I found this episode to be extremely disrespectful. Dr Johnson could have saved me a lot of inconvenience by mailing the termination letter, but her husband falsely claimed that mailing it was a HIPAA violation!

He worked with my insurance to ensure I received the most out of my benefits and I would recommend him 100%. I look forward to returning!!

We optimize wellness by taking care of the "whole" person based on fundamental principles of holistic medicine and integration of mind and body. We specialize in acupuncture, Oriental herbs, massage, Gua Sha and now facial rejuvenation. Acupuncture is an ancient Chinese treatment that is being embraced in Western culture. The procedure uses hair-thin needles placed at specific areas of the body and is painless and natural. Acupuncture is highly effective for many health issues. It can increase energy, improve sleep patterns, reduce symptoms of menopause, stress or illnesses and enhance mental clarity and addictive tendencies. Facial rejuvenation is a form of acupuncture that has been used since the Chinese Sung Dynasty (960-1279 A.D.) Needles are inserted at strategic points in the face and neck to induce the movement of blood and stimulate collagen production. The procedure can reduce fine lines and improve the overall skin tone in your face. Gua Sha is a healing technique used throughout Asia. "Gua" means to rub or cause friction. "Sha" describes congestion of blood at the surface of the body. Gua Sha increases normal circulation to the muscles, tissues and organs directly beneath the surface of the area being treated. Patients can relieve stiffness, pain and mobility and find Gua Sha helpful in resolving colds and stubborn coughs.

While lots of doctors/practitioners of various kinds do this or say they do, Zoe is more sensitive and respectful in this regard than anyone I have known. It makes a big difference.

Her rate is reasonable and she helps with insurance. It is a delight and pleasure to go to her, as she is also a kind and supportive and lovely person. She is the only acupuncturist I would ever go to.

It took several sessions with gradually increasing levels of depth and pressure but I am now able to work and play sports pain free between sessions. David has endeavored to make me as comfortable as possible while not allowing me to get in the way of my treatment.

As a first time mom, it was wonderful to have their expertise and level-headed approach to pregnancy and childbirth throughout the journey - and lord knows I had a million and one questions. They are both knowledgeable, kind, and genuinely lovely people to know and work with. Rose was the doula in attendance at my birth and her presence was so calming and appreciated. She came to our house during early labor when I was unsure of how the process was going. And from the house to the hospital, she was with us every step of the way. In the hospital, she had lots of supplies with her to support my L&D, including a much used hot water bottle that made those first few hours more bearable. And when the doctors said my son was "sunny side up," Rose helped moved me into different positions and did adjustments to help encourage baby to change position (which he did!!). She held my hand (and my leg ) during 3 hours of pushing and reminded me often to breathe, made sure I was drinking water, and reminded me to relax when possible. Truly, I could not have done it without her. It was amazing to have someone looking out for me in the L&D room. As as added bonus, she took photos when our son was born which are really special to have. Although I think I'm a "one and done" type person with my son, if I were to have another child, I would engage Jenny and Rose again for their services in a heartbeat!

SSD has TENS units for clients and I got to use one for this birth (no idea if it helped but so glad to try it out!). The community classes are informative. I went into labor at 2:30 in the morning and Rose joined us shortly afterwards. She knows what signs mean your labor is progressing and what might be helpful in reducing pain and when you need to leave for the hospital, and she knows how to let your body lead the labor. At the hospital, Rose advocated for us to make sure we had the care we needed (e.g.: the hospital was understaffed and we were left alone and I was in no state to ask where on earth our medical team was when I was pushing). Pretty sure I'm done after kid #2 but if we do have any more we will definitely be asking SSD to join us again.

After having a C-section with my first birth, I knew I wanted a doula for my second pregnancy. My first birth had felt like something that just happened to me, and this time, I wanted a different experience. When I went past my due date, Lauren gave me the reassurance and confidence I desperately needed. When I felt hopeless, she gave me hope. Her recommendations and introduction to Faith were invaluable in helping me go into labor. She held space for me to make my own decisions. She had the confidence and experience I needed as I prepared for a VBAC. During labor, she helped me move through different positions to encourage my baby's descent. She provided hands-on support and, when I needed it, tough love. I couldn't have asked for a better person to be there in the moments after the most empowering experience of my life. I am beyond grateful for Lauren. Without her support, I know I would have ended up with a repeat C-section. She helped me take back my birth, and for that, I will always be thankful.

From the moment I met her, she presented herself with a welcoming, kind, compassionate and calming presence. She truly listens and hears what your issues and concerns are! I had been diagnosed with a sprained rotator cuff, which was not only painful and limiting, but draining me of my energy! Although I love my primary care doc, his solution was to put me on heavy duty anti-inflammatory meds, which can be hard on your liver and have side-effects as well! I am not a stranger to acupuncture and was able to get an appt near where I live... I was fortunate enough to be seen by Laura.:) I had recently lost my husband, which Laura took into account with compassion, as well as my injury. I hope I am stating this correctly, but she explained that grieving can also contribute to the injury healing and that you hold grief in the left side of your body... the sprain is in my left side. Laura started with a 'clearing'... which I can only explain as "getting rid of my junk" ... I felt revived when leaving that day! I continued to see her for several more appts. I'm happy to say that my shoulder has improved 100% from when I had my first treatment, as well as other issues I had been having! Now for some gentle strengthening exercises. ;) I will continue to see Laura for monthly overall maintenance. I know there is more 'JUNK' to work on! ;) THANK YOU LAURA ROSE, you were, and are, a Godsend to me at a very difficult time in my life... Angels are watching over me! :)
