    J.

  • "Barbara is the best! She's at the top of her field; incredibly experienced and knowledgable- a master healer. Besides acupuncture, she provides programs to detox, control weight, boost immunity, etc. Seeing her for a session is both relaxing and healing and I'd go nowhere else for acupuncture."

    Harriet M.

  • "Dr. Barbara Custer is an absolute Goddess-send! I've been seeing her now about 4 years for digestive issues, adrenal fatigue and the overall effects 'life' has on the body. Her treatments are so nourishing and she immediately tunes in to what is happening physically, emotionally and energetically with you. Her approach is pragmatic, never recommending more than what you really need and always making suggestions on what you can do to empower your own healing. And her scope of knowledge is encyclopedic ranging from allergies to hormones to nutrition to pain management, etc, etc! I simply can't recommend her enough. She is definitely part of my Dream Team! "
