The acupuncture treatments with Raven have helped immensely in avoiding knee replacement which a surgeon said would be necessary. The acupuncture needles themselves do not hurt, but other practitioners are not as delicate and smooth as Raven. I went eight times and continue to return for maintenance. I enjoy the calm, relaxing way I feel during and after treatment. It's more than worth the drive down from Statesville!

Raven took such amazing care of me in each session -- I always felt safe and comfortable and in capable, healing hands. Her needle insertion was so gentle, I barely felt them. She has a real gift for putting people at ease and listening closely to what they're saying as well as what they're not saying.
