Acupuncture here is LIFE-CHANGING!! Jen Stang is a true professional, extremely knowledgeable in…read morethis science and very gentle. I experienced constant back pain for about 10 years after having my second child. I was so tired of it that I finally had an MRI done last year to see what was wrong. The doctor told me there was nothing there, so his prognosis was that the pain was muscular. Consequently, I decided to go see Jen at Body Evolution Acupuncture and Wellness for some help. After only ONE visit, my back stopped hurting. This was the first time in 10 years I didn't' have back pain and it was a result of Jen's great care. I highly recommend this to anyone suffering from chronic back pain. Like I said, it's life-changing.

Jen is amazing at what she does, and she's an awesome person too. I've been seeing her for about a…read moreyear now (maybe more?), even though the issues I originally came to see her about have been resolved for a long time! I'm a runner, and after doing a half-marathon a few years ago, I developed persistent ankle pain in one side that wouldn't go away. I went to a doctor, had an MRI, did physical therapy for a while, saw a chiropractor for around 6 months, and tried all sorts of insoles, but it just wouldn't go away or even improve. I had pretty much given up when a friend and fellow runner recommended Jen. She'd gone to Jen for plantar fascitis and had gotten immediate relief. I had done traditional acupuncture once before (just to try it; not for any sort of physical issue), and while it was nice, I didn't really experience any noticeable effects. So I couldn't imagine it would help with ankle pain, especially when nothing else had. But I hadn't tried the style of acupuncture Jen did for my friend, so I figured I had nothing to lose here. Jen immediately made me comfortable and listened to my issues, then talked me through what she was going to try. She focused on releasing my tight calf muscles, and the sensation was totally weird but not painful at all (like a brief, fluttery muscle spasm, and after the session my muscles were sore, as if I'd worked them out). After enduring things like deep muscle stripping (which left me bruised for days) to trigger point therapy massage (AKA extended torture), I was really relieved at how easy and even relaxing this was. After two sessions, I went on vacation. One evening, after I'd gone for a morning run and then walked around the city all day in crappy sandals, I realized that my ankle wasn't bothering me. At all. This was the first time since the pain began that I hadn't felt it after a run or after a day on my feet (not to mention BOTH). I couldn't believe it, but this was the first and only thing that worked. Like, at all. I've since kept seeing Jen to maintain my happy ankles (the persistent pain has never come back!) and also to address other issues, from wrist pain to allergies to neck cramps. I always look forward to my appointments, and I leave completely relaxed and feel real improvement in whatever we worked on every time. Not to mention that I always enjoy seeing Jen and chatting with her--she is such a sweet, funny, genuine person. You won't find better! Acupuncture has become something I really rely on to maintain my overall health now, and it's 100% thanks to Jen.

Dr. Cass is willing to meet you where you are and figure out how to help you achieve holistic wellness through various therapies, herbs, and energy work. There are not many practitioners out there with as much knowledge and expertise as Dr. Cass has who are also willing to sit and share it with you. How often do you see a medical practitioner who takes their time to help you to understand how and why they are determining and caring out your course of treatment? Hearing Dr. Cass explain the treatment and possible root causes for the symptoms I am experiencing should count as sound therapy, because she calms my anxiety as she teaches me about my healing journey. I'm a huge nerd who loves learning new things, so I ask lots of questions. Dr. Cass is always happy to answer any of my questions fully, which is atypical in my experience with many other medical professionals. I can say a lot of nice things about Dr. Cass, but you also have to know how effective the treatments are! I spent 3 days in the hospital recently and left feeling just as bad as when I went. A couple days later I got in to see Dr. Cass for acupuncture, cupping, and energy work and left feeling better than when I came. My symptoms began improving immediately and my spirit felt nourished. My mood improved and my anxiety decreased as well. I can't wait to delve further into the various treatments Dr. Cass offers and you should too!

After seeing the remarkable changes in coworkers around me, I finally got on the wait list and man am I grateful that I did. Lyndsay has transformed my mind, body, and soul. The best part, this is not your average Acupuncture practice, where someone comes in, puts a bunch of needles in you and leaves then comes back 30 min later and you're done. I've been to many of those practices around town, with ZERO results. Lyndsay starts each session by understanding what is going on with you not only physically, but emotionally. She is with you the entire treatment, reading pulses to understand where blockages are formed and then works to open them up. Every single detail is thought through and explained. From the first treatment till a year and a half later, I walk out feeling like a new human. My stress levels, on average, are through the roof, my shoulder, back, hip pain constant, hot flashes, psoriasis, you name it, all manageable now thanks to her and this practice. There is no way to vocalize the feeling you get after treatment, it's like a rebirth, I kid you not...you walk out feeling superhuman. If you are looking for someone to help all things you, this is the place. Five Element Austin transformers mind, body, and souls. You will NOT be disappointed.

I am sold!! Especially for any sort of emotional, energetic, or creative blockages or imbalance. This is your place, Beverly is definitely your gal!!
