Legacy Wellness

Legacy Wellness has been a refuge for me moving to the Minneapolis area. Monica has not only helped me incorporate acupuncture into my wellness routine, but she has helped to guide me in improving my overall health.
I have been seeing Monica since October. Originally for weekly sessions, and now for monthly maintenance sessions. She has provided a variety of treatments for anxiety, food therapy and pain issues. My overall wellness has much improved since my first session. So much so, that I view going to Legacy Wellness as an essential part of my health and wellbeing.
Monica takes great care to provide a nurturing and calming environment. When I enter the waiting room I can feel my body relax as I prepare for treatment. Often as I am sitting down enjoying a lovely cup of tea. When we meet, she is patient and thorough, reviewing my charts and asking about any current needs I may be concerned about. She is very clear with communicating her treatment process and leaves time to answer any questions that may arise.
I would highly recommend Legacy Wellness for your acupuncture needs. I love her online scheduling system. It is easy to use, very efficient, and find I hear back from her very quickly. Check it out!

I have only tried acupuncture twice before and had my first appointment at Legacy Wellness with Monica today. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience. I filled out a health screening that she actually looked at (when is the last time your Western medicine doctor actually reviewed what you fill out); digested and then discussed with me to help better identify what ailments I was/​am facing and what treatments she would do. From there we went right into the treatment. As she was administering various treatments she explained what she was doing and what I should expect throughout.
She made the experience great. Very kind, an inviting experience and I felt like she is truly listening and working to make me feel better!
She is open to questions and provides thoughtful and informative responses.
Shortly after my appointment I received a ‘Report of Findings’ via email that nicely summarizes aspects of acupuncture, Oriental medicine and specifically discusses some of my ailments and home treatments I can incorporate between appointments. It was general but still had good information I can review and reflect upon.
My only complaint is that acupuncture is an expense. Not a fault of Monica or Legacy, just a fact that for regular treatments it can be costly; especially when not covered by insurance or a coupon (which thanks for the Groupon and the offer on Unilocal!). Her treatment recommendations include quite a few trips so the overall expense, outside of having a discount/​coupon in place, can be quite cost prohibitive with individual treatments running at $ 80 or a 12-​treatment package knocking the per session cost down to $ 60.
Anyway, if you have been thinking about trying acupuncture or are a regular practitioner I recommend Legacy Wellness. Monica is great and I will definitely be back for more treatments.
