“I found Lori through a search on the internet and before I came to see her, I was suffering from constipation, extreme abdominal pain, bloating, and rectal bleeding. I suffered for 5 years, visiting numerous doctors and specialists. They would prescribe medications, but were never able to give any diagnosis. Each new medication would work for about 2 weeks to a month and then taper off, leaving me feeling hopeless. My stomach caused me pain daily. I would often miss out on family events because I was in pain and uncomfortable. After my first acupuncture treatment I noticed less bloating and pain that evening. I began seeing Lori once a week initially and was thrilled with how great I started feeling. I began having regular bowel movements after only a few treatments. I was most thrilled with the decrease in the level of abdominal pain. The pain was almost completely gone within the first three treatments! Seeing Lori has truly changed my life. My stomach pain and constipation are no longer a factor in my life. I have also incorporated a healthier way of eating with outstanding recommendations from Lori. In addition to no longer suffering from constipation and the aliments that were combined with it, my energy level is outstanding. Many friends and family members have noticed the change in my appearance and energy. I could not be more pleased or give more thanks to Lori! I no longer need to take unnecessary medications. I would highly recommend Lori because she is determined, calming, encouraging, and extremely helpful. I look forward to my treatments, not because I am having episodes of my past symptoms, but because of how lively I feel after.”

“Before I came to see Lori, I was struggling with severe migraines, intense neck pain, and headaches on a daily basis. It was difficult struggling with pain management, I didn’t feel traditional Western Medicine was fulfilling my needs, I felt as if something was blocked, stagnant, and not flowing in my body. Through acupuncture treatment I feel as if the block has been released and can now feel the energy flowing freely through my body; I feel lighter, more fluid, and my stress levels have been reduced. I love acupuncture and recommend it to everyone. I highly, highly recommend Lori. Acupuncture has been a huge blessing, I look forward to every treatment, the sessions are very relaxing, uplifting, energizing, and helps me manage my pain, which in turn helps manage my life!”

“Prior to seeing Lori, I was struggling with peripheral neuropathy, lower back pain, knee pain, and stress. I felt frustrated, I would drop things all the time and my handwriting had been reduced to scribbling. After getting acupuncture treatment my knees stopped burning, the neuropathy improved, my lower back was better, however, the biggest surprise was that my irregular heartbeat that I had had for years completely went away! I had no idea that acupuncture could help for something like that. I feel wonderful with the improvements that I have made, I am back to riding my exercise bike for 50 minutes/day, before I was only able to ride for 5 minutes at best; my stress level is much lower. I would highly recommend Lori because she is so professional, knowledgeable, loving, and caring. I love the way she explains everything to me (about acupuncture), very interesting to know.”

“For three months my left hand was hurting while I played golf. I decided to give acupuncture a try and to my amazement, after three acupuncture treatments, I now play golf pain-free! I am very impressed, I never thought acupuncture would completely eliminate the pain; it has been 6 months and still no pain. I highly recommend Lori because she is professional, knowledgeable, caring, and has a unique approach to overall wellness.”

“I was struggling with a shoulder injury along with neck and back pain. I felt scared, lonely, depressed, and lost. After one acupuncture treatment I noticed less pain and I was able to relax better. Through acupuncture treatment, I now feel as if my life is on track where it is supposed to be, I am content, happy, and pain-free! I owe my well-being to Lori and her professional treatment. I would highly recommend Lori because she is honest, trustworthy, sincere, helpful, a good listener, calm, happy, and no doubt one of the best persons in my life!”

“I was experiencing extreme stress due to my mother’s declining health. From August through December I was on a plane every three weeks to northern California in order to take care of her after chemo treatments. At Christmas she came to visit me but wound up in the hospital and she has been there for the past 59 days and counting. It is very difficult making life or death decisions for the mother you love and seeing her deteriorate. I am in excellent health but I was just so tense and short tempered. Regular prayer, exercise, and yoga were helping but at times I just wanted to scream. After 1 acupuncture treatment, I felt better. After the second, I felt great relief. It was like someone lifted this great burden off of my heart. Lori performed magic. Her treatments took the edge off my stress and helped me feel calm and refreshed. I would highly recommend Lori because she truly has a gift. Not only is she professional, caring and very intelligent, but she listens to you before each session and determines what you need. She welcomes your input and then does an excellent job in targeting each individual problem or concern.”

