Naturally Healing Through Chinese Medicine 25+ Years

Andrea is the sweetest and kindest person.  She is the only one that took away my chronic pain.  The acupuncture she does helped me mentally and physically.  When you've had Andrea there is no one else that can compare to her.  Believe me!  I have tried to find just one acupuncturist that was as good as Andrea and they're just not out there.  When she took care of me she did the acupuncture treatments and also massage and the two combinations did wonders for me.  I could no longer use chiropractors because they just were excruciating pain for me.  But Andrea never hurt me and I am sensitive, but she was marvelous.

​ Unfortunately, she does not live in the state of Florida - she lives in North Carolina, and this is my problem.  Because if she lived in Florida, I'd be her first customer.  God bless your business Andrea and thank you for taking care of me.
