any and all arm, shoulder and back issues. I expect Jim is equally qualified to treat other maladies and will use him in the future as the valuable resource that he is.

UPDATE: I am so thankful Bharat offers these self-care services remotely! Unable to attend a yoga retreat or enjoy a massage during this pandemic, it is wonderful that I can still connect with Bharat for a remote session that is every bit as healing and rejuvenating as it is in person- even though I live states away. I can't imagine enduring 2020 without this gem!

Reiki * Hypnosis * Manifestation * Eastern Philosophy…read more I have grown immensly from Bharat's work. When I first came to Bharat I was stuck and had tried everything. Truns out, I needed exactly what he offered, an alignment of my chakras as two were blocked among other organ deficiences, due to long term stress. I've seen him 4 times for Reiki services, twice for hypnosis (to stop life sabotage) and once for a focused manifestation session. Each time he exceeded expectations, and my vibration now attracts the positive to me. Soon I'll be taking Reiki I & II with Bharat to learn more about how to self-heal my energy and will be able to serve others too. (Ask about this!)
