Salin is by far the most knowledgeable, caring acupuncturist I have ever had. After every session, I have left feeling more relaxed and, in general, just feeling much better. My whole family goes to her and absolutely loves her as well. Thanks Salin!!!

I visited Salin for ongoing digestive issues, eczema and fatigue and in less than 24 hours my stomach discomfort and the inflammation in my eczema had completely disappeared, and I felt more energetic. I will definitely visit again and would highly recommend Salin. She takes the time to listen and really work on the root cause with amazing results. Thank you Salin!

I went to see Salin when visiting family in the island, and experienced a bad flare-up with my wrist. She used electro acupuncture on me, and I was in way less pain the next day. It really gave longer relief than my usual acupuncturist. She also texted to check up on me, and suggest B6 for the pain. I'm using it and noticed a decrease in pain. Can't wait till we move closer one day so she's my regular acupuncturist! Highly recommended.

I had terrible eczema on my arms and hands for years before I came to Salin. My regular doctor just gave me steroid cream, and the skin specialist that I saw told that it was hereditary and incurable. But Salin has managed to almost completely clear it up! My skin is 99% better, and eliminating the constant itch has done wonders for my mental/overall health and sleep. I ABSOLUTELY RECOMMEND seeing this amazing woman. I am beyond grateful for her. Thank you Salin!

Excellent acupuncturist nerve pain in my jaw for over 3 years. Dentists and oral surgeon and GP were unable to diagnose or cure. On my first visit to Salin she not only diagnosed and cured it, she also did internet research and provided me with informative facts. Salin is a very gentle and caring practitioner with an immaculate salon and all Covid protocols in place. Cannot recommend her highly enough.

Salin is delightful, extremely thorough and has enormously helped both my husband and I. The clinic is spotless and her safety protocols excellent. With the 1-1/2 hour appointments there is plenty of time to review and update Salin with health issues and treatment progress. Salin's rates for her services are extremely reasonable and the clinic is conveniently located. She goes the extra mile for you!
