Southern Village Acupuncture & Herbology 410 Market Street, Chapel Hill, NC 27516

"I have been seeing Susanna for over a year now and this being my first time embarking on the acupuncture journey. I drive over an hour for each session, about 2x a month and one of the reason's is because Susanna is awesome!!! She thoroughly listens and tries to figure out how to help the pain/issues that you are having. She is extremely knowledgeable and is always analyzing to navigate the best approach, based on your needs. I know and trust that I am in the best hands, as I have chronic nerve issues post chemo and I truly think the pain and issues are being managed because of her. She is not only an amazing practitioner, but she is a kind, genuine person, passionate about her work and absolutely consider her a friend. -KJ"

"I have been receiving care from Susanna Lea for just over 2 years. She is one of my favorite people in my life, and a vital part of my support system. She is a great therapist for all the interior and exterior challenges that may burden a client, whether it’s a sore back, a migraine, or emotional challenges related to your workplace relationships. I am a stronger, healthier, more active and thriving person thanks to Susanna’s care. I cannot recommend her with enough glowing praise. Not only is she an exceptional, knowledgeable practitioner of Chinese Medicine (you can ask her about anything she’s doing during therapy and she will explain it in terms that are easy for a layperson to grasp), she’s also kind, loving, and empathetic — qualities that are often lacking in other types of health care experiences. If you’re struggling today please don’t do it alone. Book an appointment at Southern Village Acupuncture. If you’re new to it and nervous about needles, their practitioners can help you with that too!"

"Suzanna Lea is my acupuncturist at Southern Village Acupuncture. I have seen Suzanna for over a year on a consistent basis, at least once a month, most months twice. I have lower back issues with tightness and pain. Also I utilize acupuncture for digestive and endocrine issues. Suzanna always questions my current issues and is spot on with her therapy. She takes as much time as is necessary and makes me feel like I am her only patient. Her care and compassion as a caregiver are above and beyond expectation. I leave the clinic feeling well cared for and the by the next day have my energy and well being restored! I will continue my treatments with Suzanna indefinitely to maintain my overall health and wellness."

"I have been seeing Susanna Lea at Southern Village Acupuncture for several years now. Susanna is a true healer! She has helped me with a myriad of issues including shoulder pain, hip pain, insomnia. Additionally Susanna has worked her magic post surgery with some nerve pain and mobility issues. She is also a great listener! I look forward to my weekly sessions with Susanna. Her knowledge and manner is extremely helpful. Susanna is a gem and I cannot recommend her enough!"

"For past two years I have been suffering from Adrenal Fatigue. After being treated unsuccessfully by two other physicians and taking numerous supplements, I started seeing Dr. Lin in early February. Almost immediately I saw results but continued my twice weekly acupuncture treatments and daily regiment of Chinese herbs. I can happily report a huge difference and feeling stronger, much improved energy level and feel like I am finally getting my active life back. I also have a family member who is being successfully treated "long distance" by Dr. Lin. Traveling to Chapel Hill for treatment was not an option. Dr. Lin sends her herbs and communicates on regular basis and makes adjustments when necessary. Remarkably, she is seeing signs of improvement and healing after only two months. Previously, six doctors were unable to diagnosis the problem and yet Dr. Lin was able to diagnose and treat with success. I highly recommend Southern Village Acupuncture & Herbology and Dr. Lin. She is one of the most dedicated, caring, compassionate and knowledgeable healthcare providers I've ever encountered or been treated by. (And I am in 60's). Graduating from UNC with PhD in Pharmacology and then graduating from Traditional Chinese Medicine, enables her a unique perspective of both Eastern medicine and knowledge of Western medicine. Her ability to listen and then to mix a number of herbs (in my case 10 different kinds ) to formulate exactly what my body needs to heal, is a skill. She is very gifted in this area as well as doing her acupuncture. What a huge difference she has made in our lives in less than 3 months. I feel truly blessed to have found and continue to be treated by her."
