Anxiety
Chad’s main goal with you is transformation. So if you are stuck in life, unhappy, wanting to grow, confused and/or just know that something is “going on with you”, then making an appointment with Chad is absolutely the next thing you should do. Chad is one of those people that will help you with a great deal of attention, kindness, interest and often gives you “the butt kicking” that you need to really examine and express what it is you want in life. Everything that you talk about will be met with the utmost professionalism and confidentiality. Furthermore, what you talk about is done with a practical approach so that it can directly start to affect your outlook, approach and actions in life. If you are skeptical about coaching (and I was), then try one a complimentary session with him. If you live far away (I was in Korea), then he’ll do it over Skype. If it’s money you’re worried about, I can honestly say that it was the best money that I’ve ever spent.

Mild Stress and Situational Depression
Working with Chad has been immeasurably important for my mental and physical health. His distinct ability to listen allows him to ask questions I would not have thought to ask myself and to see patterns of thought and behavior I have not previously recognized. What results is a collaborative dialogue that deepens my understanding of both myself and my possibilities. Combining this intense personal investigation with acupuncture treatment is then a phenomenally powerful healing experience. I feel increasingly imbued with purpose, energy and joy over the course of my work with Chad. I am deeply grateful for his compassionate care and cannot recommend him highly enough.

Postpartum Depression and Weakened Immune System
Chad is a gifted healer. My experience working with Chad was nothing less than transformational. Chad has a very comforting way about him that made me immediately put my trust in him. I could tell he was working from his heart – that he truly loves what he does. Because he is living his life passion, his approach is truly to see each of his patients as a whole, rather than simply treating a symptom. I know this because before he would ever treat me, he would sit down and talk with me to find out what was going on with me, both physically and emotionally. This challenged me to get in touch with what was going on in my body and mind. Chad is gifted with profoundly astute listening skills. In fact, on more than one occasion, he was able to hear something in my words that I didn’t even know was there. In addition, he truly challenged me to be the person he knew I was deep down inside. I can honestly say that I had more than one major breakthrough during our sessions together. The treatments for each session felt like a supporting role in helping along my transformation. I became very connected with my body and the healing process. I also felt that I had a partner in my success. Chad would call me to check in during the week, to see how I was doing. As a result of my work with Chad not only did my body heal, but I am now living a more empowered, meaningful life, reaching for my dreams in a way that I had forgotten somewhere along the way. This is a gift I did not expect, but I accept with much gratitude!

Stress, Anxiety, Digestive Disorders and Sinus Allergies
Chad has a keen sense of the human body. He is extremely knowledgeable about herbs, nutrition, chi, life force, you name it. I just kept thinking to myself “Have I hit the jackpot here? Is this guy REALLY for real?” I leave his office positively GIDDY. My serotonins are at an all time high. Chad is my sounding board. He acts as a friend, a mentor and someone I can trust and be utmost candid with. I saw Chad recently and, once again, I left feeling joyous and optimistic. He is a healer. He is gifted. This man isn’t practicing for monetary gain – he is practicing because he truly enjoys helping others.

Stress, Anxiety, and Digestive Disorders
If you’ve been playing the ‘healing game’ for a while and are interested in true health transformation, I highly recommend Chad’s ‘whole person’ approach to wellness, drawing on equal parts traditional Chinese medicine, verbal coaching, Ashtanga yoga and spiritual practice. I always learn something new about my mind and body during a session, and walk away with new tools I can actually use to better my quality of life.

Stress and Weakened Immune System
Due to a stressful period in my life, my immune system was weak and I went to Chad to find help in his acupuncture and herbal medicine. His treatment was more than I expected. His profound diagnosis astonished me as well as the effects of his interventions: the herbal medicine and Chad`s professional and elaborated acupuncture stabilized my immune system within a few weeks. My body became stronger and I could cope with stress much better. What was even more striking was the impact of the discussions with Chad about life-style and deeper meaning of my behavior. With Chad´s gentle, solution-oriented and wise guidance, I managed to get rid of old habits and to transform my life. On the basis of Chad`s coaching, I live a life that is much more fitting to me than before so that I experience less stress and more happiness. I am deeply thankful that I found with Chad an extraordinary acupuncturist who follows a comprehensive approach that integrates body and soul and can help you change your life. He is not only an effective “healer” but also an inspiring and humorous person and it is always a great gift to meet him. By the way, Chad is also a great yoga-teacher. I strongly recommend Chad´s treatment, I can only speak for people who experience stress, a weak immune system or feel exhausted by work and want to become stronger and healthier but I am convinced Chad can support in much more other cases.

