I have seen other providers for acupuncture but Laura is by far the best. She is very gifted. The first session, I felt a weight lifted off my shoulders and a sense of relief that I haven’t felt in months. She’s also very personable and knowledgeable about mental health and pain. Love to come see her. My new favorite place!

Laura does great work and knows what she is doing. I enjoy going and our conversations. I’ve experienced pain monthly and so far coming here and following her regimen after 1 month has lessened the pain.

I’m so grateful to Laura for the care she has provided to my mom. After having lumbar surgery, my mom continued to experience pain in her back and foot. Instead of relying on pain medication, we decided to try acupuncture with Laura, and we have been very pleased with the results. Since starting her treatments, my mom’s pain has significantly decreased, and she is feeling more comfortable and able to get through her daily activities more easily. Laura is caring, patient, and professional, and she truly takes the time to understand her patients and their needs. We are very thankful for her help and would highly recommend Laura to anyone considering acupuncture for pain management.

This is my first time working with a civilian acupuncturist after trying so many different things to manage my adhesive arachnoiditis pain, migraines, and the other discomforts I’ve dealt with since a rollover accident during my time in the Army. I honestly didn’t know what to expect when I first met Laura. I was scared, triggered, and just plain tired of being in pain. My whole body felt inflamed, and I was at the point where I couldn’t even tell what hurt anymore because EVERYTHING hurt. That was seven sessions ago. Today, I walked into my appointment and realized I could actually tell where my pain was because there were parts of my body that felt relaxed. That might sound small, but for me, I’ve been in chronic pain for years, more than I could remember not being in pain and that is HUGE. After my second session, I started doing yoga again three times a week. After my third session, I did a speed-walking race with my teen. I’m not saying acupuncture magically fixed everything, because it hasn’t. But I am saying I’m moving more, doing more, and feeling more connected to my body again. Laura… THANK YOU. You have such a gift with your hands and your energy. ❤️ The sessions are also kind of like the therapy session I didn’t know I needed. 😂 The first time, I was actually nervous because I thought, Wait… are we just going to talk this whole time? But Laura spent about 30 minutes talking with me, listening, and assessing what was going on before we even got to the needles. Then I spent about 30 minutes on the acupuncture table including what I think is called electroacupuncture it’s kind of like a TENS unit, but the stimulation is connected to the acupuncture needles. Deep tissue massage couldn’t even get that deep! And then I thought we were done. Nope. 😂 She also does manual manipulation afterward, and it feels like a massage but honestly, better. It helps release so much of the tension and stress I’ve been carrying in my body. Seven sessions in, I can genuinely say I’m grateful I gave this a chance. Laura, thank you for your patience, your attentiveness, your gifted hands, and for creating a space where I feel heard. You’re helping me get pieces of my life back and move more freely and that means more to me than I can really put into words. ❤️

Laura is very compassionate and professional. After calling several acupuncturists when experiencing a migraine and bum shoulder for days with no relief from medicine, she was the only one to call me back. She saw me the next day. I felt immediate relief. I’ve done acupuncture, body work, and salt therapy…all have done wonders for me. Best part…she accepted my health insurance.

This accupuncture clinic is great. The pain in my ankles and knees has decreased. The accupuncture technique has relieved multiple symptoms of my illness such as being nauseous and sleeping better. And the hours are very convenient for my schedule. I would highly recommend.
