Its was so refreshing to go into a place and have someone LISTEN to you and care about what you have to say! I look forward to our weekly session (most relaxing moment of the my week!) and have seen dramatic improvements in my migraines but also in my entire body! THANK YOU DEB!!!!

The headaches and digestive system issues I used to experience are gone

I sought out holistic treatments for my anxiety that was leading to panic attacks. I wanted to treat this in a natural way and did not want to go on medication. I met with Sara Scrivano at Sage Wellness.  Sara has a wonderful demeanor and spent time asking many questions. I go for weekly acupuncture sessions and I take my herbs. I can say that now after suffering from anxiety for years, I feel more in control and the headaches and digestive system issues I used to experience are gone! Also, the space is calm and beautiful.

Deb is an incredible acupuncturist and healer

Deb is an incredible acupuncturist and healer. She truly cares about her patients and their health. I came to Deb after my back, shoulders, and neck were incredibly tight from an old injury and life with an active toddler. She was able to gently release my back in a way that my body could handle. It wasn’t too much and I felt amazing after my session.The treatment room was very comfortable, with a table warmer, dim lighting, and no outside sound. I’ll definitely be back, and plan to not wait as long as I did this time!

Digestive Health

No more urgently running to the bathroom

I cannot praise Deb highly enough. She carefully listened to all of my symptoms, and then told me, “Of course you’re going to get better.” And you know what? After two treatments (along with the herbs she prescribed), my digestive system started getting stronger. I had more energy. As time went on, my appetite started coming back. I really have not had digestive issues since. No more urgently running to the bathroom. My appetite is back to normal, my energy is great… I feel like myself again! I couldn’t have gotten to this point without Deb. I always left my treatments feeling better than when I went in. I really feel like the acupuncture has helped me to get my life back.

Pregnancy

Called me back immediately after my inquiry to discuss my situation in detail

Being more than a week overdue with your first child was a very nerve wracking experience for me. I was very anxious and overwhelmed with the uncertainty of when my labor would begin. Deb’s warm demeanor and her knowledge of her craft really set me at ease. In addition the quiet and peaceful atmosphere of her office really helped me to relax. I felt that my first session helped to reduce my anxiety and help my mind settle. I waited a full day and then returned for a second session. No more than 5 hours later, my contractions and labor began and a day later, I gave birth to my baby girl.

Pregnancy

Intricate part of my healing

My initial consultation with Deb was amazing! She spent hours getting to know my medical history, family history and lifestyle. She asked so many questions that no medical professional had ever asked me, in order to get a complete analysis of my medical condition. We have been tracking my progress and all though I am not “cured”, I am closer than I’ve ever been to eliminating my period pain and I have Deb and her team, (including Molly who is always so welcoming and accommodating) to thank for it. Just knowing I finally have real support that I can actually rely on makes my healing journey seem possible and more bearable. I have truly had an incredible experience coming here!

Sage Wellness has truly helped my life and well being

I came to Sage Wellness after suffering debilitating migraines. I would get them up to three times per week and began to lose track of what triggered them. I began to miss work and social events because of my migraines. A friend introduced me to Deb at Sage Wellness. After going to weekly acupuncture session and having herbs, my migraines are down to once a month and completely manageable. The treatments I had at Sage Wellness have truly helped my life and well being. I highly recommend their services!

I would give 6 stars if I could!

Deb/Sara are incredible!! I began my acupuncture journey a few months ago, after it was suggested by my endocrinologist. I went off birth control and hadn’t gotten my period in over a year. Within three months of acupuncture and herbs, I magically got a period!! I don’t know how it works, but it definitely does. Deb/Sara are so kind and thoughtful, which made the process even more rewarding and special. I would give 6 stars if I could! Thank you thank you Deb/Sara!!

Highly recommend Deb for women going through changes in their body

I was introduced to Deborah Valentin by my GYN. I was looking for someone who I could talk to about alternative medicine. Natural ways to deal with the changes in my body. I met Debra and she sat down with me and asked me a series of questions. She was patient and very knowledgeable about natural remedies and foods that I should be eating for my health and wellness. I started taking what she recommended for my condition and it really worked. I would highly recommend Deb for women going through changes in their body.

