"Life Changing !

I suffered from
frequent migraines for 14 years. I went to several top specialists who each prescribed one new ‘miracle drug’
after another.  These miracle drugs only made my migraines worse.  My life changed when I met Tamie.  She gave me the
courage to
stop taking all of the drugs. With the help of Tamie’s acupuncture and herbs, I have never felt better.
Thank you Tamie."

I am 49 years old and have been suffering from severe chronic knee & back pain for many years.  I have had two surgical
procedures on my knee and after seeking a 3rd opinion my newest surgeon was recommending partial knee replacement, which
I considered to be a last resort. A very good friend suggested I try Acupuncture with Tamie, as she is providing great help with
some serious health issues.  I was reluctant because I have a
phobia of needles and did not really understand the Acupuncture
theory or process. I have had 4 treatments with Tamie and the results have been PHENOMINAL.  I was amazed,
there was no
pain during the treatment and after the second treatment I was having significantly less pain in both my knee and back
.
I believe Tamie’s treatments have been so successful primarily because she is a highly skilled practitioner of Acupuncture – but
more importantly she takes the time to understand the whole picture of what may be causing my conditions; health history, diet,
lifestyle, etc. I highly recommend Tamie if you have not been satisfied with traditional options and want to feel better.

After suffering from a
sinus infection that lasted for seven months, I would have shaved my head if you said I would feel better. A
friend suggested I go see Tamie, and while I’m hugely needle-averse, conventional medicine hadn’t worked so off I went. She
was great with me and found ways to make me feel completely comfortable. The acupuncture was fine, but what worked wonders
for me was the cupping! Again, if you asked me a year ago if I wanted plastic cups suctioned to my back and magnets suctioned
beside my spine I would have told you that you were crazy. But one session of
cupping with both the cups and the magnets and I
am a convert for life. Now when I
feel the slightest flu or cold symptom coming on I go see Tamie for a cupping and magnet
session. And it works so well I’ve had colds
relieved two days after a treatment and have staved off countless more. Plus, the
pressure from the cups and magnets feels almost like a massage—a real treat. Monthly sessions are now a part of the way I take
care of my health and well-being.

Working with Tamie has been a wonderful experience. She is professional, empathetic, and kind-hearted. I was unable to tolerate
acupuncture due to
hypersensitivity to needles, so Tamie treated me with the Lumen Light, a small photon/Light therapy device
that consists of different modes to use depending on a person's needs. It has helped
reduce my nerve pain, and my muscles
are more relaxed so that I now can sleep through the night without pain! It also has helped with my
fribromyalgia pain, causing
less painful flair ups and less morning stiffness.
This is the first time I have found something to help me after 10 years of
severe pain
.Thank you so much for your help, Tamie!

When I started with Tamie,
I was pretty much ready for a microscopic discectomy.  I had a large herniated disc (L5).  I was in
so much pain all the time.  All the Advil and pain relievers in the world could not help me.  Even doing regular activity was difficult.  

I would stand to feed my son and could not sit to eat dinner with my family.  I would drive and then when I would get out of the car,
my leg would actually just collapse and I would be on the ground.  I felt so helpless and sad.  I made the decision to take a leave
from work and started to see Tamie.  Slowly but surely I started to get better.  
I cancelled my surgery and was able to go back to
work, while continuing to see her weekly.  I don't take any Advil or pain relievers now.  Truly amazing.  I now see her once a month
for "maintenance", but honestly I just love going and the way it makes me feel!  I have since referred a few of my relatives and
friends to Tamie and they are doing great with her!

On December 24, 2007, I was experiencing pain down the length of my left leg.  I called Tamie and she arranged to see me that
day (Christmas Eve), treat me and give me great relief.  As I approach
my 70th year some think of me as a dinosaur wed to the
old ways.  That, of course, is true but Tamie has made me a believer in acupuncture.  I still continue to treat with my traditional
doctor but see Tamie regularly.  Knowing that she has also
treated and given relief to my daughter, son-in-law and grandson
adds to my having nothing but praise for her work.

