Jane Avoy: After years of treating seasonal allergies with OTC tablets and eyedrops, I decided to try acupuncture. After a short time of Kristin’s treatment, my eyes feel moist, they don’t burn or itch like before, and I don’t rely on eye drops. I know this is an ongoing process to help with my symptoms (sinus pressure and congestion, irritated eyes, headache) and I am confident I’ll continue finding relief. I am very pleased

Christean Hunter: It was a few years ago when a good friend of mine told me of some back problems. But it wasn’t until just last year that I realized this pain was something they would settle living with for the rest of their life. As an empath and a feeler, I made it my private duty to find a method to heal them and provide some long-term relief with the absence of western medicine or surgery. And so it began. With some intense research of acupuncture and Chinese medicine. I was determined to find the healer who not only knew the science but used it to heal the specific ailment. I sat on my findings in the North Carolina area for a few months. I wanted to feel the energy of each practitioner to ensure I’ve made the right decision (my friend is not easy to please) and when I was finally ready to schedule, I gave Kristin a call. Her website was super informative, and she answered all of my questions on our initial phone call. It’s been about two months, and under Kristin’s care, my friend can move about with little to no pain in his lower back and sleeping and sitting are not as irritating as before. We are truly grateful to you Kristin as a healer and a conscious human. From a very special place in my heart, I give thanks to you and your healing hands. You've healed not only my friend, but a brother, a son, and most importantly a Father.

Terri Smith: Amazing results from a true professional! In one visit the pain and weakness in my hand was completely resolved. Kristen also corrected the "golfers elbow" issues I was having and my knee continues to show improvement with reduced swelling and lessening pain. Kristen is a compassionate, intelligent and professional health care practitioner. I highly recommend her acupuncturist and herbal services!

Vicki Sanford: Acupuncture helps me immensely, but what makes The Fountain Acupuncture earn 5 starts in my book is the personal and diverse approach Kristin ten Brock takes in making her assessment and subsequent treatment. She is highly knowledgeable in not only Chinese medicine and herbs, but holistic nutrition as well. I have been coming here for about 6 months and I feel 100% better than I did when I began. Highly recommend!

Annelle Costineau: I have used acupuncture for decades for trigeminal pain, building up my immune system and injuries that life has thrown at me, I have been to acupuncturists in Japan, Australia and Hawaii. All were trained in China, Taiwan or Japan. The one exception is Kristen, who was trained in the United States. Kristen is without a doubt one of , if not, the BEST.My story was one of pain, My physician only offered the solution of medication that made me feel worse than the issue they were treating. Initially, quite frankly, I was desperate to get out of pain from the trigeminal neuralgia,Anyone who has had trigeminal pain understands. I went online and saw stories of people using acupuncture to stop the pain. Desperation causes you to step out of your comfort zone of the status quo. I got incrediblerelief from the initial acupuncture. Now, if and when, I do have pain it is milder with each episode and I immediately get acupuncture. The episodes are fewer and far between. In one treatment Kristen stops the pain.I use acupuncture to boost my immune system.I go many winters without getting sick.Give Kristen the opportunity to help you.She truly cares about her clients and the remedies she uses are quite remarkable. It is will be the most peaceful hour of your week,

Tom Saraceni: I've been receiving acupuncture treatments from Kristin for several months now and I'm very happy with the improvements I'm seeing with my overall health. She has reduced my stress levels and alleviated my back pain allowing me to live a more active lifestyle. Kristin is knowledgeable on the topics of acupuncture and Chinese medicine and will take the time to explain the treatment process. I will continue to see Kristin and receive acupuncture as part of my wellness regimen.

LaFrance Performance: Kristen is very knowledgeable and professional. She took my stress levels down a hundred notches and I haven't slept that good in a long time. I will be seeing her regularly.

Hanna: Elyse changed my life. I struggled with mental health issues for a long time, and tried everything else out there to help, but it wasn't until I began seeing Elyse that my life really started to shift.After several acupuncture sessions and the support of herbs, I feel like a new person who is stable and grounded. I am so much happier now, and also much more self-aware. My body and mind feel significantly more at ease...this feels like a permanent foundation of inner health has been built for the rest of my life. I will always be grateful to Elyse for her compassionate care.

MaryBeth Selby: Elyse is a true healer! Her knowledge and expertise in acupuncture and Chinese Medicine have been nothing short of amazing in terms of producing long lasting results for me. Prior to seeing Elyse, I suffered from intestinal issues that could have required surgery. Her Chinese herbal medicine remedies, ability to read your pulse to diagnose, and acupuncture sessions to balance my body allowed me to heal, avoid surgery and maintain my gut health. I have seen several people who are certified in acupuncture in the past, but none had the skills and expertise that Elyse has. I highly recommend her!

