September marks the beginning of the school year, the start of fall, and the start of cold and flu season. With kids being back in school, the whole family is susceptible to getting sick, and more often.

In western medicine, there is no cure. Just good lifestyle choices such as rest, hydration, add a dose of cold or flu medicine like Nyquil or Dayquil on top of it and wait it out. There is nothing worse than being sick with the crud. It is exhausting, it feels rotten, and recovering seems to take forever. Getting a cold or flu is inconvenient for our busy lives, and everyone would agree that they would be better off without it!

I started to see Christine at the lowest point in my life as I was dealing with Chronic Lyme Disease and could no longer work.  (I tried acupuncture a year or two earlier with a different person but did not feel comfortable with it.)

My experience with Christine has been so overwhelmingly positive that it is difficult to describe how much she has helped me.  First of all, her training and background help to give her a wide range of knowledge that she is able to share in a very gently and caring way.  Over the past 8 months, I have felt that she has been a special angel that is there to listen to me and that she truly cares about my progress as she has worked to help me.

Treatment for Chronic Lyme Disease involves long term use of several strong doses of antibiotics everyday, which in itself is not easy on the body.  Christine's knowledge and kindness have made my treatments so much easier, and I am much stronger and able to enjoy my family and friends so much more than I was when I first walked into Christine's office.

I have highly recommended Christine's services to my friends.  Christine provides an exceptional acupuncture service for a wide variety of needs and she does this in a way that allows the patient to feel safe and comfortable.  She has been a "miracle worker" in my life and I am very grateful to her for all that she has done to help me.

Thanks Christine for all the ways that you are helping me to continue to heal!

Are you thinking of having a bundle of joy any time soon? If so, it is important to take care of yourself now so that you and baby are healthy and happy! Many times, people come off their birth control pills/patch/ring expecting to conceive right away. If not then, then at least in the few months that follow. Some women are fortunate enough to have no issues making the transition from hormonal birth control to doing everything on their own smoothly and soundly. Others however need a little more adjustment time. This is actually an important time to have because bringing your body into balance sometimes takes time.

I had gestational diabetes and my doctor wanted to induce me a week before my actual due date. I didn't want to be medically induced if I didn't have to. At 38 weeks, the doctor had given me the okay to hopefully go into labor before being induced, so that's when I saw Christine. She did acupuncture on me to help begin the labor process. Literally, one hour after she finished the acupuncture, my water broke and I was on my way to the hospital. I loved the fact that even though she was able to help force my body to begin the labor process, it was still all natural! It was an excellent experience and I would definitely recommend anyone to see her, especially if you have a similar situation! I would do it again in a heartbeat!