Dr. Tamie made my dream come true !!!

My husband and I were
trying to have a baby for many years with IVF, but it was difficult and we were very frustrated.  I decided
on something alternative along with IVF and came to Tamie for acupuncture. Tamie found out that I had poor blood circulation and
I got her acupuncture treatment once a week for five weeks before my next fertility treatment. Because of her treatments, my
physical condition improved and I felt so much better. After my next IVF treatment, I found out I was
pregnant with twins. What I
loved about Tamie's method, was that she really listened to me, and  treated not only my physical but emotional condition as well.
I feel like she saved my life!

Infertility:
I started seeing Tamie in July of 2006. My three invitro had failed. I had a miscarriage twins at 23 weeks. I also had another
miscarriage. After the last miscarriage,
my doctor told me that my eggs were old and one of my fallopian tube was blocked so
that there was no chance of getting pregnant again and suggested me to adopt a baby. So I went to see Tamie when I was 39
years old and I asked her to help me have a baby naturally (without any medications). It took Tamie and I until June of 2007 for me
to get pregnant on my own. I turn 40 years old and delivered this beautiful healthy baby girl in February 2008. I could not have done
it without Tamie's help and my strong faith in God. Tamie is a wonderful person and a great acupuncturist.

I came to Tamie with severe digestive problems and chronic infections.  After years of trying all sorts of alternative treatments,
nothing seemed to get me to a place where I could eat any foods that weren't specially prepared for me (no seasoning, spices,
oils, etc.).  After only 5 months, my diet is much more flexible, I don't get infections like I used to and I feel much stronger.  And,
when I eat something that doesn't agree with me, the affects are much less than they were before (sometimes I used to spend
days in bed!!).  I truly enjoy my sessions with Tamie as she is never satisfied with the status quo and is always trying to improve
my condition.  She is constantly doing research beyond her already broad knowledge of health and well-being to help my specific
condition.  I am sure that for every day I am under Tamie's care, will be a day that brings better health and a bright future!

I was a bit skeptical about trying acupuncture for the first time as I was not sure what to expect. Tamie diminished any doubt I
had within our first meeting. She has a warm and friendly demeanor and a genuine interest in helping people. She is always very
responsive to any questions and accommodating to help out when she can. Tamie goes over and above to ensure her patients
are comfortable and taken care of.

When
my prostate became enlarged last summer, I was skeptical that little tiny needles were going to succeed where my
doctors had failed.
I was facing surgery. After several treatments with Tamie, I returned to my doctors who were amazed that my
prostate had returned to a normal size and surgery was no longer necessary. I am a believer !

Miracle !
In my 37 week of pregnancy, I found out my baby was breach.   I knew it was too late to be turned, but I was determined to not
have a C-section.  I was confused and desperate and wanted my baby to turn by my next doctor visit (in one week). After two
treatments with Tamie, my baby had changed positions!  It was amazing. Then I asked Tamie to do a "induced labor" treatment,
and delivered a very healthy baby with an easy labor.

Tamie has treated me every week for the past year and a half. My treatment is the most relaxing hour of my week. No matter what
my complaint is - itchy eyes, a cold, low energy, high stress, abdominal discomfort, mid back spasm, wrist pain, sore back
muscle, headache, exhaustion ...  Tamie has the solution and I leave her office feeling so much better.

I am a 12 years old
figure skater. I first went to Tamie for a sprained ankle before a major tournament. I wasn't sure if it would
work, but after seeing such dramatic improvement, I returned for back pain, breathing problems and any other times I needed
help. She has helped me so much, and I am extremely grateful. This is the first year I am able to compete in the national level
without any injury.

