Irritable bowel syndrome had dominated my life for the last 5 years. Thanks to Christine’s understanding treatment combining acupuncture and chinese remedies, my quality of life has improved by 100%.

After many visits to doctors for my daughter’s painful knee, I turned to alternative medicine. I found it easy to entrust my 9 year old to Christine’s care. Her bedside manner was caring and professional, and since her acupuncture treatments, my daughter has been able to fully participate in sports without any pain to her knee.

Christine’s acupuncture treatments and the herbs she prescribed quickly relieved, and eventually resolved the pain, excess flow, and emotion during my periods. I can’t imagine having gone through this without Christine’s help.

After six months of trying to conceive the natural way, we went to see my OBGYN, who also happened to specialize in infertility. My husband and I both went in and had several tests done to evaluate our fertility status. As it turned out, my husband- as smoker of 30 years- had a low sperm count, and I had one blocked fallopian tube. Per our doctors recommendation we began the process of assisted reproductive medicine. After several tries without success, we proceeded to stronger medications and an in-vitro insemination- again without success. this routine did not work for us, and it was quite emotionally and financially draining. After 2 years we decides to try something else, or just adopt. Quite coincidentally, at a holiday party, I ran into an old girfriend six months pregnant. I knew that they had been trying for a second child for at least a decade! She told me that Chinese Medicine had been the key for her. A week later I took an appointment with Dr.Christine. She recommended to relax more, meditate, taking long waik, exercise gently (yoga, swimming). She told me that stress affect the reproductive hormornes. I started to visualize being pregnant during the acupuncture’s treatments. After 14 months of treatment we were pregnant. And we did the old fashioned way. We are so appreciative the three of us…

I am 27 years old and have been suffering from chronic back pain and neck for over five years due to a chiropractic session gone wrong. Christine quickly identified the exact places in my body where I was having issues. Within five minutes she pressed on the tops of my shoulders, my jaw, and the inside of my calves to find sore spots I didn’t even know I had! She also evaluated my feet and figured out the way I was walking was contributing to my pain. After only two sessions with her I already feel remarkably better. The inflammation in my neck had decreased considerably and I have a lot more energy for daily life. What a relief to not be in pain all the time! Christin Tarra is truly a gifted healer. She is helping me work on my circulation and anxiety as well. Her gentle touch is so very restorative. I don’t know what I would do without her.
