Testimonials

Acupuncture with Trish has been an amazing experience that has transformed my life in a few key ways. Our conversations and the acupuncture itself has helped me re-focus my attention on my body, which I had neglected and mistreated for years. It helped me makea number of lifestyle changes that have led to a better quality of life: doing yoga again, quitting a draining community board, scheduling time for reflection, better eating and sleeping habits. The way Trish uses acupuncture and philosophy behind it has also helped me re-frame difficult situations in my life and allowed me see them in a more positive, forgiving light. And acupuncture has increased my energy and ability to focus — especially during the winter months when my energy is usually very low.”

I have been in treatment with Trish Twiford since May 2009 (and the journey continues!). In my treatments with Trish I am learning more than I ever imagined that I could or would from acupuncture. She has been a vehicle in helping me understand that treatment is about aiding my physical body in operating in its optimal state – supporting me in achieving day-to-day goals, dreams and healing. She has been my teacher, helping me to practice ‘living in the now’, self observation and using empowering language. The treatment plan that Trish is implementing for me as a uniqe individual and body provide a safe place for me to practice creating a balanced and fulfilling life.”

I initially sought out acupuncture to alleviate a specific pain in my abdomen. However, I soon realized the power of acupuncture was greatly beyond that of a pain killer or temporary bandage. Through the help of my Tai Sophia student practitioners and supervisors, I have quickly discovered that my body as a whole was capable of great healing when it was not interrupted, and instead supported, by my mind. To make this possible, my sessions at the clinic include well-tuned acupuncture treatments, nutrition advice, thoughts on self-reflection and relationships, and a professional yet compassionate atmosphere. It is rare to find such an experience that offers relief, healing, and personal growth. I am most grateful.”
