"I am a tour guide to your body." In believing that the body has an innate ability to heal itself, I guide you to that place by a variety of techniques. Japanese Style is a gentle and nourishing form that emphasizes the root causes of disharmony in the body, using EXTREMELY fine needles.

Education on preventative medicine is important. We get oil changes in our cars regularly even if they are running ok. Our bodies are the same; they…

Has changed my life in 3 sessions! AMAZING!!!
by Jikaiah at Citysearch
I have had sleeping problems as far back as I could remember. It had been well over 15 yrs since i had slept fully through the night. I had become dependent on taking tylenol pm or melatonin to even get some sleep. And was desperate to find a way, and Stephanie has been the answer to my parayers! After only 2 visits i took a trip out of state and figured even with the progress i had made it would be set back from sleeping in different places, to my absolute shock i slept and slept well on my trip. Since back i have had only 1 more session and am so Happy to say I am sleeping and without taking any sleep aids at all...
She has been such a blessing to my life. And highly recomend her!!! She is smart, funny and delight to be around :)
- Pros: Tottaly works, friendly,
- Cons: none

Great Energy, Great Healing
by DAMV at Citysearch
I was recommended to Stephanie by a friend who had done acupuncture several times before in her life for various things. Her office is just up the street from where I work, so scheduling an appointment during the day was easy. Stephanie is amazing. She spent two hours with me in the initial consult really taking the time to get to know me and my health history. Before my first actual treatment, I came down with a terrible chest cold. My friend told me that should I email Stephanie and see if she could recommend any helpful treatments in the meantime. Stephanie again took the time to find out exactly what my symptoms were before finally recommending some home treatments I could try. My first actual treatment was absolutely relaxing and wonderful. She specifically treated me to help relieve my cold symptoms and within 3 days of treatment, I was off prescription and over-the-counter cold medicine entirely. She has a wonderful, welcoming, fun energy and I highly recommend her!

Amazing Pain Relief
by katieprevost at Citysearch
I have been suffering from chronic foot pain for nearly three years. After two years of seeing a podiatrist I was told that there was nothing they could do short of surgery that would alleviate the pain. I have been a weekly visitor to Stephanie's office ever since, and my quality of life continues to improve. She keeps my on my feet, running around at work and at home (though not literally, but maybe someday.) I am so glad to have the active lifestyle I need to be a happy person. The needles are nothing. For my treatments, which involve the soles of my feet in an already extremely inflamed and irritated area, it does hurt, but it is worth it. It also helps that she is a counselor of sorts, not only treating the physical problems I have, but me as a person. I look forward to my appointment with the needles every week.
- Pros: Great practitioner, gentle touch.
- Cons: none

There is no greater feeling to me than when someone comes into my office without hope and walks out empowered and changed. Watching peoples bodies, minds and spirits transform to their fullest potential is the greatest reward to me as a practioner.
