Testimonials
I first visited Emily for upper back pain. I had tried other options like massage, Chiropractic and injections. None worked for any length of time. With Emily’s treatment my upper back pain has subsided long term – for at least 2 years so far. I expect this relief to continue. As I worked with Emily over time, we also treated my GERD (acid reflux). I was on prescription strength Prilosec for several years and desired to stop taking it. Through acupuncture, herbs and other treatments like soft tissue massage, my GERD has subsided to the point that I only need to take an occasional TUMS to relieve mild reflux – especially when I eat red sauce. I have also had a decrease in headaches since seeing Emily. I (am in my 70s and) have suffered from migraines and tension headaches since my teens. But these too have substantially decreased. Judie 17/3/21 “Emily is truly a miracle worker! After complications from a hernia surgery, I was left wheelchair bound and in intolerable pain. My femoral nerve in my right leg had been damaged and I could not lift that leg at all. After just two treatments, my horrible pain was gone and I was able to walk out the treatment room under my own power. I had been living with a ton of stress and fear that my paralysis was permanent, but Emily’s healing hands saved me from a lifetime of misery. I was able to stop taking all of my pain meds and discontinue physical therapy, neither of which were giving me any real relief. I highly recommend Emily’s services and I am so grateful for all she did for me. -Gina B. Miguel is 15. He was born blind, diagnosed with Autism at 71/2 and epilepsy at 14. There are many other diagnoses, including Anxiety. After the third treatment (with Emily) I started to see significant changes and improvements (in Miguel). He was less anxious, able to sit quietly for long periods without any disruptive or inappropriate behaviors. He starting tolerating auditory input, like emergency alarms. He used his Brailler for a solid hour. His eye which normally remained close, started to open up. Others, including his Dad, friends, teachers and therapists observed more calmness and less anxiety or inappropriate tendencies. He was able to stop using his anxiety medication. We have used many forms of therapies, past and present-OT, PT, Chiropractic, Acupuncture, horseback riding, Music, SLP, massage, ABA, natural supplements and essential oils, but Emily is Extraordinary!! Knowledgeable, caring, dedicated, PATIENT, and always ready to come to the rescue. I feel fortunate and have recommended her treatments to other families. -Patricia and Miguel J. 10/15/19 As an SLP with over twenty years experience I have worked with many excellent clinicians. I immediately knew when I met Emily that she was uniquely gifted in her practice. She helps children make significant progress, teaches the family to implement the strategies and truly cares about making their lives better. When Emily is on the team, I know there will be consistent progress and growth! Rebecca S. 5/18/20 I started bringing my son into Emily for attention and emotional issues. He had been getting into quite a bit of trouble at school and it was to the point that the school was starting to say he needed to be on medication to help him focus and calm down. I have never felt like that was a solution, but also knew something needed to happen. In the first visit to Emily, she discovered very quickly he had some neurological issues that were making things harder for him to focus. With just one adjustment, he seemed like a different kid. My son has had a lot of head trauma throughout his life and I had never thought that could be why he was having a hard time focusing. Not only focusing, but also with his mental wellness. During this time he was also struggling with troubling thoughts and mental health issues. As we talked more with Emily, we learned that all of this was connected. With continued adjustments on his neck and supplements that help support what we are trying to do, my son has come such a long way. As we continue on this health journey, I have hope because of all that Emily has done to help heal my son. I've learned the body is a powerful instrument in healing itself if you give it what it needs to do so. Thank you, Emily. Jennifer R. 5/21/20
