“I came in for Chiro during my pregnancy due to aches and pains I was having in my ribs and back. Dr. Sarah was thorough in the intake assessment, explained the treatment plan, and made me feel comfortable during that vulnerable time in my life. I returned postpartum and had another good experience. Thank you!”Read moreShow less

“I really can not recommend anyone more highly than I can Tara. I have been seeing her almost monthly for the past three years and I am not even exagerating when I say acupuncture has changed my life. What started as seeing her for help with lower back pain that massage and PT couldn't help (by my third appointment, it was gone) to supporting me through my journey of living with PCOS. During seasons of high stress, my monthly appointment helped to anchor me and bring me back to a place of calm so I could make it through easier. She has been such a helpful & calming practitoner, I couldn't ask for more.”Read moreShow less

“I have had very positive and effective acupuncture sessions with Tara. She was able to improve my peripheral neuropathy I’m experiencing in my feet and lower legs. Her sessions have also aided in my balance and stability and it is truly remarkable the difference I feel. Tara creates a professional and welcoming environment and I feel healthier and more relaxed every time I see her. I would strongly recommend her service to anyone trying to manage neuropathy.”Read moreShow less

“Tara has been helping me with acupuncture for several years, and together we’ve addressed a variety of concerns, including lower back and hip pain, neck pain, ear-related issues and Ménière’s symptoms, as well as nerve pain in my hand. Her treatments have consistently provided relief and supported my overall well-being, adapting as my needs have changed over time. I would definitely recommend seeing her—every session leaves me feeling much better, more relaxed, and well-rested.”Read moreShow less

“I have been coming to see Tara for a few years now and the improvement I have seen in my nervous system regulation, digestion, mental health, sleep and overall wellbeing has been unlike any other result I have received from any other form of treatment. As someone with chronic stress, anxiety, focus problems, IBS and issues with sleep nothing has been able to give me the permanent and long-lasting relief that acupuncture has. I started acupuncture because I was curious about it and it was one of the only things I haven't tried for my pretty severe chronic digestion and stress issues. I wasn't really sure what acupuncture was for or how it could help me, but after the first consultation with Tara, I learned that acupuncture has a plethora of treatments available for all kinds of problems. Acupuncture is great for pain relief, stress relief, hormonal imbalances, period pain and other reproductive issues such as PCOS, endometriosis etc. I really wish I had known about this sooner and I hope that people reading this review can learn about Acupuncture and have it help them in their lives. There aren't always a lot of healthy and problem solving treatments for things such as IBS and anxiety, but acupuncture is genuinely something that treats the root cause and completely resets your body. I will admit the full results do take time, but there is always short terms relief. Over the span of one year my bloating and IBS has had the most change and healing that I've seen in ten years. I highly recommend Tara in particular at Spring Forward Health as she is very knowledgable, kind, understanding and genuinely cares about all of her patients. Acupuncture might sound scary but it is painless and the results are invaluable.”Read moreShow less

“Tara is a wonderful practitioner both in her acupuncture and bedside manner. I went to her for pretty bad seasonal allergies, and within three sessions they were manageable without medication. She is equal parts fun and professional, so I know that each session I will benefit body and mind. I definitely recommend acupuncture, and Tara is my go-to practitioner!”Read moreShow less

“I went to see Tara for inflammation in my big toe, and the relief was almost immediate. As soon as she worked on it, I felt a release, and by the next session my toe was completely back to normal. She has an incredible ability to pinpoint exactly where the needles need to go to address what you’re dealing with. I also highly recommend her stress‑relief sessions — they work wonders when life gets overwhelming with work, kids, husbands or wives 🤓.”Read moreShow less
