benefits of acupuncture
Acupuncture is renowned for its ability to significantly enhance the quality of life by decreasing pain, restoring function and activating your body’s natural healing mechanisms to alleviate the progression of many different health conditions. While many will experience quick relief from acupuncture, the therapy is best used in a series of treatments to relieve acute and chronic conditions, correct imbalances, and maintain optimal health. At Acupuncture of Columbia in Columbia, MO, we are dedicated to helping you unlock these benefits of acupuncture, guiding you on a personalized journey towards enhanced health and well-being.
Acupuncture is one of the safest, time-tested, holistic medical therapies available. It involves placing very fine needles into specific points in the body to cause a systemic effect on the central nervous system.

This direct or indirect nerve stimulation can help to decrease pain, restore function and activate your body’s natural healing mechanisms to alleviate the progression of many different health conditions

our proven methods
why acupuncture
Acupuncture is a safe and effective method of treatment that has been used for centuries to promote health and wellbeing. If you’re struggling with chronic health conditions, here are some reasons acupuncture may be right for you:
Acupuncture takes a holistic approach to health and well-being. Instead of focusing solely on isolated symptoms, acupuncture takes into account all aspects of your wellbeing – physical, mental, and emotional. It acknowledges that the health of the body, mind, and spirit are interconnected, and that a change in one area can affect the other areas. This holistic perspective aims to restore balance and harmony within the entire body, promoting overall health and wellness.
In many cases, chronic health conditions don’t exist in isolation – they often have complex, interconnected causes and effects. By addressing your overall health and well-being, acupuncture can help manage these complex conditions in a comprehensive and balanced way, facilitating a healthier, more holistic lifestyle.
Beyond addressing existing health issues, acupuncture is also a powerful tool for preventive health care. Regular acupuncture treatments can help strengthen the immune system, improve energy levels, reduce stress, and enhance sleep quality. This can help keep your body in balance and prevent health issues from arising in the first place.
Moreover, by supporting overall body balance and harmony, acupuncture can help you maintain a healthier lifestyle. It encourages self-care, mindfulness, and a balanced approach to health that can help you stay healthier in the long term.
Acupuncture offers a natural, drug-free approach to symptom management and health improvement. For those who wish to avoid the potential side effects of certain medications, or for whom traditional treatments aren’t effective, acupuncture provides a valuable alternative or complementary option.
In addition, acupuncture can often work synergistically with traditional medical treatments, enhancing their effectiveness and reducing side effects. It can help manage side effects of medication, improve the efficacy of physical therapy, and support recovery from surgery or other treatments.
Acupuncture aims to treat not just your symptoms but also the root cause of your health problems. Instead of merely managing symptoms, acupuncture seeks to understand and address the underlying imbalance or dysfunction that’s leading to those symptoms. This can lead to more sustainable, long-term relief, reducing the recurrence of symptoms.
Furthermore, by addressing the root cause of a condition, acupuncture encourages the body’s natural healing abilities. It promotes self-regulation, supporting the body in healing itself. This can lead to not just symptom relief, but improved overall health, helping you feel better in the long term.
Acupuncture is a highly personalized form of care. Each treatment is tailored to your unique health needs, personal constitution, and overall well-being. This ensures that the treatment is as effective as possible in addressing your specific health concerns.
Moreover, as part of the personalized care process, acupuncturists often provide advice and guidance on lifestyle changes that can support your health. This might include nutritional advice, exercise recommendations, stress management techniques, and more. This comprehensive, personalized approach to care helps ensure that you’re supported not just during acupuncture treatments, but in your everyday life as well.
Gina is fantastic! I’ve been to her to treat a few different things. It is crazy how well her acupuncture treatments work for anxiety and stress relief. Every time I go here I feel like I have a complete reset in my stress level. Would highly recommend.
I decided to seek out acupuncture to treat a concussion after having pretty bad migraines and vestibular issues. Within a month of acupuncture and traditional pt, I’ve been cleared by my concussion doc and have no symptoms. However, what has really made me fall in love with Acupuncture of Columbia has been its affect on my mental health. I’ve had anxiety for years and have seen the most dramatic reduction in my anxiety after receiving acupuncture than any other treatment. The team is incredibly welcoming and Gina’s energy is so positive and bright; I came away from my initial consultation feeling excited and as though I had made a friend.
