After being interested in, yet apprehensive of, acupuncture for a long time I’m so happy and grateful I was introduced to Rose. She is one of the kindest, most intuitive, patient and caring people I have ever met. Not only did she make me feel extremely comfortable and willing to come in, I fell asleep during the first session. I wasn’t super nervous about coming in, but I wasn’t very comfortable or, more accurately, wasn’t overly optimistic of the benefits. I couldn’t have been more wrong in my preconceptions of what I would get out this experience. I came in with a laundry list of things I needed to work on. Rose listened to and knew how to approach treatment for all those issues (some of which I have done extensive testing, etc on through the practices/philosophy of western medicine with no benefits - hence my initial pessimism). In just 3 sessions, Rose has worked wonders. I do hot tub service and lug stuff around around all day. And I follow that up by hunching over a desk for way too long each week to do art. It’s not an exaggeration to say that Rose has me on a path that I truly believe can be life changing. Since I’ve been seeing her, my pain (shoulder, back and neck) has become way more manageable if not non existent: and my patience, energy, focus and concentration have drastically improved - directly benefiting my business in ways I never imagined. I was very focused and driven in growing the business and lately was experiencing some feelings of being overwhelmed and honestly lethargic (burnt out I guess) which is out of character for me, as I’ve always been so high energy and active. I can’t thank, or recommend, Rose enough, she has truly gotten me back on the path of feeling more like myself than I had in the last few years.
