Dr. Jen has masterfully addressed gout, sinus/allergies, and just recently issues with a pinched nerve in my neck. The treatments enabled me to eliminate prescription and OTC medications as part of a holistic approach. I highly recommend her services! Thanks Dr. Jen.

Since I have seen Dr. Jen my headaches, backaches, lady-aches, and all sorts of other pain are nonexistent.  Those weren’t my only improvements.  My energy and memory have improved drastically along with a priceless sense of overall health I haven’t felt in years.

I am a cosmetologist and always on my feet, resulting in extreme back and shoulder pain from excessive blow drying. I have been in two car accidents giving me chronic pain in my lower back and SI joint. After seeing Dr. Dabu, I was pain-free for the first time in six years.

Dr. Jen targeted my knee and back pain as well as the hot flashes and night sweat issues that I was having. The thing that surprised me was my night sweats disappeared. This is the first time in months that I have not been awakened by them!  

Dr. Dabu is my new favorite acupuncturist. I went to her because I couldn’t even move my neck side to side. Within the first ten minutes of treatment I could feel my neck muscles loosening. All the tension I had been carrying for months was erased with Dr. Dabu’s help.

I have suffered the effects of IBS for 7 years and have tried numerous remedies for the cramping, bloating, and diarrhea.  Nothing worked until I tried acupuncture. The cramping, pain and discomfort I had for so long associated with eating was completely gone.  

I was suffering with bad lower back pain. I also had very sore knees from arthritis which woke me at night. Since the acupuncture, my knees have improved and I have not woken during the night from pain. Also, my lower back pain has improved drastically.

I felt it working immediately! Back pain that I’ve had for many years got better, no menstrual cramps at all, IBS symptoms that I’ve had for 30 years almost completely disappeared, it was an amazing experience.

Never thought of acupuncture for my back pain. I thought I would see if it might help me. After 3 (treatments) I can feel the difference. I’m so glad it’s working for me. I had a hard time walking and was getting pain in my legs. Now I can walk farther without pain. Thank you so much for helping me.

After the first session I noticed a remarkable improvement in the tingling and numbness in my feet and legs. After the second session the improvement continued and I also experienced an improvement in the soreness of my hamstrings. I plan on continuing treatments.

Jennifer is a skilled acupuncturist who took the time to understand my condition and history.  Her treatments are gentle, painless, and effective.  I found my time on the treatment table to be very relaxing and I felt peaceful after my sessions with her.

The AquaSpa staff recommended I see Jennifer for healing of a severe bruise. Although skeptical about acupuncture treatments, I was immediately won over by Jennifer’s professionalism and genuine caring. She coordinated a plan with the spa for my treatment and I am thrilled to say that she has healed not only my bruise in record time but my overall well being. I am looking forward to finding an acupuncturist at home and maybe being fortunate enough to work with Jennifer again.

I met Jennifer 9 months ago when I first stared working on ships.  I was telling her how I never tried acupuncture before because I didn’t think I had any reason to.  Then I started getting sea sick to the point I would feel nauseous and throw up.  I took sea sickness pills daily for one month and they did not help.  I struggled with this for a month and it was affecting my work.  Jennifer told me that I must come and see her.  I have never looked back.  8 months after I received treatments, it was a series of 4 treatments and occasional preventative treatments when we were warned that the seas would be rough, I haven’t experienced the sea sickness again.  Thanks Jennifer you really are amazing. 

As a former electrical engineer, I suspect Jennifer has brought a great deal of science to her strong artistry with acupuncture.  She is truly gifted.  She can liberate you if you let her into your open mind and willing body.  Let go of the pain, the blockages – gain relief and great energy.  Jennifer frees more and more with every treatment.

I have visited Jennifer numerous times for acupuncture treatments and each experience has been beneficial both for the heart and body.  She is informative, easy to talk to, and willing to answer any questions I have.  I am a graduate student and finding natural ways of helping my body heal from stress are a top priority.  Treatments have helped me substantially reduce menstrual pain, digestion issues, joint/muscle pain, acne and occasional back pain.  Acupuncture has also helped with my stress, worry and anxiety.  What I appreciate most about this form of medicine is that is addresses the root issue in the process of alleviating the symptoms I see in pain, inflammation and indigestion.  Not only do I feel better but I am confident that I can work with my body through treatments (along with diet and exercise) to be strong, healthy and pain-free!

I received acupuncture for my low energy level and food cravings this week and saw an immediate difference. The results were so gratifying as I was able to make the most of my day without wasting time napping and I was able to skip dessert and over eating which allowed me to feel much better and not so stuffed to the point I was ill. I can’t wait to get home and continue my treatments.

I met Jennifer on the 3rd day onboard. I was tired of lack of energy and fatigue. I could not even climb a set of stairs without huffing and puffing. I decided to listen to her presentation on advantages of acupuncture. She was very convincing and after the presentation I spoke to her one on one and I felt confident to try it. I had an amazing experience. In port in Cozumel, I walked for 6km and I was energetic enough to do so. I felt much better than I had been in years. I recommend Jennifer and acupuncture to anyone needing a resetting of their body.

