I have been seeing Lara for over 5 years and I cannot recommend her enough. Over the years she has become an integral part of my preventative health care routine. She has helped me with many health issues including, balancing my hormones, digestive issues, and aches and pains. Each appointment I feel heard and cared for and leave feeling more balanced. I feel so lucky to have found her and be able to recommend her to friends!

Lara listens thoughtfully and allows you to be as engaged as you'd like in your care. Weather you're new to acupuncture, scared of needles, or experienced and looking for someone to integrate different approaches, she's got my highest recommendation! Lara has helped me through deep valleys and has my utmost trust. I can't recommend her enough.

I have been a patient of Lara's on and off for the last four years. Lara has supported my healing on so many levels. I have suffered from lower back pain, disc issues and various types of pulled muscles from my years of being an athlete. I have always felt an incredible benefit from Lara's treatment of Acupuncture. I really appreciate her as a professional. Lara is calm, sincere and highly knowledgeable. I like that she can also advise people around using herbs. I feel like I learn something new every time I visit her office. I also love how quiet and relaxing it is in the treatment room. I always drift off to another world during my sessions. I highly recommend Lara for all your Acupuncture needs!

I’ve been going to Lara for years! She’s fantastic!! Lara has intuitive knowledge of the body and provides a super supportive environment. I always feel “reset” after an acupuncture session and my physical body generally feels lighter. She’s wonderful at what she does!