I fell pregnant naturally without any medical interventions or drugs

My husband and I are eternally grateful for Deb’s consummate care and compassionate disposition! She taught me to track my temperature and become in tune to my body’s natural rhythm. Deb’s listening ear, calm demeanor and encouragement were just as critical to my care as the knowledgeable treatment. (My husband refers to Deb as my sanity). Now through the first trimester, we are overjoyed to welcome our first baby in August. As we anxiously await our little one, not a day goes by that I don’t count my blessings for finding Deb!

I am beyond thrilled to say I am 4 months pregnant!!

I was diagnosed with low AMH from the reproductive endocrinologist and I was devastated to hear that my chances of getting pregnant were very low. I went to Sage Wellness to see what I can possibly do to increase my chances of getting pregnant, although I knew this would not be easy. I met with both Deb and Sara. They put me on a protocol of acupuncture sessions and I had to take Chinese herbs and supplements.  I am beyond thrilled to say I am 4 months pregnant!! I whole heartedly believe in their care and highly recommend friends and family.

Conceived naturally during the 3rd cycle

I came to Sage Wellness because I was trying to get pregnant. I was devastated that I got pregnant and had a miscarriage after trying for some time. I came for treatment to rebuild myself and for support. The practitioners there treated me with acupuncture and after 2 cycles post miscarriage I conceived naturally during the 3rd cycle! Today I have a beautiful baby boy. I am so grateful for Sage Wellness’s care and expertise.

I was elated to find out that I was pregnant under her care

I am a 44-year-old female who has been trying to get pregnant for the past year. I have gone through two IVF cycles before I got pregnant with a frozen embryo transfer left over from an egg by the second IVF cycle. Prior to the transfer, I went to Debbie Valentin to prepare me for the frozen embryo cycle. I was immediately impressed by how caring and knowledgeable she was. She was sympathetic to my concerns and put me at ease right away with her professional bedside manner. I was elated to find out that I was pregnant under her care. Miracles do happen and it happened to me with the help of Debbie. Forever thankful for her service.

From No Periods to Pregnant!

My husband and I are eternally grateful for Deb’s consummate care and compassionate disposition! I am healthy, fit and in my late 20s and naively assumed I’d have an easy time conceiving. I went off birth control in January 2010. After having my menstrual cycle only once during that year, my OBGYN referred me to acupuncture. I was a skeptic! In January 2011, I interviewed several practitioners before finding Deb. I knew instantly I had connected with the right caregiver – she answered her phone immediately and spent over 15 minutes providing an overview of her practice, treatment options, and answering my questions. Her treatment has been just as thorough since.

I saw Deb weekly for 6 months and then biweekly for an additional 3 months. In addition to acupuncture sessions, she prescribed twice daily herbal teas. She taught me to track my temperature and become in tune to my body’s natural rhythm. Deb’s listening ear, calm demeanor and encouragement were just as critical to my care as the knowledgeable treatment. (My husband refers to Deb as my sanity). I started to see physical changes like my body temperature rising and my skin becoming more nourished. My menstrual cycle returned (albeit a 48 day cycle). In November, we had an early stage miscarriage, and though devastated, tried to remain optimistic about our chances of conceiving again. The very next month, my husband and I successfully conceived! Now through the first trimester, we are overjoyed to welcome our first baby in August. As we anxiously await our little one, not a day goes by that I don’t count my blessings for finding Deb!

Can't recommend Sage Wellness enough!

After several months of trying to get pregnant, I was recommended by a dear friend to see Deb. After seeing Deb for 4 months and following her regime of herbs and sessions around ovulation time, it worked – pregnant and over the moon. I will be a loyal client for life. Immensely grateful to Deb and her team for making my biggest dreams come true.

Digestion & Gut Health

I wish I would have found this place years ago!

I have experienced IBS for the past 10 years and have met with numerous doctors with no real solutions to manage my symptoms. I have never experienced acupuncture before but a friend referred me to Sage Wellness. I met with the Sara Scrivano. She is warm, knowledgable and told me what was going on with my gut health. After receiving acupuncture treatments, taking herbs and modifying my diet, my symptoms are gone. I wish I would have found this place years ago!
