Joie Jacala, EAMP, LAc is truly the best acupuncturist I have known. I advise to mark the experiences of your first appointment with Joie. Note the before, during, and after a treatment what you feels, see, taste, all senses that is different. I believe Joie intuitively opens up your Chi energy that is an internal 'Yes'...that can be used to guide like a compass. Tuning into this 'Yes Compass' has helped me stop sabotaging my healing and recovery. It helps me with my home care and emotionally/mentally/spiritually I know I am going in the right direction.
At my stage in life, everything seems wrong with me, but Joie listens and takes what I am experiencing and creates an acupuncture treatment that treats all my concerns. My ankles were aching, my knees had a sharp pain, my hips were aching too. I felt doom to suffer.like Humpty Dumpty. In one treatment after a few days my pain went from a sharp 10 to 2, it felt like a miracle.
In a second appointment, my legs looked and felt renewed.
