"You
are my most tickly doctor."
~Garold S.
Age 7 1/2 "I
was reluctant to try acupuncture but had a great experience at Good Health
Acupuncture and highly recommend Ann-Marie Yeager's practice!!"
"Thank you for introducing me to Acupuncture. Though I do a lot of
energy work through yoga, I found that Acupuncture is a good combination
with yoga for well-being. I find the treatments not only relaxing and
renewing, but balancing as well. I appreciate your soothing energy when
performing Acupuncture. Thank you for taking that sticky coat off my tongue
and recommending a once monthly wellness visit." "In May of 2006, I had my first anxiety attack. I was prescribed an anti-anxiety medication, by my doctor. I didn’t have any more attacks after that and was hoping this was a one time thing. Two weeks later my world came crashing down around me, due to a very stressful week. After that the anxiety attacks were constant. My doctor prescribed me antidepressants to stop the attacks. I soon learned that my body rejected the medication; I had serious side affects with every antidepressant I tried. I was so sick from the combination of medications and constant anxiety attacks that I stopped doing everything. I could not be by myself, someone always had to be with me. I was no longer able to drive, and go to most places. I became a prisoner in my own body, I feared that I would never get well again. Medical doctors told me there was nothing more they could do for me, and I would just have to figure out a way to accept my illness and learn to live with it. I went to see Ann-Marie after my husband suggested acupuncture. Ann-Marie has saved my life. I have come so far with her help, I am so much better physically and emotionally. I can now stay home by myself and take care of my children, I am also able to drive again. I am not 100% well, but I am on my way to getting my life back. I owe this all to Ann-Marie, she has never once given up on me. She is my hero!!!" ~Kimberly
S. "For
many years I could only turn my head to a certain point without having
pain in my neck/shoulder area. After one acupuncture treatment from Ann
Marie, the pain was gone and it has never returned. She also treated and
removed pain in my heels. Thank you Ann-Marie-You are amazing." "...
Not only did Ann-Marie assist me in my goal of the cessation of smoking,
but it also helped me to not gain my weight through the process." I had
my daughter treated by Ann-Marie for overall health. She was sick much
of the time she was at school. Ann-Marie's treatment kept my daughter
so much healthier this year. We will be back." "Ms
Yeager has helped both my husband and I with acupuncture. I experienced
a cluster of migraines that significantly decreased after treatment. My
husband had a serious fall that affected his neck, arm and back. The treatments
given by Ms Yeager gave him range of movement almost immediately and he
did not suffer any long range problems." "I have had pain in my knees since I was about 12 years of age from running, basketball, ranching, arthritis etc. From the first acupuncture treatment the pain in my knees began to decrease. The “river” sensation running through my leg was very relaxing (Ann-Marie calls is Qi). It has now been five very WONDERFUL months since my knee pain was relieved with acupuncture!!!" ~Mary Lou
Z. Age 53 "I
have horrible pain every month and this month it just happened to fall
on the day I was going in to get acupuncture. About an hour after my session
with Ann-Marie, the pain was completely gone, along with the nausea, dizziness,
and irritability. Also I have the beginning of carpal tunnel and I noticed
less pain for longer periods of time after just 3 sessions, and it continues
to get better. Ann-Marie has helped me so much, I can't even describe.
~Chelsea "I came to “Good Health Acupuncture” as a vital link to managing chronic back pain, fatigue and insomnia. I was searching every avenue to be proactive for my health. Western medicine had left me with a medicine cabinet full of pills and no significant improvement. I began my journey with an alternative M.D. who manages chronic medical problems such as chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia and IBS. The whole philosophy is to support the body’s ability to heal or improve itself. I also incorporated chiropractics and massage therapy. My next step in healing was acupuncture. In four short weeks my back pain became very manageable. I have learned to listen to my body instead of ignoring the obvious signs that I am pushing too hard. I feel less internal tension. As Ann-Marie put it, “you have the gas petal and the brake on at the same time.” I have found the clinic to be a place that gives back to my body what the day takes away from my health and spirit. I am very grateful for Ann-Marie’s expertise as a gifted acupuncturist." ~Eileen S. "My
acupuncture sessions with Ann-Marie began in August 2005. I have osteo-arthritis
in my hands and the pain and stiffness had progressively worsened. We
started with a weekly session and by the third visit the pain and stiffness
had lessened and continues to decrease with her therapy.
