“I was 1st diagnosed with Alpha Gal in 2016 after going into anaphylactic shock one day after eating beef. It of course took several weeks for the diagnosis of an allergy I had never heard of, and I was quite upset to find that I needed to eliminate beef, pork and most dairy from my diet.Over the next several months I learned that I not only needed to vigorously manage my diet and how my food was prepared, but ensure I used only vegan shampoos, soaps, deodorant, and detergents.I was able to avoid another incident of anaphylaxis but did make a few trips to Urgent Care over the years due largely to cross-contamination and would need a dose of prednisone at least once a year to calm down the skin inflammation I would experience, in spite of my best efforts to avoid them.Late in 2022 a family member shared a study by the NIH with me regarding Soliman Auricular Allergy Treatment (SSAT) acupuncture treatment for alpha-gal and other allergies.After a search for local providers, I was referred to Jennifer Stapanon of Body-Mend Therapies in Leonardtown, MD. Jennifer placed the small needles in my right ear where they remained for 3 weeks.Jennifer also took the time on the 1st visit to perform what was an incredibly detailed interview of my entire medical history, and also treated me for issues such as joint pain, stress and sleep deprivation, all with fantastic results.Easter came a short time later and I carefully experimented with a small portion of ham – no reaction. Later that week I had a slightly larger portion – no reaction.In the coming weeks I would try a bit of steak, and then an entire 9 oz. steak, and eventually the meal I missed the most, Kansas City Baby Back Ribs – no reaction.This has truly been life changing and I recommend her treatments to anyone in need!Joe“
“Gwynne is a skillful and knowledgeable professional. She focused exactly where I requested and provided a relaxed and comfortable environment. Such a positive spirit with a great attitude and attention to detail. I will be returning soon would certainly recommend her to anyone reading this!“
“Well first off. As soon as I walked in, I felt like I was in wonderful hands. From the first friendly smile shown to me from everyone. My case has not been an easy one. I have head, neck, shoulder, spinal fusions, knee injuries. So for three and a half years they have gotten me back to being able to live somewhat like I used to. I'm truly grateful and would and do recommend them to everyone I know. Yes everyone runs business to make money. But they show caring, compassion and dedication to their patients.“
“I pass out every time and wake up feeling so relaxed and ten times better than what I did coming in. Magic hands!“

“I highly recommended this salon! I have very long, thick hair that has always overwhelmed stylists. I was long overdue for a hair cut and Heather brought it back to life! Have you ever left a salon with a cut that looks better than the photos you shared? I’m beyond pleased & have found my salon & my go to stylist! Thank you Heather!“
