Grateful nervous system As a massage therapist, I sincerely appreciate Desiree’s approach to healing. Her acupuncture treatment is effective at calming and balancing my nervous system and relieving pain. I love the way she integrates guashua, cupping and tuning forks into her practice. I feel the work on both the physical and more subtle energy realms. Normally I am quite jumpy with acupuncture but her intentional and caring way has proven to me that doesn’t have to be a part of the acupuncture experience.

I was hesitant to try acupuncture, but Desiree made me feel very welcome and comfortable. She is an active listener, and clearly she truly cares about her practice and her clients. The treatment rooms are very comforting and she has many ways to alter the temperature, etc, to make sure you have a relaxing experience.

I’ve been going to Desiree for Gua Sha, and she also does acupuncture. She is incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and kind. She takes the time to listen, explains things clearly, and creates a calm, supportive environment. Her office is clean, comfortable, and relaxing, which makes the whole experience feel very peaceful. I always feel cared for during my appointments, and I appreciate the level of attention and skill she brings to her work. I highly recommend Desiree to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, thoughtful, and skilled practitioner.

Desiree Merulli could tell me that my parakeet died, a la 'Dumb and Dumber' and I would have responded calmly and coolly. She could tell me that fire ants had invaded my home and that a new strain of killer bees built a tank-sized nest outside my deck and I'd be totally chill. Some people just have that demeanor about them, and if somebody is going to be sticking very small sharp objects in you, I think it should be a requirement to have this kind of bedside manner. Her office is on the 16th floor downtown, and is almost comfortable walking distance from my work. I went to see her for a couple of things and know that I'll have to go back a couple of times to see quantifiable results. She was extremely thorough in her questionnaire, and we talked at length as well. And, she accepts Cigna and Aetna. It's a small office, not meant to hold multiple patients. Not that people go to get group acupuncture or anything (well, unless you go to the center in Columbia City). I laid down on a comfortable bed and was 'tenderized' on top for a while with needles, then later flipped over to get the other side--including my ears. If you've never had acupuncture, it's kind of strange how relaxing it is. I was in there for an hour and it felt like 2 minutes and 12 hours simultaneously. I had a choice of essential oil (peppermint) for the after-treatment, which woke me up enough so I could get to my car. Satisfy your needle needs here!