Ann-Marie is very calming, engaging and playful, letting Ian determine how and when things happened, never forcing anything, and attentive to his reactions. Ann-Marie
introduced me to my son – the real him!"
Ann-Marie
has a wonderful way with kids. Jackie took to her instantly and was literally
jumping into her arms and eagerly awaiting the next tool. Her favorite
was the moxa. Jackie kept asking for more tap, tap, tap and moxa. Ann-Marie
came over about three o’clock and left after twenty minutes. I was
in awe of the whole process. Jackie usually acts timid when she is around
new people and Ann-Marie was an instant friend! When Ann-Marie left, I
decided to read to Jackie. She sat in my lap and was asleep within five
minutes! I was amazed – this has never happened! Ann-Marie has treated
Jackie a few more times and her sleep has definitely regulated! Thank
you Ann-Marie!” “A
few months ago I was in an accident where I fell off my bike and broke
my leg. I was told that I would have about a two month recovery period.
I heard from a friend that acupuncture would help, not only reduce the
swelling, but the pain as well. I heard about Ann-Marie and decided to
try it out. At the first appointment she was very kind. She made me feel
very comfortable. After the first treatment I noticed a dramatic difference
in the swelling, pain, and even the amount of movement in my ankle. This
was about a month into the recovery period and I felt as though I would
be able to walk in no time. Thank you so much for everything Ann-Marie.”
I also
suffered from tendonitis in my knee. I had been off my bike for two weeks.
Ann-Marie worked on my knee when it was at its worst. I fully expected
to get off the table and have the same pressure, stiffness and soreness
I had been experiencing for the past 5 weeks. When I put my foot on the
ground I couldn’t believe the difference. My knee felt 75% better
and the next day, even better. I stayed off my bike and returned to Ann-Marie
a week later and am now symptom free. I am cycling again and I’m
certain that the mix of rest and acupuncture got me back on my bike much
sooner than rest alone. Thanks Ann-Marie! You Rock!”
Ann-Marie started treating Braydon and could always dispel the illness. Over a period of time, our grandson has responded to her treatments and now we’re to the point where his headaches and stomachaches are manageable. He’s well on the road to recovery. Ann-Marie
has an excellent bedside manner and relates very well to our grandson,
always calming him down. Her treatments always have a nice, calming effect
on Braydon and it seems to give him a little attitude adjustment leaving
him happier in general.”
Ann-Marie
has also treated me for colds, migraines and tension and I too noticed
improvements with all. Ann-Marie is a delight to work with, excellent
at dealing with children and has been an enormous help to my daughter
and myself.”
"I’ve always been curious about acupuncture and Chinese medicine. After an initial consultation with Ann-Marie, I decided to try acupuncture. What a great experience! I now see her regularly and she has helped me immensely. Not only is she helping me, but now my 7 year-old daughter is a client - she absolutely loves Ann-Marie! After just a few short visits I saw an improvement in a number of areas. I always feel so at ease when I see Ann-Marie. I also appreciate her professionalism and warm personality. Acupuncture is phenomenal and I highly recommend it!" ~Heather
S. Immediately after the 15 minute session, he expelled a lot of gas and announced that he had to go to the bathroom. To me, this was a clear indication of movement, things moving through his system. That night, Thelonious, who is four years old, slept through the night without waking up and coming into my bed for the first time in his life! Also, his immunity seems clearly boosted to me after an early spring of catching colds. He did have the beginnings of a cough recently, but it was gone completely the day after his treatment. This felt like a change in his usual pattern of battling with coughs for a few days. He is very much less congested. Colorado is so dry, and I feel that perhaps the stuffiness of his nose had contributed to Thelonious waking up at night, or stirring. This is no longer the case, even in allergy season. The way I would characterize the change in him is that he moved through minor illnesses -- colds and coughs – with greater ease. I feel like he is being hard-wired with another possibility for health even if it's just 15 minutes once a week. I would
also like to say that Ann-Marie is a completely present, mellow, attentive,
silly practitioner of this powerful medicine. She is silly in the very
best way -- she participates in the delight and friskiness of a young
child's life. She doesn’t try to fix the experience, but rather,
in my observation, follows the pace, needs, comfort level, and interest
of the child. On the kid level, Thelonious gets enormously excited on
"Annie days", as he calls the morning treatments with Ann-Marie.
In weeks that are increasingly busy, it makes my heart so full to see
my child receiving something that is so entirely in support of his health
and well-being.”