The summer of 2007, I had my first acupuncture treatment with Tamie. It certainly was one of the best experiences of my life. I had
been suffering from
chronic fatigue disorder, IBS, migraine headache, sleep disorder plus aches and pains almost all over my
body as the result of fibromyalgia
. When I heard of Tamie from my cousin who had attended her clinic, I could not wait to get an
appointment. I must confess it was a wonderful experience. She is so professional in all areas of the medical field and is
constantly keeping up with the new ideas and techniques via seminars, while being very empathic and kind hearted. In addition to
her wonderful acupuncture treatment, she gave me some wonderful herbal medicines just in case I get cold/flu. I have already
taken the herbal medicines a couple time this winter. This is my first winter without a chest cold, thanks to Tamie. When I leave
her office every week, I feel like a new person. I highly recommend her services to anyone, young or cold.

Tamie provides superb services. She has excellent listening skills that enable her to identify the problem and effective treatments.
She cares about each individual patient and constantly demonstrates knowledge and expertise.

Even thought I'm very healthy and could get pregnant easily, I would continually
miscarry and would bleed a lot early on in the
pregnancies. I went to Tamie for acupuncture treatments.  In two months, I was pregnant. Tamie gave me Chinese herbs every
time started to bleed.  It worked and now I'm the mother of a very healthy five month old boy.

"When I started seeing Tamie for acupuncture treatment in February, 2006, I had been suffering from
chronic fatigue disorder
and fibromyalgia
since 2000.  10 minutes standing was also my limit !  I would get so shaky, so exhausted and painful that I
would almost panic – as if, if I didn’t literally LIE DOWN immediately I would die, or at least pass out.  It was horrible.  And that
lasted for about two years before I learned how to expend almost no energy while I was awake.  And I had relapse after relapse
when I would be functionally
bedridden for days.  It really wasn’t until I began working with Tamie that I slowly started feeling like I
was actually getting _better_, reliably better all of the time.

Now, my fibromyalgia pain has become almost non-existent, and all of my chronic fatigue symptoms have improved.  What I like
most about Tamie is that she is always interested in everything I have to tell her about my daily symptoms, and she is always
responsive to whatever is troubling me the most.  But she also has my total condition in mind, and helps me to understand what
is going on with my body and whatever things I can do to help myself.

Tamie has taken the time and the care to get to know me as a whole person, not just as a disease or as a collection of
symptoms.  No matter how good or bad I feel when I come in to see her, I always feel better when I leave, and I am confident that I
always well.  That’s more than I can say for any other doctor and/or caregiver I have ever seen.  I have recommended Tamie to all
of my friends, and I would unhesitatingly recommend her to anyone who would like to both feel better and to understand their
health situation more completely.  I hope she never moves her practice out of the area!!"

I am a 53 years old Japanese male. I have suffered from mild
neuropathy on the left leg and the left arm since I was 40 years
old. I have had many tests done at the neurology departments at major hospitals but they could not find anything wrong. I went to
see chiropractors as well. The symptoms would improve but it was always only temporary. I thought this was something I had to
live with. Three months ago, one of my old friends in Lexington mentioned Tamie. I have never had an acupuncture treatment and
I was skeptical but I decided to give it a try. It is hard to explain but I felt something shift after the first treatment. After the 3rd
treatments, I noticed I no longer had any tingly feeling !  Also my chronic neck pain decreased significantly as well. It has been
more than 6 months since I've had any neuropathy symptoms.  It was the pretty amazing experience.

My husband and I first met Tamie when she was still a student at the New England School of Acupuncture. We received eleven
sessions of treatment; but after only the first few we experienced
significant relief from the pain of arthritis. An additional benefit
was that there were no side effects, unlike the side effects that typically accompany medication.
I am 78 years old and tried
acupuncture to alleviate pain in my knees.
My husband is 82 years old and suffered from pain and discomfort in his back, wrist,
ankle and neck. After the third treatment we no longer had to take pain medication and everyday tasks are no longer a challenge.

We continue to see Tamie at her office in Lexington and enjoy her treatments which are both gentle and calming. She is caring
and considerate as she calls after the session to see how you are progressing. We would strongly recommend Tamie’s
treatments to anyone who is seeking relief from any pain, at any age!