Gina is wonderful. I had a muscle spasm that had not responded to massage, chiropractic, muscle relaxants or pain relievers prescribed at urgent care. I was at the end of my options when my primary care doctor recommended accupuncture. The entire experience at Acupuncture of Columbia is restorative. I highly recommend them!
Acupuncture has certainly helped my husband and I improve in quite a few health issues! We always look forward to each treatment! When you walk into Acupuncture of Columbia, you are immersed in the feeling of health! You'll receive the kindest, most considerate care ever from Gina, Master acupuncturist, and the entire staff, who are so sweet and attentive! I was always so scared of needles ( from drawing for blood test, shots, etc.) this scene is totally different. The needles barely penetrate. Their soothing music and peaceful atmosphere, surrounded by genuine, caring professionals is simply a delightful experience! We are so very thankful! We feel healthier, more relaxed and rejuvenated! We highly recommend Gina to everyone! Go with Acupuncture of Columbia, it will be one of the best decisions you've ever made! Mike and Tammy
Gina has treated me with both acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine in the midst of some health issues that I, nor my doctor, could quite nail down at the time. She was so incredibly kind and thoughtful with her responses, and listened carefully at everything I had going on to see how she could best treat my ailments. Her expertise is unmatched but furthermore, her bubbly personality and true passion for helping others is what contributes to the quality of care she delivers. I highly recommend reaching out to Gina and Dr. Clark if you’re looking for an integrative approach to your healthcare needs!
Gina is awesome! She is so kind and really cares about her patients. Acupuncture helped me through the first half of my pregnancy when I felt miserable with early pregnancy symptoms. It relieved a lot of nausea and anxiety and I am incredibly grateful. Her staff are very nice, helpful and welcoming. The whole experience is relaxing and was truly one of the best parts of my weeks! I will be back for more! Highly recommend.
I started seeing Gina in February while undergoing treatment for breast cancer. Acupuncture has made my neuropathy and chemo induced nausea much more tolerable. It’s also helped with stress and insomnia from the steroids I’m taking with treatment.
Gina and her amazing team have helped me through pregnancies, chronic health issues, chronic pain, and hormone regulation… she cares so deeply for her clients and it shows! My acupuncture appointments are so relaxing and therapeutic! I would recommend them over and over again to everyone.
I had been in pain for two and a half months. I had been to doctors and a dentist with no relief. Gina took care of the pain in 10 visits! Gina, Marisa and Sam are the most caring! I highly recommend Acupuncture of Columbia!
Gina has been treating my migraines for several years and they have improved greatly. The frequency of my migraines has diminished and continues to do so. I now go monthly for a maintenance session. Gina and her staff are wonderful. Trying acupuncture and being treated by Gina was the best decision I made.
Gina, Sam and Marisa were wonderful. I had swelling from a recent knee surgery keeping me from activities even after all the physical therapy but Gina decreased that swelling in no time allowing me to get back on my bicycle! They are fantastic and I can't recommend them more enthusiastically. Please give acupuncture a try if you are hesitant. Gina and her team are the best!!!
I have cervical dystonia and receive a lot of treatments for pain management but Gina's acupuncture is by far my favorite and the only one I look forward to. Each session she tailors treatment on my current pain locations and it gets me through the weeks! Everyone there knows your name and really seems to care!
Cannot recommend Gina and her team highly enough! My husband and I have been struggling with infertility, so I decided to try acupuncture for the first time to help with DOR and all of the extra anxiety that comes along with it. It sounds cheesy, but I really do feel like Gina's been there with me every step of my fertility journey. She created a detailed care plan to help boost fertility wellness and provide IVF support (including Chinese herbs) and even sent me home with the names/numbers of recommended REs in STL after my husband and I had repeatedly unpleasant experiences with our then-current clinic. Thanks to Gina, we found the perfect doctor in St. Louis and finally feel like we’re in all the right hands and on the right track. In the midst of everything (we're days away from our first egg retrieval), I’m so incredibly grateful for Gina’s care and compassion. She’s truly gifted at what she does, and she listens to and addresses new concerns at every session. Sam and Marisa are so wonderful and warm, too, and greet me by name with genuine smiles every morning, which is such a simple way to make patients feel valued but is SO rare. Highly, highly, highly recommend seeing Gina and her team at Acupuncture of Columbia. I look forward to every session and leave feeling relaxed, at peace, and like I just caught up with old friends.
