Acupuncture and what it is doing for me..



My first experience with Acupuncture was years ago and came about because I was looking for a unique Valentine gift for my husband.  My understanding was that not only is it great for general health but for specific ailments as well.  What great way to say I Love You, improving his well being.  Since our first experience of side by side treatments, we both have visited a number of different Acupuncturists.  It seems each one has had their own style, expertise and training.
Although, we thought it was interesting we didn't necessarily see huge results from the treatments.  Eventually, we stopped experimenting with receiving Acupuncture.

Now a few years have passed and a few months ago I was approached by Laila Wah, asking if we would like her to begin offering Acupuncture to our clients.   I had heard good things about Laila. even met her once years back, but still needed to experience first hand before introducing her to our clients.  Laila graciously agreed.  During the consultation, I felt so many different things; like I was with a doctor since her questions were so in depth and thorough and part of me felt like I was with the most caring friend in the world and as if that isn't good enough, I also felt comfort and confidence in her, like she was the most non judgmental therapist seeing clearly into me to help teach me what I need to do for myself to be healthier, happier and calmer.  You could say I was impressed immediately, but as a business owner, I needed to be skeptical to be sure her treatments are going to wow our clients as much as Laila's disposition was wowing me.

After assessing how she would treat me, Laila also introduced breathing exercises for me to practice while I relaxed in one of the spa's cozy, candle lit escapes.  These techniques really helped enhance my calm state of mind. 

My first treatment with Laila had a profound effect my body and emotional state.  Things were different immediately.  The insomnia I suffer from for months was gone, my monthly cycle was almost a pleasure to have and my ability to hear my body when it is asking me to slow down was much keener. 

I started to wonder if it was me that was different then when I had treatments before and that is why the results were so great.  I decided to do some more research and had a treatment with other therapist.  Turns out it wasn't the years that had passed that made the experience so different - it was Laila. 

If you are looking for ways to improve your health, reduce your stress level, fix issues like teeth grinding/tmj, back problems, you name it  - I recommend paying Laila a visit.  She is available by appointment every Monday and some Tuesdays and Sundays.
