Testimonials

Deb Pulver is a survivor. She faced cancer head-on and has been in remission for 15 years.

Her diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer were the most challenging times of her life; she credits acupuncture for helping her get through it and recover quickly.

“I knew that I wanted something to help me deal with the chemotherapy and all the toxins that were being put in my body,” says Deb. “I was amazed by how much acupuncture helped me physically and emotionally during that time.”

Deb had an acupuncture treatment before and after every round of chemotherapy. She says it helped her body and mind prepare for what was to come,  as well as recover more quickly.

“Abby knew what chemotherapy drugs they would be administering and she would educate me on what to do to get through it. She would tell me what food to eat, and what nutrients I needed so I wouldn’t feel dehydrated. She told me what to do to help my body heal, and it made things so much easier than I imagined.”

Acupuncture helped me physically and emotionally. I couldn't do cancer without Abby and Des Moines Acupuncture. I never got sick during chemotherapy and I could ride my horse the entire time. She made me feel like I could beat it, and that is huge when you are fighting cancer.

Acupuncture changed my life. Doctors told me I would need to be on medications with serious side effects the rest of my life. As a young mom, I was scared for my future health. Abby helped me figure out what was causing my pain, and now I'm medication free and feeling great. I'm so thankful I found Des Moines Acupuncture.

I went to Des Moines Acupuncture totally skeptical. I wasn't on the table for more than 5 minutes when my sinuses popped opened. I was completely shocked. I hadn't been able to breathe well for such a long time, and suddenly I could smell things again. It was a dramatic experience. Acupuncture has given me so much.

No one could identify the cause of my pain. After my first treatment at Des Moines Acupuncture, the pain was gone. As each needle went in, a part of my pain began to dissipate. The tension left when I got up from the table, and I was a different person than the one who came in. I could move freely and sleep more comfortably. Acupuncture has given me back a part of my life that means very much to me, [Taekwondo]. I am extremely grateful for Abby’s care.

I was almost in disbelief as each week went by and my belly got bigger and bigger. I had a great pregnancy and my baby girl was born on her due date. Acupuncture, the bond and emotional support Abby gave me, along with nutritional education all worked together to foster [two] healthy pregnancies. I totally stand by it as being the reason my pregnancies with Margaux and Celine worked out. I have my happy ending - two times over!

I can't put into words what acupuncture did for me. The calm feeling I experience with acupuncture is something I have never experienced before. It makes my body, my mind, and my nerves feel so much better. It eliminated problems I didn't even know I had. Abby saved me.
