I have had acupuncture a few times from a few different acupuncturists previously, but this was something else.
Smriti did my treatment. She took the right amount of time to get to know me and my medical history before narrowing down something more specific to focus on for this session. She explained the process, answered questions, came up with a plan, and set a time for us to follow up.
The treatment itself was strangely relaxing. I had the needles in for a 30 minutes, but it felt like half that. Smriti covered me with a blanket and turned on a heat lamp, so it was pretty cozy. She also gave me a button to press and call her if I need anything while resting.
Their space felt like the perfect mix between clinic and spa, and that’s the perfect way to describe my treatment with Smriti at Lokahi. It was relaxing, warm, friendly, and, most importantly, effective. Acupuncture is a slow process, but I think I’m already noticing a bit of an improvement. I look forward to taking the herbs Smriti prescribes once they arrive. Thank you, Smriti!!
I recently had the pleasure of visiting Melissa Gelin for acupuncture treatment, and I cannot express how transformative this experience has been for my fibromyalgia. From the moment I walked into the clinic, I was greeted with warmth and professionalism, which immediately put me at ease. I was super nervous, in extreme pain and at my wits end.
Melissa took the time to listen to my history, concerns and thoroughly explained the treatment process. Her knowledge and expertise in pain management acupuncture were evident. She knew what to look for and exactly where to touch and feel. She was so gentle and had the best bedside manner.
After just a few sessions, I noticed a significant reduction in my pain levels and an overall improvement in my day to day well-being. The treatments not only alleviated my physical pain but also helped me to function day to day which is crucial for anyone dealing with fibromyalgia.
I highly recommend Melissa to anyone struggling with fibromyalgia or other chronic pain conditions. Her holistic approach and dedication to patient care have truly made a positive impact on my day to day life. Thank you, Melissa for your incredible work!
