I recently strained my lower back and was unable to walk. A good friend of ours recommended Tera at her clinic, Tao's Wellness Clinic as she had recently hurt her back as well and Tera was able to help fix her issues. After my first acupuncture session, the pain was immediately alleviated and I was able walk and sleep! Tera is AWESOME! Her clinic is very clean with soothing music and water fountains to keep you calm. There is virtually no pain with the acupuncture as Tera is a total professional. Highly recommended, thumps way up!

I saw incredible results using Nicole's services. I had an issue with my sciatic nerve. For a few weeks, I was in a great deal of pain. For two weeks, I was averaging 3-4 hours of sleep a night in one hour intervals because of the pain. My doctors told me that nerve issues can take a long time to heal. I started to see Nicole, and in two weeks, my issue was resolved. I am very happy with the results. I would recommend her services to all my friends and family, and I know that with her knowledge and skills, she can help people with a number of issues.
