Thank you for the session yesterday. You were so through with the intake and treatment and I loved your space. My body definitely feels different. I feel more connected to my entire body and my right arm feels better. Thanks a lot.

This was my first experience with acupuncture and Sofia was great at explaining what was going on and why she was doing what she was doing, and really took a lot of time to figure out who I am and what sorts of things she might be able to help with. The whole experience was relaxing and regenerating. I highly recommend her to anyone, especially those curious to try out acupuncture for the first time!

So I have had acupuncture before but it was many moons ago. I still wasn’t totally convinced that it was something that worked for me but I was having such pain in my shoulder, I realized I needed to try something new. Massage wasn’t helping, some pain pills were but lets face it… you can’t be on pain pills forever. After hearing some success stories, I decided to try acupuncture again and I found Sophia. Wow! My first treatment was amazing and SO relaxing. I felt like I was high(I hear this is a common feeling, especially at first). I was relaxed and when I got up after the treatment, I kid you not… the pain was gone! Sophia explained to me that it would probably come back(but not in full force) but with regular acupuncture sessions, it could eventually go away completely. I went for my second appointment and once again, it helped my pain… so I am sold! :) Sophia is patient, listens and helps. What more could you ask for?

Sophia helped with my severe neck and back pain. The first time I had acupuncture with Sophia it felt as though I had taken a pain pill– it was that good. When I had knee surgery, Sophia Scheffel treated both pre and post op. I did not need pain medicine, and my knee never swelled post surgery– Yeah! I recovered in a few days due to the excellent care.

I’ve been using acupuncture for about 3 years now to treat chronic back pain and more recently, poor circulation/low body-temp. I saw Sophia for the first time last week and had a great experience! Sophia was very gentle and knowledgeable and gave me very helpful information and herbs to treat my poor circulation/low-body temp. I was very relaxed and fell asleep during my session! I feel great!
