  • “My experience with Tammy has been amazing! I feel like you get what you give with acupuncture, you can have a really excellent treatment if you are open and allow your body to receive the healing. I liked hearing Tammy call it a "needle nap"....as someone who is not a fan of needles, it's a piece of cake and surprisingly I found myself able to relax even on the first visit.”

    — Emma

  • "After treating multiple tick infections with antibiotics and getting sicker (gut issues, lack of sleep, dizziness, adrenal fatigue, etc.) I decided to try acupuncture. Tammy is a wonderful practitioner. She listened to my concerns and treated me with multiple techniques and modalities. I would highly recommend."

    — S. B.

  • "Tammy has been nothing short of a gift to me in so many ways. I have lived with (at times) life-altering and debilitating back pain and I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that her acupuncture treatments have been nothing short of miraculous for me. It has changed my life and has given me hope and relief in knowing that I have an invaluable resource right here on Nantucket."
