“I have experienced several sessions of acupuncture. I can honestly say I am now a fan! I have found relief in a shoulder that had given me issues. When my sessions are over I feel relaxed and a sense of well being. I initially had reservations about the needles, but through education, patience and understanding, Michelle helped me to feel at ease with the whole process. It ended up being a great experience! I would highly recommend my closest family and friends. I have confidence in Michelle’s extensive skills and I know my loved ones would be treated with the utmost respect and professionalism.”

“I am healed and thriving and attribute a large part of it to Michelle Iwama! 

After 9 months of excruciating pain, a misdiagnosis, a failed outpatient surgical procedure, and being told a major surgery was my only option, I knew there had to be some other alternative to get my chronic anal fissure healed…I still took a subscribed topical treatment and had a doctor monitor my progress, but most importantly I had to slow down and prioritize me and my healing…

I started acupuncture in so much pain that I wasn’t sure if I would be able to get through the sessions, much less even begin them. I pushed through and stuck with it because even after the first session, I believed it was working inside me. It sometimes felt like a long journey (nothing compared to where I had been), but after 3 months of consistency, I was pain free and physically healed (the doctor said, “I don’t even see it anymore”)! That is the short story, but the more important part, the real journey was realizing how disconnected my whole being was. The amount of mental and emotional trauma I had also been through for 9 months was something no doctor was treating and the anxiety, even depression that I was “pushing through” was such a huge part of healing, not only my fissure, but my whole being. The outcome from acupuncture and Michelle’s guidance is where the real healing and life change happened…”
