The BEST mind/body healing EVER!!!

by RSBelieve at Citysearch

When a friend recommended that I see Christie Jordan for infertility and the emotional stress that comes with struggling to conceive, I had no idea the extent to which Christie's treatments would deeply affect and change my life. I begn seeing Christie before beginning my fifth and final attempt at IVF (all other attempts had been unsuccessful and doctors had given me less than 30% chance of ever conceiving). Christie taught me to release all of the stress, anxiety, anger, and heartache that I had so deeply bottled up inside. She taught me how to use visualization and meditation as a way to relax and find balance and peace. After each treatment session I began to feel an internal shift in both my mind and body. I began to feel liberated and at peace with myself. It came as a complete shock and surprise to everyone (doctors, family, friends) when I became pregnant with twins...everyone but Christie and even me. I had learned to believe in myself and my body and see this long lived dream come true. I truly believe that Christie was put on this earth to heal. I have often referred to her as an angel sent down from heaven. What sets Christie apart from most other acupuncturists is the mind/body approach she takes with clients. She has this incredible gift to heal people's emotions and help them find that balance and harmony that we all need to be content, happy, and well. She gave me the tools I needed to carry out these healing practices in my daily life at home. Practices I still use today! I am eternally grateful to Christie for teaching me to believe in myself and helping me find that mind/body balance I needed to move forward in life. I am constantly reminded of how much Christie and her treatments changed and affected my life. All I have to do is look at my five month old twin boys and think to myself...life doesn't get any better than this! Give yourself the greatest gift and schedule an appointment with Christie. She is truly the best!

• Pros: friendly, emapthetic staff, relaxing atmosphere, excellent care
• Cons: pricey but worth every penny!

My experience as Source Healing has been amazing. Everyone on staff is warm, friendly and accomodating. I see Mary Sabo and she is wonderful. I have been going for about a year and I tell everyone I know that it has truly been life changing. I have made several referrals to Mary and everyone has been happy and only had good things to say. Give her a try!

A Must Do for everyone

by MHT at Citysearch

I have been going to Christie Jordan for 8 years. I couldn't recommend anyone more. She has helped me through so many different things from the mundane (work stress, business travel, life changes) to big stuff (sciatica, cancer, fertility). She's a gifted healer that is very down-to-earth and real. She's a professional woman (used to be in banking) that just gets it. She was my first experience with acupunture, and I continue to recommend her to everyone.

I'm continually amazed at her talent and her energy. I feel better even just when I make an appointment....

Whatever you need, Christie will be able to help. This is one call you won't regret.

Source healing

by Mbeird at Citysearch

I first starting going to Source healing for fertility issues and became pregnant within a couple of months. I am now working on baby # 2. I've worked with both Christie and Brian keenan and they both have changed my way of thinking and helped me deal with stress in a whole different way. True healers and a wonderful experience. It is truly amazing what source healing has done for me and I highly recommend it.

• Pros: Relieves stress and feel great afterwards

Best Acupuncture Place in Chicago - A must visit

by vee682 at Citysearch

My life has completely changed since starting regular weekly acupuncture at Source Healing. The space is welcoming, and warm. The people that work there are extremely nice, thoughful, kind and gentle people. I have learned so much about my body.

Every week my treatements with Mary Sabo is what I look forward to. I come in every Friday know whatever worries I walk in with I will leave without. She has helped me with managing stress, IBS, anxiety, depression, changing my diet, weight loss, back pain and migraines,

I cannot imagine life without her. She keeps me together and calm in the midst of this stressful and crazy world.

Bliss!

by HFN at Citysearch

I was new to acupuncture when I first went to Mary. She worked her magic and now I can?t imagine life without her. She?s great at targeting particular issues (neck pain, joint pain, headaches and sleeping problems) or issues as general as stress and overall well being.

I went to see Mary this past week and told her how stressful work had been and was overriding all my other ailments. I?m not sure what magic she worked, but I walked out of there feeling absolutely blissful. I?m still telling everyone about how great I feel. I also don?t think it?s any coincidence that I got pregnant right after I started seeing Mary. Fertility is one of her specialties, so beware if you tell her you?re ?trying? ;)

I can?t say enough nice things about Mary and the other staff I?ve met at Source Healing. I would recommend them in a heartbeat.

• Pros: Ambience, peacefulness, warm reception from staff

A Truly Healing Environment

by jrjnu at Citysearch

A friend recommended that I see Mary Sabo at Source Healing and I have come to treasure the healing aspects of both the space and Mary's gentle, positive, and warm influence. I've learned so much about treating myself (physically and emotionally) with respect and care and that there are alternatives to traditional medications that can treat symptoms but not necessarily the root cause. I have never been much of a medicine taker, so it has been wonderful to find that acupuncture can treat everything from chronic conditions to the common cold.

Mary is a fantastic listener and, unlike my medical doctor, gives attention to any issue that I bring to her. Most importantly, she almost always has an answer or explanation for any symptom. Acupuncture is relaxing and restorative and I can't believe that I did not try it sooner. I cannot say enough about Mary and the team at Source Healing.

Finally...needles that aren't scary

by MaxPower11 at Citysearch

I have to preface this post by saying two things:

1) I have bad back problems

2) I am uncomfortable with massages

Kind of a bad situation, wouldn't you say? I'm the kind that would be more apt for a double whiskey and 3 Advil instead of a massage, especially one with needles involved.

So when some people recommended I go to Source Healing after I threw my back out (again), I wasn't sure what to expect.

I figured I'd be in for another quick fix type of treatment, but I was really wrong.

During my consultation, it was recommended that I get acupuncture, which made me kind of nervous. A massage and needles? What did I get myself into....

However, after a treatment by Christie, I must confess, I'm a changed man.

Christie was really helpful in working with my anxiety toward the whole experience, and after about a 30 min treatment there was a drastic improvement; I was able to sit up for the first time in a week without people looking at me asking "Are you alright?" It was great.

If you suffer from any type of general pain (especially lower back) that can't be treated by anything other than pain killers, I highly recommend Source Healing.

The best part is I've been pain free since my appointment. I still like whiskey though; just glad I don't have to drink it for "medicinal" purposes anymore.

undeniable fertility results with acupuncture

by AimeePS at Citysearch

I had 2 miscarriages before I contacted Christie Jordan at Source Healing in September 2007. I wanted to try something alternative before I ventured down the road of costly hormone medications with an endocrinologist. I am so grateful I did. Christie was able to ascertain why I was having difficulty carrying fetuses to term. After just 4 treatments, I became pregnant and am due September 1st.. Acupuncture is ENTIRELY responsible for my pregnancy. I continue to see Christie on a monthly basis and it has helped relieve my stress & nerves (esp. in the beginning of the pregnancy). I retain this buoyancy and energy a day and a half after a session and I just love it. Christie herself is very calming and intuitive. (She even told me my baby's gender weeks into my pregnancy!) She's an expert at what she does and a wonderful person to have in your corner. I recommend her to all my friends (even those not facing fertility challenges).

• Pros: expert treatment, caring practitioner, friendly staff
