THRIVE INTEGRATIVE MEDICINE REVIEWS

Carmen is amazing! If we could see her every day, we would! Carmen is so caring, accommodating, and competent. I recommend her to anyone looking to relieve their stress.

My first consultation was excellent. I had acupuncture over ten years ago and it was very effective. I'm really looking forward to my next treatment.

Very attentive and competent. She gave me advice on exercises to do at home. I will definitely go back to see Liesje.

KAYAKALP ACUPUNCTURE REVIEWS

Dr. Deb is a true healer who is skilled, intuitive, careful, and kind. I appreciate the thoughtful listening and deep wisdom that she applies to my visits. As a result of the energy work and acupuncture I've received from her, I've experienced improvement with my symptoms. She also gives wise counsel for lifestyle choices to support my path of healing, and the herbal remedies that I have purchased in her office at her recommendation have been so helpful as well. Dr. Deb is deeply committed to her practice, and I feel so well-cared for by her.

Dr. Deb is a rare gem. She has helped me resolve numerous health issues over the years. With each appointment, I feel my energy levels rise and my overall well-being improve. I appreciate her wisdom and compassion. She is truly the BEST person on my healthcare team.

Dr. Deb is wonderful. She is a calming person, a compassionate caregiver, and she works with exceptional skill and expertise. She supported me through various situations, and I am grateful. After several months, I am finally healed and feeling much better. Thank you.

DR. MEL MCDONALD REVIEWS

The best treatment I’ve had in 30 years of having acupuncture. After breaking my foot, I developed neuropathy, and after a few sessions, I am feeling so much better and having less pain through the night. Don’t hesitate make your appointment today.

Dr. McDonald is very patient and conscientious. He takes the time to explain precisely what he is doing and how each acupuncture point is beneficial. I highly recommend him.

Dr. McDonald is incredible! A wise and skilled healer, without a doubt! Highly educated, of course, and incredibly humane: gentle and caring! A wonderful experience! I always feel so much better afterward.
