I've been seeing Eunice for over a year now for chronic pain in my entire body and it's safe to say that she is now a part of my weekly routine! I live a busy and active lifestyle and not only has she been able to help me manage my day to day life better, but she is so kind and always wants to help me find a solution to any type of pain or discomfort that I'm feeling.

I was run over by a car when I was six years old and have chronic pain from that. I had been feeling lost and discouraged when it came to my pain management, and have always been interested in acupuncture but didn

I highly recommend Eunice as an acupuncturist. She is extremely experienced and knowledgeable as I immediately felt comfortable in her care. She is especially skilled when it comes to fertility/prenatal care and I absolutely trust her recommendations. She knows the human body very well and is great with any back or neck pain you might be feeling. She is professional, kind, and is very responsive when it comes to trying to book appointments. I only wish I could see her more often!

Eunice is AMAZING! I couldn't have asked for a better acupuncturist (and I have seen several, as I have moved around a lot). She's super friendly, knowledgeable, and I always walk out of a session feeling like a brand new person. She listens to you carefully, remembers your previous issues and makes sure she addresses all (or most) issues in that session. Since moving away, I still drive 45 minutes just so I can continue to see her. Keep up the great work Eunice!

This review is regarding Eunice's labor induction service. I was 8 days past my due date and desperate to avoid a chemical induction. Eunice was kind enough to squeeze me in at the last minute so I had an evening appointment on a Tuesday (my induction was scheduled for that Friday). After my evening appointment I went home and did several squats, as Eunice suggested, but felt quite normal, just more relaxed. Later that night I woke up at 1:30 am because contractions had begun! At 12:41 pm Wednesday my son was born! He was healthy and beautiful, weighing 7 lbs 3.7 oz. :) My husband and I are

I started working with Eunice about 3 years ago to help me get pregnant...AND SHE DID!! When I started seeing Eunice, my FSH was 18 and my AMH was less than 0.16. She started treating me over the course of a year and after taking the herbs she recommended, my FSH had come down below 5 and I ended up becoming pregnant that same cycle. Eunice is very knowledgable about fertility issues and has a solid understanding of a woman's cycle and hormones. She is very professional, attentive, kind, thorough and compassionate. Throughout the course of our treatments, she took detailed notes, followed

Thank you Eunice for helping my low back pain.
The herbs she mixes also helped me get better after a nasty cold.
Eunice even saw me a day before her due date, while on maternity leave.
I needed more herbs and a treatment because I was sick with a bad cough.
Acupuncture really helps a number of medical issues.
I even fall asleep during treatments because they are so relaxing.

I have been seeing Eunice for more than 6 months-- I started before I began trying to conceive and continue to see her weekly through my first trimester. Eunice is a great source of information about fertility and pregnancy and pays close attention to all symptoms and concerns in a professional and caring manner. The office is beautiful, with calming music and little heaters for your feet while you are resting. I highly recommend Eunice to anyone interested in trying Acupuncture for fertility.

I saw both Joanna and Eunice throughout my pregnancy for treatments. Both ladies are fantastic skilled professionals. I believe very much in what they do and know that the are motivated by helping people. As far as pregnancy accupuncture goes I felt lucky to have found them and that they were so close to where I live. Subtract only one star because the climate control in their offices never felt right... sometimes the rooms were a little stuffy which made it hard to relax. Also scheduling was challenging sometimes because evening hours would have been more helpful but there were not a lot of options

A friend referred me to Eunice and I am so happy that she did.

I live a very high stress life and with it comes a variety of things: headaches, tension, insomnia, fibroids, a sense of fog, digestive issues, etc. that Eunice helped me work through. She is amazing! I remember sleeping through the night for the first time in a LONG time after my first session with her. It's as if she helped bring me back into balance. She even squeezed me in last minute after a back injury.

Eunice is very knowledgeable and skilled in what she does. She meets her patients where they are at with a compassionate

I first started seeing Eunice for my infertility issues about 3 years ago. Through the weekly treatments and herbs, we were finally able to get pregnant last year and now have a healthy 3 month old boy. During the pregnancy, Eunice treated my varicose veins, eczema, and various leg and back pains. She was very thorough in her knowledge and professional, listened well, and always encouraging through the difficult times. To top it off, my OB was pregnant at the time and also recommended her. I plan to go back to Eunice in the future and have recommended her to many of my friends!

I came to Eunice dejected after many failed infertility treatments. Not only did her extensive knowledge of acupuncture rejuvenate me on my journey, her positive and supportive attitude encouraged me along. Most of all she was realistic, offering no false hopes and requiring plenty of effort on my part, no free rides or miracle cures. I have a lot of respect for Eunice because of this. She is fast to laugh and of easy spirit which was of great help as well.

Through Eunice I gained a great appreciation for Eastern medicine; every visit was an education about the interconnectedness of the systems

My wife and I, under recommendation went to another acupuncturist and after about a year's worth of treatments was very skeptical about using acupuncture for fertility. But, after seeing Eunice, we can say that she is very attentive, takes the time to explain the process to you and about her diagnosis -- and today we are now past our first trimester. Her help along with others has gotten us to this point and we're soo grateful!!!!

I went to Eunice for a Labor Induction acupuncture treatment when I was several days past my pregnancy due date and trying to avoid having to do chemical induction at the hospital. Luckily, she was able to fit me in for an appointment later that day.

Eunice explained the procedure very thoroughly to me. There is some discomfort associated with this particular procedure (which apparently is not true of most acupuncture procedures), and Eunice was very good about making sure I was OK and respecting my limits.

Good news - I went into labor later that same night! I was past my due date, so

I must admit that I'm pretty new to Eastern medicinal techniques. I've struggled with tension headaches, stiff shoulders and general discomfort whenever I start training hard for outrigger paddling.

I came to Eunice on the recommendation of a friend. She is very professional and knowledgeable. The thing that I appreciated most was that she took the time to explain to me what exactly was going on with my body from an eastern perspective. I think she understands that her new patients might not necessarily buy into it, but that it's her job to help you understand so that you can make

Those of you who have had acupuncture before:
I'd really recommend going to see Eunice for your treatments

Those of you who haven't:
I was pretty skeptical before getting an acupuncture treatment- really really skeptical, but a friend persuaded me and so I tried it with a not-too open mind.

But shockingly enough, the treatment helped me the first time I went (knee & foot injury) so I've been back for other things, mostly my occasional migraines.

No, you don't really feel the needles, well, I didn't- Eunice is really good about that. I mean, I can tell they&apos
