First Time Acupuncture

A friend recommended acupuncture for various reasons. Margaret took a profile, answered questions & gave me my first treatment. I felt completely relaxed & even dozed a bit. Generally I feel groggy & sluggish after naps but I felt refreshed & energized - even had a good night's sleep. I didn't struggle to get out of bed for my 5:30AM workout and had tons of strength and energy. Acupunture alleviated stress and relaxed me physically & mentally. I'm monitoring other benefits. I'll be back.

knowledgeable, professional and kind

Location and parking is great and the building is very inviting and well kept. I have been personally seeing Michelle as my acupuncturist and would definitely recommend. You can tell she really cares about her patients by how she takes the time to listen and by how thoughtful she is in her approach. She is knowledgeable, professional and kind and I think anyone would enjoy working with her. Thank you Michelle!

CAN’T SAY ENOUGH

I can’t say enough about Emily and her practice. Acupuncture has yielded great results for my health. She is amazing at what she does!

LOVE THIS PLACE

I love this place so much! Margaret really knows what she is doing and is so helpful! I see her for my neuropathy and occasionally something else is going on too and she is able to treat everything!

RELIEF

My first appointment was a really great experience. I explained my primary concerns, (anxiety/stress) and I have to say by the time I left I felt completely relaxed, much more clear headed and focused. I definitely will be making another appointment in the near future.

Exactly what I need to stay balanced!

I am so grateful that Margaret always knows exactly what I need to help me manage my stress. She listens, asks good questions, and offers great lifestyle advice. Her caring treatments leave me feeling more at ease and revitalized. Thank you Margaret and Glenside Community Acupuncture!

Smooth Safe Pregnancy after 40 :)

At 42 I was able to have a healthy, unmedicated, full term homebirth delivery. Labor was so smooth and fast- 3 and a half hours. My every other week acupuncture treatments kept me balanced, helped with back pain, digestion, sleep- even with clearing up a sinus infection. Laying on the treatment bed by the sunny window was a little piece of rest and rejuvenation. Some sessions I'd go home feeling like superwoman and got so many things done, others I'd have the best naps after.

Rejuvenating!

My teenager and I decided it would be a good idea to create some positive energy and recharge our batteries! We felt a little low. We met with Margaret who was calming and attentive. The atmosphere of GCA is lovely. We left there feeling rejuvenated and calm. The positive effects of acupuncture last for days. Thinking is clearer, body feels better and generally makes life easier. Ahhhh! Thank you GCA!

Keeps me going

I have always been active and health conscious, but as I am aging I definitely need to go the extra mile to fend off aches and pains. Every night of the week I am either doing a combat sport or lifting, and potentially worse is that during the day I am working at a desk. Margaret is always able to help my shoulders, neck, back, or wherever I end up battered. Without GCA I wouldn't be able to keep as active as I am and I always look forward to how relaxing my visits are and walking out refreshed.

Calm and Relaxing

I have been to GCA several times now and have had great experiences each time. All the practitioners I’ve seen have been patient, attentive and relaxing. They have made each experience calming and comfortable. Margaret is so fast with the needles that I did not even feel any of them going in! GCA is convenient to get to, and has many appointments to accommodate my schedule.

A place of healing

GCA is a haven of rest, recovery, and relaxation. For two years Margaret has provided spiritual relief for my mind and body. My experiences have been immensely powerful and healing. She is a consummate medical professional and listens with her entire being. It is the only place I can completely let go of everything. I emphatically recommend this oasis for anyone who has ever ached, desired relief, and mostly for those who have sought authentic answers to life's continual questions.

Facial Rejuvenation

Margaret has been treating me since she opened her practice in Glenside. She has recently included facial rejuvenation treatments which include acupuncture, cupping and facial massage. For someone in her 60's it is great to know there is a natural way to work on those wrinkles and it is very relaxing. I'm going regularly and I am seeing improvements.

Knowledgeable and warm

My acupuncturist was Margaret and she was welcoming. She asked many questions regarding the pain I was having and thoroughly explained the process. It was an incredibly relaxing experience in a soothing and clean environment. Highly recommended!!

amazing

i have only been to 3 sessions but already seeing improvement with shoulder pain and overall well-being. Margaret and her team are very welcoming and warm. I am thankful for Glenside Community Acupuncture and the space they have created for mental and physical wellness. I highly recommend!

Effective treatment

They listen to my health concerns and address them thoughtfully and effectively. I feel cared for at each visit and am experiencing progress. Acupuncture is helping my health go in the right direction, and I consider it a central part of my healing. I highly recommend this practice!

Even Better Than Expected!

This was my first-ever experience with acupuncture. I came into the first session with high expectations/hopes for relief of chronic pain. Four sessions in now and Margaret's care and treatment have surpassed my expectations. From the moment you walk through the door, Margaret is a quiet, calm and reassuring presence. She is a careful listener, then confident, assured and adept in her treatment and approach to your area(s) of need. The entire experience is comfortable, relaxing and reassuring!

Didn’t know what to expect!

I have never had acupuncture before to start off! I have had extreme anxiety for years and have tried therapy, medication, etc. My friend recommended acupuncture when I told her how I’ve been getting bad head and neck aches from my anxiety lately. I went to Margaret for my first apt and WOW- the second I sat up, I felt this calmness/ inner peace I’ve never felt. It was mind blowing. I’ve only been once, but made another appointment for next week. What a great place, no pressure, calm, clean!
