S. Frances Butler L.Ac., M.Ac.O.M is amazing!! I have always avoided acupuncture for health because of the needles… I hate getting shots!!! However, a severe foot injury and massive nerve damage had left me feeling let down by established American Medicine. A friend massaged my feet using a pressure point technique and suggested Chinese Medicine as a viable medical solution. I was not prepared for the wonderful experience I had with Frances Butler. I was very needy when I saw Frances for the first time. Her gentle confident and positive manner put me at ease, she listened to my needs with care. When it came time for the “needles”… ooohhh…. hmmm… I didn’t feel what I expected.. pain of course.. the fear of the piercing!!! NO I didn’t feel pain. What happened was warm, loving, presence. I was surrounded by a bath of glowing, nurturing, healing. I decided to see Frances weekly. I have had a decided improvement in my feet and my general feeling of well being. If you are considering acupuncture I recommend S. Frances Butler of Young Pine Acupuncture in SW Portland for your first time because of her skill, her education, her ability and willingness to work with whatever situation you are dealing with regarding traditional medicine. I am very grateful to her for the very effective medical help I have received!
I highly recommend Frances. She understands your needs quickly and is very knowledgeable in a wide variety of areas. I was surprised by the progress I made in a very short time.
Frances brought me from depending on pain killers to a healthier and higher performing self. She listens carefully and makes informed suggestions on treatment(s), and other helpful lifestyle changes. She is also very patient when this patient doesn’t always follow directions!! She has quelled the pain and keeps it away, as well as treating moods, and anxiety issues. She is very caring and dedicated to her work and it is proven in the results achieved. Not bad for a guy terrified of needles!!! Words cannot thank you enough Frances; you are a blessing!!!!
You are my life saver! :)
I really appreciate for your kindness with very effective treatment, the time when I lost too much weight under extreme stress. As soon as I got the wrist band (for the pressure points) and start taking the herbal medicine, I stopped throwing up after eating, and next day I got better appetite. Now, I got my normal weight in very good health :)
Without your help I could not make the transition to new career.
Thank you very much for helping me out from the difficult situation.
Just had my first acupuncture treatment by Sarah Frances Butler yesterday and let me tell you all, it is amazing! The effects weren’t instant, but my cramped neck feels a thousand times better! It’s been a problem for months now. If you guys have never tried it go see her at Young Pine!
