Testimonials

Lynn is a true healer; addressing my physical, mental and spiritual health with a variety of tools and approaches. Guided by her formal training and education as well as her natural intuition, Lynn has treated me for anxiety, sleeplessness, back and shoulder pain and a variety of other symptoms and causes for those symptoms. With a unique combination of humor, energy, and intuition; Lynn addresses my health holistically each session and customizes each treatment accordingly.  My customized treatment have included cupping to address a chronic back injury, use of herbs to enhance the effect of the acupuncture, and always some shiatsu (my favorite part!) I am so grateful to have discovered Lynn and her unique therapeutic treatments.  Without Lynn I’m not sure I would have the full and successful life I do today; because without Lynn I’m not sure I could have overcome and worked through a trauma that threatened to destroy every aspect of my life.  Lynn has played a critical role in my overall therapeutic journey and recovery.

I started seeing Lynn when I was dealing with hip and IT band pain related to distance running. I really appreciated the way that Lynn approached my treatment. She addressed my immediate pain while also working on the underlying issues causing the recurring injury. Lynn listened to my concerns, explained what she planned to do during the treatment, and why it was the effective choice. Instead of simply telling me to stop running she helped think about ways to prevent future injuries. I noticed a difference after each treatment and overall improvement from week to week. I have nothing but positive things to say about Lynn. She uses her extensive training and experience to make her patients feel relaxed and to produce great results.

Before working with Lynn, I struggled with back pain on a daily basis. I had a physical therapy routine, but my weekly treatments with Lynn have minimized the pain so I can go about my day-to-day routine as a teacher without as much lower back pain. Lynn's combination of acupuncture and shiatsu gives me the boost I need to get through the week. I leave her treatments feeling relaxed, energized, and with almost no pain. It is as if I am 10 years younger. Lynn is a careful listener. She takes time to know her clients and treats them holistically. Lynn brings extensive training and experience, which results in a more diverse combination of treatment options. Depending on what issues have come up during the week, she can shift the treatment and focus on the most pressing problems.

Lynn’s shiatsu treatments have helped both my anxiety and lower back pain. My very first treatment with her, I loved the confidence that she exuded and I felt comfortable with her right away. Her method of shiatsu is very thorough and effective. I feel great during and after and always looked forward to going back. I highly recommend Lynn to everyone.

When I first started working Lynn, my list of issues was a mile long. Digestive issues, irregular hormones, chronic back and shoulder pain, thyroid issues... the list goes on. I started out with a stomach to sensitive to touch, but after working with Lynn I feel like a totally different person. Not only were the treatments enormously helpful, but based on her suggestions I've altered my diet and exercise routine in ways that have further improved my symptoms. As I worked with my regular physician to treat my hypothyroidism, she helped treat new symptoms I was experiencing as my body adjusted to the medication. She's wonderful at drawing connections between my everyday behavior and how my body is reacting to it. She asks questions about things I had never payed attention to, so be prepared to start keeping better track of your body. The more information you can provide, the better the treatment will be. Lynn has been nothing but fantastic, and I would recommend her to anyone.

Lynn starts each class with savasana, which works well for me at the end of my stressful workday. Lynn is gifted with a voice that is perfect for leading relaxations. During class, she gives each person the attention and the specific modifications they need. She makes sure to teach us how to practice on our own at home. Really a valuable skill in the pandemic!

I really enjoyed Lynn's classes. It wasn't like any other I have done. Lynn's voice is incredibly soothing and her style of speaking is very engaging and explanatory which is so helpful in trying to follow. After one particular class (I have tried so hard to replicate to no avail) where she had us imagine a beam of light flowing through ae channel from head to hips...I felt so good after that and that feeling, which usually lasts a few hours lasted 3 days, which I have never had happen before.

I just LOVED Lynn's Sunday night meditation and relaxation classes and was brokenhearted when Lynn took time off. I am excited to know they are starting up again. I find Lynn so supportive, relaxing and fascinating as a teacher.

Lynn's honesty, charisma and energy is what makes her so special as a teacher.

Lynn has a way of welcoming all into her energy so everyone feels like we can benefit from whatever it is she is teaching/sharing. My children’s elementary school teachers called it differentiation - the notion that a skilled teacher can teach the same material to all different levels of students at the same time - offering each what they needed. I feel that with Lynn - like I’m in the right place regardless of any physical limitations or past experience/exposure to yoga/movement/qi gong...  Lynn a clear mastery of what she's teaching and she can communicate it in the most open way (some instructors’ ego gets involved and it becomes weird and intimidating to me). The language of she instruction is precise, vivid, and truly helpful.  It painted a picture for me of what I was going for, what modifications would work, and what it was supposed to feel like. In the past, I might end a yoga class feeling better physically but somehow emotionally bruised - not good enough. Lynn managed to help all of me feel better. And I never consulted a mental checklist of what I wasn’t doing right.- DR, hypnotist She is very welcoming in class, she loves her work and her enthusiasm is a great motivator for students. She is deeply immersed in the practice of yoga herself and is a great example for us.
 
 
Lynn is both a motivating and a calming presence in class. She motivates us to push ourselves but at the same time cultivates our self awareness so that we don't push too far. She helps us find out limits as well as our sometimes unexpected strengths. This has value outside the class as well - we learn to monitor and observe our physical and mental states.
 
 
She bring a coherent teaching approach. There is a ordered progression to activities over the course of the class and the season. She is good at conveying to students why she is doing a certain type of pose and indicating its purpose. She teaches common foundational practices like breathing, and body awareness, that carry over into everyday life. These help us become more self aware, less stressed...
 
 
Lynn is organized but flexible and adaptive. She doesn't just tell us what to do, she shows us, while adapting as she goes to the needs of different students.. She is sensitive to the capacities and limitations of different students and finds ways to accommodate everyone in classes. She is very good at observing us, adapting the stretches to our different abilities, and she shows us by going through the motions herself, explaining, as well as sometimes assisting participants one-on-one.

Lynn is smart, with the right balance of training/research and intuitive wisdom. She is kind and warm. She brings confidence in her healing abilities and her patients’ abilities to heal as well.  She is also very human/real/genuine and funny, which always makes a trip to see Lynn a joyous occasion!

Lynn brings genuineness, empathy and humility to the treatment room.  She brings these qualities as well as her skills & expertise to help clients find their way through and beyond any number of health/life challenges.

So much about Lynn is unique and yet, at the same time Lynn is what everyone should be.  Lynn's gentleness, kindness, ability to relate to others, ability to allow for privacy and yet reach out is unique and not something all of us possess.  And, oh, Lynn's is able to "read" the muscles and tension in a body. Magic hands!

Lynn is one of those acupuncturists and bodywork practitioners who will make seeing anyone else after her nearly impossible because your standards will be raised to another level. Her healing touch restored my thinning hair, rebalanced my hormone issues, and so much more. Her generosity and kindness lives in her core has made Lynn someone I think of with deep respect. I can’t rave about Lynn enough both personally and professionally.
