patient stories

I came in with frozen shoulder that had gradually made everyday movements - getting dressed, reaching into a cupboard, and sleeping on my side - surprisingly difficult. After only 1 treatment, I began noticing that the sharp pain was settling and my arm was moving much more freely, especially when reaching overhead and behind my back. Yeana was thoughtful and attentive at every visit, adjusting the treatment according to what had changed every session.

H.K.

I came to Yeana with severe sciatica that sent sharp pain from my lower back down my leg. I could not sleep comfortably, and even standing or walking for more than a few minutes had become difficult. After 3 sessions, the pain suddenly eased so dramatically that I realized I could finally sleep through the night and walk around without constantly bracing for it. Yeana made me feel comfortable and carefully adjusted each treatment along the way - I felt completely at east trusting her with my care.

At 42, after seven exhausting years of trying to conceive- including five rounds of IVF - I had reached the point where I felt emotionally and physically drained. I started seeing Yeana once a week with no big expectations; I simply wanted a quiet place to rest, reset, and feel cared for while she supported my overall well-being through acupuncture. To our complete surprise, I found out I was pregnant the following month, during a time when I had stepped away from fertility treatments and was only continuing my weekly sessions with Yeana. What made the experience so meaningful was how easy and comforting every appointment felt. Yeana never made treatment feel clinical, stressful, or overwhelming - being with her felt like spending time with a trusted friend who genuinely understood how much I had been through. I cannot say what single factor led to my pregnancy, but after so many years of disappointment, this timing felt nothing short of extraordinary to our family. We will always hold a very special place in our hearts for Yeana and the calm, hope, and care she have us when we needed it most.

I had struggled with endometriosis for years, with severe cramping, sharp pelvic pain, heavy bleeding, large clots, painful bowel movements during my period, and constant lower-back discomfort. Some months, the pain was so intense that I had to cancel plans and stay in bed.

After starting regular acupuncture treatments with Yeana, I gradually noticed that my cramps became less severe, the heavy bleeding and clotting improved, and the pain no longer controlled my entire cycle. She listened carefully, adjusted each treatment to my symptoms, and helped me feel supported throughout the process. For the first time in years, my periods feel much more manageable.

I am a physician with severe chronic neck and low back pain and tried several main stream treatment including two back surgeries, facet, joint injection, motor point injections, etc. Then suddenly developed atrial fib an abnormal cardiac rhythm,in spite of leading a very active and healthy lifestyle, I underwent ablation therapy but unfortunately again developed a fib and was booked for cardioversion treatment.
I wanted to try an integrated medical approach, and reached Yeana. I couldn’t believe that in my first acupuncture treatment miraculously, I cardioverted and my heart rate went into a regular rhythm and has stayed such. My spinal pains are also improving. She is a conscientious, dedicated, knowledgeable, intentional, and experienced healer. The perfect combination you want from your healer. She carries a gentle, empathetic mannerism. Her communication is skilful and comforting. Her workplace is serene, calming, warm, and welcoming. I feel privileged and confident of putting my health issues in her hand. Besides being a great acupuncturist, she is a good human being. I am sharing this unique experience, so that those reading this will benefit in making an informed decision.
