Cara Jolly is excellent (and I have seen many acupuncturists). When I first came to Cara I was struggling with anxiety and constant headaches. Stress from work and living in a busy city had got the better of me and I wasn't able to get my energy and strength back no matter what I did. I felt like I was just barely making it through each day.
Working with Cara very quickly alleviated my headaches and helped reduce my anxiety. I feel strong and healthy again and am back to doing things I loved with more energy and enthusiasm. Cara is caring and thoughtful, she really listened to me and provided a relaxing and restful place for me to get the healing I needed. If you are considering acupuncture or looking for someone new to try, Cara is truly one of the best.
The quick version: Cara is absolutely the best! She is someone who genuinely cares about your physical and mental well being. A fantastic choice for acupuncture veterans and newbies alike.
Cara and the entire wellness center staff are very warm and helpful; always ready and willing to answer any questions and accommodate your needs as best they can. Excellent communication via e-mail/phone/text, with quick responses to appointment, session-specific and general questions. On top of that, GenerateShen accepts most insurances and works diligently with them to keep things on your end no-fuss and hassle free.
Cara is personable and professional, combining a welcoming attitude with a wealth of knowledge and exceptional attention to detail. She is very precise with questions to see how you are doing physically and mentally since your last session - or how you are doing in general/what goals you might have if it is your first visit. It's great to have these honest moments as it is further evidence of how much she cares, plus it demonstrates how any given treatment is going to be tailored to you and your needs.
Sessions are exactly as relaxing as you would hope - appropriate background music to help you focus and help drown out any outside noise (which has never been a problem during my visits) and no interruptions save for one check in to make sure you're comfortable and/or to place additional needles.
