Testimonials

“Over ten years ago, Laurie Edgcomb helped me through the grueling process of chemotherapy and radiation for breast cancer with acupuncture, herbs, and nutrition. If it were not for Laurie’s intuitive, nurturing guidance and skill, I simply do not know how I would have gotten through that time! Whether it was for nausea, anxiety, sleeplessness, or the the overall health and vitality of my organs, Laurie helped me BEYOND WORDS and I cannot thank her enough!”

Lisa Luckenbach

“I came in for an acupuncture treatment for low back pain. During the session Laurie asked me about what happened to my calf. I told her I had been in an accident, damaging the muscle in my calf, and have been limping and in a lot of pain ever since. After receiving her treatment, I was able to go on a hike with 75% less pain, and after the treatments my leg felt softer and the numbness was relieved.”

Isabella K

“I threw my back out and was totally laid up, I could barely get out of bed without severe pain. Laurie’s treatment of acupuncture and micro-current healing calm my body, mind and muscles, enabling me to move my bones again without pain- Ahh relief. Simply put she’s a lifesaver!”
