Testimonials
“Olga is a fantastic acupuncture professional! I have seen her for several months and can attest to a marked improvement in how I feel throughout the day. As an Army officer who is accustomed to pulling a lot of night shifts, I have to deal with irregular hours and stress on a daily basis. Olga has been able to "normal me out" and restore my biological clock. She has also helped me to alleviate knee and back pain allowing me to get back to demanding physical activities. Olga is an acupuncture practitioner bar none, who has consistently attempted to listen to my body and identify my inner issues. I could not give a higher or more sincere recommendation to Olga and could only wish other acupuncturists could show a similar level of care for their patients. Can’t wait to be back soon!!!” -- Vitaly G.

"Acupuncture with Olga restored my sense of self and well-being. I saw Olga for several months, and upon the first session with her, I saw immediate improvement in my emotional and physical health. Olga was caring, attentive, extremely knowledgeable, and insightful. Her treatments helped me sleep better, made my cycle less painful, boosted my immune system, and provided me with more energy. Most importantly, Olga's treatments assisted me with the emotional process of letting go of old habits that were no longer serving a healthy purpose in my life. Olga's sessions provided me with the tools I need to be happy, healthy, and at peace with myself and the world around me. I highly recommend Olga to anyone who is interested in exploring the amazing benefits of acupuncture!!!" -- Corinne N.

"I began seeing Olga as a patient 3 months ago for insomnia; and, not only has my sleep improved significantly, but my overall physical, emotional, and mental well being has also benefited tremendously. Olga has made me aware of the emotional and/or mental causes of my ailments; and, through the treatments she has relieved many of my symptoms and provided me with the tools I need to continue making proactive lifestyle changes. Olga is an extremely skilled, caring, and supportive practitioner, and I would highly recommend her to anyone interested in acupuncture." -- Kara R.

"I have been seeing Olga for several months after being referred by my brother and can truly say that she is a truly kind and thoughtful practitioner who is a master of her profession. I had never tried acupuncture before and decided to try it in addition to traditional medicine to help alleviate pain from an athletic injury; I found Olga’s approach to be effective in helping me get better as well as in boosting my overall health. She believes in whole body and mind approach to health and is extremely passionate about helping her patients." -- Eugene G.

"I have been seeing Olga for about 4 months. I enjoy my weekly sessions with Olga because of her warm and uplifting demeanor. I sought Olga's acupuncture services because of her expertise in women's health. I suffered from extreme menstrual cramps and PMS. In addition to my menstrual issues, I experience stress from day-to-day life in Washington D.C. Now, I have comfortable periods without PMS and no longer have to rely on prescription pain medication." -- Amy N.

"Acupuncture treatment with Olga helped prepare me physically and emotionally for pregnancy. With her expert knowledge of fertility, Olga provided targeted acupuncture that boosted my mind, body and spirit; and, ultimately, I believe, helped me become and stay pregnant. When emotional stress from work negatively affected me, an acupuncture session with Olga turned my outlook around. She also provided practical tips for all-around wellness that I could put into practice outside of our sessions together. Olga is not only extremely knowledgeable about acupuncture, but she is also an empathetic and caring person. I highly recommend her services, particularly for those preparing for the journey of pregnancy." -- Christine C.

"After four failed rounds of IVF, I decided to give acupuncture a try throughout my 5th round. Olga was very thorough and patient, asking a lot of interesting questions about issues that may have affected my fertility but I had not considered before. As an acupuncture novice, I had limited expectations. However, I was surprised at how comfortable the experience was and I found myself looking forward to appointments with Olga. Lo and behold, the IVF was finally successful and we are expecting a baby girl next month. I would strongly recommend Olga's acupuncture services as a supplementary treatment to traditional fertility treatments. It worked for me -- and it was even covered by my insurance!" -- Emily F.

"Most of my life I have tried to be proactive rather than reactive towards my health. That’s why, last year I decided that I wanted to explore more about Acupuncture, especially since this is a natural and non-invasive procedure. That’s when I started my treatment with Olga. I was pleasantly surprised by the immediate positive reaction that my body experienced. There were some occasions where I would come in with some digestive trouble or women related issues and these would go away the very day I had my acupuncture treatment. In regards to Olga as my acupuncturist, she always showed an impressive level of detail and concern about my overall health. I would recommend her to my friends and everyone." -- Monica G.

