Last fall, I began experiencing numbness in one of my hands which gradually worsened and led to me seek out acupuncture. As a massage therapist, I was extremely worried that I might eventually be unable to work, require surgery, lose months of income, etc. I began seeing Allison in December for an intensive period of treatment, hoping to avoid a surgical option. After several weeks of uncertainty whether treatment would resolve my issue, periods of "two steps up, one step back", good days and bad days, where I wasn't sure if I was healing, I finally began to feel lasting change taking place. Now, in my fourth month of acupuncture, I only need one treatment every few weeks to maintain the improvement. I feel almost entirely healed. Words can't express my amazement, relief, and gratitude! Allison has been such a steady, quietly confident, encouraging, genuine, professional and skillful presence throughout this challenging time.
I had an opportunity to work with Tracy as well, and found her so gentle, kind, enthusiastic, and generous with her knowledge; helping me understand what she was doing, why, etc.
I can't recommend these practitioners highly enough. If you are willing to commit the time and resources to this practice, as well as do your own part in your healing process, you may be truly amazed at your body's ability to recover!

Reviews
I highly recommend acupuncture treatments by Allison Millar. She is sensitive, professional, and caring, and her staff and office exude an atmosphere of peace and healing. I am very happy with the results of my sessions and will be following up for future appointments.
Allison is very kind, very thorough and very professional. Her expert knowledge is evident, and her kind nature amplifies her technique. Julia and Ollie greet you when you arrive and make you feel at home.
