I just started seeing Merritt about 6 weeks ago after a year of trying to get pregnant with no success. My cycles were irregular after coming off of birth control, and I had yet to have a normal 28 day cycle since stopping the pill. After just 6 weeks of acupuncture I finally had my first 28 day cycle! I also normally have very intense cramping during my period, and this month my cramps were very minimal. I would highly recommend acupuncture with Merritt! She is so sweet and attentive, and always answers any questions I have. You can tell she truly loves what she does. I look forward to my appointment every week and have never felt more relaxed than I do during our sessions!

Merritt is great! She makes you feel so comfortable and is very knowledgable. She makes me feel at ease and so relaxed after each appointment. And she is always happy to answer ALL of my questions. I love the scheduling system. I always receive a confirmation email and a text reminder the day before my appointment. I totally recommend Merritt to all of my friends and family.

Our family LOVES Merritt! She is SO GOOD with children. She is able to connect and make everyone comfortable. We reached out to her because my youngest (1.5 years old) was experiencing hives off and on. With some recommended diet changes and acupuncture-​she hasn’t had any. She also helped with my four year old’s anxiety with acupuncture. I had to bring all four of my children (we homeschool) each visit and she was calm and welcoming, which was a huge relief for me. She answered my millions of questions through tons of emails after each visit too. I can’t recommend her highly enough.

I have been seeing Merritt once a week for approximately 2 months for knee pain caused by tiny tears in my patella tendon. I had been in severe pain for almost 7 months and was willing to try anything before getting an injection that would put me on crutches for 2 months. My initial meeting with Merritt was wonderful. She is patient and very caring. Merritt was very honest in saying acupuncture MAY OR MAY NOT work for my type of injury depending on how much damage was already done.
After about 6 sessions, I noticed my pain level dramatically decreased with days not having any pain at all. While visiting with Merritt, she has also been able to address digestion and allergy issues.
I LOVE my weekly sessions with Merritt and look forward to them. I leave relaxed and refreshed as if I have gotten a massage.
Acupuncture does not hurt, and for those freaked out about the needles… Merritt creates such a peaceful environment you won’t even notice.

I came to Merritt looking for a solution to some digestive problems that I had been having since having bad food poisoning on a trip overseas. Tmi… but I had the worst gas EVER and a lot of bloating and discomfort that hadn’t gone away even after being back from vacation for 2 months. I had tried some probiotics and some digestive enzymes that I bought and avoiding some of the foods that made me worse when a friend recommended Merritt to me. She prescribed a combination of digestive repair supplements and better probiotics (with more strains) and within two days I felt back to normal! I’m almost done with the supplements now and am so so glad that she was able to make me feel like my normal self again!

I had the privilege of being treated by Merritt Jones herself. A wonderful experience of gentle attention and care. I’m pretty sure there is NO ONE else around that has devoted their life to healing others quite like Merritt has. I had recently split my foot open with several stitches and wasn’t exactly healing «pain free». When Merritt Jones treated me with acupuncture, I was an INSTANT believer in the treatment! A warmness came over my entire body and I instantly felt relaxed. I would STRONGLY suggest you try and see for yourself. This type of alternative medicine worked for me and could possible work for you. It’s way better than any sort of Dr. prescribed drugs that are habit forming. Well wishes to your health and happy healing!

Merritt is a wonderful acupuncturist who takes into account healing your whole being. She has such a compassionate presence and is a wonderful healer. She’s been able to help me with numerous ailments ranging in severity. I’m so grateful to have her in my life as my acupuncturist! I would highly recommend her :)

I had never been to acupuncture before visiting Merritt and I was a little nervous and unsure if it could really help me. She really took the time to understand my full history, all of my symptoms (allergies), my diet, lifestyle, and make sure I was comfortable. I now look forward to every session — it is very relaxing, and it has already helped dramatically improve my allergies in 3 sessions. She is helping me get off of OTC allergy pills and replace them with herbal remedies, which is something I have been really wanting to do. Merritt is awesome and passionate about what she does. She is easily reached by text or email and very down to earth. I would recommend her to anyone interested in acupuncture!

As a nurse, I can say with conviction that Merritt is a genuine, kind, caring health care provider.
I started seeing Merritt for acupuncture to treat my worsening anxiety. Anxiety can be difficult to talk about, but Merritt made it safe and comfortable to discuss my symptoms and feelings. Her acupuncture treatments were very helpful, and really improved my quality of life. Throughout our appointments she asked thoughtful questions that really helped me feel supported.
We also worked with her on my difficulty with weight loss. She offered great insight and knowledge in that area as well because of her experience as a nutritionist. I found that working on my diet really complemented the acupuncture treatments. After a 21-​day program, my appetite was way more controlled, and I felt great!
Throughout this time, Merritt was easily accessible for questions and support. She provided easy to follow meal plans, and taught me the principles behind her recommendations. I learned that there is no «quick fix» for weight loss — she helped me set realistic goals that encouraged a positive body image. I learned to view food the right way– as a source of energy and nutrients– and how to plan my meals accordingly. She helped me prioritize being healthy and active instead of focusing on the scale alone, which did wonders for reducing my anxiety.
Merritt empowered me to make healthy, sustainable changes, and to treat myself with kindness and compassion. I highly recommend her as a health care provider!

