Fannie is a superstar! She is calm, understanding, and patient, not to mention funny as heck, and GREAT at her job. I go to her for acupuncture, dry needling (this HURTS but boy will that knot be gone in a flash), and herbs, and I always leave floating on a cloud.

At first my body was somewhat resistant because of my sustained injuries, but after only a couple sessions I already felt a difference and... read full review