The team at Acupuncture of Columbia is a delight! They always greet you with a smile and the atmosphere is amazing. I can't recommend their services enough if you're having pain with no relief from other forms of treatment.
Love this place so much! Relaxing environment, friendly staff. It’s so convenient being able to see Gina Butler for acupuncture and then Dr. Butler right after, all in the same location. I’ve seen Gina for about 8 years, and acupuncture has helped keep my back and hip pain manageable, when it previously was affecting every aspect of my day and keeping me from normal activities. Additionally, Dr. Butler’s expertise and skill with osteopathic manipulation has been extremely helpful. Could not recommend the combination of these two modalities more. Thank you Gina, Dr. Butler, and team for all that you do!
I have dealt with significant chronic neuropathic pain for 30 years. I have been repeatedly to the Mayo clinic and all the Md's Columbia has to offer as well as tried most alternative remedies. I have held off on acupuncture looking for a top notch practitioner. Gina, and her staff, have gone above and beyond, exceeding my expectations. And yes I have seen some reasonable, welcomed, relief from the treatment. But the overall approach and honesty in communicating what may and may not be possible is what sets Gina apart. No false promises here. I would recommend anyone that has a "hard to treat" case explore what Gina and her practice has to offer.
Acupuncture has improved my arthritis in my hand 70% so far, and I’ve been a client for 2 months! Gina is professional and friendly; the offices are beautifully decorated, spotless and calming. I would absolutely recommend acupuncture with Gina!
Gina and her team are wonderful. I've been going here for almost a year and recommend it to everyone. Gina's helped me with tennis elbow, pre-menopausal symptoms, and general health maintenance. She listens and really cares about your treatment. I feel like acupuncture compliments my Western medicine care and has helped alleviate my IBS and digestive issues, as well as brought my stress levels down. I plan to continue going here for a long time.
I luckily found Acupuncture of Columbia in June 2021 and have been receiving monthly treatments since. The energy in the clinic/office is one of positivity, care, compassion and wellness. I am always greeted warmly and quickly placed in a treatment room. At my first appointment Gina patiently listened to me about my concerns and goals. She then thoroughly explained her treatment plan and prescribed a personalized herb formula to accelerate my healing. Gina is energetic, thoughtful and professional. It's a joy to visit with her. I'm receiving maintenance treatments now. Each appointment is like visiting friends who only want to see you succeed and want you to reach your goals. I feel so welcome and refreshed after each session. Gina continues to provide top notch care and it's clear she cares for her patients. I highly recommend Gina and her team at Acupuncture of Columbia.
I have been using Gina's expertise in acupuncture and herbal medicine for several years. Her knowledge of acupuncture and its use in present day medicine has led me to visit her office on a monthly basis as part of my healthy lifestyle program. She not only is highly professional, but her "bedside manner" and sincere interest in how she treats me as a patient is something that is highly missing in today's American medical practice. Ric T. Jackson, R.Ph.
I had a wonderful experience with Acupuncture of Columbia. I was in Columbia because a family member was having a medical procedure and started having severe pain in my hip/back/sciatica. They were able to get me in super fast and helped me so much. I super appreciated that they would see me knowing that I wouldn’t be a long term client due to actually living far away! Thank you, Gina! You are amazing! Everyone was so friendly and made me feel so welcome and comfortable!
Gina is a very talented healer. Her acupuncture treatments are really helping with my chronic pain issues and my overall health. I'd tell anyone considering Acupuncture of Columbia, give them a call. You won't regret it.
I have been going to Acupuncture of Columbia for several months and have seen a difference in my body. Today I went in with a terrible migraine and Gina was so kind and caring. She worked her magic with her placement of the needles and I walked out feeling like a new woman! The migraine was gone and I couldn’t be more grateful!
I have been seeing Gina with Acupuncture of Columbia for several years. I started going for headaches. Now I go see her a lot of different things. She is very kind and listens to me. Sam and Marisa, her staff, are exceptionally friendly and welcoming. I enjoy my visits and recommend them for all your needs.
The staff at Acupuncture of Columbia are always friendly, helpful and compassionate. Gina is a superb practitioner; she is knowledgeable and always willing to respond positively to address any new health issue. Additionally, they are willing to find time to treat patients in case of emergency. Acupuncture of Columbia is a space of peace and healing.