Melanie Buchanan: Elyse has been a godsend for me. This lady is a miracle worker. I have never been to an herbalist/acupuncturist before but after getting nowhere with doctors with my eczema I found her online and decided to give it a try. She was able to get to the root cause of it on the first visit and helped me to not just make it better but get rid of it completely. She really went above and beyond to help me and I am so grateful I found her. I would give her a big hug and kiss to show her how grateful I am to her, but, ya know, Covid. So this review will have to do instead. 😄

armando garr: For decades I have been dealing with insomnia and tried about everything there is, medicines, herbs, teas, relaxation, white noise, sleep clinics, sleep doctors, as well as acupuncture with a Chinese doctor in Raleigh. Nothing worked. While I have prescriptions for sedative hypnotics, I rarely use them as they are addictive. I had settled into taking antihistamines at bedtime, but after years they were not working anymore. I decided to try acupuncture on more time, as I was in desperate need of some sleep. After some research, I chose Classical Acupuncture. I am no fan of needles, and I still don't really understand how all this works, but since my initial appointment I have been able to sleep regularly, something I hadn't experienced since elementary school days. Once I met Elyse, I sensed I was in good hands. Now, several months later, with only periodic treatments and herb pills, I am still sleeping well, don't feel tired during the day and are able to wake up feeling relaxed and energetic. Highly recommended.

Liz Francis Fuquay Varina NC: My feet have never felt so good!. I have had hammer toe that was painful through out my daily activities for years. I had been told that there was nothing to be done to remedy this outside of surgery and pain medication. I am overjoyed that Elyse was able to fix my feet. Looking forward to what comes next. Liz F.

Hanna Lyons: I do maintenance for my car, I do maintenance for my house — and I do maintenance for my self through acupuncture and Chinese herbs with Elyse. I have been seeing Elyse for about 8 years (I can’t believe I am so lucky!). Originally I went to see Elyse because I had been suffering from a chronic illness for about 20 years. I was barely able to take care of myself; I had trouble reading, standing, talking, or driving for more than about 30 minutes. Western medicine had nothing to offer me. I had accepted that my situation was not going to improve and I should make the best of what I had.As soon as I met Elyse I knew that she was different from anyone else I had seen and then I began to see relief for my illness. Rather than simply managing my symptoms, slowly I was able to push my limits to engage more fully in life. As we worked together, Elyse uncovered layers of healing. I am now able to work part-time, to garden, and to enjoy my life beyond my hopes.Originally I saw Elyse once a week, then every two weeks, and then every three weeks. Now I continue to see Elyse for maintenance about every fourth week, depending on my health. I have learned a lot about how to stay well and I have developed a deep respect for Elyse as a healer, and for acupuncture, Chinese herbs and Chinese medicine's power to help me.In the course of daily life there are always ways that I get a little off-kilter. It may be something I eat, exposing myself to something in the environment, getting overheated working in my garden — there’s always something that is otherwise benign (usually) but for me, it makes life more difficult. Maintenance with Elyse is my touchstone, my healing space. I think of my monthly appointment as a treat for myself, a tune-up, a time to get deeply relaxed and in touch with what’s going on in my body and my energy patterns. It's a time to feel loved and to open to healing. I am so very grateful!

Dontgettoknow M: I must admit I was a skeptic. My skepticism was history after the first visit. Chinese medicine is fascinating and Raleigh is lucky to have an expert right here in town. Elise is very personable and a very good listener. She took a lot of time to diagnose and not only prescribed an acupuncture regime but nutritional and herbal components. I would highly recommend her services for those tired of the western model of pills and prescriptions.

Karthik Narayanaswamy: I went in somewhat skeptical, but desperate. I had suffered from allergies, heart burn, and other more private issues for years. Traditional Western medicine had me take a pill for each, with no prospect of eliminating my dependency on these. Elyse quickly diagnosed the root causes, and within a month, I had eliminated all pharmaceuticals, found new energy levels, no longer struggled with fatigue, and overall felt the best I have in a really long time. Elyse is a miracle worker, and does so with much kindness and compassion!

Jonelle Lotts: Acupuncture with Debbie produces quick results. I have been to a couple of different acupuncturist in different cities. What is different about Debbie is that she listens to me as a patient and using her skills I have quicker and more effective results. Debbie is a very positive and caring person and treatment in her office will leave you feeling better and lighter. I highly recommend her to anyone dealing with pain or in need of relaxation.

Mia N: Initially I was nervous about trying acupuncture for the second time. Unfortunately, my first rodeo with acupuncture was unpleasant. However, as the saying goes, somethings are better a second time around. This was definitely the case when I had my first acupuncture session with Debbie - much better than the business I patronized prior.Great job Debbie! Thank you very much for your great business practices. Peace and Love.

