Testimonials

I was a “newbie” when I started going to acupuncture at Bodhi, and have to say that I enjoyed the experience greatly. I enjoyed the experience so much that I have been going to John regularly ever since. What made me a consistent patient at Bodhi Acupuncture and Wellness is John’s timeliness, professionalism, and easygoing personality. I highly recommend John and his services.

I started seeing John for lower back pain and insomnia about a year and a half ago. The treatments worked great. Then my husband and I decided to try for baby 2. After my second treatment for fertility I got pregnant. I saw John throughout my pregnancy for relaxation and pelvic pain. I delivered a healthy baby girl 2 weeks ago. John is super nice, affordable, and flexible. I can’t wait to try his treatments for anti aging!

Why Hydration Is Essential for Life

In our busy lives, it’s easy to underestimate the silent, vital role water plays. We often think of hydration as something necessary only when we’re exercising or sweating profusely. But hydration is critical to everyday health, affecting nearly every system in our bodies.