As a dancer, I constantly suffer from aches and pains. The second I’m receiving treatment through acupuncture, the targeted area starts to tingle and relax. It doesn’t take long before my body goes from severe pain to completely relaxed. I usually fall asleep during treatment.

Jennifer saved me my cruise experience from having to stay in bed the whole time.  I had 3 treatments and after 2 of them I had relief from pain enough to go on the rest of my excursions.  Thank you Jennifer for your expertise and your kindness.

I was treated for TMJ pain – I was taking advil all day long.  After the treatment, I was advil free.  I am being treated again for digestive health and the results are amazing!  I would recommend acupuncture to everyone, Jennifer Dabu is amazing, full of knowledge and very professional.  Thank you for all your help.

I have been experiencing a great deal of pain in my legs for quite a while.  After hearing Jennifer Dabu speak about acupuncture as a treatment to ease pain, I decided to give it a try.  At my first treatment, my pain level on a scale of 1-10 was an 8 in my right and left leg was a 9.  After a few treatments, my right leg is now at a pain level of 2 and my left leg is now a 5.  I have seen improvements despite being very active while on a 2 week cruise.  I strongly feel my situation will improve once I am home an my activity level will not be as strenuous.

Having never had acupuncture, I was uncertain whether the insertion of tiny needles would result in lessening the pain I was experiencing.  When I arrived for my first of 3 sessions, I was almost in tears from the effects of 2 pinched nerves.  Miss Jennifer was kind and comforting and I felt immediately at ease.  After 30 minutes, miracle of miracles, I was pain free for the first time in weeks.  This lasted throughout the next day!  Although the second session did not have the same results, I am hopeful that the third one will help get me through the remainder of the trip.  The effects in total, were better than the steroid injections I’ve had.  Thank you!  Bless you!!”

About 18 months ago I started getting pains in my left hand.  I am a hairdresser by trade and just put it down to a tough day at work.  The pain started to get more noticeable until it became constant.  I saw a doctor and was diagnosed with repetitive strain injury (R.S.I.).  She told me that I would have to wear a brace and it would take at least a month to heal.  This injury is very common in the hairdressing industry and many people have had to give up their career because of this. I have now had 5 acupuncture treatments with Jennifer and now have no pain in my hand.  I did find it a little funny that my complaint was my hand and she put needles in my right foot, but I’m cured and have no more pain in my hand.  Thank you Jennifer you have saved my career.

I was a Dance Captain on board the Celebrity Century from October 2009 until May 2010.  Before I boarded the vessel, I severely injured my hamstring during rehearsals.  I received several deep tissue massages on land before I left, but I was in serious pain.  I happened to live down the hall from Jennifer Dabu and talked to her about my injury.  She was more than willing to accommodate me.  At my first appointment she asked me many questions regarding my pain and background on the injury.  She fully explained the process of Acupuncture and the amazing benefits patients receive from it.  She was very gentle when applying the needles and comforting during the procedure.  The change in my hamstring was unbelievable.  I was able to get through performances and daily functions without the pain.  I saw her several times and I owe much of my recovery to her knowledge, skill and bed side manner!  She is a warm, friendly person who offers such incredible services!

I have to admit, I was a bit of a skeptic when I caught a cold and was suffering from severe congestion. I decided to ask Jennifer, our Acupuncturist, if Acupuncture could relieve my symptoms. She did a treatment and I felt a little better right away. But it wasn’t until the next morning when I became a true believer. My congestion was almost completely cleared. I couldn’t believe it! Next time I am suffering from congestion, pain, whatever… I’ll be sure to call Jennifer right away.

I had been experiencing a greater amount of stress and lower back pain in the past few months. And found that some of the more traditional methods of treatment were not as effective. So I gave acupuncture a try. I received 4 treatments while onboard. I noticed an almost immediate release of the pressure in my lower back. As the treatments continued, the stress was much less. The sessions were very relaxing and would recommend this to anyone looking for an alternative to traditional methods, such as medications.

First let me say I LOVE ACUPUNCTURE!!!  No, I don’t love pain, I love that I can immediately feel relaxed and when the acupuncture session is over, I feel like I’ve had the best massage of my life!  While living on the ship (Celebrity Century) performing, I felt anxiety, stress and sometimes just didn’t sleep well.  I felt my body was unbalanced and was trying to adjust to an unfamiliar environment.  As a dancer and gym nut, I am very in tune with my body and knew my body was “off.”  Trying acupuncture with Jennifer for only the second time in my life began an experience and healing I’ll never forget.  After the first two sessions I felt calmer, more centered and with the “heat” in my body, I felt cooler internally.  Life wasn’t coming at me and affecting me as much as now, I could just handle moment by moment with more ease.  My appetite changed for the better (craving healthier foods), my sleeping pattern changed to where I was sleeping soundly and feeling well rested as I woke up, and I just felt happier because I felt more grounded.  The physical benefits were obvious, but the mental and emotional benefits were what had me convinced!  I would say this is one of if not the best ways to heal and balance the body, after all it has been around for more than a thousand years!
