Acupuncture and IBS

by mj2007 at Citysearch

I decided to seek help after suffering from IBS, as well as gluten intolerance, for three long years. After a stint overseas, I had developed a strong stomach sensitivity that led me to become gluten free as well as lactose free. It was at times tolerable and at other times paralyzing. I was left with little hope after going to clinical physicians who gave me no helpful advice. It was always the same story, you have an IBS and it is a chronic condition. Fortunately, after talking to a friend I decided to start investigating Eastern medicines approach to stomach woes. I found Deborah because of her many positive yelp reviews and felt that her holistic and natural approach would be beneficial.

She approached my stomach issues through two avenues, acupuncture and a special blend of herbal remedies. My stomach improved rapidly and I felt the improvement within the first six weeks. I became able to eat out (as well as try new foods as long as they were gluten free). I no longer dealt with the chronic constipation. Today I am able to eat some dairy and my stomach is completely healed of the gluten allergy!! Deborah was kind, considerate and always attentive to my stomach abnormalities. IBS is a treatable condition but not from the western give it a prescription approach. Deborah truly understands how the body functions and how things like hormones, bacteria and stress all affect the body. I would recommend her to anyone with stomach issues, anxiety or other ailments.

Deb gave me hope to keep trying

by anonymousperson99 at Citysearch

Deb treated me for about a year for infertility. Anyone who has experienced infertility knows how trying, frustrating and disappointing it is. Those were very dark days for me and I can't imagine what I would have done without Deb.

Seeing Deb on a weekly basis really helped me cope with all of these feelings. Her positive attitude and ability to really listen made me feel like I was in good hands. Making me laugh didn't hurt either! After seeing countless doctors, who made me feel pretty hopeless, it was Deb who lifted me up and made me feel like it was going to happen for me.

As I write this, I am 34 weeks pregnant and have to thank Deb's treatment for taking a big role in this. She inspired me to keep going and not to give up.

• Pros: Positive environment, effective and efficient treatment
• Cons: None!

Deborah Healed My IBS

by als23 at Citysearch

As a person who is always in control of life, I found myself utterly helpless suffering from IBS symptoms for almost 2 years. The worst of it was the panic attacks. It felt like a never ending cycle, and I longed to be normal again. Out of desperation, I tried multiple western medicines,but to no avail. I began to google acupuncture and found Sage Wellness

where I began my treatment with Deborah. I took her suggestions and instructions very seriously, I kept a color-coded food log and stayed off of certain "trigger" foods, together with weekly acupuncture sessions and

herbs she prescribed, my food log looked a lot "greener" after 2 months. I can honestly say that my life is back to normal. One of the great things

about Deborah is that she doesn't just treat your symptoms, rather, she gets to the root cause, and for me, that was stress. I highly recommend Deb, her genuineness and kindness in addition to her expertise is

definitely one of a kind!

Acupuncture For Fertility

by ajj22 at Citysearch

I went to Sage Wellness because my husband and I were having trouble conceiving. We tried for about a one year and went through one round of IVF which unfortunately did not work. At that point, I wanted to look at alternative routes before going through another round of IVF. That is when I contacted Deborah at Sage Wellness. I found Deborah to be extremely knowledgeable and caring. She educated me on my cycle which no other doctor had! Through acupuncture treatment and herbs, I began to see the difference in my periods and felt so much more relaxed. Four months later we got pregnant! I am thrilled beyond belief and very happy we were able to get pregnant naturally. I recommend Deborah for anyone who is looking for acupuncture and their health.

• Pros: Skilled and Wonderful Practitioner
• Cons: None
