Therese is by far the best acupuncturist I’ve found. She is so talented and experienced, I am always in awe at how quickly she diagnoses and treats my issues. Therese is an expert in women’s health regarding fertility, pregnancy and postpartum as well. She does treat all people, men, women and children alike. She uses Chinese herbal medicine along side her needling and it is just amazing.
I had never received acupuncture before Therese and have since been to other providers (when Therese was on leave) but will always be loyal to Therese because her technique and expertise are hard to match. Obviously I can’t say enough good things. You will not be disappointed with her!
I've been going to Therese for Acupuncture for about 2 years now. I had never seen an Acupuncturist before and just wanted to try it out to see if it was something I should recommend to my patients. I now have no doubts to the usefulness of acupuncture and continue to be amazed at the expanding effects of the treatments. Therese truly knows her trade and is always positive, caring, and gentle with her treatments and I am so thankful I went to her first!
Therese is AWESOME!!!!! This was my first experience with acupuncture. I had some tendinitis in my shoulder from rock climbing that I was afraid was going to keep me out of action for a few months. The pain was intense enough that I thought I might need surgery. Therese was very thorough and took the time to explain the process and what her expectations would be for my treatment. She estimated that I would need 3-5 sessions before I started to feel good as new. I had 4 sessions over a 2.5 week period and am back to climbing at full strength. I'm guessing that acupuncture accelerated the healing process by at least 3-4 weeks. I would highly recommend her for anyone dealing with soft tissue pain/soreness.
I’m a local midwife and am always sending my clients to Terese! Very great care and awesome results. Not to mention her loving and kind personality!
I felt as if I was being truly cared for.
Did you know that in California, acupuncture students must complete a minimum of 3,000 hours of education? This extensive training encompasses topics such as acupuncture techniques, herbal medicine, and biomedicine. Such comprehensive preparation not only equips practitioners to excel in the state board exam but also empowers them to deliver high-quality, effective care to their patients.