Michael Moon: I am a disabled Army Veteran and have been getting acupuncture care, with Debbie Goodwin at Cary Acupuncture. I suffer from chronic back pain, neuropathy, knee injury, and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. My results have been nothing less than, "Life changing"I was on on many medications and opioids prescribed by the VA system. I slept most of my day away. I felt irritable, tired, in pain and of course very depressed. It took a few sessions and I started seeing results. The treatment for PTSD was so helpful. Slowly with my primary care Dr's help, we started to decrease the Pain medication. I started becoming more active with my family and enjoying time with our grandson. I felt like going for short walks and talking to the neighbors. It was amazing. I am on less than half the pain medicine I was on before My acupuncture care started. I feel like I have a better outlook on life. My wife who is also my caregiver has noticed the most change. She stated she feels like she has her husband back.Debbie Godwin is a very kind, caring, professional and very good at what she does. She's a great communicator and always greets you with a smile. Her clinic is calming and very beautiful decorated. I felt like I was in good hands the minute I walked through the door.I can with all confidence recommend Cary Acupuncture. You don't need to sit around hoping to feel better. Help is out there.

amanda bostic: I went to Debbie for 4 treatments before relocating out of the area and I had a fantastic experience every single time. I went for treatment of allergies, asthma, digestion and insomnia issues and she recommended oils, roots, and was able to significantly improve my reaction to allergens. I went to an asthma and allergy specialist for years and received allergy shots. I was taking a daily steroid to control my asthma but after my second visit, I no longer needed to take a daily pill NOR the steroid to control my allergies and asthma. I am bummed that I moved away and hope to find another doctor as friendly, gentle, and knowledgeable as her. I absolutely recommend her for anyone in the area looking to specific acupuncture treatment.

Desiree Green: I have been coming to see Debbie for 1 year now, I feel amazing. I have a lot of back and hand soreness and acupuncture has helped me tremendously. Debbie is very thorough and a wonderful person to work with. I have been to other acupuncturist and none of them were Debbie:)) The facility is so clean and professional. I highly recommend Cary Acupuncture and Debbie for anyone needing acupuncture what a great experience!

Myriam Asbury: I've been experiencing severe neck/shoulder pain for over a year. I have tried regular massage, injections from my doctor, physical therapy, a therapeutic brace and lots of advil. I couldn't get lasting relief. I've never had acupuncture but was desperate to try anything. A friend suggested Cary Acupuncture. They were able to get me in quickly and after only 1 visit, I experienced relief. After the 2nd visit, I couldn't believe the reduction in the chronic pain!! It's absolutely amazing how much better I feel. I'm finally able to enjoy life without the 24/7 pain in my neck. I would highly recommend Cary Acupuncture and I am SO grateful that I went and will continue to be a grateful patient!

Julie Ord: I’ve been a patient at the Cary Acupuncture Clinic for two years and have experienced superb care and results. I’ve had a chronic condition for over 16 years with many complex symptoms. Debbie Goodwin has been flexible in my treatment plan and she has been able to identify and continually treat a whole host of my medical issues. Debbie has made a real difference in my quality of life. As a practitioner, Debbie is dedicated, a wonderful listener, totally focused on her patient’s healing and is an amazing acupuncturist. Debbie has proven to be extremely knowledgeable, and with her adaptive style, she has been able to treat my evolving symptoms. I’ve also thoroughly enjoyed a Chinese Face Reading session with Debbie where I learned fascinating, invaluable and extremely profound insights about my personality.The Cary Acupuncture Clinic is a very warm, welcoming and relaxing environment, and I really look forward to my appointments there. Without hesitation, I’d strongly recommend Debbie Goodwin and the Cary Acupuncture Clinic to any patients seeking a holistic treatment from an experienced, talented, and caring practitioner.

Susan Jackson: Debbie is a true professional and a joy to work with. She is wise, compassionate, understanding and creative in her treatments. Her office and treatment rooms feel incredibly inviting to be in. I trust Debbie fully as a part of my wellness and self care plan and feel that she is top notch in her profession.

Marianne Hedrick Weant: I came to see Debbie several times after an unexpected loss in my family when I was only a week postpartum. I was familiar with acupuncture and some other complementary therapies, but as a public health worker, I'm naturally a little skeptical. I had never heard of using acupuncture as a tool to move through the grieving process and had never actually had acupuncture done. Additionally, the shock of the loss had caused my postpartum bleeding to stop.It was better than I imagined. The appointments were very relaxing--most are placed on your arms and lower legs, so I never had to undress or anything. I couldn't really feel the needles, but I could feel a sort of movement. Call it energy or chi or something else, it was definitely there. Debbie has such a nice bedside manner and a strong knowledge of overall health and well-being. The office itself is lovely and well-designed and in a convenient location with good parking.As with any complementary therapy, I'd say it's worth trying if the potential benefits outweigh the risks--and they definitely do. After just a few appointments, I felt more capable of handling the grief and the postpartum effects had resolved. I'm looking forward to the opportunity to come back to see Debbie under more pleasant circumstances in the future!

