Acupuncture
Stress, borderline hypertension, and complex menstruation issues
I
began seeing Joy for acupuncture to address issues of stress,
borderline hypertension, and complex menstrual problems. Although this
was my first experience with acupuncture, Joy put me at ease with her
gentle "bedside manner" and her willingness to answer any question that
came up during the treatment process (and there were many!). I began
noticing the calming effects of my treatment immediately. After
several treatments, I noticed that my blood pressure was stabilizing,
and that my menstrual cycles improved dramatically. I would highly
recommend Joy for anyone who is interested in exploring oriental
medicine. - Melissa
General wellness
Joy is a heart centered
practitioner with immense compassion, warmth, and non-judgment. These
attributes make it possible for her to easily create a sacred space for
healing to occur. Her deep understanding of the Five Element Tradition
coupled with her gentle needling technique assure a very effective and
powerful treatment. I have great respect for her and the deepest
gratitude for the regenerative treatments I received. - June Put off trying acupuncture foreverJoy's approach to healing and wellness is comforting and soothing. I've put off trying acupuncture forever, and it has proven to be something I wished I hadn't waited to do. And having Joy to share the experience with has been awesome! - Karen

Conjunctivitis and acute sinus infection
I was visiting my parents for Christmas from London when I had the misfortune of getting conjunctivitis in both eyes and a severe sinus infection. The old me would have taken antibiotic drops in my eyes and enough Sinutab to sedate an elephant. I am more informed now and also breastfeeding my son so that approach was not an option.
I contacted Joy on Friday evening at 5:30 based on a recommendation from a friend. Joy called me back within 10 minutes and made time to see me that evening. She saw me for almost two hours taking care with every needle and letting me rest because I had such a severe sinus headache. I went and saw Joy the next day again and was already feeling better. I saw her a third time before I was due to travel back to London with my son. I had the slightest twinge of congestion ‘squeak’ on the plane during descent but other than this I was well thanks to Joy. She healed me from agony to functioning within one day and to well and able to fly within four days. Joy also mentioned a possible kidney and blood deficiency that my acupuncturist confirmed when I saw her on my return to London. My acupuncturist in London was trained in China and has been practicing for over 20 years and Joy had only seen me
twice in an acute situation. I cannot recommend Joy highly enough. She is careful, thoughtful and a very skilled and insightful practitioner. - Monica

Medical Qigong
Seeking Optimum Health
Over the past few months, I have been preparing for a personal journey to
optimize my health. I have always considered exercise and eating healthy foods
as the primary means to obtaining and maintaining good health. I recently learned
of a diagnosis which may challenge my usual methods and provide me with an
opportunity to seek out more enriched forms of strengthening mind, body and
health!
I began searching the internet for local Yoga classes and acupuncture
sessions and then found an article about medical Qigong which I immediately
connected with. I was truly grateful when I found Joy’s website and read about
her experience with medical Qigong. I scheduled my first appointment with her
and I have been absolutely amazed with the results. Joy has a true gift which
she is capable of transferring to others in healing ways. She is an excellent
listener and educator as well, and offers the time and caring to ensure comfort
and relaxation in an optimum healing environment.
I have continued with weekly sessions during this initial stage of healing.
At times I am unable to put into words the incredible experience of energy flow
and healing awareness, and at other times, I am clearly focused and
understanding of specific, well defined techniques that ensure the mind and
body’s responses. I am confident that anyone can benefit from Joy’s Qigong
sessions. It becomes a personal journey which is facilitated as a team – Joy is
a true professional and I am grateful for her healing strength. - Lucy
True understanding of where I needed to work on myself
Medical
Qigong really helped me unearth the root
of what I was feeling at that time. Things surfaced that I wasn't
even aware were related to my current state of mind. I felt an
opening, a release and a clearing--- it was amazing. Joy's ability to
hold the space and facilitate the treatment only further increased the
ability for my tears to pour out, and the freedom and clarity
afterwards
was so refreshing. The medical qigong treatments really helped bring
a true understanding of where I needed to work on myself, but also
what the true voice of self was asking inside for me to be on my path
to
true health and destiny. The questions were truly answered and the
sacred space allowed it all to sink in. Joy is an amazing
practitioner and her dedication to the practice and spirituality shines
through bright and clear in every treatment I shared with her. - Nicole
Exhausted
Joy is amazing, personally and professionally. I cannot express enough
her natural talent for holistic healing. Not knowing much about Medical
Qigong, I scheduled an appointment with her a week or so in advance to
see what it is about. I spent eight hours that day and the day before
painting my house. I was exhausted when I arrived for my appointment
but left refreshed and energized. It was an awesome experience because
of both Joy and the Medical Qi Gong. Before we started, Joy explained
in detailed exactly what she would be doing and made sure that I
understood and felt comfortable. Through the treatment, I gradually
began to feel more and more relaxed and could actually feel the energy
moving through my body as she worked with it! The feeling was
unbelievable! After the treatment, Joy spoke with me a length to
explain what she did and to answer all questions I had. I not only left
the appointment feeling relaxed yet energized, but maintained this
feeling for several days afterwards. Joy really opened my eyes to the
importance of keeping your energy balanced and got me so enthused about
incorporating Qi Gong into my life. I have since taken a seminar on
Medical Qi Gong and practice it daily. I whole-heartedly recommend Joy.
