Testimonials

  • I sought out Dr. Abitbol’s care for extreme facial discomfort that had no medical explanation. Her intuitive fingers uncovered childhood trauma that I had hidden deep in my tissues. Through her skilled touch and treatments I was guided to better health and deep insights. She is a true healer and I couldn’t recommend her more highly!

  • Dr. Abitbol is a very committed and caring healer. She has helped me out with numerous health issues over the years ( arthritis, digestive…). I always know I will feel much better after seeing her. I have recommended numerous people to her and they are all very happy with her.

    E.W.

  • After suffering from Lyme Disease for ten years, I was at my wit’s end. Dr. Abitbol provided me comfort and took the time to get me back to working full time (something I thought I would never be able to do again). My joint pain has subsided, and my brain fog too. I feel good and its a miracle!