I was hesitant to seek out acupuncture, but on the recommendations of family & friends, I decided to seek out Gina for some issues with plantar fasciitis. In the initial assessment, Gina was very thorough as she sought to understand which specific parts of my body were hurting. She did an excellent job of explaining what the treatment would involve. She also makes sure to check in before each treatment, asks if anything has changed in the treated area. Additionally, the welcoming staff and calming environment make each visit a joy. If you’re considering making an appointment, do it! You’ll be glad you did.
Since I have been getting acupuncture I have not had to have any eye injections for my Macular Degeneration. The Retinal Specialist doesn’t believe that acupuncture makes any difference. I believe and no injections…I’m a happy camper! Gina is extremely professional and compassionate.
i highly, highly recommend acupuncture of columbia. i have suffered chronic neck pain for three years without long term relief from any therapy i had attempted (physical therapy, chiropractic work, varieties of exercise, medication, muscle relaxers, radiofrequency nerve ablation, and more) and honestly (though mistakenly) saw acupuncture of columbia as a last ditch effort. since beginning my treatment in september of 2022, i have seen an unbelievable improvement in my quality of life. (as a college student, it’s pretty difficult when simply going to class requires the majority of my pain-free hours.) i am now able to remain pain free for a full month between treatments, a milestone i truly never believed i would reach. gina and the rest of the staff are incredibly kind and truly make my mornings better on days when i come in. my treatment plan has been clearly communicated to me from the start. i feel very well-informed of my own health and progress, and feel cared for on the more difficult days. if you live in columbia and have been considering acupuncture, i enthusiastically and wholeheartedly recommend acupuncture of columbia.
I’m so happy that Gina is in Columbia, Mo. I have quit taking Aleve or anything else because of acupuncture with Gina. Also, I can now walk barefoot.
Gina Butler and the staff at Acupuncture of Columbia are simply wonderful. The facilities are top notch, making the whole experience comfortable from start to finish, because from the moment you walk in the door, the atmosphere in the clinic is warm, welcoming and calming. All of the staff are very friendly and kind. Highly recommend!
This place is lovely! Honestly some of the best care I have gotten anywhere. Gina truly listens to you and provides wonderful acupuncture treatment. I always leave feeling so relaxed and am excited to continue to see improvements in many aspects of my physical and mental health.
Excellent acupuncture experience. The staff are kind, professional and friendly, and the place is very clean, calm and inviting. Gena is one of the best acupuncturists I've been to. I highly recommend going here!
Love my experiences with Gina Butler and staff! All are personable, professional but also, I am getting results from the treatments I have received! It was a great choice to begin acupuncture with her! Yay me! 😉
I have had a wonderful time getting treatment with Gina and her team at acupuncture of Columbia. Everyone is so kind and helpful, and the space is always so relaxing and clean. Gina is so amazing and has been so attentive to my case for acupuncture but also goes the extra mile to remember little details. I highly recommend this practice for anyone seeking acupuncture.
Finding Acupuncture of Columbia was the best day ever! Gina and staff are amazing, kind, friendly, and considerate. Acupuncture is a great non invasive way to treat many health issues. I am so grateful to Gina and her staff for helping me.
Have you ever been to a place where you walk in and immediately feel your body begin to relax? The staff greets you by name, and the smell of the incense in the diffuser makes you smile. When you go back to one of the rooms, the relaxation continues. Heated beds with soft pillows, a nice, soft blanket, an infrared lamp at your feet, and gentle music playing through a speaker. It's so tranquil. I admit I was nervous about acupuncture. Needles are kind of freaky and the idea of lying on a bed with several needles sticking out of me was nerve-wracking. But I'd learned of the benefits of acupuncture. Things like helping with fertility, chronic illness, pain, and anxiety. Plus, Gina is just such a kind-hearted person and her positive energy is contagious. And honestly, they don't hurt at all. It's like someone poking you with a fingernail. I've been going about once a week for the past 3 months and can't believe the difference. During my first embryo transfer (before I started acupuncture), my hormones were very low and I had to supplement 2 or 3 of them. Also my lining didn't get above 6mm (not ideal). So that transfer failed. A couple weeks ago I had my 2nd transfer. Not only had my hormones been in the ideal range, but my lining was at 10mm! My anxiety has been minimal, my chronic illness (POTS) has been less symptomatic, and I just feel so much better. I can be a bit of a skeptic but I'm thrilled with how well acupuncture has worked for me! While I now recommend acupuncture to nearly everyone, I especially recommend going to Gina. I can't imagine going anywhere else.
