I am double happy. 5 Star Rating - World class

Christine is amazing. Through acupuncture, abdominal massage, and some herbs I feel cured. My story is that after time spent in Southeast Asian ten years ago I had parasites. I got rid of those nasty buggers after my return to the States but stomach had never been the same. Double Happiness is what I got. I really appreciate Christine's integrative approach to healing. I will be recommending her to my friends and clients.

Listens well, asks good questions, gives great treatments 5 Star Rating - World class

I have used Dr. Friel twice in the past three months. The first time, she helped solve a lower back problem using acupuncture. I wasn't sure I wanted acupuncture, but she listened to my concerns, answered my questions and went slowly, always making sure I was comfortable. A month-long problem disappeard in three days.

I also had a bad case of the headcold that was going around in May. She gave me some Chinese medicine, one for daytime and other for nighttime. Again, my problem went away in a couple of days.

While her warmth and generosity are evident immediately, where she really earns her repeat business is through her professionalism. She is knowledgeable, thorough and results oriented. What a relief to have discovered her.

Pros: Easy parking! :-) What a bonus. Plus, the "clinic" is wonderfully relaxing.

Christine has a huge heart and really cares about my health 5 Star Rating - World class

I hate needles and used to break out in a cold sweat just thinking about it. Christine has helped me to feel more relaxed and take a different view of needles. I really enjoy my sessions and we are making some great progress. Thank You Christine!
