"I turned to acupuncture after years of suffering from infertility. My husband and I had already gone through 3 failed hormone treatments and our fertility doctor had given up on us. I was a "bad statistic." My hopes were crushed and the sadness that followed started to affect every aspect of my life. It was then that I turned to acupuncture. A friend referred me to Deb. She had also gone to her practice for help with her fertility and had succeeded in getting pregnant. From our first meeting, I felt relieved. Deb was kind and understanding. She did not promise to get me pregnant, but reassured me that there was something I could do to improve my health and well being, and through that process also prepare my body and mind to "call my family," as Deb would put it. I understood that the process of healing went beyond focusing on one particular hormone level or blood test result. It required rebalancing my priorities and putting in perspective all the good things in life I could be thankful for. After only a few months of acupuncture, we conceived naturally a healthy baby girl. I continued with acupuncture through my first trimester and enjoyed an incredibly smooth pregnancy. My daughter is now 7 months old and the sunshine of our lives. I will forever be thankful."

"I came to Deb with insomnia, nausea, poor digestion, body aches, anxiety, early onset menopause and mild depression -- I had been diagnosed with an aggressive breast cancer and was in my second month of weekly chemotherapy infusion. I couldn't take it any more and needed help. I had never tried acupuncture before, but knew that I needed support if I was going to make it through the cancer treatments. Deb was so welcoming and calm, she reassured me and won my confidence. I still recall how thrilled I was after my first treatment -- to finally feel relief from the side-effects but also to have a renewed hope that I really was going to be ok. That was more than a year ago. Now I'm happy to report that I'm cancer-free! Even after the chemotherapy, surgery and radiation, I continue to see Deb regularly to help with some of the more long-term effects of the cancer treatments and also because I feel peace when I am in her care. Whether it's the Chinese herbs, the acupunture or her gift for listening and insightful chats -- Deb is a healer through and through. I feel immense gratitude for Deb's participation in my recovery, health and well being. If like me, you are going through cancer treatments -- or even if you're just looking for a significant boost in your journey of greater health -- I would highly recommend Deb Earley Acupuncture for you."

“I started seeing Deb in March 2009 for paralyzing and frequent migraine headaches. I had tried every other avenue of western medicine to no avail, and was desperate for even just a tiny bit of relief from my migraines. A friend recommended that I try acupuncture. I was hesitant at first because I'd never gone the "alternative medicine" route before, and was skeptical that acupuncture really worked. However, I did my research into acupuncturists, and Deb came highly recommended by a number of sources. Deb Early literally changed my life. Slowly but surely, I began to see a decrease in both the severity and frequency of my migraines, and today - less than a year later - my migraines no longer disrupt my life. Deb taught me techniques to use when I feel a migraine coming on that will stop it in its tracks, and also helped me clean up my diet so that my body could heal itself so that I'd have fewer migraines to begin with. I went from having nearly 15 migraines a month, to now only having 1 or 2, which I can control without the use of prescription medicine. I feel the healthiest I have even been in my life and I can't recommend Deb enough for affecting this positive change. I only wish I had gone to her sooner, so that I could have avoided all the years I suffered with debilitating migraine headaches.”

"I was having a lot of trouble getting pregnant. Although I was seeing a western medicine fertility specialist, I felt that there was something missing from the treatment he prescribed. But the first time I met with Deb I began to feel better – more optimistic, more proactive, just healthier. I soon noticed a physical difference in my body, as well, as my blood flow increased and my energy returned. Three months after beginning treatment with Deb, I was pregnant. While the acupuncture might not have been the only reason that we were able to conceive, it was certainly an important mental and physical component of the solution."

"Through Deb's skill and knowledge, I've come from being a bit stand-offish about acupuncture, to realizing how urgently I was needing to listen to the various parts of my body recite their "Declaration of Interdependence". Deb's acupucture work is more than just healing a problem here or there, it is about enabling your full personal health and radiance. So, stop, listen, focus, explore, heal, and really live."

"For me acupuncture has been one way to balance my energy to allow my body to work more efficiently – much like the gym, and a good night’s rest. I see Deb every few weeks for a 'tune-up' and the treatments always help me with whatever is bothering me at that moment. Whether I need an energy boast, stress reduction, or cold/flu recovery the treatments have really helped. I remember one year I had strange muscle twitches in my hand that wouldn’t go away for weeks and I came in and saw Deb for one treatment and the twitching disappeared."

"I believe in the healing power of acupuncture. My work with Deb resulted in almost immediately relief of the chronic stress-induced shoulder and neck pain that I had lived with for years. Continued sessions brought balance to my digestive system and calmed the acid-reflux that I was battling on a daily basis. While western approaches to digestive problems seek only to address the symptoms by controlling acid production in the stomach, acupuncture herbs helped restore the overall health of my digestive system as a whole and allowed me to discard completely the antacids that had become part of my daily life. I’ve encourage many friends to explore the healing benefits of acupuncture therapy."

"I have had chronic back pain for a majority of my life and found acupuncture is my biggest relief. After visiting numerous acupuncturist I was introduced to Deb Early. Once I completed my first appointment I knew this is who I needed to work with in order to progress my health and explore holistic avenues. I have never met an acupuncturist who takes so much time and pleasure in really understanding their patient not just the problem. She did such a good job I have sent my entire family to her. I have been with her for two years now and have never felt better."

"After hearing a friend praise the success she had with acupuncture, I decided to try it for my hot flashes which had been increasing and definitely affecting my sleep and work patterns. I was unable to reduce or eliminate the frequency and intensity of my hot flashes with over the counter treatments, and I didn’t want to go on hormone replacement therapy. After meeting with Deb a few times, my hot flashes significantly subsided and I was able to sleep through the night and perform at work. I highly recommend acupuncture for many ailments that are not treatable with traditional medicine. Deb has been a wonderful caregiver and supporter. Acupuncture is now a regular part of my life."

"I first began treatment with Deb Earley in early 2009. At the time I was in woeful condition, both mentally and physically -- suffering from stress, exhaustion, and chronic stomach problems. One year later I can say that though the path has not been quick or easy, I am significantly stronger -- and without the side-effects that so often accompany western medicine. Deb is a caring professional whose initial interview with a client covers substantial ground. Thereafter, she builds on her knowledge of the individual, taking time at each subsequent visit to acquaint herself with the latest challenges in the person's life. Using that data, plus her well-developed intuition, she can detect possible causes of recurring problems. Besides her array of treatments (acupuncture, moxabustion, and herbs), she offers supplementary suggestions on diet and relaxation techniques which can help hasten physical progress. Among Deb's strengths is a knowledge of Chinese herbal medicine which surpasses that of some Chinese physicians I have encountered. Whether one is suffering from gastritis, constipation, anxiety or oncoming flu, Deb can readily concont a formula which brings relief. Further, as noted above, these herbs generally do not result in the side effects so common to western medicine because the Chinese system foresees and adjusts for the body's often conflicting needs. One feature which distinguishes Chinese medicine is that because it acts at a subtle level, it tends to put the individual in touch with his or her own subtle-level problems -- often emotional -- which undermine health. This naturally leads the client to a deeper exploration of those lifestyle and relationship concerns needing to be brought into line with the efforts being made physically. In my own case, the attempt to regain physical health has led to an ongoing and complementary process of talking and breathing therapies."
