Not what I was expecting

by BRS2009 at Citysearch

I was referred to Tracy Andersen by a person she went to school with because she is in my neighborhood. I was very disappointed by her level of knowledge and professionalism. She seemed to be 'winging it' during our appointment and when I asked her deeper questions she did not have the knowledge someone at her level should. Her needling technique was alright but she has a long way to go before she will be a healer of any merit.

• Pros: Reasonably priced
• Cons: professionalism, bed side manner

Thank you Tracy

What a gift finding Tracy Anderson has been. I first saw her for a cough I had been nursing for weeks and couldn?t seem to kick. After the first treatment I felt great and was back on track. Every time I come in I am impressed by her gentle effective technique. Her dedication and extensive knowledge base really sets her apart from other practitioners.

• Pros: Knowledgeable, Gentle, Effective
• Cons: none

Great Acupuncture and Shiatsu from Tracy

by punkinspice at Citysearch

After several months of tension headaches and joint pain in my knees and hips, a friend suggested I go see Tracy Anderson for acupuncture. At our first meeting, Tracy asked me all about my medical history, the nature of my areas of pain, and asked about any other chronic conditions I might have. She was very kind and genuinely concerned, and I was happy about her holistic approach to the improvement of my health. I was also impressed by the acupuncture experience?the dark room, the quiet music, and placement of needles I could barely feel?which immediately sent a humming sensation all through me and felt fantastic.

Tracy has a very calming presence, ensures a soothing environment, both during consultation and treatment, and provides an experience that is completely relaxing as well as healing. She encouraged my attempts at exercise and healthy diet, provided suggestions for eating choices and lifestyle shifts, and, most importantly, after less than 2 months of treatment, my daily tension headaches were gone, and my joint pain faded away. At each visit, Tracy asks about all of my past concerns or problems, and modifies the treatment to help in any new or pre-existing areas. I continue to go for acupuncture (and shiatsu) treatment because I want to maintain my well-being?and because it feels so good!
