It was my 1st time I tried Acupuncture.
Mel was gentle and I felt safe on every session with her. My treatment has definitely helped to lessen the symptoms I was suffering from Pins and Needles in my right Arm. I will highly recommend Mel.

I couldn't get in to see the chiropractor and was experiencing debilitating pain in my shoulder and neck. So I took a chance on trying acupuncture with Melissa and what a good decision that was! From the first session there was a dramatic improvement and four weeks later my neck and shoulder feel completely healed and flexible. Unexpected bonuses include a significant improvement in a tight jaw I've had for a few years, weight loss and just a general feeling of well being. Melissa has a great blend of competence and warmth that make a visit to her practice like a mini retreat. :)

I started seeing Melissa when work-related stress and anxiety began piling up, and It was the best decision I ever made. Melissa came highly recommended to me from my personal trainer, and has not only helped improve my mindset but has worked wonders on my emotions, and overall health and wellbeing. My neck, back and hips love Melissa! The constant aches and pains have disappeared and my body copes much better with life's physical and emotional challenges.
Melissa's professional expertise and knowledge is second only to her genuine interest in her patients.

My experience with Melissa from Evodia has always been amazing. She has so much knowledge regarding the human body and channels a healing plan through her skills of acupuncture and Chinese Herbs. She is also fantastic at massaging. She offers advice for me to apply at home so it isn't always about the treatment on the day. Melissa is thorough and that is one of the reasons I have been her client for many years. I can recommend her to anyone.
