I had a sports injury on my shoulder, after seeing an ortho, getting cortisone shots, and several intents to rehab my shoulders there was no resolution to my extreme pain; I was told next action is shoulder surgery. I did not want to go this route and knew I had to find a different avenue. I love outdoor sports and the shoulder injury was hindering my lifestyle. I was referred to Rachelle, after my first few sessions my shoulder was 90% without pain. Since then, I see Rachelle on a monthly basis, I noticed that not only my joints were benefiting from the acupuncture sessions, but my whole self. Rachelle has helped me maintain both a physical and mental balance. Rachelle’s treatments are holistic in mind, she treats the entire person and I am grateful to her passion, love, and care of all her patients. She is an amazing and caring individual that has the patients best interest in mind, along with her being and expert and the best in her field. THANK YOU Rachelle.

"Rachelle's ability to listen and apply her unique knowledge assists me to stay healthy. Twenty years ago I started regular acupuncture appointments with Rachelle. She continues to assist me to reduce menopause symptoms and offset the impact of stress on my body. She cares deeply for my well-being, leaving me feeling nourished at the end of each appointment."

I have been a recurring patient of Rachelle Marmor since 2003. Originally referred to Rachelle for a nagging running injury, I am grateful that Rachelle has become a trusted caregiver throughout these many years. Whether treating for occasional injuries, seasonal hayfever or the common ups, downs, and sideways of life, Rachelle is always a thoroughly engaged and empathetic professional. I have learned much from Rachelle’s wisened perspective on the value of health maintenance, as well her appreciation for complementary balancing of Western and Eastern treatment modalities. In sum, and in recognition of Rachelle’s ongoing dedicated and good-humored approach to my health care, it is with great appreciation that I describe Rachelle as the “chicken soup of my wellness

Rachelle combines her medical knowledge of the human body, acupuncture, and Chinese herbs to treat and balance the whole body, both physical and emotional. As a regular patient, I have asked her to address specific physiological issues including frozen shoulder, hot flashes, hormonal imbalances, allergies, and anxiety. Not only has she successfully treated them with both acupuncture and Chinese herbs, she has educated me about the connection between the emotional and physical bodies, which has positively influenced my own healing journey. There's a reason that acupuncture has been around for thousands of years - it works to support the systems of the body so that outside influences and injuries can be addressed and managed without detrimental side affects. Rachelle's practice has proven this to me many times!

I have suffered from allergy and sinus issues for years and have tried countless remedies, medications, etc., but NOTHING has helped me as much as acupuncture and TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine). It is like night and day! Before seeing Rachelle, I would get multiple sinus infections a year despite everything I tried to avoid them - now I may get one mild one per year and is easily treated via a visit to Rachelle. She is extremely knowledgeable and especially caring towards her patients. I don’t know what I’d do without her!

I started seeing Rachelle in 2003 to help me transition through perimenopause in a healthy way. I soon discovered that acupuncture could help me with much more. With Rachelle’s assistance, I reduced stress related to caring for a parent with Alzheimer’s disease, increased the flexibility of my neck and shoulders, cleared my sinus congestion and effortlessly eliminated my unhealthy drinking habits. Rachelle inspires me with how she lives her life. She practices yoga, eats a healthy diet, consciously responds to what life brings her and gives to others. Her selfless service through Seva Healing makes a difference in the world. Rachelle is the type of person I want on my health team

I was blessed to be given Rachelle’s info from my massage therapist and am so grateful for the connection. I initially went to her for help with a chronic shoulder issue but Rachelle’s treatments have improved many aspects of my health and life: shoulder, allergies, menopausal symptoms, even grief. She has recommended herbs to help several issues and has a wealth of health knowledge as well as wonderful referrals for other specialists. Not only does Rachelle listen and ask questions about your health, she genuinely cares about you as a person and improving your quality of life. I continue to see her for general health maintenance and even referred my brother-in-law to her. I truly appreciate how much she has helped me and wholeheartedly recommend her to others.

I have been a patient of Rachelle’s for almost 10 years. During my first visit, I noticed her calm and reassuring demeanor, which put me at ease immediately. At the time, I was experiencing anxiety and depression, migraine headaches and bursitis in my hip. It wasn’t long before I began to feel significantly better after treatment. Her professionalism and extensive knowledge of acupuncture and Chinese medicine allows her to treat each person thoroughly and completely. I see Rachelle once every four weeks and she has successfully helped me with seasonal allergies, shortness of breath, fatigue, restless leg syndrome, pain and many other ailments or discomforts. I am very grateful for Rachelle’s knowledge and kindness. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for relief.

