Testimonials

  • Dave A.

    I’ve had a variety of aches and pains with getting older and its started to affect me in various ways so I decided to book a new patient appointment with Dr Audrey. I was impressed with her skillset and I leave each appoinment feeling better than when I arrived. She has helped my back, neck and shoulder and does a great job explaining the treatment.

  • Nancy K.

    After my general practitioner doctor wanted to prescribe a lifelong treatment of Gabapentin for unexplained abdominal pain, I booked a New Patient with Dr. Audrey. After 10 sessions, my abdomen has completely changed; the 'knots' of nerve bundles have diminished. I know so much more about my body than I did on day one and I feel great! Dr. Audrey turned my life around, and I will be forever grateful for her practice, knowledge and care.

  • Harry A.

    My acid reflux was becoming worse and worse and the medications were not longer helping. Within 3 sessions with Dr. Audrey I went from having reflux pain everyday to maybe once a week. She gave me acupuncture and did a massage technique to release my stomach and esophagus, and now I just see her once a month for maintenance.

  • Ashley P.

    Dr. Audrey helped me have a full term pregnancy and the redemptive birth of my dreams. My first pregnancy I was hypertnesive and had to deliver early, and for my second pregnancy I was told by my doctors that I would have the same outcome. I started to have weekly acupuncture during my second and third trimester and with the help of Dr Audrey, lifestyle adjustments and acupuncture, my blood pressure was stable and I was able to carry full term.

  • Courtney M.

    Dr.Audrey is a gifted healer and is very in tune with what the body needs to heal and improve. Every step she takes in the process of a treatment is intentional and effective. She has helped with my elbow pain and stress. I can not recommend her enough!

  • Cory D.

    I've been taking my 13-year-old daughter to Dr. Audrey to help with a variety of issues from eczema to tremors and allergies. The change has been really noticeable. The tremor she had been experiencing is almost completely gone and there is a marked improvement in her eczema.

  • Tamra L.

    I had lingering shingles pain on my rib cage and back. It burned and was awful. I had one acupuncture treatment and it was gone! I am so thankful a friend of mine recommended Inner Gardener Acupuncture. She has since helped me with other complex gut issues and insomnia. Acupuncture has been so helpful.

  • James B.

    I sought treatment for tinnitus and vision changes and she recommended 6-10 sessions. After the first session I felt an improvement in the pressure behind my eyes. After the 6th treatment I noticed the spots in my eyes were not as noticeable and after the 8th treatment I realized my tinnitus was barely noticeable. I will continue treatment with Dr. Audrey, she has helped me alot.
