Testimonials
"I have suffered from severe menstrual cramps ever since I can remember, with pain so intense that I used to call in sick to work a few days out of every month, and then spend my day lying in bed, nauseous with pain. Nothing seemed to help. But after a few months of combined acupuncture and herbal therapy, my pain has subsided to the point where I can function normally. Instead of continuing to cover up the problem with painkillers, I feel like my body has been eased into a real and positive change. When I saw Mary this week, I was able to say, "My last period was great! Really easy.” I have to admit that I have always been somewhat skeptical about the effectiveness of herbs, but twice this year I have actually been able to prevent the onset of a cold through prescribed herbs and acupuncture treatments. While everyone in my office shared an illness and passed it back and forth, I was able to escape without getting sick at all."
"Acupuncture is usually expensive, and I never thought I could afford enough treatments to see an impact. However, the clinic’s sliding scale made it possible for me. Having access to acupuncture has had a genuine impact on my health and on my life."

“Working with Mary as my nutritional advisor, I have achieved almost miraculous relief from the chronic hip bursitis and leg pain that has plagued me for a number of years. I tried different kinds of pain medication and physical therapy, but nothing seemed to help. Mary urged me to consider diet change as a way to address my body’s chronic inflammation. She recommended a new way of eating, with very specific recommendations. After only a few weeks of this new diet my hip and leg pain was reduced to the point where I could comfortably start going to tap dance classes again. After six months my pain is negligible and I have lost more than 20 pounds. I am so grateful to Mary for helping me become healthier, thinner and happier.”

“I just had a massage yesterday from Denise Iten. I am writing to let you know what a wonderful massage I received. I think she does an excellent massage and she seems very intuitive with the pressure she uses and locating areas that need special attention. Thank you Boulder Community Acupuncture for providing the environment for me to be able to enjoy a wonderful massage and for having Denise at your place of business.”
