The Acupuncture Practice of Lisa Desrosiers, M.Ac, L.Ac. (Davis Square Acupuncture) 7 Central Street, Arlington, MA 02476

"This is a review for animal Reiki. We got our dog from a rescue in Texas, and a few months later discovered he had heartworms. The treatment for heartworms is tough on dogs (and humans!): it involves painful injections and months-long periods of isolation and low activity for the dog. Lisa treated our dog with Reiki throughout his treatment. Several of these sessions were in-person, and it was wonderful to see him relax and grow quiet under Lisa’s touch. He seemed to derive comfort and strength from the sessions. I believe he grew to trust us more during the process and that his Reiki treatments were a big part of that. Some of the sessions were remote, which honestly I was more skeptical of, but I was able to observe my fur baby enter deep relaxation while they were going on, so I’m sure those helped too! Lisa even treated him when he was at the vet’s office after his injections (we were not able to be present due to covid), and it was a great comfort to know that somebody was reaching out and reassuring him when he felt so sick. Overall, the Reiki definitely helped us all get through a difficult period of uncertainty; Reiki provided a way to communicate to the dog that we loved him and were there to help him when he felt bad and didn’t know why. I’d highly recommend Lisa's treatment for animals who are suffering in some way and/or who need reassurance and relaxation!"

"Lisa is hands down my favorite acupuncturist. She guided me through some very stressful times and her work was integral for me. I highly recommend her!"

"I’ve been seeing Lisa for a few months now and I could not recommend her enough. As someone who is not a fan of needles, I quickly became comfortable as Lisa is very understanding and works at your pace. I took an interest in acupuncture to resolve my plantar fasciitis. Not only has Lisa have been treating that, she also has helped me with issues from previous sport injuries and life stresses. She takes the time before every session to discuss how I’ve been feeling and what I would like to focus on. Lisa is very knowledgeable and I can honestly say that I’ve left each session feeling better than I went in. Thank you Lisa!"

"I went to Lisa for acupuncture in effort to conceive after not getting my period for over 10 months. Within 1 month I was pregnant! Lisa worked wonders! She also addressed my first trimester queasiness, irregularity, fatigue, and back aches. She creates a space of relaxation and peace during treatments, it was such a treat to visit with her every week. She is very professional, well educated and personable. I really appreciated her holistic approach to my health and wellness."

"My first experience with acupuncture and it has helped immensely with stress management, tension, sleep quality, and physical awareness. Lisa was recommended to me by a colleague and I too highly recommend her. The office is a very calming private space, and I feel completely at ease during every appointment."
