“I cannot say enough about Debbie Vaughn, her professionalism, and the treatment that I received. I am an avid bowler, and was having pain in my elbow and knee. I went to Debbie to get the pain resolved so I could continue bowling pain free. Debbie spent time to understand how the pain was manifesting, where specifically the pain was and what her treatment would be for the pain. After having the treatment I have been pain free for months and I’m bowling better than ever!” –C.B.



“I began seeing Debbie two years ago and was a mess hormonally, physically and emotionally.  I had so many issues that I didn't know where to begin.  We began with the most pressing one which was a continuous headache from tension in my back and neck.  I had been to massage therapists but they couldn't even get to the knots because my fascia was so tight.  After one treatment, my pain was reduced in half.  She chipped away at symptoms that I couldn't identify because I was so consumed with pain.  I began to sleep through the night instead of taking a series of three hour naps which left me exhausted and irritable.

I trust Debbie's holistic approach in wellness. She knows how to find the root of problem and always refers to physicians when appropriate. She works in conjunction with the medical community and does not exclude western medicine's role in her patient's lives.

 She made such a difference in my life that my daughter began going to her for anxiety.  She has become a totally different teen and has a peace about her that she has never had before.”

I became a 'believer' in the science of acupuncture about 9 months ago when my journey to wellness began.  I have experienced anxiety and occasional panic attacks for the past 16 years of my life.  If you have ever been in that place, you know it is not a fun place to be...There have been a couple of medication attempts for control but now I realize that if you are not addressing the root of the problem, you are just applying a 'bandaid' and not really  fixing the problem.  With Debbie's wonderful healing touch, I have been able to have a much better understanding of the cause of my anxiety and know which mechanisms that I do have control of to lessen the 'heat.'  I am very proud that it only took about 3 months to get completely off of a 16 year medication that I never liked taking, never solved the root of my problem and was not really any good for my body.  I continue to enjoy my acupuncture sessions and view them as a continuing part of my wellness path.  -S.H.



”Not so long ago I was a stay at home mom who was feeling down, frazzled, and always on edge.  I tried an anti-depressant but could not shake the way I was feeling all the time.  Then my life crossed paths with Debbie, an acupuncturist at the local yoga studio.  During my first visit with Debbie she made me feel very comfortable talking about the way I was feeling and the way I wanted to feel.  After my first treatment I felt like my "life load" was a little bit lighter. I have continued seeing Debbie over the past year and look forward to my acupuncture appointments and the calmness that it brings into my life and my family.”  - RW




"My first visit, I was extremely skeptical and hesitant about getting acupuncture, but after numbness in my hand for over two months I was ready to try anything. Debbie was warm, welcoming, and very receptive to my concerns. She restored the feeling in my hand after one visit, and since then I have sought her treatments for insomnia, anxiety and depression. The results have been significantly beneficial and I am witness to the healing that is possible through acupuncture."-J.K.



”I recently dislocated a bone in my wrist. It was very painful and made it impossible to do my daily activities. In one very relaxing and pain free session Debbie was able to diagnose the problem, and completely fix my wrist. After letting it rest for about a week I was able to return to my daily yoga practice, and haven't had any problems since! Debbie is an amazing practitioner. Her treatments and advice have had such an enormously positive influence in the lives of my entire family. We'll continue to be her patients as long as she is a practitioner!"  -M.G.



Dear Debbie, 

I want to thank you for the work or should I say, miracle, you helped perform in getting me back on my feet. As you know I had been traveling quite a bit on business when my back went out while I was flying across the country. I was in such bad shape I needed assistance to get on and off the plane, including having someone help carry my laptop to my cab as I did not have the strength to hold anything.  Hunched over and in great pain I finally made it back to Austin and gave you a call. You were so kind in allowing me to come see you immediately and continue our sessions everyday for six days (.…gracefully giving up some of your evening and weekend family time). 

Treatment wise, you correctly assessed the problem and proceeded to get me back on my feet. Through Castol oil packs, acupuncture, Gua Sha, tui na, therapeutic stretching techniques, deep relaxation, and herbs that you put together, you brought on a magic cure in record time. What made the timeliness of my recovery so important to me was that I was scheduled to go out of the country in less than a week for a ten day vacation but could barely walk when I came to see you.  Thank you so much for the great work you did, you are a life saver!

 What I valued most and what I hope those that read this letter will appreciate about you was the time and genuine interest you took in helping me to understand my problem and the necessary treatments to fix it.  When you pointed out to me where the source of my pain was coming from on your wall chart of the human body and then outlined the step by step process you were going to use to heal me, I began to truly have confidence that my back would get back to normal, not only quickly, but in a natural way. The calm, yet confidence in your voice during our sessions only furthered my belief that this natural form of healing was the right way to go.

 Thank you so much for all that you did and continue to do in our general maintenance / wellbeing sessions.  You have my full endorsement.  Warmly, S.V.
