Since May 2009, I have been on medication, Physical Therapy sessions, and Chiropractic sessions, all of which did little to alleviate my pain. A friend recommended  Dr. Emily as someone who could help and indeed she did!. After one visit, I was not only able to stand longer than five minutes - I was able to walk all around Santa Fe and Ghost Ranch and more without pain. A few days after my first treatment with Dr. Emily, I was even able to play a round of golf for the first time in four months without pain.

I am so grateful to Dr. Emily for her care and expertise.”

After several weekly acupuncture treatments, my bone showed significant re-calcification. I also got the added benefits of better digestion, reduced PMS symptoms, and overall well-being.

I don’t know how I went so long without acupuncture, because now I can’t imagine not getting it. In addition to the amazing benefits of the acupuncture, Dr. Emily imparts a feeling that I am well taken care of and listened to.  She treats the whole person, not just the individual symptoms. Thanks for taking such good care of me!

When I came to her, I’d had four kidney-stone attacks in six days, including one while on an airplane, and I was at my wits end.

At my initial session, in addition to my treatment, Dr. Emily gave me suggestions for things I could do at home (dietary and lifestyle changes) to make my treatments more effective. I have been off of my pain medications and pain free ever since my first treatment with Dr. Emily, and have not had another attack. I travel for work, and being able to get on an airplane without wondering whether another attack will happen mid-air is a great weight to have lifted off of me.

Thanks so much to Dr. Emily for the skillful and compassionate way she shares her knowledge and skills!

Dr. Emily cured me of my recurring winter colds, and moderated my allergy symptoms significantly.”

After Dr. Emily’s treatments, not only was I not smoking, I was also not craving cigarettes, and I have not wanted to smoke since. I can’t thank her enough for helping me to quit smoking. It will be two years in January, and I am still amazed that I don’t want it anymore. When things were rough earlier this year, I thought for sure that what I needed was a cigarette, and so after weeks of not giving in to that thought, I bummed one from a friend and I HATED IT. I took one inhale and was like, ewwwww, but I couldn’t believe it so I gave it another try, thinking for sure this time it would give me the comfort it used to and it didn’t. It was at that time I realized that I was truly a nonsmoker, thanks to Dr. Emily. :)

She is very good at putting people at ease. She takes the time to listen to me to get an accurate understanding of what is going on. She is very thorough, from diagnosis to treatment to follow up. Her treatments have been very effective and I always feel taken care of.”
