Every January I do something different, something sort of out of the box that isn't totally thought out and planned so I decided this year to find an acupuncturist out of the ether to treat insomnia, anxiety and stress issues which have been plaguing me on and off for the past 5 years. I've used acupuncture before for various issues and believe it works sometimes and maybe not others, depends upon the condition and the practitioner along with many other factors. I poked around on the internet and found Nan Yi's reviews on City Search which were very positive so I cast any doubts to the wind and made an appointment. To cut to the chase: I started with two sessions a week for approx. 6 weeks and then moved to one session a week after that and am now seeing her once every two weeks. My anxiety issues have been cut by more than half, way better results than drugs, meditation, therapy etc. Sleep goes up and down but has very definitely improved to the point where I can count on at least 6 hours of straight sleep a night, a vast improvement, but overall I feel more in control of my emotions and life in general. Nan Yi said at a certain age (that would be 50 folks) our energy meridians can get so out of whack that they kind of short circuit on us and they need a tune up, realignment and/or house cleaning. I honestly believe that's what Nan Yi has accomplished with me. I'm not perfect, who is, but I am so much more in control of my emotions, manage my sleep issues better and have out of the blue acquired stronger and calmer leadership qualities along the way. Things connected to my work that a few months ago would have sent me into a tailspin are now manageable and not in any way overwhelming. I'm more in control without being freaked out about needing to be IN CONTROL. Does that make sense? Simply put: my nervous system is in a much better place and I chalk it up to Nan Yi's work. Thanks Nan Yi! John Walker
