I’ve been working with Prisca for a number of years on back, nervous system, and fertility concerns. Working with Prisca has always been about my health from a holistic perspective, but the abdominal treatments / cosmetic acupuncture brought this to a new level. Suddenly, not only was my stomach looking flatter, but the amount of core engagement I was experiencing in my workouts skyrocketed. I could feel my workouts becoming more effective. I truly feel that the cosmetic acupuncture had a synergistic effect with my postpartum workout and diet efforts, and really skyrocketed my progress (whereas it was barely perceivable before). At the same time, my appetite became more manageable, and my stress from managing my appetite went down - I became able to choose healthier food options with ease and in peace (whereas previously it was definitely a constant tug of war with myself). As part of the at-home maintenance, I learned guasha from Prisca, and it’s now become a vital part of my daily self-care and wind-down routine, which in turn has helped with my sleep hygiene and quality. The effects are truly multitudinous! If you’re feeling like you’re trying your hardest but stagnating - try the cosmetic acupuncture! I look forward to lots of continued progress - in terms of both looks and health <3

When I first came to Prisca, my husband and I were trying to get pregnant for about 6 months. According to our doctor, my husband’s numbers were good, but mine were “not ideal.” I didn’t know exactly what this meant, but I was anxious and depressed. I was only 37, but felt like I was already 50. He recommended IVF for us, but we wanted to try naturally. I wanted to do everything I could to increase my chances before we had to resort to IVF, so I found Prisca. Prisca took a close look at my lab report and medications, and after our intake, she explained in layman’s terms that my numbers were actually in a “functional” range, and that we just needed a few months of treatments. I was impressed with her knowledge of different herbs and foods, and how she knew which herbs to avoid with my current medications. For about 5 months, I had regular treatments, took herbal supplements, and made some diet and lifestyle changes. I felt a lot healthier and my cycles improved (no cramps and migraines!), but I still wasn’t pregnant. We decided to try IVF after my next period. This last period was a few days late so I panicked, because I had been very regular. I called Prisca asking what I should do, and she recommended a pregnancy test: it was POSITIVE! I still chuckle when I think about this. My doctor was stunned and said it was a miracle, and I truly believe we couldn’t have done it without Prisca’s help. Fast forward to today, this testimonial took me forever to write because my 8 month old baby girl needs a lot of attention. Thank you, Prisca!

Prisca is really great for Bell's palsy! I had already had facial paralysis for two months with few signs of revival on the affected side when I visited her for the first time. Prisca was surprisingly more knowledgeable about my condition than my own family doctor as well as the neurologist I visited. I felt instant improvements on my face during each treatment, and the recovery between my weekly or sometimes biweekly visits also picked up pace. I began to regain my smile shortly afterwards. I'd highly recommend her for anyone with Bell's palsy.

I was very impressed with Prisca, she really takes the time to listen and try and get an overall picture of your health... Prisca was very professional but also very warm and the space she practices in is very welcoming, nicely decorated, and spotless. I had visited another practitioner before but they were always seeing a bunch of patients at the same time, and I never felt they were really listening. Needless to to say that is not the experience at Tranquility Base. I always felt like I had Prisca's undivided attention. She will be my go-to person for when I next feel I need acupuncture. I highly recommend her.
