Crossings

Loved my massage from Holly, and it had a very zen office area. I came in with some serious neck pain and left with more mobility and feeling quite relaxed. It looks like crossings also offers some interesting classes including yoga and meditation. I will definitely be coming back in the future.

I have seen Jane Grissmer for a couple years, and now consider her my primary care physician. She and a physical therapist at crossings diagnosed my leg pain as a hip problem, which my GP had missed. I also used her to help my son with some urinary problems, and both my daughters and my husband have been in to see her. I can’t say enough about the place!

I have had a good experience at Crossings. I have been seeing Jane Grissmer for years. I was an acupuncture skeptic for many years before I began treatment with Jane. Before agreeing to try acupuncture, I got a couple of recommendations from within the industry (easy to do when your sister is an acupuncturist). My seasonal allergies are much, much better now. I take herbs that Jane has prescribed as well. Unfortunately, I am guilty for not going regularly. When you are chronic issues, you should go regularly.
If you are interested in acupuncture, but are not sure about it, talk to more than one practitioner before starting treatment. I was exposed to acupuncturists that my sister knew from her training at the Tai Sophia Institute (now the Maryland University of Integrative Health.) This organization has a «Find a Practitioner» page.
Most important, you have to feel comfortable with your acupuncturist. Personalities do not always click. If after a session or two, you don’t look forward to seeing your acupuncturist again, don’t — but don’t give up on acupuncture!
For acupuncture to be successful, you must be comfortable talking with your acupuncturist. Unlike the typical western medicine MD, a good acupuncturist will want to listen to you. The downside of this is. .. your acupuncturist can get behind schedule. Knowing this, I avoid scheduling with Jane in the afternoon.

I have only been to Dr. Christina Steele, who is a a wonderful osteopath. My whole family has gone to her, and she has helped us tremendously heal, get stronger and feel better. I highly recommend her as osteopath. She is a beautiful person with great energy and magical healing hands.

I have only been here once, for yoga nidra, so I don’t much about the other offerings. However, the space is nice, with a nice shop with CDs, relaxation stuff, books, etc. It’s a little weird being in an office building and having flourescent lights, but those get turned off for the session anyways. The walls are nicely painted, and there are big windows (at least in the room we were in). I thought the noise from Fenton St was going to be frustrating, but I never even noticed it once we got started.
