“I would have never volunteered for acupuncture. It just didn’t sound like a fun way to spend the afternoon. Well, I have never been so very wrong in my life!

I have had anxiety issues and even at a young age, had trouble sleeping. Then I got very sick and had ups and downs with doctors and medications. It looked like I was still getting worse and I thought I’d give something different a try. Something different meant sessions with Rachel.

Rachel asked questions, did her exam, and we began our first treatment. She was very good at making sure I was comfortable the whole time and I felt such relief after my first session. It was incredible! Each treatment since has brought new life into my body – I now look forward to and cannot wait until my next session.

So far I have brought in my husband, mother and mother-in-law for treatments and all of them cannot say enough positive things about Rachel and her talent.”

“Rachel’s treatment has helped me managed the jaw, shoulder, and neck pain associated with TMJ better than any other medical professional I consulted. She thoroughly investigated all aspects of my health history and took into account my physical and emotional state in order to treat me fully. Acupuncture has really improved my quality of life, and Rachel’s care is top-notch. I always leave her office feeling so much better; relaxed, centered, and pain-free.”

“In the fall I suffered from mild numbness and loss of strength in my left arm. The severity of these symptoms increased over the course of a week and was so painful that I actually thought that I was having a heart attack. In the hospital emergency room they quickly determined that my heart was fine but could not pinpoint the cause of the excruciating pain. Morphine, steroids and all the other muscle relaxant drugs did not have any lasting effect on relieving my pain.

I was referred to Rachel. From the very first treatment I experienced measurable relief. I had not been able to sleep for weeks. I have to say that the treatment offered me relief and my muscles finally relaxed.

It has been a long road of healing and Rachel has been a blessing to me. Her determination to find the spot, her candor in answering questions and her assurances that this will get better kept me going through the worst part of my journey. Rachel, thank you! If I were there I would give you a big hug.”

“Rachel doesn’t treat me the same way every appointment. She listens to how I feel then customizes each treatment to fit my needs. If I came in experiencing pain, she would focus on providing me with relief. If I felt really great on a day of treatment – she used that time to focus on overall wellness and prevention towards future headaches.

Rachel truly gave me my life back. Before I came into Health on Point, my migraines controlled my life. I missed out on great things and important events because I was stuck at home, bedridden with nauseating pain. Come see what Rachel can offer for you – you will not be disappointed!”

“Since I was a teenager, I’ve had horrible, debilitating PMS. From the classic mood swings and cramping, to bouts of deep depression. Until recently, the ‘solution’ was to be on birth control pills. Now that I’m married and am thinking about starting a family of my own, I recognize that the pill has just been a band-aid fix, and that I needed a therapy that would get to the root of the issue. Working with Rachel has been just that. Her patience, empathy and depth of knowledge regarding women’s health continues to amaze me. She’s also worked with my husband (he was quite doubtful in the beginning!) and he too sings her praises. I am now at a point where acupuncture is necessary only as a ‘tune up’ for my body. I only wish I’d called Rachel sooner!”

“I tell my friends that Rachel and her acupuncture changed my life! I had been dealing with the hot flashes of menopause for two years with my primary physician but I was still miserable. I didn’t want to go the route of hormone replacement therapy, so I decided to see if acupuncture would help me. I felt better the evening of my first acupuncture treatment!

Now, acupuncture is my first approach, not a last resort, when I feel out of balance. I’ve seen Rachel for my hot flashes, headaches and overall wellness. I’m never disappointed and always head home feeling better than when I arrived. Rachel is caring, compassionate and a master with her skills.

She understands and appreciates Western medicine, yet she is there with several alternative therapies at her disposal. That can be a delicate balance, but one she handles with experience and a wealth of expertise.”

“Rachel’s talent for acupuncture is phenomenal. I tell her often that she saved my life! I sought her out for help with hot flashes and trouble sleeping, a result of menopause. I was having 30-40 hot flashes a day and waking every two hours a night. My doctor wanted to put me on HRT but I declined, wanting a more natural remedy.

After my first session with Rachel, my hot flashes decreased immediately and my sleeping improved. Within a month, my hot flashes dropped to less than ten a day, and not nearly as severe, and my sleep has improved so much that I am back to dreaming again.

I can’t say enough about how much Rachel’s magic hands with acupuncture has changed my life. Thanks, Rachel!”

“A few years ago I began to have frequent headaches. Initially I took Ibuprofen and a nap at the onset of my headaches but after a while, the headaches were turning into migraines. I switched to Excedrin migraine. Even with a stronger pain medication, my headaches kept coming back.

After two years, I accepted the pain as a part of my life. The headaches became weekly and incapacitating but I feared being put on prescription pain medication. I was still skeptical about whether acupuncture would work but I decided to give it a shot and I am so glad I did!

I found Rachel online. At my first appointment, she and I talked extensively about my headaches and the location and type of pain I was experiencing. I had A LOT of questions but Rachel was patient and encouraging and very thorough. After my first appointment, I went home and went straight to bed. The next morning was amazing. My body was tension free for the first time in years and without a headache.

I no longer have weekly headaches. Rachel discovered the root of my headaches and worked with me to eliminate it, a health alternative I much prefer to constantly taking pain relievers (not to mention that my stomach is much happier as well). I can’t communicate what a relief it is not to have a headache each week. Rachel is currently weaning me off acupuncture treatments. I only go once per month but my body still looks forward to the sessions and the afternoon nap!”

“I suffered from migraines and pain was so severe that I had equilibrium problems, blurred vision and nausea. I was diagnosed with a small cholesterol granuloma on the right side of my brain. This was not life threatening but contributed to my migraines. I was given prescription pain medicines that were so potent, I felt dizzy and worse after taking them. Over time, my pain progressed and I completely lost hope that I would ever find a solution.

Not only was I impressed with the professionalism of the clinic and Rachel’s bubbly personality; I was floored at the results I felt with my health. I immediately felt pressure in my head relieved. If you have ever held your breath underwater for too long and finally came to the surface to exhale, this is how I can describe I felt after my first treatment. I suffered headaches for so long, I forgot what it felt like to not have one.”

“For years I suffered daily back, neck, shoulder and all around joint and muscle discomfort. Prior to trying acupuncture I went to chiropractic and massage for roughly a year. Even with frequent visits, I still experienced quite a bit of discomfort. My job requires me to be on my feet, on concrete, lifting awkward and heavy items and at the end of any given day, my joints and muscles are just shot.

Acupuncture was suggested in the past but I never really gave it much thought. I started to see Rachel about 4 months ago. By the fourth session I started to feel my body “reset” itself. I recall having a body high for a couple days. I decided that it wasn’t so much that I was high but rather that I wasn’t experiencing the constant level of pain that I had been accustomed to for so many years. Acupuncture penetrated trouble areas in my back and neck that massage just couldn’t get to. If you suffer from chronic muscle and joint pain then I recommend at least trying a few sessions of acupuncture!”

“As a dancer, my body is my instrument and when it’s broken, I can’t really work around it. I have had chronic hip issues for a long time as well as the usual strains on the rest of my body that come with a discipline like ballet. There have been long periods when my dancing didn’t seem feasible. I started seeing Rachel for my hips and other old injuries and I moved very differently after the first few treatments. Her combination of classical Chinese meridians with Western trigger-points really opened up the areas in my body that were stuck.

Since I started working with Rachel, she has addressed my chronic injuries as well as old scar tissue and a sprained back. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for pain relief and a way to address the body imbalances, especially if you are an athlete.”
