Meet Rachel

"A true healer, Rachel practices her scholarly knowledge of Chinese medicine with compassion and wisdom. She is an expert diagnostician, carefully observing and listening to every detail. Her treatments are gentle, yet very effective. I always leave feeling amazing, and the good effects of her treatments last for days. Highly recommended."

"This has been my first time taking acupuncture, and I just can say thanks for the benefit and thanks to Rachel who has helped me to get better. I had a really bad lower pain and was up to the point I barely could walk. A friend of mine recommend to take acupuncture treatment, and nowadays I feel 90% better of how I was, and I still keep taking this great treatment. Thanks!"

"We started going to acupuncture because we were having fertility problems. Under Rachel's care we fell pregnant. I continued to see her throughout the pregnancy. Our son is happy and healthy and I know she was a big part of that. She is naturally gifted and very skilled therapist and just knows the right thing to say or do to make you feel better. I always look forward to my weekly treatments and chats with her. She is awesome!"
