I miss getting acupuncture done by Hannah.. Sadly had to move from Gainesville after my beloved dog Marlo 🐕 passed away for my emotional health. When I come back to visit I will definitely come back. Highly recommend!!

I went in skeptical that acupuncture would work for me, but it ended up working extremely well. I’d been dealing with hip issues while lifting, and after a few sessions I felt noticeably better and was able to keep progressing in my training.

Hannah has been a very important part of my recovery. She asks plenty of questions to figure out the cause of your pain and exactly how to treat it. I had agonizing shoulder pain and limited mobility. After a handful of sessions and relentless research by her, I finally am close to being pain free. She took the time…

I just started going to Hannah last week for a case of Morton's Neuroma (foot/toe). I went to a local podiatrist that left me with complete lack of luster and no direction on a solution other than a cortisone shot that did not work. I immediately felt confident in Hannah's level of knowledge and ability to listen. I feel so much better already and it has only been one visit. She did not just explain the physiology, but we got down to the "why" this happening. I went in not wanting another bandaid, but a solution to the problem as a whole. I highly recommend her. I have to add that Hannah has great energy and her office is welcoming and warm with lots of light. This is functional medicine.

Hannah really does magic and I have never had an acupuncture experience like this before. Can’t recommend her enough.

I found this practice as my last resort before giving up and settling for surgery. My advice to anyone would be to instead use Hannah as first line treatment post-injury. She is so skilled and so knowledgeable. Her office is a welcoming and cleanly environment. She's attentive and flexible, and I couldn't be more grateful that I found her practice for treatment of my "low grade" chronic ankle tendon tears. It sure didn't feel low grade, but that's what my doctor said. I sprained both of my ankles 3 years ago and they never got better. The swelling never went away, I could feel the pain even in my dreams. I trained hard to be able to finally survive stepping into the bathtub, but stepping off curbs or around tree roots and other uneven terrain was still dicey. I stoped taking ibuprofen or Tylenol because there was no point, they couldn't touch the pain. Physical therapy, diuretics, capsaicin cream, ice baths, shockwave, heating pads, steroids, shoe inserts, barefoot shoes, collagen, calcium, increasing my activity, decreasing my activity. I tried everything for 3 years. My first accupuncture appointment was almost 6 weeks ago and I'm almost pain free today. But even just the first appointment noticably reduced the stiffness and instability in both ankles. The past 3 years of constant pain feel like they happened to someone else, like it was just a bad dream. I can't believe that was me and I was living like that, when the right treatment option for my sprain was right around the corner. I wish I had done it sooner!

Hannah has been a very important part of my recovery. She asks plenty of questions to figure out the cause of your pain and exactly how to treat it. I had agonizing shoulder pain and limited mobility. After a handful of sessions and relentless research by her, I finally am close to being pain free. She took the time to discuss my treatment with my massage therapist so they both could figure out the best treatment for me. Hannah is amazing at her profession and she genuinely cares about how your pain is affecting you, both physically and emotionally. She has really helped me in my recovery and I couldn't recommend her more. She's definitely a 10⭐️ rating.

I’ve been getting treatment from Hannah for a little over two months and she is noting but amazing. She listens effectively, explains exactly what is happening and it doesn’t just feel like my physical body is getting treatment but also my spiritual body. I go into her office feeling heavy and I leave feeling light and pain free ready to attack my workouts and life. With that being said, a 2x Olympian definitely recommends working with her.

I have a very physical job in auto detailing, and over the years I’ve relied heavily on massages and chiropractic care to keep my body going but after trying acupuncture with Hannah, I can confidently say I’ve never felt this good from any other type of treatment. The difference in how my body feels after sessions with her is night and day. She’s incredibly skilled, and I’ve noticed significant relief in areas that nothing else seemed to fully address. I’m genuinely happy with how my body has responded to her treatments, and I always leave feeling more balanced, relaxed, and pain-free. If you’re dealing with any aches, pains, or just need relief from a physically demanding lifestyle, I highly recommend giving Hannah a try. She’s the real deal!