Mario Kroll: Went to see Debbie as my very first acupuncture treatment. Had thought about it for years, and finally took the plunge (no pun intended). Debbie is absolutely wonderful, thorough, gentle, and within a couple of treatment, she helped me get my high blood pressure under control without remaining on medication, something I didn't think was possible. Her office is very clean, welcoming, and relaxing and I look forward to my regular acupuncture treatments now. I should also add that unlike many other service providers who encourage you to come as often as possible (probably revenue driven) she actually worked with me and suggested spacing out treatments as I improved, saving me both time and money.

Jennie Schilawski: You may be skeptical, believe me I understand – I was too!! All I can tell you is that I am a skeptic no longer! I watched while my Mother suffered from chronic back pain and migraine headaches for as many years as I had memories of. She tried it all – chiropractic treatment, cortisone shots, TENS units, narcotics and even very invasive back surgery – all with no lasting relief. Debbie Goodwin, with Cary Acupuncture Clinic, changed all that! She provided my Mom with pain relief that I had never witnessed in her before! About three (3) years ago, I suffered a back pain situation of my own. There was no relief to the terrible pain! If you have ever suffered this, you know what I mean! The pain is there - sitting, standing or lying down – it doesn’t matter! Having witnessed the benefit to my Mom, I placed a call to Cary Acupuncture Clinic make an appointment for myself. I was able to get an appointment that very day. I am not going to tell you that it was immediate cure with no more pain, but there was some immediate relief! Debbie asked me to allow her three (3) appointments, and I agreed. I will, without hesitation, tell you that after my second appointment on the following day I witnessed significant improvement in my previously debilitating back pain! After the third appointment, I was all in! Now, when I start to feel the first twinges of back pain I am on the phone! I can also tell you that Debbie’s treatments have helped me, throughout the years, with headaches, migraines, sleeplessness and occasional anxiety. But, don’t take my word for it, give it a chance for yourself! What have you got to lose?? And just think – you are likely to gain relief from your specific situation that you may never have thought possible! Along the way, Debbie’s treatments have done that for me, several members of my family and many friends! I never hesitate to recommend Debbie and Cary Acupuncture Clinic to anyone who’s health & wellbeing I am concerned about! Jennifer – Cary, NC

Cheryl McGhee: I find Debbie to be a highly experienced practitioner who is constantly striving to hone her skill sets, and learn new things that will help her patients. She has exposed me to so much more than just her talents in acupuncture, but also in herbology & Chinese Face Reading (this was fascinating!). Her services & knowledge go way beyond the basics of acupuncture, I'm certain you'll be pleased, I know that I am.

Elaine Gomsi: I went for migraine headaches and to be fair I only went once. I will not be going back again because Debbie suggested that instead of swimming I should take a stroll in the woods because two of the three swimming strokes tighten my shoulders. She then suggested sidestroke. I told her it wasn't as good for cardiovascular exercise and then she said I should be prepared to see her once a week. Acupuncture should enhance your life, not limit it.

Bonnie B: I went to the clinic for sinus problems. I get intense headaches during the summer and no amount of drugs will relieve the pain. I went to the clinic with no expectations but was determined to keep an open mind. Debbie sat with me on my initial visit and we discussed how to approach the problem. I went to the clinic for eight weeks. By the end I had pain relief for the first time. If you have pain that seems untreatable I highly recommend you go to the clinic. You won't be disappointed!

Leslie Fernandes: I have suffered from extreme migraines for almost 20 years. I started having migraines that would last for weeks and at its worse I had a migraine that would not end for two months. My neurologist at the time said there was nothing else he could do since I have tried absolutely all the prescription drugs and treatments that western medicine offered. So I thought I just needed a different neurologist and went to several more but they all told me the same. One doctor even told me I needed to be admitted to the Michigan Headache Clinic. Since moving to Michigan was not an option I continued on my search, and found a doctor at UNC that suggested acupuncture. I had never been to an acupuncturist and did not really understand it but I was willing to try anything with my quality of life being so poor.So I searched for an acupuncturist and found Debbie at Cary Acupuncture Clinic. Debbie is so calm and patience with me, best of all she was able to relieve my excruciating migraine and nausea within 10 minutes. I continued to see her on a regular basis and she has been able to help me by reducing the frequency of migraines to one a month and sometimes less! If you suffer from migraines this is definitely worth a try! Not only did I save on those expensive prescriptions, but I also don’t have all the bad side effects that come along with prescription medicine. The Cary Acupuncture Clinic is warm and inviting. To me this is a big plus in helping me relax during my treatment session. Not only that, but Debbie takes her time each visit to make sure she handles all my needs. I can’t thank Debbie enough!
