Dr. Cailin is so amazing! She has helped me to learn and grow so much through her intuition and ability to communicate. She is a truly gifted practitioner and I feel so validated and understood each time I see her. I didn't know it was possible for me to change old habits or to move on from the grief I have experienced but she has helped me to stop dwelling on the past and has helped me to grow and evolve into a better version of myself. I highly recommend Sun Tree to anyone in need of healing!

Common FAQs:
Treatment for Grief + Depression
Does the acupuncture hurt?
Acupuncture needles are extremely thin, so the treatments do not hurt. In fact, patients are always surprised at how little they feel during a treatment. Instead, patients generally report feeling tingling, heaviness and deep relaxation. 

Do I have to keep coming in for treatment when the program ends?
No. Patients generally do not need to continue treatment for long-term "maintenance." That being said, many of our patients come in monthly or as desired for the therapeutic benefits.

Will I have to spend a lot of time coming in for treatments?
No. Most of our patients get great results with a treatment plan of once-weekly treatments and our self-paced online program. We can discuss this more in detail during your assessment.
Can natural medicine actually help me in my grieving process or depressive episodes?
Absolutely. You have the ability to heal, period. Our method diagnoses and treats your unique patterns of depression, grief and sadness. This means you will feel better as we help you heal the root causes of your symptoms. Even better, patients report that other symptoms also improve such as fatigue, pain, digestive problems, allergies and more.
​
How long does it take to see results?
Patients often feel positive shifts after their very first treatment. This effect builds after each sequential treatment. We will provide you with a treatment plan that explains your program and what to expect. 

How can your treatments improve my mood? It is just a temporary benefit?
Because our treatment therapies are actually treating the root causes of your symptoms, once those root causes healed, symptoms resolve. For some it may seem like a miracle, but it's actually just the way healing works! Our treatments and coaching actually help YOU to develop a deeper understanding of your thoughts and emotions so you can build a more supportive relationship with yourself.