Shingles and the nerve pain that can follow (PHN) - is there any real hope for improvement? Yes! Acupuncture works and there are medical studies that prove it. I came to Gina a month after being diagnosed with shingles. The pain meds from doctors had not lessened my pain at all and they came with unwanted side effects. I could not stand for anything to touch my skin where the pain was - not my clothes, not the bedding, not even a loose hair that had fallen out of my head. They all caused intense pain. When I first started treatments here, the pain was horrible. Now at the end of my treatments, I feel like 98% of my pain is gone (and all I did was lie on a soft, warm table and almost dose off!). If you’ve got PHN, you’ve got to come see Gina. Don’t wait because that can make your recovery take longer and be more expensive. Gina is genuine and remembers conversations she has with you and will ask about those things/people at your next visit. Gina is encouraging and always asking how you're doing so she can better decide how to treat you. Everyone here calls you by name, too. You'll quickly feel like you're among friends!
Gina is very kind, professional and knowledgeable. Staff if very polite and helpful. Office and treatment rooms are clean, light and music are very pleasant and calming. I made 10 sessions of acupuncture and want to take 10 more (once a week). The best experience!
I saw Gina for an issue with my ears having fluid and causing me great pain during flights and discomfort afterwards. Within a few acupuncture sessions and taking the herbs she customized for me, I felt significant improvement. I just returned home from a trip and had no ear pain or discomfort on the flight which was a huge relief for me. Everyone at the office is welcoming and cares about you as a patient. If you are looking for alternative healing methods, I highly recommend you try Columbia Integrative Health!
I give them a 10 Star, if I’m being honest! Gina is a lifesaver! First of all, NO acupuncture does NOT hurt! A few little pricks or little pinches & next thing you know you’re in such a state of relaxation that your watch will try to add the time you get acupuncture to your sleep app! Seriously, every session of acupuncture my heart rate dips so much it thinks I’m asleep! You go into a natural extremely comfortable meditative sleep without having to work for it! I’ve had a reaction to something & my nervous system has been on overdrive giving me internal tremors for many weeks. Unfortunately, my regular docs have been unable to assist me through this although I continue to go to them because Gina works WITH western medicine & encourages you to continue regular care. With my reg docs, there has been no real relief unless I sedate myself with muscle relaxers. Which is a huge NO for me! I needed my body to be assisted in calming my nervous system down as gently & naturally as possible. ACUPUNCTURE works! Gina is the gentle most kind soul & will 100% make you feel comfortable! Oh yes & it’s ok to take your anxiety into their office because after a few tiny pinches & a good 5min & your body naturally responds & relaxes!! It is very seriously similar to taking a pharmaceutical for an anxiety attack but there’s NO side effects!! YOU deserve to experience acupuncture! I can’t believe I went 53yrs without experiencing it. It’s absolutely 100% worth the money! PS, check with your insurance because depending on what your struggle is, they might just pay for it!
More than six years ago, I could not walk without a cane and my pain was excruciating. My massage therapist recommended acupuncture. Although I continue to keep my cane available, I have not used it for more than six years. Need I say more? Thank goodness for Gina and her expert services!
Besides just being an all-around rockstar of a human being, Gina's acupuncture treatments have greatly enhanced the quality of my life! I work in the field of evidence-based medicine and have learned about the amazing results with many conditions particularly pain, reproductive, and allergies. It is a shame that there is not funding for large scale studies so that the benefits of acupuncture can be shared and promoted more widely with greater credibility. Gina has treated and helped me with numerous conditions including back and neck pain, allergies, vocal polyps, uterine fibroids, anxiety, and tinnitus. In fact, after suffering for months with pulsatile tinnitus, a side effect of a severe upper respiratory infection, my ears popped immediately half-way through the first treatment and my symptoms resolved completely within a few weeks. For those that are new to acupuncture, it is important to understand that acupuncture treatments are dose dependent like most interventions. Therefore, you will likely need to make a commitment to weekly (or even twice weekly, depending on the condition) for 5 to 12 weeks to see long term results. Most of the evidence in the world medical literature support this concept along with my own personal experience. I strongly recommend Acupuncture of Columbia for its health outcome effectiveness, kind staff, and relaxing environment. You will not be disappointed.
