FIRST-HAND ACCOUNTS

Overall Health and Relaxation

“Sharon Lim-Hing always makes me feel comfortable and relaxed. She carefully listens to what I tell her, is extremely thorough and very gentle. She continually introduces new approaches and suggests additional strategies, such as homeopathic remedies or dietary changes that supplement her treatments. I always look forward to seeing her and feel better and more balanced when I leave.”


Kelley, 46, university professor

Tinnitus


“For the past 10 years I have worked in constantly noisy environments -- data closets and server rooms that have all kinds of white noise. Tinnitus has plagued me for many of these years and I have seen your typical western medicine doctors to no avail. Basically was told I have advanced hearing loss, come back and see me in five years. Then I broke down and tried acupuncture for the constant ringing and I have to admit after a few visits I started hearing less of that pesky whining in my ears. After 3 months I had a lot less ringing and even days when I had none at all! I would highly recommend Sharon Lim-Hing to anyone who has this problem and can't get any relief! I am sold for sure!”

Mike, 41, network and security professional

Repetitive Strain Injury


“When my hand became sore from using the computer too much, Sharon suggested I couple her acupuncture and homeopathy treatments with the conventional medical advice I was already receiving. Within minutes, Sharon had relieved the pain and prescribed a plan that has kept me well ever since.”


Aaron, 25, design consultant

Painful Menstrual Cramps


“I had excruciating menstrual cramps and no over-the-counter drug seemed to work. Sharon not only relieved my pain, but gave me a treatment that I could use at home.”


Linda, 41, product marketing manager

Athletic Injuries


“Only accustomed to western medical treatment, I was very surprised at how quickly Sharon’s treatments shortened my sprained ankle recovery time. Her patience and detailed diagnostic questions got me on my feet and running again in less than 3 weeks, when a sprain that serious would usually keep me from running for 6 or more weeks. I know, because before seeing Sharon I repeatedly sprained that ankle. Sharon truly has a gift– and a patient for life.”


Joe, 35, marathon runner

Athletic Injury, TMJ, Stress


“I had a serious groin injury from over-training for a marathon summer 2005. I had no idea that acupuncture could help me, but decided to give it a try. I went to Sharon whom I had already gone to for TMJ and stress relief. After the second session, my groin was completely healed. I became a true believer of the benefits of acupuncture.

“Sharon inquires about my overall state of being - emotional, dietary, physical, psychological - to get to the root of my pain or stress. That's very important to me because all these things affect my health. She's also very gentle. Sharon Lim-Hing is an exceptional acupuncturist.”

Allergies, PMS, Muscle Pain


“I started seeing Sharon Lim-Hing for several health reasons including allergies, PMS, and muscle pain. The symptoms and conditions lessened and went away with regular visits.

“What I've enjoyed most about her as a practitioner is that she has an intellectual approach, as well as empathy and compassion. I always feel comfortable sharing with her what was on my mind, and she takes this into account when administering treatment. I wholeheartedly recommend Sharon Lim-Hing to anyone seeking better health and well-being!”


Bhavana, 28, non-profit women’s issues

Depression


“After being diagnosed with depression five years ago and taking medication, it was only after I received acupuncture from Sharon that I really begin to feel better about myself and my life. Thank you!”

Restricted Breathing, Poor Circulation


“I highly recommend Sharon as an acupuncturist. My primary health concerns that she has helped me with are intermittent restricted breathing brought on by stress, and poor circulation in my legs. With regards to my primary concerns, her care has been very effective. Her approach has been focused on my whole health, not just the particular symptoms I am expressing at the time of the appointment, and consequently, my particular symptoms have improved (in the case of my circulation) and completely abated (in the case of the restricted breathing). Such is the effectiveness of acupuncture.

“What makes my sessions with Sharon remarkable, is that she tries different approaches to accomplish her goals, and that she explains what she is doing and why so very well. I find that I always learn something from the time spent with her, whether it is directly about what she is doing, or about other, related topics.

“Also, as a chiropractor, I have recommended some of my patients to Sharon, and I have gotten very positive feedback from them as well.”


Tim, 47, chiropractor

Digestive Problems


“I came to Sharon for undiagnosed digestive problems. Her fund of knowledge on health issues is tremendous. Through her excellent health questions and observations of my response to treatment, she was able to help me sidestep a potentially serious health problem. She is a smart and caring health practitioner whom I recommend without reservation ”


Caroline, 53, tax accountant

Neck Pain, Back Pain

“I'd stubbornly ignored my persistent neck and upper back pain for some time. Sharon began a series of acupuncture treatments that proved VERY effective and provided a welcome alternative to constant pain. She's definitelygotten me back on track to healthier and happier living.”

Trevor, 32, network engineer

Severe Back Pain

After months of consulting various medical specialists for severe back pain, Sharon Lim-Hing’s acupuncture treatments completely relieved my pain. I haven’t felt this good in six months.”

Marie, 84 years old, retired small business owner

Back Spasms

“I first came to Sharon suffering from severe episodes of premenstrual low back pain for the past two years. The pain of the spasms was so great that I would have to fall to my knees, as well as cry out at times, while I was at work with clients. Sharon evaluated me and performed acupuncture and moxa on my lower back. My back felt a lot better by the end of the treatment. The following day, the pain was gone. The pain has not returned since my treatment. I am a firm believer in Sharon's expertise. I would highly recommend Sharon, based on her knowledge and her calm, caring demeanor. She helped me to feel healed.”


Claudia, 38, speech-language pathologist

Knee Pain

“I had been having pains in my knees for the past year and had tried doing exercises and taking medicine. I finally decided to give acupuncture a try, and found it full of surprises. First of all, it is relaxing--who would have thought, considering there are needles involved! It wasn't painful at all. Sharon has such a great, calm persona that it actually makes me look forward to doctor's visits!

“Sharon also surprised me in that through her examination she could point out different problem areas I knew I had, but hadn't mentioned, which made me feel that she was concerned for my overall wellness.

“And most surprising, is that the acupuncture actually worked (I was skeptical). After just one treatment I was back to running regularly and taking the stairs. I was thrilled to find such a natural remedy for a problem that I thought was doomed to be chronic. Thank you, Sharon, for making me realize there are more solutions than the ones I had considered. Now I am inspired to find out if other ailments that I had consigned to as 'part of life,' can also be addressed. I'm looking forward to exploring that in my next appointment!”


Anna, 30, public health researcher

Recurrent Miscarriages

“Sharon was referred to me by an infertility nurse at Massachusetts General Hospital. I was 36 years old and had suffered two miscarriages in a 6 month time period and wanted help to relax and hopefully conceive quickly and successfully. Though tests at MGH I was found to have a slight auto-immune disorder that results in a higher miscarriage rate. Prior to treatment I was depressed and felt defeated.

“In only ONE month of treatment I became pregnant and continued treatment into the second trimester. Sharon's work helped me not only to conceive but also to bring full term twins to make our family. I fully recommend acupuncture to women either trying to conceive, those with recurrent miscarriages, or women suffering from infertility. My boy/girl twins were conceived naturally and they are beautiful and healthy!”


Kim, 37, pharmaceutical representative
