After such a fantastic experience with my tui na massage with Shermie, I began receiving acupuncture treatments at regular intervals (as frequently as every 2 weeks). It is my first experience with acupuncture, and Shermie has been an incredible guide and teacher regarding the treatment process and Chinese medicine in general. It has been 9 months since I first began the acupuncture treatments with Shermie, and they have made a remarkable impact on my stress and anxiety levels, which have been difficult for me to manage for most of my life. My friends and family have noticed a difference in my overall demeanor as well as my reactions to triggering stressors. In addition to the acupuncture treatments, Shermie has helped inform me towards health solutions and ideas from Chinese medicine, which has really opened up my word and expanded my vision beyond western medicine practice. One example would be recommending some different foods to introduce in my diet to help nourish the blood. Shermie certainly goes above and beyond during treatment to ensure that I’m comfortable and always answers all of my questions. I am so grateful to her for making my introduction to acupuncture and Chinese medicine so effective and successful!

I’ve been receiving acupuncture and Tui Na massage from Shermie at regular intervals for almost a year. I find acupuncture helps me to manage my health and stress level, and I rely on my appointments with Shermie for much needed balance and relaxation. Since I’ve been seeing her, my back and neck pains have decreased significantly, to the point where I have a hard time remembering how stiff and sore I used to feel on a regular basis. Shermie is also very generous with her time during appointments, and very focused on the treatment throughout the process. She tries new points and adjustments and asks a lot of questions to find out exactly what’s going on with me. I strongly recommend her practice for anyone looking for a combination of acupuncture and Tui Na, provided by a practitioner who is very committed to tracking your progress and overall health.

A choreographer friend of mine recommended Shermie to me and boy am I grateful. Since this was my first experience with acupuncture, I had a lot of questions. She spent a lot of time explaining her approach and really tried to get to know what was going on with me and my body. She is a most attentive and caring practitioner.
I initially sought out acupuncture to help with elbow Tendinitis. After a series of weekly visits, my pain disappeared completely. More interesting to me was the fact that other maladies I was having also magically went away including a case of IBD that I have had for years. Her Tui Na massage technique is great as well. Shermie is a real find and I cannot recommend her enough!

Shermie was my first experience with acupuncture. She is amazing. Shermie is a gentle needler and was kind and answered all my questions. She is a true healer with an intuitive ability and touch. I cannot reccommend her more highly.
I had a sudden back trauma and Shermie was able to help quickly and reduced my pain (and anxiety) with relatively few needles. I could stand straight afterwards! Yay! It was amazing! She has also helped also with plantar fasciitis, knee pain and head aches.
She has also performed Tui Na massage and it is great. She seems to know the right amount of pressure and it has increased flexibility and loosened things up. I felt great after! Thanks Shermie!

i’m surprised to be the first to review shermie! i bet it’s because her other clients want to keep her a secret so she doesn’t get too booked :)
shermie was highly recommended to me by my beloved acupuncturist, carol francois.
she is an incredible, smart, and intuitive healer.
she practices tui na massage, which is a form of chinese medicine.
since tui na massage requires the patient/​receiver to be fully clothed (no greasy oils/​lotions!), i was initially worried that the pressure would be too weak and unsatisfying, but, thankfully, i was wrong.
in fact, i’d say that shermie’s tui na is comparable in pressure to a really great deep tissue massage.
her massages are actually more therapeutic for me because she really knows her anatomy and chinese pressure points (she recently received her acupuncture license).
she skillfully combines both, and the result is a slice of zen heaven.
