I started seeing Tricia Beretz for a number of symptoms that I hadn't been able to get full relief from using more traditional channels. I have quite an aversion to taking a lot of medication, but I also hate needles, so acupuncture was always something I thought of, but was too scared to try. I finally took the plunge with Tricia after a friend recommended her. I still don't fully understand how it all works, but the results speak for themselves. My treatments with Tricia have given me immediate relief from chronic jaw pain that I have suffered with for years. The amount of time in between sessions that I am pain free increases each time, and when it does creep back up it is much more mild and manageable than before. Additionally, Tricia has helped reduce my back pain, both chronic and acute. She even squeezed me in when I had an acute flare up and reduced the pain in my back enough that I didn't have to miss an important meeting at work. In the past I would have been out of commission for at least 3 days. Maybe even more importantly, Tricia's acupuncture sessions have helped me learn to become comfortable being in a relaxed state and have therefore helped me manage my mood and anxiety. Experiencing relaxation on the acupuncture table has also improved my meditation and yoga practice. I have noticed improvement in other areas too including digestion, muscle tension, and sleep. As an added bonus, my skin has never been clearer. I wish I had discovered acupuncture earlier, even if for the sole reason that I don't walk around with a face full of acne anymore. Tricia has been very patient with me and is always cognizant of my fear about needles and discomfort with relaxation. She explains everything very clearly and answers all my questions. She's really cool and nice to be around. I highly recommend Tricia to anyone who has any physical, mental, or emotional ailment, as well as to anyone who just wants a little help relaxing.
