“ I came to Debbie’s practice after more than six years of trying to heal a perforated eardrum. I had seen many incredible doctors who helped me understand what was happening in my body, but I was still living with major deficits after an autoimmune episode and couldn’t find lasting answers.

My journey began in 2018, when a sudden vertigo episode, fever, and hearing loss led to multiple failed rounds of treatment and, ultimately, permanent nerve damage. For six years I lived with uncertainty, a hearing aid I struggled to use, and a tube in my eardrum that never healed. By 2024, I was told that if the eardrum didn’t close naturally, surgery—along with further hearing loss—would be my only option. I felt hopeless.

I had previously had positive experiences with acupuncture, and after hearing about Debbie, I reached out. She called me directly, and we spoke for nearly an hour. I shared my story; she generously shared hers. I had a gut feeling she could help me. She had a protocol specifically for healing ear tissue, and I made an appointment right away.

Within one month of starting Debbie’s protocol, my ear had healed 70%. Even my Neurotologist/Otolaryngologist was stunned. By the three-month mark, my eardrum was fully healed — and some of my hearing had returned. Just a little, but enough to give me hope.

This journey has taught me the value of having true partners in your healthcare. Debbie is my teammate. I trust her completely. She is honest, respectful, deeply knowledgeable, and hopeful. She doesn’t just offer expertise — she offers empowerment. She teaches you to listen to and communicate with your body. As her patient, you are not a victim of your circumstances; you are an active participant in your healing.

Ironically, I’ve never felt more grateful for my body than when it has “failed” me. The mindset shift Debbie fosters is truly priceless.”
