After a year of a debilitating  shoulder problem and no help from traditional medicine (x-ray, corticosteroid shot ( for diagnosis of tendonitis), and then more physical therapy, I decided to try acupuncture because a friend’s shoulder had been helped by Suzanne. 

I had a few sessions and then I had an MRI (which I requested by my MD). Two consults with Orthpaedic specialists resulted in the same advice. I was beyond rotator cuff surgery and needed reverse shoulder replacement when I could no longer tolerate my condition. I opted to against surgery and continued with Suzanne.  

I felt improvement in mobility and reduced pain with every session and we began to stretch the time between sessions. I was being treated by Suzanne for about six months when the Corona Virus impacted our lives and she had to temporarily suspend treatments. 

If I ever doubted that I had acupuncture to thank for my improvement, time without it was proof of its benefits. My shoulder began deteriorating more each week. After two months I had reverted back to my previous condition. Thankfully, we have been able to resume my treatments and I can already feel progress. Besides enhanced mobility and reduction of pain, when I am receiving acupuncture, I seem to have renewed and a better outlook. I truly believe it opens my qi forces and helps to balance them.  

I can’t thank Suzanne enough.

I found Suzanne eight months after suffering a significant concussion.  After numerous traditional medical treatments and anti-anxiety medications, I was making no recovery progress.  The concussion caused me to have extreme anxiety and headaches that were causing me to be in a state of fight or flight mode constantly.  I was unable to function normally, work, drive, or participate in needed visual therapy.  I could no longer tolerate the debilitating side effects of the many anti-anxiety medications that I felt only worsened my condition. 

A friend recommended Suzanne to me, and I thought at this point, what do I have to lose? Once I tried acupuncture therapy, I found immediate benefit; my anxiety was lowered, my mood elevated, and my headaches calmer within the first week.  After 8 months of not driving, I drove myself to my two week appointment.  I felt more forward progress in two weeks than in the previous eight months of traditional medical treatments.  I am able to now participate in needed vision therapy and use the acupuncture to offset the anxiety and headaches that are a byproduct of this therapy.   

I find Suzanne to be very intuitive, knowledgeable, intelligent, and caring.  The entire experience is calming and she talks you through the process, so you understand what she is doing and why.  I highly recommend this practice, based on my experiences and amazing progress in a short period of time.  I look forward to working with Suzanne throughout my recovery.  I only wish I had found her sooner. If you are on the fence and looking for a reason not to try this therapy... there isn't one.

I look forward to every visit!  She has helped with everything from nausea, joint pain, and lack of appetite to migraines, carpal tunnel, and IBS.  I had fluid in both ears for months and was told I'd have to get them drained via incision.  But just a few sessions with Suzanne and my primary confirmed that they both have drained! 

Suzanne is an empathetic and tranquil individual.  She really takes time to listen to me before each session.  If there are any lingering body complaints after a session, she makes sure she addresses those before I leave as well. I simply cannot recommend her enough! For someone with multiple chronic illnesses, she has changed my life.

My first experience with acupuncture was with Suzanne. I was seeking natural help with unexplained secondary infertility and low progesterone. I was so pleased with the time and intensive attention that Suzanne invested in me on a weekly basis: not simply physical issues were addressed, but also energy and emotional issues. She helped me learn so much about myself and made acupuncture a pleasant and successful experience.

I noticed differences in my cycle after the first session with Suzanne. We successfully conceived about 2.5 months after I began acupuncture. I do believe that Suzanne helped to prepare my body to carry a child again. I recommend visiting Suzanne based on her empathy, attention to every aspect of health, compassion, and warmth. She is a wonderful practitioner of acupuncture!

Starting acupuncture with Suzanne at Indian Valley Acupuncture has been such a positive experience for me!  I love the location-10 minutes from my house!  I love the flexibility in scheduling appointments!

I love how relaxed I feel during and after my appointment and I love feeling like I'm doing something positive for myself at each and every appointment!  Suzanne is a natural caregiver and she is an amazing person and acupuncturist!
