ACUPUNCTURE AS PREVENTIVE/WELLNESS MEDICINE 

"Fatimah's exceptional natural talent and professionalism are the key factors you look for in an acupuncturist.  Her care and knowledge of her practice have brought my well being to a level I never thought possible.  The acupuncture treatments have helped me nurture my spiritual and physical state allowing me to have a new appreciation for my life.  I highly recommend her to others in need!"

ACUPUNCTURE FOR ANXIETY, DEPRESSION, AND STRESS

"I relied on antidepressants and anxiety medication for over 10 years.  My decision to get off of them was sparked by a dual force of wanting to become a mother and a fear of what the chemicals were doing to my body over time*...After my first meeting and treatment with Fati, I understood why her reputation preceded her.  She gave me a sense of hope by providing the tools I needed to feel whole.  She provides a tremendous level of guidance and insight as a part of her treatment that is absolutely priceless.  Each session helps me achieve a physical and spiritual balance that is vital for optimum health.  I am coping with my anxiety in a way that is not only effective, but empowering.  I am so incredibly grateful to M. Fatimah and the impact she has had on my life and well being.

ACUPUNCTURE FOR CHRONIC PAIN

"I visited Fatimah's practice for several months while I was battling chronic hip pain.  At the time, I only had my hip pain in mind, however, Fatimah's practice focuses on treating the whole person, and I was astonished by what a positive impact the treatment had on multiple facets of my life.

I was surprised to see that acupuncture really helped me emotionally.  I had been under a lot of stress, and I was unhappy at my job and with my environment.  When I walked home after treatments, I felt much better emotionally.  I think that treatment helped give me some of the courage and self-assurance I needed to make positive changes in my life.  I undertook more activities that were important to me, and I started attracting relationships and friends that shared more of my values than many of my past friendships.  After some time, I also had the courage to leave my job, and I am now doing work that is much more rewarding.   Most importantly, my hip pain has largely subsided.  During our treatments, Fatimah always said that my hip pain was also an analogy for the struggles I was going through in choosing my life path.  I think that her acupuncture treatments were one of the elements that helped me reset my course in a better direction.  I am very grateful for her love and wisdom."

ACUPUNCTURE FOR ACUTE PAIN AND INJURIES

"I was treated by Fatimah several years ago, which was my introduction to acupuncture; I entered the process as a skeptic, concerned mostly with the pragmatic effects of the treatment (i.e., I did not think it could help me deal with the physiological problems I had after a traumatic injury and the resultant surgeries), but I left as a firm believer in her abilities to provide help and relief.

After my first full treatment session with Fatimah I noticed immediate and permanent improvement in mobility and pain-relief (in my broken and repaired foot), and the following sessions contributed to my overall recovery and sense of well being.  

Fatimah is a kind, caring individual who's intuitive approach to the practitioner-patient relationship creates an atmosphere that is conducive to healing and peace; I would recommend her practice to anyone interested in "feeling better," whether they are a believer in traditional/holistic medicine or a skeptic who adheres to the Allopathic medical paradigm that is dominant in the United States/the West."

ACUPUNCTURE FOR CHRONIC DISEASE

"My diagnosis from 'conventional doctors' was alcohol-induced liver failure and anemia.  I was basically given about a year to live with my liver or a slim chance of a transplant.  My first meeting with Fatimah was the start of a journey that would radically change my life and my perceptions.  Over the course of treatment I began to discover my own spirituality, I became more positive in my thinking, followed a better diet for myself, and changed my sleep habits.  Proof positive came six weeks after we started treatment.  My first full blood test came back to my doctor, and my scores were at least twenty-five percent better across the board.  A year into treatment, my liver is now considered 'normal'  and I am no longer in need of a transplant.  For me, Fatimah's expertise as an acupuncturist, and her wisdom as a physical and spiritual coach transcend conventional medicine."
-M.M.

ACUPUNCTURE FOR PERSONAL GROWTH AND TRANSFORMATIVE WORK

"Few experiences have been equally transformational as my treatments with Fatimah.  From the initial consultation, she inspired my complete trust in her ability and integrity.  In the treatment space she created - which manifested as a space of partnership, friendship, and discovery - I felt supported to take on forms of healing and exploration that seemed overwhelming in the past.  I am convinced she possesses wisdom far greater than her years.  Her insight and encouragement empowered me to pursue new possibilities in the most important areas of my life...in areas related to pivotal professional decisions, addictions, and intimacy.  She helped me to revel in new facets of my heart and voice, but I am confident that whatever her patient's concerns are, she would serve as tremendous support."

"My immediate feelings after a session with Fati always include a feeling of peacefulness and a sense of feeling lighter and clearer...I have realized that acupuncture is so much more than needling; it is a healing for the mind and body."
-S.B.

"It has been a blessing to personally experience the benefit of her treatments, and it will be a great pleasure to witness her blossom further by spreading wellness to others.  Fatimah seems to continually evolve with her patients, which indicates her boundless potential to contribute to both her patients and colleagues." 
-J.B.

With each person, results are unique.  Acupuncture is consistent is this regard, however: when it is delivered with skill and intentionality it provides your body with the appropriate signals to maintain balance and/or recover from illness.
