Victoria J. Taylor - Licensed Acupuncturist

Had acupuncture for the first time. Victoria was very thorough in explaining the procedure. She is very accommodating and thoughtful. The acupuncture treatment really helped my back and hip issues.

What a pleasure to have a medical care provider who spends more than 10 minutes with a patient getting to KNOW her and her overall health needs instead of a rushed interview followed by prescribing a pill and moving on to the next in line! Western medicine, where practitioners are mostly focused on whichever organ the doctor specializes in while ignoring how every other body part or system interacts with it, is definitely the way to go when you already know exactly what the problem is. But when you have a multisystem disorder or something doctors can't quite identify, you need an approach that focuses on the entire body, mind, and spirit as one entity with a goal of achieving overall balance, not just patchwork. Chinese Medicine takes the "whole person" approach, which makes it the perfect complement to Western medicine for me.

I met Victoria in the community, and she was so friendly and offered to help when I had severe plantar fasciitis. I'd had a little acupuncture before but never done it regularly. I am so glad I met Victoria when I did because I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia soon after. If you're familiar with fibro, you know it has a million symptoms and isn't easily treated with meds or anything else. Living with fibro is often hellish, and acupuncture is one of the few things that helps a number of symptoms. One thing I especially value about Victoria is that she's knowledgeable about Western medicine as well. I've had natural health practitioners who knew nothing about my meds or even encouraged me to go off them (!), but Victoria isn't like that at all. Having fibro is one of the worst things that's happened to me, and I do often feel hopeless and discouraged by the lack of treatment options. I don't know what I'd do without Victoria helping to at least settle my symptoms so I can get some peace.
