"For over 5 years I experienced chronic back pain that radiated through my arms and down to my hands. After years of misdiagnosis and countless doctors and physical therapy appointments, my family recommended I see Amy. Amy talked to me for over an hour on our first visit. We talked about my diet, activity level and awareness of my body, areas of pain and my emotional state. This was the exact opposite from the inattention I had received from previous MDs. I was used to doctors who barely seemed to listen during the 10 minutes they allowed me and finished by writing me a prescription.

When I met Amy I immediately felt her overwhelming compassion and interest in my situation. After only 3 months I feel that my life has significantly changed. I listen to my body where as before I ignored it. Amy is a healer. My pain level has decreased so that I have a huge chunk of my life back."

"I have Ulcerative Colitis and was looking for alternatives since my GI doctors only have one answer…meds. Amy was recommended by a friend who also has colitis. In treatment, I feel both my mind and body were addressed, my tendencies toward anxiety and depression, and my low back issues! I feel more connected to my body than I ever have in my life. I have a new respect for my body and this has helped me become more balanced in my head and heart. Amy is amazing. I feel heard and valued. The treatment she gives is individualized and thoughtful. I appreciate her direct and easy communication. She is a superb doctor, an expert in her field."

"Amy Darling went beyond what I imagined could be done. She cured my anxiety when others failed."

"I had tremendous foot pain that I could bear to suffer any long. I had swollen bunions so painful walking hurt. I really didn't believe that a pill or surgery could be the answer.

I immediately connected with Amy. She always provides me a safe place to discuss freely, but has a good way of helping me see things in ways that I may not have initially thought about. One of my biggest surprises was how many other areas that could be improved with acupuncture.  I came through the door for my sore feet, but I left with a whole new outlook on my constipation, my red skin, my interrupted sleep patterns, and my work stress. I used to pay the same money that I do for acupuncture at the Spa for facials or massages.  I can honestly say that I have never left a massage or a facial feeling the peacefulness that I do when I leave acupuncture. The cool part is that it went beyond my expectations. I am so thankful to have found a treatment that meets so many of my needs."

"Amy applies a holistic approach that embraces and honors my body, mind and spirit.

I respect and treasure her work."

"When I began seeing Amy, I was a MESS! I was in incredible pain with a knee replacement that was driving me crazy and an Achilles repair that was on fire. I had basically given up. After spending thousands of dollars, my surgeons ran test after test and offering only more surgery. I turned to acupuncture and Amy.

Instantly on my first meeting with Amy I felt her incredible ability to listen and understand. We started treatments and I started to feel the positive affects of acupuncture, East Asian Medicine, and Amy.  I began a new approach with my life which included a commitment to lose weight and eat healthy, live healthy. Over the last year I have lost 75lbs with Amy's encouragement, and am completely pain free.

I continue to see Amy monthly for maintenance. I recommend her highly and have no doubt that her approach works!"

"I was having 3-4 migraines a month. Now, they are completely gone. Amy looks at the whole picture when treating someone's health issues, and I've gone from unhealthy to vital."

"Amy performed wonders. I no longer have the aches and pains of Fibromyalgia that led my Western doctor to throw up his hands in frustration. Also, my digestion has improved immensely, sinus problems that led to previous sinus surgery are at a minimum, and my lifelong asthma is significantly better. With a unique understanding of Chinese Medicine filtered through a Western {medical} sensibility that imbues trust with patients like me, she performed wonders."

"I'd been to chiropractors and physical therapists, but found no relief for chronic lower back pain. Amy helped me get rid of my back pain, and has done what other "specialists" couldn't do. She is a total mind/body practitioner, and is truly amazing."

"I went to Amy ostensibly for menopausal symptoms at a time in my life when I was filled with grief, sadness and trauma. She nourished not only my depleted body, but my whole self--my energy, emotional and spiritual lives.  She is a consummate professional and a natural healer."

"Since starting acupuncture treatments with Amy I sleep better, have less anxiety, and I'm more relaxed overall. I've also gained a better understanding of my body and feel more in synch with my natural rhythms. Hurray!"

"For years, I suffered with maladies and pains that traditional medicine could not cure or cure only with powerful medications, which had their own adverse side effects. I researched and turned to Amy Darling for treatment. I experienced virtually immediate relief from joint pain, sinus congestion, gastrointestinal problems and experienced boost to mood and energy.  

I cannot thank Amy enough, for her sincere caring and compassionate attitude, and the success of her treatment plan for me." 

"I came to Amy with black circles under my eyes from lack of sleep, continued weight loss, and inability to keep food down even liquids such as ginger ale. I was scared and wondered if my regular life would ever return after the back surgery I'd gone through. I was on antibiotics to prevent an infection of Mrsa. I had one of the worst cases of thrush the doctors had ever seen from the medication I'd taken. My stomach and bowels weren't functioning normally.

Amy listened with her head, heart, and her wisdom. How needles could open up and heal my nerves, digestion, and skyrocketing emotions is a mystery, but they led to huge positive changes and that, to me, is a miracle. All I can say is that acupuncture worked. Within weeks I was back to teaching students 5-11 years old for eight hours a day. The foundation of my teaching is a healthy integration of social, physical, mental, spiritual, and environmental components to support wellness. Amy has supported my total well being in each of these areas."

"Acupuncture has made me feel wonderful and alive. Amy dealt with my diet and fertility issues. She also a great listener, and really hears your concerns."

"I saw Amy for pneumonia and fatigue which had become chronic. Instantly, I felt comfortable with Amy's firm, kind confidence and extensive knowledge. 

Amy listened carefully, considered many aspects of my health and life, and treated my case with excellent results.  After several treatments I was well on the way to a full recovery, where all previous treatments had failed. 

Thank you Amy!"

"I had ongoing menstrual challenges. I'd been trying hormone replacement therapy, along with other treatments, but all of these left me feeling depleted, or caused unwanted weight gain. After only a few visits, Amy got my menstrual cycle back on track. Amy's holistic approach revealed deeper health improvement needs that I was barely aware of—including working on high stress levels, sleep challenges, and neck and jaw problems. She has given me both relief from pain and a renewed belief in alternative medicine. Now I notice my red flags when they arise, and I'm a better mother, partner, and employee. Since seeing Amy I'm more in tune with my body and better to myself."

Eileen arrived with the worst case of whole body psoriasis I have seen in clinic. Her arms, legs, back and abdomen were covered with thick, fissured plaques.

"I suffered for a number of years, and had been to a lot of western doctors seeking relief by taking prescribed medication, in addition to receiving monthly injections. My husband suffered along with me for years. Amy’s treatments focused on addressing my psoriasis and my overall health. She asked key questions to find out more about stress levels I dealt with at work and home. The results have been amazing. I will occasionally have a small flare-up, but it is nothing compared to the debilitating psoriasis I used to have, and my overall health has greatly improved."
