I endured lower back pain for years. Being an RN of course I ignored it. A coworker who always helped me out with Ibuprofen or Salon Pas that she kept at her desk suggested I go to her acupuncturist whom she referred to as a “wizard”. I thought she was nuts. I had no prior experience nor knowledge of acupuncture and naively formed my own biases.
Until one day my pain was so severe that I was willing to seek out any other path than the one I was on. Not only was I skeptical on my initial visit, I was also scared. I have minimal pain tolerance and did not know what to expect. Anjelika was extremely welcoming and easy to talk to. She explained the process clearly and peaked my interest when speaking of the differences in western and eastern medicine.
She suggested I initially see her minimally twice a week. Again, I questioned this not wanting to commit the time nor the money. Reluctantly I agreed.
Within the first few weeks I could not believe the difference. My pain was literally non existent. Anjelika suggested I decrease my sessions. Twice a week became once a week and eventually once a month for maintenance.
For the past three years I have not missed a month. If my back feels a little off or another body part comes into play which it has (a shoulder and hip), Anjelika has been successful in healing those as well. I have never endured any pain during a session and even find them quite calming. It allows me an hour of complete stillness and relaxation that I often find myself falling asleep.
Anjelika’s healing work has also helped me improve my life in other ways . From the start I considered acupuncture as “investing in myself”. I wanted to live a healthier and more positive life. The more I got to know Anjelika, the more I felt comfortable sharing with her. Her wisdom and advice have empowered me to believe in myself, break unhealthy habits and create a more healthier and positive lifestyle.
I am so grateful that I made the decision to contact her that day. It was one of the best decisions I’ve made. Her guidance has truly changed my life.