“I was referred to Lori because of my neck pain and upper and lower back pain going on 2 months nonstop. I iced it, wore a back brace while I slept, took ibuprofen daily and did nothing really during that entire time just hoping to feel better. It hurt just to walk and was more severe at night when I tried to sleep. I tried chiropractic treatments and saw a back specialist during that time and they came to the conclusion that my low back pain dealt more with the piriformis muscle and sacroiliac joint. I have had issues with my neck for years, probably stemming from the stress of my job and the pain/tightness in my neck had become more of a ‘normal’ nuisance. I was feeling frustrated and feeling down wondering ‘when’ I would start to have some relief. I felt I was doing all I could and just needed a break from the constant pain. After my 1st acupuncture treatment with Lori, here’s what I noticed: The first couple of days, I felt about the same pain wise, but by the end of that week the pain became less severe. I was so happy about this, finally some relief! A few days after my second visit, I had periods of time with no pain! All of this just made me want to go back for more treatments. After the next treatment, I actually had a couple days of no pain in my low back. I am so thankful to see results so quickly and it has definitely given me a more positive outlook on life. I am now a true believer in acupuncture and am thinking of how I can incorporate it more in my health care needs. For me, it was like a drug that was making me feel better and I just wanted more! I would highly recommend Lori because she has such positive energy, she’s professional, she’s very intuitive, knowledgeable and kind. She listens and she truly cares. Thank you Lori!”

“My doctor recommended that I try acupuncture because for three years I was suffering from a lot of neck, back, and arm pain. I had anxiety at night and had a very hard time falling and staying asleep. I was angry and depressed because nothing was working. After eight acupuncture treatments my pain had been very much reduced, I noticed that the level of anxiety had also gone down; I was able to get more sleep. My outlook on life became more positive, I now wanted to be more active and not be in one room at all times. I felt happier and more energetic. I highly recommend Lori because she very positive and really cares about her patients. She is professional and very knowledgeable of her field. She’s kind and helpful, always addresses my issues and answers my questions about the process. It is a pleasure to be treated by her!”

“Three-and-a-half years ago I suffered a minor stroke at the age of 42. Everything changed for me that day, both physically and mentally. Even though from the outside no one could tell I had a stroke, inside I was struggling. I worked really hard to strengthen both my mind and body. Then a little over a year ago I started having pain in my right hip and lower back. I thought it was from working out too much. Nothing seemed to work – rest, chiropractic sessions, massage therapy, physical therapy, epidurals, pain meds, etc. Actually things seemed to be getting worse. After almost a year of trying to find out what my problem really was, I was diagnosed with a torn gluteus minimus, but by then my entire right leg had become so weak and the pain began to affect my groin, thigh and knee. Before my stroke, I was feeling the best I ever had it went downhill really fast from there. I was no longer able to workout, I started gaining weight and walking was becoming more and more difficult. Every doctor I saw didn’t seem to care. I was very disappointed that each doctor I saw only wanted to focus/treat one part of my problem, not the whole problem. Finally, after exhausting all other avenues one of my doctors suggested acupuncture. I must say I was skeptical but willing to try anything at that point. I know this is going to sound far fetched but I really did know after the first treatment that Lori was going to be able to help me on the road to recovery. First, she spent quite a long time talking to me, and then most importantly, she actually examined me and tested my abilities – or lack thereof. Most doctors I saw just asked me what my problem was, no one ever examined me. Then Lori started a treatment plan she thought best suited me. She didn’t just focus on one area of my problem, she treated my whole body. Each time I saw Lori she modified my treatment to how I was feeling then. After several acupuncture treatments, my range of motion, strength and endurance all have improved. Every time I leave a session with Lori I feel a little stronger; I can push myself physically harder every day. Most importantly, I am hopeful and more encouraged about the direction I am going. I recommend Lori because she is highly committed to her profession. She has a true passion for acupuncture and helping her patients. I read Lori’s profile online before I came to see her. I felt confident based on her education and philosophy that she was my best choice. What I didn’t realize is that she truly is a genuine person who cares about what she is doing. That is rare find in the healthcare profession these days. I tell everyone I know that Lori is the reason I am walking today, because 4 months ago I thought I wouldn’t be walking at all by this time. I am truly grateful to Lori and would, and do, highly recommend her.”

“Lori is by far the best acupuncturist. I have suffered from severe arthritis for over nine years. I came to Lori with terrible back pain. Within three sessions I was back in the dance and cardio classes that I love. Her treatments have made a tremendous difference in my life and were much more effective than physical therapy. No more back spasms and sleepless nights. My quality of life has greatly improved. Thank you so much!”

