We have over 25 years experience in the healthcare industry, providing acupuncture, massage, aromatherapy, Reiki and NAET (Nambudripad Allergy Elimination Technique), in a relaxed, caring and compassionate manner for all creatures, great and small. We offer alternative healthcare for humans and their critters.
We are specializing in orthopedic conditions (frozen shoulder, musculoskeletal injury rehab., sports medicine), women's health (fertility, menopause), stress relief, children's issues (ADD/ADHD, test anxiety), and allergy relief.
Treatments are tailored to meet the needs of every individual. Non-insertive styles of acupuncture are used for the 'needle sensitive' patient.
Customers love the extra-special care and attention they are given. One comment was 'why do you call it Between Heaven n Earth? Why not just call it heaven?'
Patients love the transition they feel from stressed and harried when they arrive, to a sense of serenity and well-being when they leave.
Question and answer
Q. What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
A. Call the provider and talk to them to see if you think you and the provider will be able to work well together. Check out their web pages and ask around as to what others think about the type of service as related to your reason for seeking the service.
Stop in for a visit and give the provider a 'test drive'. Remember that using acupuncture or massage is not a 'McDonald's cure'...you should have at least 3 treatments to know if you are moving in the direction you had hoped to move. Communicate with hte practitioner so that sh/e may provide you with the excellent care you deserve!
Q. If you were a customer, what do you wish you knew about your trade? Any inside secrets to share?
A. Acupuncturists are extremely well-educated. The field is entry-level masters and is a four year degree beyond the bachelor's (amounting to well over 2,000 hours). Science courses thru bio-chem. as well as 6 trimesters of western bio-medicine are among the requirements for a degree in acupuncture.
Acupuncture is virtually painless---not more than a mosquito bite. Only sterile single-use needles are used...some acupuncturists are trained in non-insertive styles of acupuncture.
A well-trained massage therapist should have more than 600 hours of training from an accredited massage school!
Q. What questions should a consumer ask to hire the right service professional?
A. What can I expect? How will I know if I am moving in the right direction? Do you keep written records of my treatments and progress? Am I allowed to have input into my treatment? How often do you do a chart review with your patients? Am I allowed to have a copy of my file? Do you keep paper or electronic records? Who has access to those records? How is my information kept confidential?
