Rizzo Acupuncture

I am a Graduate student working on a PhD in molecular biology. When I was entering graduate school at the University of Florida I was dealing with some serious health concerns both physically and mentally – chronic insomnia, severe depression, anorexia nervosa, and more – and I was hitting a wall with traditional medicine. Every pill that fixed one thing exacerbated others. To make things worse, I am hard on my body — lack of sleep, long hours, inconsistent schedule, heavy exercise, long periods of sedentary activity, fluctuating diet, plenty of alcohol – your typical college student. My studies are demanding and I don’t have time to be sick. I was struggling. I had never had acupuncture before visiting Theresa, but was desperate for help. I found her brochure and business card; it spoke to my needs and I decided to give acupuncture a try. Theresa has helped me balance my extremes, moderate my excesses, and has generally kept me in good health and sanity through stress, life changes, and both simple and serious health issues. I’ve seen her weekly for over three years now. Acupuncture has become an absolute necessity for my physical, mental, and emotional wellbeing. When I miss appointments my body knows it and my performance suffers. The more I keep up with treatments and pay attention to her coaching, the better I succeed. She is a blessing to all aspects of my life, and I cannot recommend her enough.

I can’t recommend Theresa Rizzo highly enough! I have been going to her for acupuncture for almost a year, and I recently started taking my son as well. The atmosphere is so peaceful, relaxing, and comfortable. Most importantly, Theresa has a gentle, calm presence. She is trustworthy, accommodating, and holistic. She has helped me with several health concerns related to stress and anxiety, and she is the only professional who has ever been able to relieve my sinus headaches, which were severe before I started going to her. My son and I go once a week and plan to keep doing so. She is wonderful.

I was just looking at Ismael and thinking of all of that Eczema when he was a baby… and there’s just no trace of it now, masha allah. No eczema, asthma, nothing. Anyways, I just wanted to thank you for for your expertise and support–you introduced me to a whole new way to manage my family’s health. I am thoroughly convinced that had we addressed his skin issues in other ways we would never have truly healed what was wrong. And boy, do I know dampness and yin deficiency when I feel them coming on now Anyways, thanks again, take care, and enjoy your new home.