“Before I came to see Lori I had serious knee pain and couldn’t run or hike. I even had to cancel some of the hikes that I was leading, it was pretty dramatic. I felt extremely disappointed and frustrated, my favorite thing is hiking and running and now I could do neither. After one acupuncture treatment I noticed less pain and I wasn’t feeling the pain as much at night. After more sessions there was minimal pain during the day and after my last session I noticed a dramatic decrease in pain and I was able to hike the Grand Canyon two times! I was able to hike over 100 miles in two weeks carrying a heavy backpack and venturing over heavy terrain. I am so happy that I can do these things and I am able to get back into my regular lifestyle. I recommend Lori without question, especially for ailments that Western medicine may not be able to treat. Have an open mind to try alternative treatments; it can make a dramatic change in your life!”

“I had been battling migraines for the last 8 years, usually they were manageable, but over the last 12 months the headaches were increasing in pain and frequency, sometimes lasting 6-7 hours. During the migraines I felt helpless, the pain would take over my whole body and I wasn’t able to do anything. I reached a breaking point when I kept having to take time off of work. A co-worker suggested acupuncture and recommended Lori. After the first few treatments my migraines were greatly reduced and currently, I haven’t had a migraine in over 3 months!”
-Melissa
“My doctor referred me to Lori because I had lower back pain, atrophy of muscles, nerve pain, and loss of strength in legs and core. I felt helpless, frustrated, and sad. After four acupuncture treatments I noticed a drastic improvement in strength, there was less pain, inflammation had gone down, and I no longer needed to take pain medication. I am excited about the improvements, I am happier, healthier, stronger, and physically more free. I highly recommend Lori because she pays attention to detail and has a healing spirit.”
-Michelle
“I researched several acupuncturists online and decided to see Lori. Prior to acupuncture, I was put on medical restriction at work for carpal tunnel. After several acupuncture treatments I was able to stop taking the pain medication, no longer needed the wrist braces, and I was able to return to work full-time. The results were smooth and natural.”
-Dawn
“I first started seeing Lori for pain in my elbow that occurred after lifting weights. I was frustrated because the pain kept me from doing my regular workouts. After a few acupuncture treatments the pain was completely gone. Wow, I am glad I gave acupuncture a try!”

“Hello Lori, I want to extend a personal thank you to you for removing my severe back pain. I was in two automobile accidents over the past 15 years and have gone to many doctors during that period who said that they could help remove my continual back pain; unfortunately there were a few periods of partial relief from them but nothing permanent. After having a few of your acupuncture treatments that were totally painless, I have no more back pain! Thank you Lori; I appreciate, for your kind, gentle care to relieve a chronic disability that has kept me from having a happy normal life. I recommend you now to anyone who has any health difficulty. God Bless you Lori!!!”

“Lori is a caring, healing professional who has passion for her client’s well-being. Because of this passion I was able to have a quick and complete recovery of my severe shoulder injury and now am able to enjoy my life and recreational activities. I owe it all to Lori and her expertise.”

“I am an elite athlete and have been athletic my whole life. I pulled my calf muscle while running on the beach and could not run for several weeks. When I returned to running, my calf continued hurting and I could not run like I used to. This continued for about two months. Not exercising for me is like not having a car for two months and I felt very frustrated with the lack of freedom. My frustration got to a point that a friend of mine recommended acupuncture. So I decided to give it a try and scheduled a visit with Lori. Much to my surprise after a few treatments, my calf was completely healed and I am now able to run without pain. Thank you Lori, for giving me my freedom again!”

“I developed a weird medical condition called “Bell’s Palsy”. Being a 45 year old in excellent health this concerned me very much. The next day, I went to the western doctor and he prescribed anti-viral medication. The doctor told me the disease could last for 6 to 12 months! This motivated me to consider alternative treatment. A friend told me about the high success rate of acupuncture for Bell’s palsy. I contacted Lori and she began acupuncture treatment immediately. A week after the onset of Bell’s palsy, my western doctor was impressed how quickly I recovered. Not wanting to take any chances, I continued with both western medicine (medication) and eastern medicine (acupuncture). After 2 weeks, I was 90% healed and within 3 weeks, completely recovered. I’m very happy I tried both western and eastern medicine and took no chances. Thanks Lori!”