I have been receiving treatments from Tamie for about
nine months-the duration of my pregnancy. I suffer from a sore shoulder
and neck due to a bad car accident from nine years ago
. Her treatments and thoughtful care have improved my condition greatly
and the treatments will continue to
alleviate the pain even more after I give birth, as there are differences in how Tamie treats a
pregnant person. I am a firm believer in acupuncture and Tamie's gentle yet effective methods are tops! I feel healthy and at ease
when I get help from Tamie to let my body's energy and immune system heal itself rather than taking a pain killer or steriod which
I do not see as being truly healthy. Tamie also helped to
heal an on-going rash that I would suffer from periodically when my
immune system was run down. It resembled poison oak and would cover my entire thigh for weeks at a time. No doctor or
dermatologist had any answers for me other than some temporary relief from steroid creams. Tamie cleared up the rash within 2
or 3 treatments and I've not had it since. I am pleased to highly recommend Tamie as an acupuncturist and healer.

I began seeing Tamie for
stress relief about 6 months ago. I started acupuncture on a weekly basis and saw great results after
the first month. Not only do I walk out of the sessions
feeling 10 times better than I did when I walked in but also throughout the
day. Tamie teaches you how to use the pressure points yourself to release stress during the day and also can provide herbal
remedies samples help you relax. I would recommend Tamie to any one… even if you are not suffering from pain and just need a
release.

Life enhancing treatment!

Every time I've been to "Spa Tamie" I come away amazed at how much better I feel. Tamie has helped me with such things as
chronic insomnia, stress, fatigue and depression. For days, even weeks after seeing her I am so much more relaxed and
comfortable in my body. She often sends me home with herbal remedies for speeding up my recovery, too, and always takes the
time to discuss any issues that may be affecting my overall health. And I actually feel better during the treatment. I still remember
the terrible back pain I had after driving from Dallas to Boston in two days; I barely made it to her office. After being on her table for
15 minutes, the pain started to go away, and the return drive home was pain-free and relaxing. Just amazing!


I call it "Spa Tamie" for several reasons: she gives the most  wonderful massages at the end, as good or better than any I've ever
had; the rooms are so cozy and relaxing; the music is delightful; the perfect temperature, table, pillows, blankets, well, everything
makes me feel pampered, not at all like I'm being "treated."

I've recommended Tamie to so many people that I've lost count by now, and the feedback I've gotten tells me they've all been as
happy as I am. I only have one negative comment to make: Where were you 20 years ago ?

I came to Tamie for treatment of
gum tissue which had been inflamed for over a year as a result of some dental work.  The
dentist was now recommending that I consider root canal as well as gum surgery to alleviate the problem.    I had two sessions
with Tamie.  Two days after the second session the gum was significantly less red and puffy.  Nerve pain associated with the
inflamed gum had also dissipated.  It is now 5 months since this treatment.  I am without pain and the reduction in the swelling of
gum tissue has remained. I do not need any further dental work as a result. Thank you, Tamie.

About two years ago, I started having
very severe pain in my shoulder.  I had weekly massage treatments which temporarily
relieved the pain, but after a few days, the pain would come back.  Last summer, I moved to Boston from NY, and I had to find a
new massage therapist.  I tried a couple different therapists, and then I found Tamie.  At first, I was only going to get a massage
treatment, not acupuncture. I was not ready for an acupuncture treatment since I had never had it in my life and was afraid of
needles going into my body.   But I remembered that my Japanese friend started an acupuncture treatment for her back pain and
told me that it worked very well to relieve her pain.  So I consulted with Tamie and decided to try the acupuncture treatment.  The
needles that she used were very thin and delicate; I was surprised to learn that there was no pain.  Tamie was able to pin-point
the precise area where the pain was located, also she could place the needles exactly where they needed to go. In the past  I had
suffered from severe pain, headaches and nausea due to my tight shoulder muscle, especially when the weather got very cold.
Compared to that time, my shoulders are much more relaxed and I feel much better.  I am very happy with the results!  Thanks,
Tamie-san, for your wonderful treatment!

