I just wanted to send you an email telling you what a BIG difference our sessions have made in my life! I can do all my usual physical therapy exercises again, walk fast for extended duration and almost feel entirely normal and strong. I'm sure that I wouldn't be feeling this way if it hadn't been for our acupuncture sessions!

Midgie is just amazing... I love how she starts each session with a "check-in" to see how I have been feeling since my last appointment-what new ailments I may have and how I have been feeling. I was nervous before my first appointment with her as I never seen an acupuncturist before, but she completely explained her process and respected and acknowledged some of my fears and concerns. She is a blessing and I feel Amazing after a session of cupping! Thank you Midgie for making me feel so much better!

I went to see Midgie with really bad neck pain. She did points where I needed them. I was relaxed (which is hard to get me to do). She explained everything. When she was done I immediately had improvement in my range of motion and pain level. I can't wait to go back for another treatment. If you have never had acupuncture or have had it in the past I highly recommend going to see her it is a whole new experience!
