I began going to Désirée Sterling in 2022 after major surgery following a serious ankle fracture. I initially went to see her because I had severe anxiety after my accident. She was in tune with my issues and treated the "whole" of me, mental and physical. She is so kind and genuine, only wanting the best plan of treatment to help me heal. I have continued to go for health tune ups ever so often. In early December 2024, I hurt my low back so bad that I could not walk or even sit up to get out of bed. During the worst of the extreme pain, Désirée made a few house calls to endeavor to stabilize me. With her help, I was eventually able to begin to function again. I am so very lucky to have found Désirée. I know I have healed so much faster with her expert help. Her empathetic nature and sound acupuncture training and technique has given me back my health and happiness. Désirée is now part of my happy outlook and a huge factor in my ongoing health. She is simply the best.

Désirée is a highly skilled professional massage therapist and I have benefited from her skill and care over the past 3 years. Désirée is an essential part of my mental and physical health care regimen and I see her twice per month. She is also a tremendously kind and caring person and I can offer the highest recommendation of Désirée to anyone seeking the healing benefits of massage therapy.

When I first met Désirée about 2 years ago I was experiencing the worst back pain. Désirée's caring approach and attentiveness to emotions and spirit manifesting in the body were completely life changing. She has been a healer of the body and soul for me-- especially as someone in a helping profession this type of care is crucial. I always feel listened to in each session and my body feels relieved of tension. Her abilities as an acupuncturist are matched by her compassion and kindness. Now that I am mostly free from stress related pain, I will continue to get acupuncture as part of my wellbeing. I trust Désirée deeply and am so appreciative for the quality of life I now have!

Désirée has been a valuable addition to my healthcare routine. Her acupuncture and holistic knowledge of herbal supplements regarding hormone imbalances and inflammation has made a remarkable change to my health. I would highly recommend her.

I am delighted to share my experience regarding Désirée who has been my holistic healthcare practitioner for over 9 years. I first discovered her through a client referral when I was suffering and struggling with severe IBS issues, cramps, back and foot pain. While my primary physician was unable to provide relief, Désiree's professional care and expertise made all the difference. Over the years, she has successfully helped me manage various health challenges, including IBS related stomach cramps and other symptoms that traditional medicine could not address. Her extensive knowledge of holistic medicine, combined with massage, acupuncture, energy healing and last but not least dietary supplements, has transformed my health and wellbeing. I am one of many patients who have benefitted from her exceptional care and kindness and continue to do so at this time. Désiree's dedication to her patients and comprehensive understanding of alternative medicine make her an invaluable healthcare provider.

Désirée is a talented healer with depth of practice. Since starting sessions with her my life and health have improved in many ways. The best part of working with her is that you can go in for any one aspect, like massage, cupping or acupuncture and she can help you find other related beneficial practices and procedures. She was a great find for someone like me who was curious but apprehensive about acupuncture, to now a beneficiary of Désirée’s practiced touch and comprehensive approach to wellbeing. She uses Chinese Medicine as well as Energy Healing, and the spiritual practices that she teaches have been helpful at a very deep level. Truly a gem of a practitioner.
