Tom is a very calming and amazing acupuncturist. I went in for physical pain, but her was able to help with my anxiety, depression, happiness. I was shocked at well it worked for me.

Report
A few days ago I injured myself pulling out some very stubborn weeds (rye grass) in my garden. The pain was so intense that I winced nearly every time the effected muscles were touched or used. By the time I was on my way in to the Turning Point Center for my massage, I was not able to breathe deeply without experiencing pain in my chest. Half way through my Thai massage with Amanda I suddenly realized that the pain was gone.
Not better. Gone. Hours later (after hours spent on the computer at work) I can feel the slightest twinge if I repeat the movement that caused the injury but otherwise am pain free. Thank you Amanda!
