"I came to Rebekah when I was feeling that I would never feel healthy and happy again. I was anxious, stressed, dizzy and was tired of living with psoriasis. Rebekah immediately put me at ease with her calm and warm disposition. We connected right away, probably because being English I understood her Canadianisms! She is a healer and after only a couple of months of care I feel on the way to being alive and healthy again. She is also a counselor by training which has helped me tremendously and I found the combination of acupuncture and talk therapy has helped me so much. I feel so blessed to have found Rebekah and would not hesitate to refer her to my friends and family". -Sally
​
The Point philosophy is deeply rooted in the gentle, holistic and ancient healing art of Traditional Chinese Medicine.  Acupuncture, in particular can be an essential part of health care management for both prevention and treatment of many conditions. With the inclusion of the other “limbs of Chinese medicine” such as herbal medicine, moxa, tui na, cupping, gua sha, feng shui and dietary therapy, Chinese medicine is a wealth of knowledge to help women live long and live well.

 "I went to see Rebekah for the intense burning pain in my back that had plagued me for a year. After going to a few doctors without relief, one doctor suggested acupuncture. Thank heavens I found Rebekah! Besides benefiting from her caring and calming energy, the acupuncture relieved the burning pain after only two treatments! And three weeks later, still very minimal pain and some days - No pain at all. I am so excited and grateful.
-Amazed and Happy, Diane Nissen

 "It's such an incredible gift to know and be working with someone of your depth and skill, but I feel especially lucky to be honored by your generosity of heart and spirit. Thank you for all of your healing help and restoration. Your tremendous care and heart mean so much to me and are helping to restore a very weary traveler. "

And that no matter where you are at now, it is never too late to begin feeling better. With the right guidance and help, health can be possible for anyone.

"I had heard a lot of positive things about the effects of acupuncture, but I was still quite skeptical. After my first session with Rebekah, I felt like a new women. I have had trouble with sleeping and problems with anxiety for years, but after going to Rebekah about twice I started to have regular sleeping patterns and was able to handle stressful situations in a much more effective matter. My friends noticed a positive difference in my demeanor, some of them even started to see her after they saw my results!
I am a believer in acupuncture and Rebekah."
