I started going to Marina Vodovoz because of a chronic cough for over 3 months. Marina does a thorough evaluation of my conditions before starting anything. Marina’s combination of acupuncture, massage, living oils and many other techniques have really helped me. She has helped me with sinus problems, sore muscles and acid reflux. I always feel much better both emotionally and physically the next day. i have more energy and feel great. I was surprised to find the procedure relaxing and relatively pain free. It is a very inviting, calm & peaceful atmosphere.

For several weeks, I had been experiencing disturbed sleep and a chronic cough that I just could not shake. I had read about acupuncture and a friend recommended acupuncturist, Marina Vodovoz of Acupuncture Stream. Marina initially asked me questions to assess my current state of health. Based on what I had told her, as I comfortably reclined in a lounge chair, she painlessly inserted acupuncture needles at various points on my body explaining what and why she was doing as she proceeded. I then quietly laid still for about 45 minutes loving the sense of peace and relaxation that I felt. Marina then removed the needles, but her care did not stop there. She massaged(she is also a licensed massage therapist) eucalyptus oil into some of the acupressure points on my body which corresponded with the points she had previously stimulated with the needles. As it turned out I had more than a few sore spots around my body. Marina’s knowledge of healing is extensive and she explained why these spots were tender and how they correlated with what was going on in my body, specifically my disturbed sleep and cough. After several visits, my cough completely disappeared and my sleep has improved immeasurably. I continue to see Marina not just for specific issues but also for a periodic general body/mind tuneup. Marina is a very compassionate and caring practitioner. She radiates a very upbeat and positive aura. It is impossible not be treated by Marina’s skilled hands and not come away feeling great both emotionally and physically.
