“I was diagnosed with PCOS and had extremely irregular periods. Before Connected Healing, my last two periods lasted 10+ days with horrible cramps. After just 2.5 weeks, my next period was only 5 days long and my cramps went from a 7/10 to a 3/10 pain level. Can’t wait to continue getting treatment here and get my period and PCOS symptoms completely under control.”

“The symptom relief I’ve acquired with Caitria’s help has been life changing, but the added healing tid bits have altered my world. I can now experience life rather than be bombarded by it. I observe instead of being defined by moments. I ride waves instead of crashing and drowning in them. Caitria has saved me from myself while showing me my power within.”

“My experience at Connected Healing getting weekly acupuncture treatments for a year has been incredible and life changing. The symptom relief I've gotten from chronic painful conditions has improved my quality of life enormously. Alyssa is extremely knowledgeable about how to work with the complexity of C-PTSD and chronic stress - her treatments leave me feeling revitalized and fulfilled.”
