Alex is amazing at what she does! When I had my baby I developed wrist pain from carrying and breastfeeding. It was pretty painful where I could barely hold a dish up. I tried a wrist brace, massaging with ointments and wrist exercises to help with the pain but they weren't very effective. I decided to try acupuncture with Alex. From the first session I already noticed a difference in the range of motion and a lot of the tightness had reduced. I was consistent in seeing her once a week for at least 3 weeks, and then it was every 2 weeks for another 3 weeks. Some of our sessions we would combine acupuncture + massage. After 6 sessions my wrist felt completely better and back to normal. I highly recommend her! Her full body massage sessions are also great!
I have officially been converted to being a believer in acupuncture. I can honestly tell you my experience with Alex was absolutely amazing. I got not only immediate relief from the pain I was in, but lasting relief & with great advice on how to keep working the area afterwards and moving forward. I saw Alex about a week after throwing my back out and a visit to the ER I was at about a 6 pain wise constantly with moments of higher pain. Walking was extremely difficult and I was desperate to try anything to help. I was referred to her by a friend and was set up with an initial massage, then acupuncture, and finished with some cupping (another first for me). All of it- totally amazing. The acupuncture specifically was life-changing because I could actually feel the release in my muscles and the good deep ache it brought. And honestly, putting in the needles does not hurt. And those that pinch, it's over as fast as you felt it. It all just feels amazing, like tiny deep releases in your muscles while the blood gets in there and starts to heal you. Since seeing Alex, everything has vastly improved. My walking is better, my pain feels down to a 2, and I'm able to go to work and feel productive. I highly, greatly, COMPLETELY encourage you to set up an appointment! 1000% worth your time.
Alex is the best! I've had such great massages, cupping and acupuncture with her. She's great about talking with me to find out what I need and want. She make suggestions to help with my issues and checks in with me to make sure I agree with her suggestions before proceeding. She's very easy to be around and I appreciate that. She's very respectful and caring. It took me a long time to find someone I trust for acupuncture and massage. When I find someone good I stick with that person. Can't wait for my next treatment with her!
I have had massages in at least 20 countries and have not found a single massage therapist who is better than Alex. She was the FIRST massage therapist to assess my current state (I'm talking 'bend over' / 'move this way', etc.). Alex then talked me through her approach on how, when and where she needed to work. Followed by why her recommendation was going to help fix all my pain (back and hips). Yes she can give you a massage that makes you feel good and relaxed but she truly introduced me to the healing power of massage therapy. She listens, she cares and she is now a regular part of my health/healing process.