Jaw Surgery and Chronic Sinusitis
Chad is a fantastic, knowledgeable Chinese medical practitioner with an exceptional bedside manner. He’s also a straightforward, honest guy who will not suggest you undergo more treatment than is absolutely necessary (even though it benefits his business!). I had an acupuncture session with him before undergoing major, reconstructive jaw surgery (which you can learn about at http://susanfsu.wordpress.com), and took Chinese herbs during my recovery. Thanks to Chad, I used NO prescription medication (and not even so much as a Tylenol!!) during my entire recovery because the Chinese herbs were that good. He is now helping me with allergy treatment, and his depth of knowledge and ability to diagnose and prescribe appropriate solutions has astounded me.

Rheumatoid Arthritis
I retired five and one half years ago, and was almost immediately diagnosed with severe rheumatoid arthritis. Dealing with almost unbearable pain and having difficulty finding adequate relief, I finally turned to acupuncture. In spite of my initial skepticism, I experienced great relief for the both the pain and for the mobility difficulties with which I was dealing. Chad is a patient, caring, and effective professional. His space provides an excellent, pristinely clean, warm and comfortable environment for healing. Over the past three plus years, thanks in large part to my acupuncture treatments, my pain and mobility difficulties, as well as other health issues over the years, have greatly improved. when I get off the treatment table, I usually move with more energy and feel relief from my acute pain. Chad is also a caring and compassionate counselor, who has helped me deal with the change of career status from an active rabbi of 33 years to a, now, contented retiree.

Low Back Pain
A few weeks ago, I pulled my back and could barely move because the pain was so extreme. I’d suffered a sleepless night and dragged myself into Chad’s office seeking help. Chad looked me over, diagnosed my condition, explained exactly what was wrong and proceeded to get to work. By the time my acupuncture appointment was over an hour later, I was literally able to jump off the table. My pain was gone and I
could move easily without stiffness. The results of my acupuncture session seemed like a miracle. To experience relief in such a brief period of time is quite remarkable. In reality my “come back” was due to the expertise of Chad. I am grateful that I have found Chad and I would recommend him highly as an acupuncturist. His professionalism, knowledge, ability to communicate and skill as a healer is of the highest caliber. When I leave my appointments, not only do I feel much better physically but I am infused by Chad and the wisdom he imparts during our sessions together.

Sciatica
Chad Herst has changed my life. Not only has he helped relieve chronic pain for a sciatic nerve/ruptured disk issue, but Chad also has guided me and educated me on how to take better care of myself.
I had come to my first session with him a bit skeptical and in some pretty uncomfortable pain. My spirits were low because I had done an epidural about a month before, but the pain came back. When I went into the sessions with Chad, I did not know if this pain was ever going to go away. But he took the time to not only understand the physical pain I was going thru, but also to also to understand my overall issues, in general. You feel he really cares and is taking the time to help cure you on a number of levels.
His knowledge and work in acupuncture is second to none. He is extremely gifted at what he does and he really explains what he is trying to accomplish and how the whole process works. Thanks to Chad, my pain has dramatically decreased and my spirits are so much higher. I have stopped taking Ibuprofen on a daily basis. I have also lost weight and become more active physically, due to the pain dramatically diminishing. I would highly recommend Chad to anyone that is interested in pursuing acupuncture.

Chronic Shoulder and Back Pain
I had should and back pain for over a year. Being somewhat cynical, I never really considered Chinese medicine. But when conventional medicine, massage, yoga, chiropractic, and alcohol failed to provide lasting relief, I was desperate. Chad fixed my problem. The pain is gone. Only someone who has experienced pain over an extended period of time understands what a wonderful feeling that is.
