"I was diagnosed with ovarian cysts and unexplained amenorrhea several months ago. After trying many conventional methods to restore my menstrual cycles, I finally decided to try Chinese medicine. After my first acupuncture appointment and about five days of taking herbs, I had a period for the first time in months! On top of that, the cramping I used to experience was greatly alleviated. It was the first healthy cycle I had had in almost a year. Additionally, I had more energy than I had had in 18 months. Even though I have to pay out of pocket for this service, I believe that it is still worth it because I am finally getting results. I tried conventional medicine for a year, going through many tests, doctor’s appointments, and even surgery. I was told over and over again to "wait and see". And while it certainly has its place, I had to choose a form of healthcare that actually helped me get better. I am very happy with my choice in alternative medicine and with Kandace as a practitioner." – F. W.

"I initially started seeing Kandace at Essential Being Health for a severe back spasm, but after getting me through that dark time in my life she has also successfully treated me for menopausal symptoms and high cholesterol, as well as other minor maladies.  I have never experienced anyone in the healthcare field who practices with such skill and intuitive insight, yet one who also honors the wisdom of the patient.  Her skill with needles and the use of Chinese herbs is more like that of an acupuncturist who has been practicing her craft for decades.  The expertise she exhibits during sessions and the laughter we share has taken me from the depths of pain and despair to a life of joy and hope.  Kandace is on my list of people for whom I am deeply grateful." – J.

"I had been suffering badly from seasonal allergies last fall and I was sick of taking medicine because of the side effects. So I decided to try Chinese herbs instead. Kandace made a customized Chinese herb tea for me right there in her office. It actually tastes and smells rather good and took care of my symptoms completely within a few days. So far, I've only had to refill the prescription once. It's been a great relief!" – J. F.

"I have had chronic sleep issues that have taken me to the edge of depression many times. I've tried all the "natural" cures, listened to advice from friends, drank teas, popped pills, been hypnotized, twisted myself into yoga poses, abstained from coffee - nothing has helped. However, regular acupuncture with Kandace was a miracle! I slept for eight consecutive hours and felt like a million dollars. The black cloud lifted and I felt light. It isn't too dramatic a statement to say that I feel like Kandace saved my life, as anyone who has struggled with sleep can relate to. I don't know how or why acupuncture works, but I don't really care. I'm just so grateful that it does and that practitioners like Kandace invest the time and money to become fully educated." – S. K.

"I have had problems with arthritis in my knees for some time and decided to try acupuncture. After several acupuncture & massage treatments, I am finally able to walk again without pain. I am very thankful to Kandace for her treatments and will continue to have her work on my shoulders and hip as well." – H. S.

"A few months ago, I had a fairly serious neck injury. It was to the point that I was unable to turn my head for several days. Aside from taking x-rays to make sure nothing was broken and offering me drugs for the pain, my regular physician was not very helpful in treating me. The pain got worse after I gave it a few days to heal on its own. I went to see Kandace and I began improving immediately after some acupuncture. After just my second treatment with acupuncture and massage therapy, I was back to normal with no pain and my full range of motion. Thanks, Kandace!"  – M. M.

"My husband and I have been receiving massage from Kandace since 2002.  I was suffering from pain due to a bone spur in my neck and massage helped to alleviate the pain. At one point, I even had a cortisone injection for the pain, but the symptoms returned; however, through the healing power of Kandace's massage, I am now pain free. I will be forever grateful for the freedom I have to live my life comfortably. Likewise, my husband has suffered from severe lower back pain for many years.  Kandace has worked to align the spinal problems and both his back and neck have improved remarkably.  Not only does her massage feel incredible, but she has a touch like no other therapist--and through the years I have been to many.  I recommend Kandace without reservation to anyone in need of therapeutic treatment. She is a true healer, friend and knowledgeable therapist." – J. J.

"With the combination of acupuncture and Chinese herbs customized especially for my condition, Kandace has helped more with the hormone challenges of PMS and perimenopause than anything else I have done.  She is wonderful and supportive to work with and I highly recommend her."

"I have received acupuncture from Kandace for a problematic IT band.  Never having had acupuncture before, I was absolutely amazed at the results I experienced.  The pain I had been in before was now diminished with only a few visits.  I also had some TMJ issues which were resolved with acupuncture.  My daughter has received massage from Kandace work on her as a massage therapist, greatly reducing the stress and tension in her neck and shoulders. Neither of us would go to anyone else now--her kindness, gentleness and soothing touch helped our experiences at Essential Being Health be calming and successful.  I have recommended her to friends and they have all been very satisfied with their experiences as well.  Don't hesitate to use this highly gifted and successful woman!" – K. R.

"I've worked with Kandace Cahill at Essential Being Health for quite some time and, due to the changes in our economy, have had to pare down my alternative health budget. I forfeited my chiropractic care and some supplements in order to keep Kandace on my health care calendar -- she is that good. I've experienced both her massage work and acupuncture, both with excellent results. Kandace is an enriching person to work with on many levels. Her clear passion for the work she has chosen is very apparent and I don't hesitate in recommending her!" – C. B.
