Patient Testimonials
Real experiences from patients whose lives have been changed by acupuncture.
"A relationship with a medical provider should be a sacred one, built upon an intimate understanding of one's condition, quality of life and goals for care."
Many of Monique's clients are living better today, in large part due to the personal attention she has provided, along with her extensive education and training. A few of them have agreed to share their experiences under her care.
While testimonials can attest to a provider's competency in the context of specific patients, they should not be the sole basis for approaching a provider for care. Monique wants you to be 100 percent confident that acupuncture will provide you with the quality of life you desire. She welcomes your queries.
I'm afraid of needles. I always have been. A wonderfully enlightening conversation with Monique informed me that acupuncture uses thin needles that you can barely feel. I have had numerous treatments from her for various conditions, such as a cold, discomfort in my foot, and severe stress. I'm happy to report that everything is going well for me … and with her help, we plan to keep it that way.
I am currently 34 weeks' pregnant. Things are going well and the baby is doing great! I never thought I'd get to this point with my history of miscarriages, but acupuncture really helped relax me and balance my body, which I believe played a big part in how successful this pregnancy is! Thanks so much for all of your help!
I was 38 years old when I was diagnosed with severe and irregular vaginal bleeding due to stress. I struggled with the condition for close to a year. At one point, my OB/GYN's suggestions all led to sterilization. I went looking for other options — this is when I decided to do acupuncture. After my acupuncturist gave me Chinese herbs and treatment, my condition in a matter of months disappeared. Close to the third month after treatment, we found out that we were expecting our first child. Our baby is due in a few weeks and to us it's an unbelievable, blissful miracle.
I am a professional athlete recovering from knee surgery. Acupuncture increased my mobility and reduced the swelling and pain in my knee, speeding my return to work. I also suffer from neuroma — a pinched nerve in my foot. I was told that surgery was my only remaining option. After trying a few sessions of acupuncture, surgery is no longer an option for me, since I am pain-free. My headaches are less frequent and less intense. I feel much more balanced and energetic after treatment.
Really great news! My FSH dropped from 74.6 to 13.7 and my LH dropped from 44 to 10.3. My OB/GYN said these are AMAZING results from where they were. They also put me into normal ovulation range. This is all thanks to you! Thank you for working with me!
Under her care, Monique listens to you attentively, patiently, without judgment, and treats you with respect and honesty — not as a number to be processed, but as a person, a whole person. With aplomb, Monique treated me for chronic muscular-skeletal issues, and not only successfully addressed the immediate concerns but with subtle, profoundly moving techniques helped me come face-to-face with myself, enabling me to see the deeper underlying emotional basis of trauma. To regain strength, regain self, to be renewed … once again.
I approached Monique out of desperation due to a bad case of Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, which was hindering my chances of conceiving. I was very apprehensive as I am not a fan of needles, but immediately felt at ease when I met Monique. Within four months of starting treatment, my periods were regular and much less painful. I was overjoyed to have a positive test result on our first attempt. I never thought I'd say this, but I really enjoy my sessions as they totally relax me and make me feel wonderful. I would also like to announce, as I write this letter, that I am six months' pregnant.
It had been six months since my last OBGYN appointment, and I was still suffering from an ovarian cyst. After months of uncertainty, pain and disappointment, I decided to try acupuncture as a last resort. After the very first session, I began sleeping through the night, every night. Within four weeks, my menstrual cycles had returned to their normal 28-day cycle. Within three months, I was ovulating normally again. An ultrasound revealed that the cyst was gone. Acupuncture has been a miracle for me and has changed my life.
I have had lower back pains for many years now and have tried chiropractor treatments for a long time, but still had pain in my back. I heard about other people trying acupuncture for stress and pain relief, so I had my first treatment last year with Monique. I was amazed how fast the treatment helped reduce my back pain after just one treatment. I would definitely recommend Monique for acupuncture treatments.
