I came to Janice as a referral from a trusted family chiropractor after an auto accident. I had failed at chiro and had never tried acupuncture previously. I was nervous and additionally had many other medical ailments, such as Fibromyalgia, CFS, & chronic inflammatory IBS. I had so many issues, it was hard to know where to start in the recovery process.
Janice has an incredibly calm and nurturing demeanor. In my opinion, what I would call a natural healer. She listened to my issues and was never dismissive of my questions or concerns. She was incredibly ‘soft-handed’ with her needle work and ensuring my comfortability. While she was attentive to helping me heal my back and spine from the auto injury, she ultimately looked at my body holistically and identified how everything was connected. She led me to find answers to other serious ailments like digestive disorders and severe abdominal cramping.
She made time to squeeze me in whenever I had the need, recommended herbs, remedies, exercises to do at home, dietary changes, and helped lead some blundering doctors in the right direction with my care. Without her help I would not have made it through the year and multiple hospitals stays and medical issues. She truly was my saving grace and hope!
We tried needling, palpating, cupping, and Moxie Wax burning (unsure I spelled that correctly). The cupping was my favorite for efficiency reasons until we tried the moxie wax. She was able to warm my steadily cold core enough to increase mobility, relieve pain, and get my digestive system going enough to gain an appetite. It felt like magic every time I left her table. I joke and tell ppl “I am like the tin-(wo)man and she oils and tunes me up and sends me on my way!”
Despite being nervous to try new things she kept me informed and help me with instructions to help recovery after. I recently moved away but if I could I would see her twice weekly, injured/ailing or not!
If you are looking for an acupuncturist who is soft handed, educated, intuitive, and a true healer, look no further. I recommend anyone post auto accident to come here!