She is an amazing, genuine person and practitioner. - Lisa
Yoga
Wonderfully talented yoga instructor
Joy is a wonderfully talented yoga instructor. Joy instructed
my wife and me for several months with positive and long lasting
results. On a daily basis, I find myself invoking a lesson or advice
she shared with us. Her warm and positive sprite are infectious and
uplifting and her insight into ones physical and spiritually outlook is
truthful and healing. - RobertCharming and caring natureI
approached Joy with the possibility of her teaching a yoga class (which
thankfully she said yes to!) It is so important in the healing arts to
trust a teacher. I felt confident I would feel safe with the
well-being and instruction of our students. Joy has done a wonderful
job with the classes. Her charming and caring nature keeps her
students interested and very comfortable. They love her and keep
coming back for more! Joy is not only very skilled at the practice of
yoga, she is also a treasure to watch. She is so serene and graceful,
and a beautiful "physical" example of the art she embodies. She is
responsible, on time, very competent and all those qualities we look
for in someone working in our businesses. - CynthiaMultiple Modalities - Acupuncture, Chinese Herbs, Medical Qigong, and Yoga
Depression
My
quality of life before acupuncture was miserable. Thanks to the good
practice of Joy my life changed. I am much, much more calm now. My
family knows as soon as I walk in the door when I have been in the
acupucturist office. And, I noticed a difference immediately after my
first treatment. On the day of my acupuncture treatment, I usually
have no desire to do anything, but after each treatment I feel positive
and willing to do things. Joy also customized Chinese herbs for me
that were extremely helpful for relaxation. Thanks to this herbal
formula and her acupuncture treatments, I am no longer using
anti-depressant drugs. For ten years, I was using all kinds of drugs:
Zoloft, Lexapro, Buspar, etc... Thanks to Joy and her treatments I am
free of drugs. Acupuncture and herbs are the alternative medicine to
change anyone's life. Joy is a complete healer; with her, I learned
the positive reception of other healing methods like yoga and Medical
Qigong. I recommend to anyone to see Joy and discover the magic of
Five Element Acupuncture. - AntonioWestern medicine failed me
After
western medicine had failed me, I turned to Joy and her holistic
healing practices. Joy is a competent and compassionate healer. She
introduced me to acupuncture, herbs, and yoga...all of which changed my
life. - Hope
Keep energy high and stress down
Joy has helped me both as an Acupuncture Physician and as a Medical
Qigong Therapist. She treats me about once a month and helps me to keep
my energy levels high and my stress levels down. Recently, with one
treatment, she helped me to overcome a lingering sinus and chest cold.
In my opinion as a fellow Acupuncturist, Joy is a wonderful practitioner
who is very skilled and thorough. - FeliciaWithin treatments, relief was apparent visually and emotionallyWithin five minutes of meeting Joy, I knew that she had what it would take to deal with my strong "wood element" personality! Soon after our meeting, she began to provide me with clarification and healing through acupuncture and Chinese herbs, which I never experienced before. I originally went with the intention of exploring acupuncture as a means to help rid my face of an almost cystic-like acne problem. I had been dealing with this issue for years and nothing seemed to work! Within the first few treatments, relief was apparent; both visually on my face and emotionally inside! Seven months later, I rarely form any type of lump on my face and my emotions have been the most stable in my life! It can only get better from here!
Through Joy's thorough knowledge as a Chinese medicine practitioner, I was able to learn and comprehend what some of my root issues and problems are caused by and how everything is related. Joy has helped me to understand my choices, fears, decisions, and provides honest, healing answers that I have not received from any other source. She never lets me down by not being able to answer one of the endless questions I always seem to have about life, Chinese medicine, and all the other topics I dream up! I have only the utmost respect and admiration for Joy as both an amazing, genuine person and Acupuncture Physician; she has the power and ability to change your life forever. I have an endless amount of gratitude for Joy because of the positive impact she has had on my life! Her YogAcu and Qigong classes are also a fun and wonderful time to heal and open perspectives about yourself and the world around you. Who knew going to the acupuncturist would be so fun? Thanks Joy! - Katie
