Testimonials - Mary Sabo
"I began seeing Mary in March 2010 with chronic pain in my foot. I had seen a general practitioner, 2 orthopedic specialists, spent 9 weeks in a walking boot, numerous x-rays, and an MRI only to be told I needed surgery (but with no proof why). Instead, I decided to see Mary, on recommendation from a friend. Not only has she greatly reduced the pain in my foot (we are in the final stretch), but she has helped to undo so many other issues I had going on that contributed to my foot, helping my body find balance. Mary is kind, patient, understanding, and extremely passionate about what she does. She is very professional, always explaining anything that she is going to do. She is wildly talented; knowing almost everything that is going on with me physically, emotionally, and spiritually even if I don't tell her. I actually had one session where she put a needle in and told me "that one's for all the sweet cravings you've been having" (I had been shamefully shoveling in chocolate all day). I cannot recommend Mary enough. She is now a permanent part of my journey to well being."

"Being new to acupuncture, I wasn't sure what to expect during my first appointment, but I must say, I was very pleasantly surprised. I went in for fertility concerns and within 3 months I was pregnant. Mary S. is great! She couldn't have been sweeter or more comforting. She explained the entire process clearly and answered all of my questions. I'd recommend Source Healing, and more specifically, Mary, to anyone who was thinking about acupuncture."

"I started going to Mary at the beginning of this year for UTI's. I had gone to the urologist and was given medicine to take, but I just did not believe that was my only option. I decided to try acupuncture. I was immediately drawn to Mary. She has such a calm and kind presence about her. You could tell immediately that she loves her job and was very good at it. With the help of Mary, acupuncture, and herbs I feel so much better. Not only has she helped with my bladder issues, she has also treated me for acne and mood swings. I recommend Mary to everyone. You can't find a better and more professional acupuncturist.
Everyone at Source Healing is very professional and warm. The space is always clean and the best part is I never have a problem getting an appointment."

"I would not hesitate to recommend Source Healing. After several years treating a chronic medical condition with traditional medicine and invasive procedures, I was facing major surgery that I surely did not want and that my doctor did not want to perform. Enter Source Healing. My friend Molly suggested acupuncture and recommended Mary so I called for an appointment. From my first phone conversation with Gizelle to my twice a month visits, I feel like I found a new family - one that cares about my physical and emotional well-being. 6 months into treatment, my quality of life has improved dramatically. A combination of acupuncture, herbs and dietary adjustments have made a real difference. I actually look forward to every treatment and I've learned more about my tongue than I thought possible. Give it a try."
Female Client
"I am scared of needles so was very nervous and tense during my first treatment. Mary Sabo was incredibly patient and reassuring and, going on 2 years later, I am an acupuncture junkie. The treatments leave me feeling relaxed, healthy and both physically and emotionally balanced. I started seeing Mary for fertility issues which she treated with a combination of acupuncture, herbs and dietary changes. I continued seeing her throughout my subsequent pregnancy and even during labor.
She is an amazing person, as well as a skilled and talented healer. I can't recommend her highly enough."