I was referred to Rachelle at AZ Acupuncture by my long time massage therapist. I have been blessed with good health, follow a whole food diet and maintain a regular exercise program. I have traveled for business for over 25 years and always had great energy and stamina. About 3-4 years ago I ended up with serious bursitis and tendinitis in my elbow. It was so bad my hand was going numb. I finally agreed to an injection and the orthopedic told me, next step would be surgery. Resting and not using my arm was not an option for me. Long story short, Rachelle said she could help. And not only did I no longer have elbow issues, but I found that a full body “tune up” had me feeling amazing. As I tell Rachelle, I do not feel bad, although I am used to having tons of energy. Rachelle determined that I had some lack of blood flow which caused some evening calf cramps. She recommended a Chinese herb which gives me the slight boost I need to maintain my high energy level every day. Over the years I also caught a cold and made the mistake of going to my PCP office. OTC treatments made me worse. I mentioned to Rachelle, she gave me a few herbs and I was better within 24 hours. Traditional Chinese Medicine treats the source, not the symptoms. I am a true believer in TCM and very much appreciate the time and attention Rachelle gives me at each session to explain the human highway (if you will,) and how strategically placed needles are used to optimize and obtain good health. I wouldn’t miss my monthly treatments and would recommend Rachelle from AZ Acupuncture without hesitation.

I am so thankful to find Rachelle when I did! Rachelle came to me through a recommendation as she has treated others with chronic migraines, and they claimed to have results! I was skeptical because of my 20 years with migraines and medications with terrible side effects and the lingering symptoms of a migraine for several weeks never really improved. Rachelle took the time to really get to know everything about my symptoms, the way my body reacts, and how I live my life. She asked about how I wanted to live my life and takes all of that to treat the entire person, individually. I felt relief on the first session, but continually improved over the next few sessions. It was like a reset to my body. And, she did all of this without judgement about the knowingly poor choices I made that could trigger a migraine, instead talking about the entire system and getting the system to a point where you can indulge without fear. A few months after being treated for migraines, I experienced a tragic death in my family. I called Rachelle and she quickly made time for an appointment and knew how to treat the ‘trauma’ that I was experiencing. She listens, empathizes, and provides tidbits of guidance while calmly inserting needles. I found greater benefit from those sessions with Rachelle than with a therapist.

I am 59 years old and have been exercising and have been active my whole life. Recently I started experiencing terrible pain in both my shoulders and decided to go to my family doctor to find out what was causing my discomfort. After his examination he suggested I get an MRI on my right shoulder. The MRI confirmed I had a torn labrum tendon in my right shoulder and from the similar pain I was feeling...most likely in my left shoulder as well. I went to an orthopedic surgeon who recommended surgery to repair the tear....so I went ahead and scheduled the surgery but in the interim I was experiencing excruciating pain which was also preventing me from getting a good night's sleep and therefore was taking pain medication to try and get through my day. A friend suggested I give acupuncture a try and specifically with Rachelle. I admit to being skeptical but scheduled an appointment anyway as I was looking to any alternative to surgery. After my first vist with Rachelle I began feeling relief. After my fourth visit I am happy to say I am completely pain free, have canceled my surgery and have stopped taken all the pain meds...even ibuprofen. I started back working out and feel better than I have in long long time. I am a true believer in the healing effects and results of acupunture and along with Rachelle's knowledge and caring treatment she has helped me get back to a happy healthy life again.

My experience with Rachelle has been amazing and so much more than I expected and even hoped for! I have had migraines for 15 + years and have been suffering from extreme ovarian pain for the past 4 years. I have been on all kinds of medications and hormones and I just thought it was going to be a way of life. But, since I have been seeing Rachelle I have been ovarian pain FREE and my migraines have gone from 10-12 a month to 1-3 a month (and soon down to 0). I can't even express how wonderful I feel, how impressed I am, and how much I look forward to my time with Rachelle. Who knew having needles stuck in you would be so relaxing and life changing!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!

I was suffering from infertility issues for two years. After my second miscarriage, I decided to take a break for a couple months before taking the next step - seeing a fertility doctor. In that break, I gave accupuncture a try. It was in a way, my last-ditch effort before taking the leap to spending a ton of money and going through a bunch of medical procedures. Rachelle was amazing. She made me so comfortable, and gave me a new sense of hope. After about ten weeks of treatment, I was absolutely amazed to find out that I had actually become pregnant NATURALLY. I am now such a believer in the power of accupuncture!

I started seeing Rachelle for acupuncture to help my fibromyalgia symptoms and anxiety in my life. The relaxation I experience during a treatment was just wonderful plus it carried over into my every day life. The fibro symptoms got better and I was able to live life more fully. When I developed Crohns disease, Rachelle was able to help me right away. She helped me with an eating plan and ways to help myself without some of the dangerous medicine. Through Chinese medicine she has helped me to view life in less stressful ways and to help make wellness a priority in my life. My life feels more balanced now with less anxiety and pain.

For the past six years, I have been suffering from Trigeminal Neuralgia, which is an extremely painful nerve condition that affects my face. When I was first diagnosed with TN, I tried several options to cope with the pain without success. A good friend recommended Rachelle 6 years ago and since then she has been a godsend. She is extremely knowledgeable and has not only helped me with Accupuncture but has also acted as a guide on ways to deal with TN. Rachelle has always taken time to listen to me and understand my needs and has proven to be available when I need her help. I would highly recommend Rachelle.
