    Dr. Yu is attentive and extremely talented. She is a wonderful acupuncturist who takes the time to care for her patients in a compassionate, understanding manner. I would highly recommend her services! She helped my breeched baby turn and helped accelerate my stalled labor. I am forever grateful.

    I was looking for a therapeutic massage for my father, 96, who suffers from sciatica and has a long medical history. I was very impressed with the professionalism and skill of the Alterna therapist. I would definitely take my father back.

    I love the acupressure therapy from Alterna Wellness! I've had many different types of massages, including Thai, hot stone, and deep tissue, and acupressure is by far my favorite. The treatment really gets to the core of my easing my tense muscles. I would highly recommend going for a massage here, especially if you have tense muscles.

    I got the Amazon Local deal acupressure massage, and it was definitely the most dynamic massage I've had. This is NOT shiatsu! I'd say it's a cross between Thai and deep tissue, and acupressure (of course).
    My boyfriend and I both had a deal, and they were able to book a back-to-back appointment for us on a Saturday. Not only this, but they got started on us early. The technician was very professional, but had a relaxed demeanor which put me at ease.
    We both were delighted by the massage, the efficiency, and the personnel at the clinic, and would definitely recommend it to anyone willing to try out something different! :)