"I started going to Mary Sabo at Source Healing in June 2009 for infertility after a year of trying to conceive. I had been told by a specialist I had low ovarian reserve and therefore would have difficulty conceiving. The specialist recommended in-vitro, but I wasn't ready and wanted to try a more holistic approach first. My cycles were very unpredictable and I was hoping to even things out a bit. Mary recommended we start acupuncture, combined with herbs and a special diet. By month three of this regime, I found out I was pregnant! I continued to see Mary throughout my first trimester until my husband and I relocated to San Diego. Mary is the utmost professional. Always on time. Always calm and encouraging. She always knew what I needed out of a session. She even predicted I would have a boy...which I did on June 6, one day after his due date. Mary helped me realize my dream of becoming a mom! I am so very thankful!
PS - I also saw Brian for one session when Mary was out of town. He is wonderful, as well."
SM, Female Client
"I began acupuncture because I was frustrated with traditional medicine after a major illness. I was amazed by the stark contrast between the Source Healing staff and the unproductive recommendations of doctors. After working with Mary for the last 7 months I have improved my health, increased my energy levels, reduced my stress. I feel great, and I can't say enough fantastic things about the balance between science and holistic medicine that the team practices. They are fun, friendly and highly qualified!"
AA, Female client
"It seems after all these great reviews, mine will only serve to echo the general appreciation of Source Healing. I have been going there for about a year, and while I've never been treated by Christie herself, I have been seeing Mary Sabo for several months and I adore her! She really takes the time to get to know you, remembers your little details, etc. and really makes you feel you are being taken care of. I could not recommend them more highly. Gizelle, the receptionist, is also great and super friendly, like anyone I've ever run into there."
Female Client
"My experience as Source Healing has been amazing. Everyone on staff is warm, friendly and accommodating. I see Mary Sabo and she is wonderful. I have been going for about a year and I tell everyone I know that it has truly been life changing. I have made several referrals to Mary and everyone has been happy and only had good things to say. Give her a try!"
Female Client
"My life has completely changed since starting regular weekly acupuncture at Source Healing. The space is welcoming, and warm. The people that work there are extremely nice, thoughtful, kind and gentle people. I have learned so much about my body. Every week my treatments with Mary Sabo is what I look forward to. I come in every Friday know whatever worries I walk in with I will leave without. She has helped me with managing stress, IBS, anxiety, depression, changing my diet, weight loss, back pain and migraines, I cannot imagine life without her. She keeps me together and calm in the midst of this stressful and crazy world."
Female Client
"I find Source Healing to be the best acupuncture I have received over the last 4 years of getting acupuncture. I love working with my acupuncturist Mary Sabo. Mary is always calm and takes the time to listen to my various issues. Some of my more chronic complaints are in now control and I am improving every day. I am also off a medication that I have relied on for 5 years and am in no need for any longer!
Mary also specializes in Herbs and mixes me up a tailored mix of herbs for me when I go based on my symptoms that week. Source Healing is a very calm and relaxing place to heal and get back in balance. I am a huge fan and cannot say enough!"
Female Client
"I was new to acupuncture when I first went to Mary. She worked her magic and now I can't imagine life without her. She's great at targeting particular issues (neck pain, joint pain, headaches and sleeping problems) or issues as general as stress and overall well being. I went to see Mary this past week and told her how stressful work had been and was overriding all my other ailments. I'm not sure what magic she worked, but I walked out of there feeling absolutely blissful. I'm still telling everyone about how great I feel. I also don't think it's any coincidence that I got pregnant right after I started seeing Mary. Fertility is one of her specialties, so beware if you tell her you're trying? ;) I can't say enough nice things about Mary and the other staff I've met at Source Healing. I would recommend them in a heartbeat."
Female Client
"A friend recommended that I see Mary Sabo at Source Healing and I have come to treasure the healing aspects of both the space and Mary's gentle, positive, and warm influence. I've learned so much about treating myself (physically and emotionally) with respect and care and that there are alternatives to traditional medications that can treat symptoms but not necessarily the root cause. I have never been much of a medicine taker, so it has been wonderful to find that acupuncture can treat everything from chronic conditions to the common cold. Mary is a fantastic listener and, unlike my medical doctor, gives attention to any issue that I bring to her. Most importantly, she almost always has an answer or explanation for any symptom. Acupuncture is relaxing and restorative and I can't believe that I did not try it sooner. I cannot say enough about Mary and the team at Source Healing."
Female Client
"I found Source Healing just by searching around online, and I'm so happy that I did. I have been seeing the acupuncturists there, including Christie Jordan and Mary Sabo, for more than a year now, and I could not be happier with the effect on my physical and mental balance. They both possess a fun, approachable demeanor while at the same time being extremely professional. They clearly have strong beliefs about Chinese medicine but are not dogmatic about it and are willing to work with you whatever your feelings are. They also do a good job working with whatever you might be doing with a traditional Western doc as well. In addition to the acupuncture itself, the herbal remedies and dietary recommendations can be amazingly effective.
The space itself is very calming and soothing, and everyone who works there is super nice, making for a truly pleasant experience. Highly recommended!"

"I really feel my visit to you was extremely helpful! My back has been feeling great for a few weeks now and I even went for my first run this week. The day that I had the treatment I could completely tell that something was different. I could feel a different sensation my hip and tailbone area. I think I was starting to improve and then the acupuncture visit got me over the last bit of it and seemed to make the "correction" in my back. Many thanks."

"First I wanted to say Thank you for my first acupuncture treatment. I had a cough that I was fighting for about 3 weeks and after I saw you I stopped coughing in 2 days. Thanks! . I also did check into those herbs that you recommended. I guess I had no idea how accepted these herbs were in relation to American culture and how many people have experienced great benefit from them. Anyways, Thanks again for helping me get rid of that cough (usually takes me a couple months and bronchitis medicine to get over coughs like that)."

"I love the arouse vigor potion that you sent me home with. I think it puts me in a better mood and gives me a little energy. And, this morning, my fiancé told me how "good" I was this week. We just got along very nicely and things just seem to be a little smoother overall. So, I really enjoyed the acupuncture and I'm going to make an appointment for next week. Thanks so much."

"I was a bit skeptical and worried going into it, but you really put me at ease and the acupuncture did wonders for me"
Male, age 33
"I wanted to let you know how helpful you have been since my first visit. I was really feeling awful about life, and your work has lifted my spirits and helped me to feel a sense of calm and balance even in the midst of all the craziness. I look forward to every visit and sincerely appreciate your kindness and skills in healing.
Thank you for the kale recipe -- I made it last night, and it was awesome! My face has not broken out, and I feel great, despite it being that time of the month. ;) So, the treatments must be working. Thanks again!"

"From one "stress bunny" to another - the minute I walked through the entrance door, I knew there was something very special about this wellness practice. The atmosphere has a calm, welcoming vibe and every staff person is friendly and makes you feel at home. I have received treatments from Christie Jordan (acupuncture and herbal treatments) and also recently Mary Sabo (herbal treatment) for various ailments (hay fever/allergies, stress, joint pain, abdominal pain, etc.) - both are fantastic in being very thorough in their consultations and follow-up. If you're looking to empower yourself in achieving a healthier state of physical being, this is the place to go."