Infertility. I could not conceive for almost three years. I was 37 years old and almost gave up on trying to become a mother. I had
sought out acupuncture treatments because of
intense pain in my right shoulder blade last Spring. I had seen a number of
specialists, applied a number of steroid creams, and taken oral medications, but the medications made my symptoms worse. At
my very first acupuncture treatment, Tamie pointed out that my shoulder pain was not a muscular problem;
it was resulting from
a hormonal imbalance
. I did not tell her that I wanted to get pregnant because I simply did not know that acupuncture could also
treat infertility. After two months of weekly acupuncture treatments,
my shoulder pain disappeared and I found myself PREGNANT.
When I saw that the pregnancy test was positive, I called Tamie first. I was so excited. I could not believe it. I received regular
acupuncture treatments during the entire pregnancy. My morning sickness was very minimal.
I gave a birth to a baby girl last
month (Jan. '07)
. – baby picture.  Just after I became pregnant last Spring, I referred a friend who had not been able to conceive
for almost a year. Now, she is five months pregnant ! Acupuncture, herbal medicine, neuromuscular massage, and Asian nutrition
therapy really worked.

"I have had the good fortune to receive acupuncture therapy from Tamie Bilazzo for over three years.  The results have been so
effective I have begun to refer to the process simply as "Tamie Treatments".  During my lifetime I have been blessed with excellent
health.  There are times however, that even the best genes and diet cannot prevent the life
stresses and general fatigue from
causing me to
feel rundown.  I depend on Tamie's excellent skills and training to aid me in a variety of situations.  During times of
insomnia, I call Tamie.  When I am stressed and overworked, I book an appointment with Tamie.  When I am fatigued and
experience an increase in my tinnitus symptoms (ringing in ears), I call Tamie and schedule a treatment.  

My experiences receiving these treatments has led me to a strong conviction that  acupuncture is a more healthy alternative to
sleep medications at night and caffeine in the morning.  After a Tamie treatment I am much more relaxed, thus able to be more
apt to handle life's bumps by possessing more clarity and calmness.  

Often after a "Tamie Treatment", I will go straight home, take a nice hot bath, go to bed, and get a full night's sleep.  On most
occasions the treatment in conjunction with a restful sleep will reduce my
tinnitus symptoms significantly.  

I recently arrived to work one morning to have a co-worker comment that I looked much more "perky" than normal.  This is a term
rarely used in describing me in the morning.  I have recommended Tamie to my family, friends and acquaintances, all of whom
have had positive results.  She is even recommended by my family MD, a family practice physician in Arlington.  Thanks Tamie for
improving my quality of life."

"I did not know a lot about acupuncture before I had my first treatment with Tamie.  I’d had some friends who had tried it and liked
it but I was more than a little skeptical.  In the spring of 2004, I was suffering from
a pain in my hip that was ultimately diagnosed
as
bursitis.  I tried to keep up my regular activities but found that after an exercise class or a day of skiing I suffered for days.
Sitting was uncomfortable, as was standing for any length of time. I sought traditional treatment with a great sports medicine
doctor.  She explained that my injury was an overuse injury and that it was likely to flare its ugly head at times.  The
doctor gave
me a shot of cortisone
, which helped for a couple of days but didn’t cure the problem.  After months of icing, heat, and
prescription and OTC anti-inflammatory medications, I was pretty frustrated.  I knew it was not an option to have a cortisone shot
every week.

Tamie and I are neighbors.  One day she saw me limping down my driveway to bring out my trash.  She inquired about my
problem and she suggested acupuncture might help.  I was at the point where I just wanted some relief so I decided to give it a
try.  I was worried that the needles would hurt and was unsure how this treatment could help.  I put my fear and skepticism aside
and gave Tamie and her treatment a try.  After the first session I noticed an improvement.  It wasn’t a cure all but I definitely felt
better.  I went back for another treatment.  I would say after four treatments I felt fully recovered.  The added bonus was that the
treatments seemed to
improve my sleep and relax me both during and after the treatments. My problem has flared up a couple of
times since my first treatments.  When that happens, I simply head back to Tamie and she treats the problem.  

