I initially sought treatment for profuse sweating and stress management. The acupuncture treatments have been very relaxing. This has been a great place for me to peacefully unwind. In addition, the acupuncture and herbal medicine remedies have been working and overall positive. Over the course of four months, my profuse sweating has reduced significantly by 75% and I have become more mindful of how my body reacts to stress, thus allowing me to be more conscious of carving out time in my day for self-care. Additionally, Janet has given me brief exercises to help me with managing stress. I would definitely recommend Janet for acupuncture and herbal medicine. It is a more natural and holistic way to approaching health than the use of drugs.

A few years ago, October of 2005, I wrenched my shoulder. Because I was young and busy, I didn’t think much of it. To be blunt, I just thought that it would get better over time, like everything else. Unfortunately, the longer I went without treatment, the more and more it began to hurt. The pain radiates down my arm and my back. It was too much for me, so I decided to take some action. Fortunately, for me, I had another friend who suggested I try acupuncture, and recommended Janet specifically. When I first arrived, I explained how I was injured, and we went through a set of tests that demonstrated how limited my range of motion was. She took the time to ask what triggers might have an effect on it, and we talked about what I thought would and wouldn’t happen with the session. I could barely lift my arm outward. As a result, I’ve managed to increase my range of motion and to severely decrease the pain in my back and shoulder. I’m no longer in constant pain. Because I waited so long before I sought help for my injury, I know that it’s going to take an equally long time before I’m healed, but I also know that if it weren’t for the acupuncture, and for Janet, I wouldn’t be in the place I am now.

I initially sought treatment for back discomfort and a general sluggish feeling. Janet is very thorough in her initial consultation. She does a complete medical history background and changes up the treatments to optimize the results. She always starts each session with figuring out what has been going on with me since our last appointment. This way she can tailor the treatment around what is affecting me, which may be different than what was going on previously. As a result, I feel energized after receiving treatment from Janet. Physically, I feel much better and it has opened me up to utilize Chinese medicine towards a healthier lifestyle and overall well-being. She is easy going, non-judgmental, and is always concerned about changes in diet, stress levels and any other outside factors affecting your body. Janet genuinely has your interest at heart. Also, the location is great. It is just a few blocks from the office and visits can be taken at lunch.

I am female, 68 years old and I initially sought treatment for sharp headaches on the right side of my head, ear, and shoulder blade down to the lower ribs. The pain wouldn’t go away with pain reliever pills. What I have found is that it so interesting that without drugs I can say too I am 75% cured (of course as long as I abide by what I learned from your advices and treatment). How I wish people taking drugs now should come to you first. To me, this kind of treatment should be recommended to others. As a result, I can enjoy my days without the non-stop pain. Thanks for being an excellent, caring, and loving acupuncturist. May you continue to be great in serving the community!

My first visit to Janet Co was a last resort to the deepening quest for major stress relief in my life. I was a wreck, so to speak. I was in pain from a sprained ankle, out of control with my diet, shallow breathing was a norm. I was a mess. Janet eased me into the first session and I immediately felt a peace and knew I was where I needed to be. I felt relief after the first session, and now six sessions later I am a mere fragment of that mess that first showed up on Janet\'s doorstep. Acupuncture is the best method of stress relief. This is coming from a former spa manager and daughter of a clinical dietitian/homeopathic certified expert. I\'ve had a chronic illness my entire life and have lived with pain for several years. This is not my first time with acupuncture. Janet is excellent!
