Holistic Medicine With Dr. Sally

Do you have insomnia? Digestive problems? Are you depressed or anxious? 

Are you ready to improve the quality of your life? To be free of pain and discomfort? Rather than covering up the suffering, get to the root cause of imbalance. Transformation, ease and good health of mind, body and spirit, come with letting go of restricting beliefs and old patterns that are lodged in our energetic channels. Open yourself up to the possibilities of healing.

Sessions can include acupuncture, moxibustion, cupping, muscle testing, intuitive energy healing and dietary and herbal recommendations.

5/5

Dr. Sally has played a key part in the maintenance of my health and vitality for at least fifteen years.  What do I love about working with Sally? Where do I start? She is not only vastly knowledgeable in the healing arts, but intuitive and wise. Sally holds safe space and meets me where I’m at. Her strategies towards my health are made with me and address my body and being as a whole. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve come to her with a set of symptoms, a diagnosis or even a chronic issue and had them resolved——  sometimes in just a session or two.  

I especially recommend Dr. Sally if you are new to acupuncture treatments. For years, I had a deep fear of needles, but Sally put me at ease and I began to enjoy deep relaxation as a bonus to the sessions I received. If your body seems to react to certain foods or other elements, Her NAET sessions are incredibly effective at honing in on the culprits and eliminating allergies and sensitivities. And her long distance Qi Gong sessions have cleared my spirit and rid my body of symptoms I’ve lived with for years. 

If you are looking for resolution to dis-ease and desire balance and flow in your body, connect with Dr. Sally!

Sally Sherriff is a master in the healing arts! She has helped support and strengthen my health in so many ways over the last 2 years. I began seeing her to help with digestive problems that have been eluding western medicine for years. Seeing her weekly and sometimes twice a week for the last several months has greatly alleviated my symptoms! I highly recommend Sally as an acupuncturist and especially for anyone struggling with allergies or food sensitivities. She has extensive training in traditional Japanese and Chinese Medicine and honors each persons unique needs. Her compassionate touch and loving energy always leaves me feeling nurtured and nourished.
