Anna is wonderful — and is the only acupunturist who was able to bring me relief of chronic and very painful gastrointestinal issues. She was kind, acessible, and flexible.
She takes a very holistic approach, asking me questions each week about my lifestyle, diet, changes I was noticing, etc. I felt that she was very thoughtful and thorough. She also taught me a lot about how acupuncture works, since it was my first time.
The building and space is beautiful, too.
Anna Severn is the best! Since starting with her in Sept 2017, I have moved to monthly maintaince and I have NOT had any of my previous symptoms return!! My creaky knee is smooth (even after a 9 hr. Road trip), and all of my fingers that had trigger finger are still healed!
Anna is very honest and doesn’t try to talk you into having more treatments than needed!
