Success Stories

I came to Megan with a rather long list of miscellaneous ailments - chronic back pain, nicotine withdrawal anxiety, extreme menorrhagia, a bit of chronic fatigue - and a general sense that Western medicine was never going to help. Megan has the most amazing bedside manner, with empathy, focus, clarity and such great listening. I was immediately at ease and started learning about her work and my own body right away. What an amazing discovery that my whole miscellaneous list could all be seen as a whole, and treated as such. Within a week of beginning acupuncture and even more so within 24 hours of beginning Chinese herbs, I felt so much better! Megan's work is not only making me feel much better but also opening my world to so much more understanding and possibility. ~ Leah

As an adult, I had been led to believe by doctors that the only way of relieving my acne was through medication and facial creams, and that my problems with IBS were incurable. I decided to go with my gut reaction, which is these problems can be cured and medication is not always necessary. Soon, a direct path to Megan and Chinese Medicine was provided. After just a few months of drinking herbs and changing my diet, my skin cleared up dramatically; my IBS symptoms were dissolving; and my personal well-being finally took a front seat. What a gift to have someone like Megan who actually cares about how you are feeling, as well as how your symptoms are slowly fading. "Incurable," I have found, is never the answer.~ Heather

I was born with an extremely rare deficiency of the immune system. By the time I was fifteen years old, I had suffered from three different extremely dangerous infections. Any one of those illnesses could have taken my life, and two of the three fell under a doctor's classification as, "something I've never seen before in my career."… [Now, after a year of treatments] I can say without hesitation that I feel stronger and healthier than I have in a very, very long time. I can run farther, jump higher, and breathe more deeply than I could ten years ago. Most importantly, as I recently told Megan, for the first time since my youngest years, I am not fundamentally afraid of becoming sick.~ Andrew

Megan is so much more than a knowledgeable practitioner of a time-proven approach to healing -- although if she were only that, she would be well worth her modest fees for her services. I have received acupuncture treatments from a number of practitioners, and few have tapped into my body's energy flows as powerfully as Megan. Her understanding of the use of herbs is equally impressive. But what sets Megan apart is that she is not merely a healer, but also a teacher. From day one, she told me that her goal was not only to make my body healthier, but to help me understand my own power to restore myself to health.~ Andrew

Megan Odell has an extraordinary gift for healing. She pairs her years of professional training in the traditional science of acupuncture and Chinese medicine with her incredibly perceptive intuition for finding the root cause of sickness. My curiosity about acupuncture was initially paired with a bit of skepticism. After three of her treatments I was convinced not only of their immediate but their compounded results. I will certainly seek out a Western doctor if I break my arm but given the results, the affordability (especially vs. the costs of Western medicine) and the safe, holistic environment she offers, I now look first to Megan and her acupuncture for good health. I can honestly say I feel better after every single treatment. ~ Eric
