I chose to try Acupuncture after Western Medicine was not giving me options I felt would be beneficial in healing my body. For the last two years I was dealing with a constant and painful backache before my cycles. Along with the backache came nausea. The options given to me were to just cope with the discomfort or try a lower dose of birth control. After five years I decided to go off the birth control and needed to regulate my cycles once again. Along with these concerns I was dealing with having to go through a break up and was unable to eat, sleep or deal well emotionally. I felt for me the first thing was to try some bodywork. My body had to cope with too many stressors at one time. After meeting and receiving a pulse reading from Andrew at the Farmers Market, I decided to explore the idea of Acupuncture. From that brief meeting he was able to assess that my eating, sleeping and emotional patterns were not healthy and completely off balance. The hardest part in allowing yourself to heal is the obstacle of finding someone you feel comfortable with, that they are listening to your concerns and that they will work with you. After that first assessment I felt open to trying Acupuncture, Andrew was able to make me feel at ease as well as explain clearly how he made his reading. We first dealt with balancing out the emotional aspect, and the two together, acupuncture and herbs first helped eliminate the dreams that were keeping me from sleeping. It also helped calm my body (heart) and my mind so that sleep would come. I went once a week for treatments for about three months. Each session we would check in to see how the herbs had worked and whether he needed to change anything. With the weekly acupuncture and herb treatments, after three months I felt myself balancing out emotionally. I was able to sleep and no longer having the dreams. My cycle became regular which in turn helped the emotional aspect. I am no longer dealing with the backache and nausea. I believe all these things aggravated the other symptoms but my body really responded well to healing holistically. I appreciate Andrew’s ability to connect to me as a person and not just see the health problem(s).
Thank you…
Sincerely,
