Testimonials
I came to Erin at Solstice Natural Health about 5 months ago. Having had successful treatments before, I thought I knew what to expect. I was wrong, she is so much more than a Acupuncturist! A born healer! We spend quite a bit of the time talking. She has a naturally friendly and calming bedside manner. She REALLY listens! After experiencing the routine eye roll and dismissive attitudes I experienced from my Family Practitioners, it has been overwhelmingly welcome change to have someone respectfully listen and give credit to, knowing my own body. Erin’s supportive care has done wonders for my ongoing pain, GI issues, and the unfortunate hormonal imbalance from being peri menopausal. I have been under her care for a few months now and cannot explain in words alone, the help she has been to me. Highly recommend! I haven’t seen this much improvement in my over all health with ANY western approach. I feel more balanced. I have more energy, I have less migraines and overall less pain! I have given up my pain meds and am living a more active and healthier life. If it wasn’t for Erin, I would still be anxious, depressed, on pain meds and still in pain!
This review is WAY overdue! I have a two month old baby and started seeing Erin when I was 12 weeks pregnant. At the time I was suffering from some awful morning sickness and went to her out of desperation. To be honest, I wasn’t confident that her treatments would give me much, if any, relief but let me tell you after the first appointment I was feeling so much better! I had my good days/weeks and bad but I saw Erin religiously throughout my entire pregnancy. She was able to help with everything from morning sickness, to heartburn, back and hip pain, and anxiety! Not to mention she is incredibly caring and easy to talk to. You can tell that she is very knowledgeable and genuinely cares about people. At the end of my pregnancy, my little babe was 5 days late and (at my wits end) with the threat of drug induction, I went to Erin for acupuncture induction. I am certain that her treatment helped me go into labor which happened the very next day! She’s highly recommended!!
