I can't say enough good things about Dr. Linda Shelby-Read. I started seeing her when I was struggling to get pregnant and from the very start she was a calming and reassuring presence that was very a valuable resource to have throughout my journey. The conversation always came easy and it felt more like talking to a friend than a medical professional. In addition to acupuncture, she suggested diet modifications and supplements/herbs depending on where I was in my IVF treatment. I can't count how many times I walked into her office overwhelmed, and left feeling relaxed and heard. Once I was pregnant, we continued to meet and she helped me through the anxiety of pregnancy after loss and all the things that come with pregnancy. Her sessions have been so valuable during these past few years and I enjoyed our time together. I will miss our weekly appointments and highly recommend anyone looking for support in their fertility journey to give her a call. She's a valuable resource and a genuinely good person.

Horrible service!! Called several times and no response! How could you trust them with your health and they don't know how to return calls?

I waited for Viveka to become an acupuncturist, knowing what a diligent student she was. She never disappointed my expectations! When I lived closer, I was a regular at her clinic. She helped me understand that some of my health issues were genetic. She brought balance back into my life, besides being a good friend. One of the best things about the Healing Compass is that the practitioners really live according to the healing practices they represent.

I can't say enough about Dr. Linda Shelby-Read. I started seeing her for infertility and acid reflux. After nearly a year of trying to get conceive, I felt I needed a little help and on the first cycle with her, Dr. Linda made it happen! (I don't think it typically happens that fast so please don't have that expectation for yourself.) In addition to the acupuncture, she has also worked with me on my nutrition and gave me a supplement regimen that helps with my acid reflux along with some of the other lovely side effects that go along with being pregnant. Her sessions have truly been valuable during these past few months and I have enjoyed her sessions much more than I even thought I would. Dr. Linda deserves all 5 out of 5 starts from me!

The healing Compass , Dr Linda is one of the gems that you really find and when you do, you will treasure for ever. Dr Linda is the most caring , sweetest and most of all professional Dr I have seen in a long time. She has the ability to get to the root of any problem, diagnoses with great care and takes the time to talk to you on such a personal level with so much time for you as a patient, that you almost forget you are at a Dr office. I feel like I am at a SPA , and giving myself a treat, a gift to me, ever-time I see her. I feel rested, full of energy, ready to heal and very uplifted. I have Tinnitus, and was told it is never going to heal, well I did not accept that answer my MD's and ear specialist gave me. I did some researched and found Dr Linda. I am now being treated for it. Her approach to healing the whole body's health's , so we can get any specific problems solved is what I always believed in and with her incredible detailed care, nothing can't be healed. I am getting healthier and better, and I am enjoying being at the Dr office, It does not get better than this. I Highly recommend her to anyone ! Steffi

Healing Compass has been my saving grace. For years now I've had pain and stomach issues. Before Linda at Healing Compass was recommended to me by a dear friend, I had no idea that they could help me and be so life changing. The pain in my back, shoulder and neck is much better and my stomach problems are quickly becoming a thing of the past. Linda is amazing. I look forward to my treatments and the supplements she's recommended have been very healing. So grateful!!!

I LOVE the Healing Compass Center and I LOVE Viveka- Thank you god for bringing Viveka and the Healing Compass into my life!!I am not sure where to start. I have soooo much in my head and heart to share. I have been seeing Viveka I think close to three months now. On my first visit, I walked into the healing center feeling depressed, unenthusiastic and I felt like my life and spirit had been sucked out of me. Prior to scheduling my first appointment, I spent A LOT of time researching naturopathic/ wellness centers because last year I chose a functional doctor which was a very costly mistake; so this time, I did my due diligence in finding a new healthcare provider. From the minute I visited the Healing Compass website it spoke to me, and from my first conversation with Linda (Viveka’s partner) and the generosity of Linda’s time, I felt like the Healing Compass was the right choice for me.There is sooooo much to boast about Viveka. She allows me to be a human being, and she was quick to learn that I am a perfectionist. She reminds me that I don’t need to be perfect. It is about balance; it is about the choices we make, and understanding what is behind some of the decisions we make in our life. Viveka immediately understood my personality, and how to work with my type of personality so I would be successful on my journey to wellness. She is an AWESOME cheerleader and has been very respectful of my budget. Viveka listens to me and my symptoms. She is so giving of herself and generous of her time. I am still a work in progress, but Viveka and I are a team, and as a result of our work together I am happy to report that the happy go lucky Staci came back to life. I have more energy and it feels awesome.P.S.- I was VERY hesitant at first in choosing an acupuncturist as my healthcare provider. This wasn’t what I was searching for. I had acupuncture twice in my life about 10 years ago, and I did not have a good experience either time, which left a bad taste in my mouth about acupuncture. I am soooo happy I kept an open mind because I am now a BIG BELIEVER IN ACUPUNCTURE. I am so happy my friend Sheri told me how much Viveka helped her with her health issues, I am sooo happy that the Healing Compass website spoke out to me, and I am soooo happy I picked up the phone and called and started my wellness journey with the Healing Compass.
