Diane is an amazing acupuncturist! Extremely knowledgeable. She has helped me in several different ways: with chronic neck pain, back pain, and even my headaches. I can walk in with a headache, walk out and it’s gone. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to alleviate aches and pains. Thank you Diane!

Diane is the best!! I started with her after surgery for Endometriosis and she’s helped make my recovery all the better. She focuses on you as a full person not just one specific issue, so she helped me with anxiety and nervous system regulation as well. Highly recommend!

I am so grateful for the care I received. I came in struggling with hip pain, and not only did she help relieve the pain, but I also felt like she helped reset my nervous system. I left each session feeling calmer, more balanced, and more like myself. She truly listens, takes the time to understand what you're experiencing, and creates such a peaceful, supportive environment. Her knowledge, compassion, and gentle approach made all the difference. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who genuinely cares and provides exceptional acupuncture care.

Diane is an experienced Acupuncturist and also is a compassionate and curious person. I had a few ailments like GI related that were triggered after a stressful time resolve within the first few months that I started seeing her. Even though the stressor had passed, I still struggled with some of the physical ailments for half a year even though they were very slowly getting better. I also saw medical doctors that gave me good feedback, but I’m convinced that Diane pushed me into healing more fully and quickly with acupuncture and some suggested remedies and I could feel the deep rest during session.

Diane is amazing. She truly knows what she is doing and is deeply dedicated to each person she treats. She takes the time to carefully examine all of your symptoms and understand everything you need in order to help you heal.
She is also very knowledgeable about nutrition and supplements, which makes her treatments even more complete and personalized. The acupuncture she performs is truly healing. She has helped me tremendously with symptoms related to perimenopause, including severe fatigue, exhaustion, and many other issues that she paid close attention to with great care and dedication.
I have felt a huge improvement in my mood, energy levels, and overall well-being. After every session, I feel deeply relaxed, renewed, and full of energy.
Beyond her professional knowledge, she has a special gift , simply talking with her about your symptoms already makes you feel better. I highly recommend her.

Oh my goodness, where do I begin? Diane is the absolute best! I met her 7-8 years ago when I was having many health issues. She helped me so much then, and I still see her regularly as needed. She’s one of the only practitioner’s who really listens to me. She’s experienced and just knows exactly what works for my body!

I needed to find an acupuncturist closer to home so I could commit to more regular treatments, and finding Diane has been such a blessing. She has helped me tremendously with hormonal regulation and deep trauma release. After my very first session, I knew it was the right fit.
I already feel so much better and genuinely look forward to continuing my healing journey with Diane long term. She is amazing, kind, intuitive, and incredibly brilliant at what she does. I’m so grateful I found her.

Diane was referred to me by multiple people. Her energy is welcoming, she’s very kind, she takes notes and listened to my concerns. She has plenty of experience and is constantly curious. You can tell she’s passionate about what she does.
I came in with issues of my neck and tweaking it. I followed her protocol, for a few sessions. After the first treatment, I left feeling better and now am wanting to focus on maintenance and trying to get in once a month. It was also helpful that she takes insurance! Thank you Diane for treating me!

I have been receiving acupuncture treatments from Diane for back pain which was diagnosed as being due to spinal stenosis. I have obtained a great amount of relief from the treatments rendered by Diane. She has been professional, explaining the treatments and what she is doing to me. She has been very knowledgeable and has a prepared treatment plan. The environment of her treatment room is clean and pleasant which has allowed me to relax. Her manner of conversation has put me further at ease.
This therapy has improved my quality of life tremendously, and I am much more functional. I have recommended Diane to many friends!

I love Diane, she is so knowledgeable she's always keeping up on the latest procedures and treatments she really takes her time to understand what you're going through and Tailors each treatment specifically to your issues. She has really helped me with my lower back and sciatica and in just a couple treatments has mitigated the pain immensely. Her treatments are reasonable and it's nice to go to someone who really cares about helping you get better!

Diane’s practice is intentional and full of wisdom. I feel truly cared for and seen through the way she always offers a new perspective, a fresh alternative, or a creative solution to whatever I bring to her. I'm consistently inspired by how she treats her patients, with genuine attention, compassion, and a deep sense of personalization that makes each session feel uniquely tailored to me.
I'm proud to say she is my acupuncture therapist. Having relied exclusively on acupuncture for over two decades, I know what it means to find a truly skilled practitioner, and Diane is exactly that.