Great experience here. Merritt is very knowledgeable and was able to offer insight into possible conditions and problems not related to acupuncture but more of a whole body wellness overview. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone seeking holistic treatments!

Full disclosure: I haven’t been to this location, however, I can speak to Merritt’s quality as a practitioner. I came to Merritt in a very vulnerable position; I had just been diagnosed with Lymphoma at the age of 23 and was seeking to balance my body and be good To
It in a time when I needed it to be good to me. She was compassionate, professional and very straightforward– I’ve noticed that the big «c» word draws a lot of different responses, but one that I found particularly annoying was the well-​meaning folks who wanted to lay any fad alternative medicine diet type thing on me they had read about in the last six months, and tell me all about balancing my energy fields and how I didn’t need to get allopathic treatment, etc. Which just wasn’t true– I did need western medicine at that time.
You won’t find that here. Merritt gave me practical, evidence-​based nutritional planning with explanations and recipes I could understand. She helped me understand the negative impact the cancer therapies I was doing might have on my body, and how nutrition might be impacted, as well as the nutritional component of cancer. She followed up with me, offered support throughout the process, offered suggestions for supplements to curb cravings (that actually worked), and Adjusted my nutritional plan based on what I told her was possible for me. I am still using the knowledge I gained from her to this day.
I truly appreciated the the evidence-​based practice and scientific understanding in conjunction with the holistic approach that I found in Merritt. Can’t recommend her enough!

Merritt has been my acupuncturist and nutritionist for years now and has always provided excellent guidance. She has supported me with everything from irregular cycles to basic seasonal cleanses, and has a wealth of information to share. Her suggestions feel simple and manageable, and they really work.
I always feel that she is aware of working with me in a style that will match my energy. Merritt is grounded, attentive, and thoughtful in answering my questions; she is full of wisdom and goodness that keep me coming back for more.

I have received acupuncture treatments from Merritt for issues with pain, as well as fertility issues.
Merritt is friendly and proffessional; she made me feel at ease discussing the issues at hand. She made a variety of recommendations which I found very helpful and approachable.
Since it was my first time receiving acupuncture, I was surprised at how relaxing the treatments were! I felt great afterward.
I highly recommend Merritt Jones!

I am happy with the care Merritt has given my two young daughters. I was a little concerned my girls wouldn’t get the full amount of appointment time because they are so young. I was pleasantly surprised when Merritt took the full appointment to really focus on each of their needs.
She made them feel at ease and included me in on the conversation, even teaching me some massage techniques for home. She talked my daughters through everything she was doing (acupuncture/​massage) and always asked for their permission and/​or understanding.
I appreciate that she respected my daughters and really cared for their well-​being. She never pushed any packages or products on me, which I appreciate greatly! Each visit was relaxing to be at and my girls speak fondly of her. The prices are competitive but affordable. We will definitely go to Merritt for our family’s well-​being support.

Merritt is a gifted healer. She’s smart as a whip as well as intuitive, kind and gentle. Every acupuncture treatment I’ve received from Merritt has left me feeling grounded, calm, and full of vital energy. I suffered from some pretty intense insomnia a few years back and needed just what Merritt provided. A thoughtful ear, a gentle touch, and excellent acupuncture and nutritional guidance. She inspires me with her own commitment to health and wellness too ;)

I suffer from persistent knee pain from an old injury. After just one acupuncture treatment from Merritt I experienced relief. She has extensive knowledge and experience, not to mention an excellent bedside manner.

Thank God for Merritt Jones! For most of my life I have struggled with menstrual irregularity. In fact, prior to receiving acupuncture from Merritt I had not gotten my period in over six months! After consulting with Merritt and discussing my concerns with her, she reassured me that I was not alone in my struggles and that acupuncture could help. Her kindness combined with her extensive knowledge was exactly what I needed. Shortly after undergoing treatment with Merritt, my period was back on track! I could not be happier!

I have been seeing Merritt for about 6 months now. She assisted me with fertility acupuncture and I am confident her services played a huge role in our successful egg transfer!
I have continued to see her throughout my pregnancy so far for issues with sleeping, anxiety, and pain.
She is a very gifted person who is extremely knowledgable and you can tell she truly loves what she does. She is very attentive to your concerns and makes you feel very comfortable.
I highly recommend her!

Merritt is an extremely knowledgable acupuncturist. She is very friendly, easy to talk to & made me feel at ease. I was experiencing neck pain from my scoliosis and found my visit to Merritt Jones to be especially helpful in resolving the pain. I would highly recommend my friends and family to her practice. The location itself is very easy to access, clean and welcoming. I look forward to beginning an ongoing treatment plan with Merritt Jones.

Merritt is truly a gifted healer. Having been to many doctors who barely take the time to look me in the eye before they write out some prescription, it is so refreshing to go to Merritt, who has a wealth of medical knowledge and takes the time to really listen to me and offer great suggestions on how I can improve my health. She is very thorough and always makes me feel comfortable discussing anything.
I’ll be honest, I’m not a huge fan of needles (I was the kid that always blacked out during blood draws), but she makes me feel at ease and her treatments are gentle (the needles are super tiny!). I feel great after every treatment and I’ve seen some major improvements in my overall health. Thank you, Merritt!
