Testimonials
After trying for a year to conceive, one month of acupuncture blessed us with a little man. I was highly recommended to Meredith after my sister had a very similar experience and also got pregnant after a month with Meredith. Can’t say enough great things about her!!… Read the rest
I went to Meredith for severe leg pains that I’ve suffered with for over 10 yrs. It affected my performance on the treadmill and kept me awake every night. After 3 treatments, I was pain free and back to running as well as sleeping much better.… Read the rest
Meredith has helped me with acupuncture for many issues over the years. Including wrist pain, stress reduction, labor induction and most important balancing my body and hormones after the births and breastfeeding of my children.

Meredith is the only acupuncturist that I trust. She is one of the few that have high level certifications and licenses in the area as well as having a masters in acupunture. While also researching for acupuncturist, I made sure she did not do any wierd buddha?… Read the rest
“When I first began working with Meredith, I quickly learned that she knew infinitely more about fertility acupuncture treatments than any other practitioner I had worked with. Her extensive knowledge helped me to learn what to expect- not only while in her office, but when working with my doctors.… Read the rest
I came to Meredith and Kim for treatment of a pinched nerve. The ensuing stiffness and pain from the affected nerve caused systemic stiffness which made it difficult to run or move. Since receiving treatment (only 3 total visits between Kim and Meredith so far!), nearly all the stiffness in my legs and neck has completely dissipated, resulting in increased flexibility and dramatically less pain.… Read the rest

I decided to try acupuncture to see if that would help & after less than 6 months of treatments from Meredith, my cycles became more regular than they had been in years-soon after I got pregnant naturally-even after going through several low-invasive fertility treatments- my son is now 4 months old!”

Migraines. Stress. Migraines. Fatigue. Migraines. Just about every single day I experienced these issues, often to debilitating extents. And I’d tried everything from counseling to massage to pills, but none of it worked. When I finally got tired of feeling like a pharmacy I took a good look at my needle-phobic self and decided “What the heck?”, it definitely can’t be any worse and scanned the phone book and web for acupuncturists in my area.… Read the rest

Five Reasons to Get Acupuncture for Migraines
Migraine headaches are a bit of mystery to the medical world. This ailment tends to be poorly understood and frequently undiagnosed and under-treated. According to the Migraine Research Foundation, this neurological disease affects nearly 39 million Americans. Migraines are characterized by severe, throbbing pain usually found on only one side of the head. Migraine headaches can also be accompanied by visual disturbances, dizziness, nausea, vomiting and extreme sensitivity to light and sound. These types of headaches can last from four hours to several days. Because modern medicine doesn’t completely understand this neurological phenomenon, the typical treatment is somewhat hit or miss. continue reading
Acupuncture for Harnessing Willpower
Ever had one of those days or weeks where you just can’t pull yourself out of bed in the morning? Or perhaps you just can’t say “No!” to the dessert tray. Regardless of the activity, willpower is what keeps some people disciplined. But it doesn’t make you a bad person if you have dessert with every meal, buy more shoes than you really need or take longer to get going in the morning. It just means your willpower isn’t strong. And just like any other habit, that can be changed. continue reading
TCM and Seasonal Affective Disorder
Seasonal Affective Disorder, also known as SAD, is a form of depression that affects people all throughout the world. Most commonly experienced during fall and winter months, the symptoms of SAD include depression, hypersomnia, lethargy, difficulty concentrating, negative thoughts and decreased social interaction. Higher levels of anxiety are experienced at the end of the summer season as those who suffer from this ailment start to anticipate the coming months of less sunshine and increased symptomatology. continue reading
Mental and Emotional Aspects of the Lungs
As an acupuncturist, I am constantly assessing. Before my patients answer a single question, I am taking in cues as to what types of imbalances might be going on. In five-element acupuncture, the five major organ systems are the kidney, liver, lung, heart and spleen. When any of these systems are out of balance, certain physical, mental and emotional issues can manifest. Even if you aren’t experiencing a specific health issue, however, you will likely display particular personality traits that fall within these five organ systems. In the five-element world, the lungs are connected to the element of metal. continue reading
Five Reasons Acupuncture Helps Reduce Stress
Stress is a word many people are familiar with. The dictionary defines stress in multiple ways, but there is only one that matters when we discuss how stress affects our physical bodies. The definition is this, “stress is a physical, chemical or emotional factor that causes bodily or mental tension.” And while most people think of stress as being detrimental, it truly does have a function in our bodies. Stress is the body’s way of signaling for help or a break in the routine. If we don’t listen to these signals, we can develop imbalances in our bodies, which can then lead to illnesses. continue reading

Acupuncture and TCM for Sprains and Strains
We’ve all heard of and maybe even experienced a sprain or a strain. But do you really know the difference? A sprain is defined as a stretch or tear of a ligament. A strain, on the other hand, is defined as an injury to a muscle or tendon. Sprains can result from a fall, a sudden twist or a blow to the body that forces a joint out of place, while a strain can happen from twisting or pulling a muscle or tendon. continue reading
