I can't say enough about Maureen. I went to her a few months before starting fertility treatments. I went through IVF and with Maureen's help I was able to get pregnant the very first time! She is not only a skilled acupuncturist, she is also very insightful and was able to tailor each session to my specific needs. She really took the time to listen with compassion and as a patient I felt she genuinely cared and was excited for our process and eventual success!

I had been to see other acupuncturists in the past and had varied success but none like with Maureen. In addition, I found her to be the most gentle with regards to the actual treatment. No pain at all! I highly recommend her for anyone trying to get pregnant or anyone seeking the best acupuncturist around.

I had surgery on my elbow last year and it was better but only about 60%. I still had some pain after I played. I started getting acupuncture treatments and noticed the pain going away over time. Now I feel I can play pain free, which I thought I would never be able to do. I'm thrilled that I can play again!!

I had never had acupuncture before, and didn't know what to expect. Maureen explains the process and effects with expertise. It is a very nurturing environment! I went here to assist with depression symptoms. Over time, I really felt a difference. I believe these treatments really helped me through the winter season. And, she is knowledgeable in supplements, herbs as well!

I have known Maureen for over 10 years. First meeting her at Five Branches Institute truly changed my life. My health was in a dire state of imbalance, and seeking Western approaches to remedy the problems resulted in more fear and turmoil. Every time I went to see a Doctor, it got worse. When the Doc finally decided that I had Lupus, I said, enough. I saw Maureen as an Intern for 9 months. I got better after every session, which was a remarkable improvement over the Western based experiences. I believe that the treatments and their effectiveness was based on Maureen's intent. Her demeanor is inspiring and her treatments reflect her regard for balance.
Her practice is thriving, and from experience, her tactics for pain reduction are amazing. From migraines to PMS, knee pain to shoulder pain, after one visit, you can expect to exclaim how much better you feel. But the most amazing treatment I ever received from her was 3 years ago. I was nauseous for literally 4 months, couldn't keep anything in when I finally paid her a visit. Some ShaoYang thing, she said the virus was stuck neither internally nor externally. She treated me there, and then left some small tacks in my wrist for me to tap every time I felt sick. She gave me a formula, and by the next day, I was back at work after having 2 meals that didn't make me feel sick. Truly amazing. How many Western Doc's can boast such results?!
I know that she is also treating more and more fertility cases these days, too.

I am sitting here at age 41 writing as my 4 week old baby is rocking gently by my side. Maureen is very easy to work with, a sweetheart and she is a great help to women who are trying to conceive. Once I was pregnant, she also helped me stay pregnant. I was only trying for four months and after six weeks working with Maureen, I conceived at age 40.

She is a no pressure, wonderful acupuncturist and I highly recommend her!!