Acupuncture of Columbia is the most restful and aesthetically pleasing healing environment I have ever encountered. The office staff exude a calming and welcoming presence, and Gina embodies professional excellence, balanced with enthusiasm and peaceful confidence. Every session is like a spa treatment, and I feel spoiled and so privileged to be on the receiving end of such wonderful care. Thank you for the intentional and excellent service that you provide, it means so much.
I recently completed 10 acupuncture sessions with Gina to treat plantar fasciitis. If you have ever had plantar fasciitis you know it can be very painful! I have a 98% relief in pain. This was my first experience with acupuncture and pleased I tried it. I would definitely have acupuncture again in the future. The staff members are all very nice adding to my positive experience. The office/patient areas are very relaxing and comfortable which also enhanced whole experience. Thank you Gina,
Gina is FABULOUS! She is kind and compassionate. My acupuncture treatments with her have helped my chronic back pain stay under control. Words can’t express how thankful I am to have found her!!
Acupuncture of Columbia, Inc. is the place to be for healing the past and the present for a healthy future here and now. I started going to Gina Butler for help with numerous symptoms, triggered by an in-depth call for healing, by my body, hosting a skeletal system violated in my childhood. It's been a long healing journey, and it has moved miraculously, thanks to Gina being a key healer, on my team, with her acupuncture and Chinese herbs. I appreciate her greatly, along with her welcoming and caring staff! ❤️
If you have chronic pain or a swelling problem and pain medication hasn't worked--this is the place to go. Gina is an expert at relieving pain and her staff is wonderful. Just as importantly, her treatments fixed my insomnia and relieved my anxiety symptoms. Acupuncture of Columbia has my highest recommendation!
Gina and her staff are wonderful. Acupuncture really helps me relax and overcome some serious stress responses especially in my shoulders and neck. I always look forward to my appointments.
I’ve been a client at Acupuncture of Columbia for a while now and I’ve been consistently happy with everything about this place! Gina and her staff are kind, friendly, and very accommodating. Everyone takes such stock in my concerns and does everything in their power to make my experience comfortable. I always leave feeling calmer, happier, and lighter. I can not recommend this place enough!!
I came to Acupuncture of Columbia knowing it was my last hope. MD’s were no help. Etiology Unknown, that’s what I was left with. I’m so very happy to find someone like Gina in mid Missouri. I am coming along leaps and bounds. Wonderful experience in a Spa environment.
I look forward to every appointment I have - In addition to the healing affects of acupuncture, I know it will be a 30-minute window in my day to totally relax and recharge. Very thankful for Gina and the whole team at Acupuncture of Columbia!
I went to see Gina at Acupuncture of Columbia after coming from Florida. At that time, I had lower back pain that was difficult for me to walk. After the 3rd session of acupuncture, I improved where I could regain movement and able to do my morning walks. It was my first experience which I highly recommend this acupuncture center. Thanks to Gina and all the staff at Acupuncture of Columbia.
I’m a 37 year old woman and spent about nine months trying to get pregnant. I saw a reproductive endocrinologist in August 2024 and even though our test results came back relatively normal, the doctor gave us some rather dire statistics about our likelihood of conceiving naturally and encouraged us to start pursuing IUI. Feeling pressured and frustrated by the coldness of western medicine I sought out acupuncture and I’ll be forever thankful that I did. From my first meeting with Gina, she offered everything that had previously been lacking about my fertility care: questions, excitement, and most importantly warmth. Gina put together a three month holistic treatment plan designed not only to increase my likelihood of getting pregnant but to keep me feeling like a human and a woman through what can be the relatively cold process of a fertility journey. Every session started with, “how are you feeling today?” And the follow up to that question was almost always “I can fix that”. And in the end, we didn’t need the three-month treatment program. Around 6 weeks after I started seeing Gina, I became pregnant with my first child. As of this week, I just finished my first trimester and am expecting a healthy baby in August. Gina’s care didn’t stop with my pregnancy though, she got me through the survival trimester: treating the worry of the unknown, the intense fatigue and the constant nausea. I am an acupuncture success story as far as my pregnancy goes but I’m thankful to Gina and the whole team at Columbia Integrative (including the amazing Sam!) for providing comfort, warmth and relaxation in what could have been the most stressful time in my life!
