“For years, I had tried various routes (chiropractors, physical therapists, etc) to quell my back pain and nothing seemed to work. Though I was skeptical about acupuncture, I was desperate for relief.
Within two weeks of visiting Bethany, I noticed a significant difference in my pain. A year later, I no longer have chronic back pain.
She was also able to successfully treat other ailments from stress and PMS to jaw pain and allergies. If anyone is apprehensive about acupuncture, I would say that Bethany can put those fears to rest. Bethany is highly-skilled, professional and to boot, extremely personable. Bethany's treatments truly changed my well-being for the better!”

"Bethany's calm, upbeat demeanor helped me through a hard year of trying to conceive. Each week I would look forward to my acupuncture treatments and discussions with her. Everything helped to calm me and helped me stay positive, and best of all after only two months of treatments with her, I became pregnant...and I'm now a mom!"