The thing I like best about acupuncture is that you feel the results right away and, for me at least, there were no uncomfortable
side effects.  I am grateful that Tamie saw me suffering that spring day so she could introduce me to a form of treatment that I now
rely on to treat my injury.  I highly recommend Tamie and her treatments."

- Rachel, Arlington

"Tamie has treated me for stress,
insomnia, knee problems, and asthma--(I do my best to keep her busy!)--and she has helped
me with all of these issues. After each Tamie treatment, I’m guaranteed to feel more relaxed and to get a good night sleep. I’m a
runner and have a chronic knee problem resulting from injuries and arthritis. The combination of acupuncture and light therapy
has allowed me to continue to run with less discomfort. I have also been treating my mild-to-moderate asthma with medication for
several years. Wanting to reduce or eliminate the need for medication, I have explored alternative methods, such as acupuncture
and herbal remedies.

Since I started working with Tamie, I have
cut my use of prescription medication in half and am hoping to stop altogether soon.

Tamie treatments are the best !"

- Joyce, Bedford

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"I started seeing Tamie to find relief from
a very severe and very unpredictable menstrual-related pain. The pain was so intense
that when it occurred, I would usually end up lying on the floor (wherever I happened to be at the time), battling severe nausea,
faintness, and intense sweating for about two hours. Then, the pain would disappear, and I wouldn't experience it again for
another month or six months or more. I'd asked several M.D.s about the pain, and they had alternately suggested that I might be
suffering from estrogen withdrawal, dehydration, endometriosis, and even appendicitis.

None of them could offer a solid diagnosis or a suggestion for treatment because I couldn't appear in the office at the exact time
that I was experiencing the pain. (It's not so easy to get to a doctor's office while lying on the floor in agony.) The first time I
mentioned the pain to Tamie, she suggested acupuncture as a treatment. I'd never tried acupuncture before and knew little about
it, but Tamie was so confident and knowledgeable in her explanation of how she could help me that I immediately decided to try.

Since I started receiving treatments from Tamie, the intensity of my pain has decreased significantly, and I no longer experience
the faintness or excessive sweating that used to accompany the pain. And as an added bonus, the treatments also help me relax
and deal with what has lately been a very stressful life. I usually fall asleep during the treatments, and when I leave Tamie's office,
I always feel peaceful and refreshed.

Tamie is a truly talented and caring practitioner. I recommend her with the highest level of confidence. She knows what she is
doing, and she does it exceptionally well."

I started having
severe lower back pain 6 months ago. It got worse whenever I bent over.  I could not stand for a couple of weeks,
so my husband took me to see an orthopedic doctor in a major hospital who prescribed  physical therapy.  I did it for one month, It
made a slight improvement but my severe back pain continued.  Then my friend referred me to the Japanese Acupuncture Clinic
in Lexington.  I have never had acupuncture before but I decided to go for it.   After receiving two acupuncture and massage
treatments with Tamie, my backache became unnoticeable. Tamie also gave me dietary advice that helped me to loose a few
pounds as well. If you have any problems like back pain  I suggest visiting this clinic

- Tomoko, N. Andover

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"When Tamie first treated me for
panic attacks, insomnia, and job stress-related pain relief over the past year, I experienced an
almost immediate and dramatic improvement in quality of sleep and less
pain in my back and shoulders.  She has a good feel
for and adept at figuring out a person's immediate problems and using acupuncture to hit not just the symptoms, but address the
root cause of those symptoms.

Tamie's talent with treatments have helped me in many ways--less pain, more energy for the day ahead, and better quality of
sleep too.  Thanks, Tamie!"