"Having lived with constipation since childhood, I had forgotten what healthy bowel movements felt like until I met Olga in March 2015. With Chinese Herbal Medicine and Acupuncture treatments, Olga helped me experience such healthy bowel movements that I had perhaps never experienced before. Constipation may seem like a minor annoyance, but it is an indication that the body is not able to eliminate all that needs to be eliminated. Not only this impacts the quality of life but also it can lead to more serious illnesses overtime.
With her determination to treat the root cause instead of the symptoms, Olga took the time during each session to carefully listen to my recent life events, both big and small, to assess appropriate treatments. I have recommended Olga to my husband and friends. My husband and I often make an appointment with her on a same day and experience a mini retreat - by taking the time out from our daily lives and taking care of ourselves." -- Mie M.

"I have seen Olga as my acupuncturist for almost a year. I was having problems with sleeping affecting my waking hours. I also had problems with high blood pressure. I have found that the treatment I have received from Olga has worked well with other changes I have made in my life such that I am sleeping better and my blood pressure is under control. All of this has helped me have a better quality of life which is even more important now that we have a new baby in the family. Olga is exceedingly easy to talk to. It was simple to share the facets of my life in which I wanted improvement without fear of judgment. Her sincere caring and knowledge comfortably puts my mind at ease and makes my time with her a pleasure." -- Shawn J.

“I started my acupuncture treatment with Olga focusing on lowering down my stress level and menstrual cramps. She is a listener, observer, sensitive and delicate person, making me feel very comfortable expressing my feelings in another idiom, easily crossing the language barrier. Adding to her natural skills is the fact that she is a knowledgeable professional, who precisely analyses your symptoms. Olga would take all the necessary time I needed to feel better; she has been patient with me, not rushing the session, as you experience with medical treatments. I fully recommend her treatment.” -- Juliana B.

"I've been a patient of Olga Magas for a few years. Throughout the acupuncture and Chinese herb treatment I’ve noticed changes on physical, mental and emotional levels. Initially, I came to Olga to treat pain in my left shoulder blade that kept radiating down my arm. This issue has been successfully resolved after a couple of targeted treatments. Also, I noticed such wonderful changes as energy boost, less bloating, fewer cold sore outbreaks. Overall, I think acupuncture has a great effect on my immune system. On the mental level, it helped me concentrate and increase alertness and memory. My relatives also noticed positive shift in my attitude. I became less irritable, stressed and aloof.
Olga suggested the use of Chinese herbs for some chronic conditions. I came to treat a heavy menstrual bleeding and resulting from this condition anemia in April 2015. So far I’ve taken several formulae of herbs. I felt increased energy levels, less bleeding and clotting during my period and a better appetite.
Olga has been extremely attentive during all sessions. She always made me feel comfortable to share different episodes of my life during the interview sessions. I can feel that she cares about me and that she has my best interest at heart. She’s been direct and honest, which gives me a reason to trust her. Olga always behaves in the ethical way. She’s polite, gentle and willing to help. I’ve recommended Olga to many of my friends and relatives as a primary health practitioner.
Also, the pricing is very affordable. I did a comparative research and Olga’s prices were the most competitive for this type of medical service. I haven’t considered the practices offering acupuncture as part of the massage sessions, because in my opinion they are a total rip-off and give acupuncture a bad name.
The atmosphere at Olga’s practice is very warm and friendly, you can truly relax once she starts working her magic with the needles. The smell of herbs takes your mind away from your problems into the green meadows and deep forests." -- Tanya H.

"Originally I was interested in receiving acupuncture treatments as a way to mitigate some of the stress of being a new parent. While my pregnancy and delivery were routine and without difficulty, we moved at the end of my pregnancy, causing some lingering stress. Combined with a number of minor medical problems my son and I faced the first two months after his birth, and his colicky behavior decreasing my available sleeping time, I was feeling thoroughly exhausted most of the time. I was also feeling emotionally worn down, and having a difficult time engaging with my son, or anybody, really. I also was having trouble truly relaxing, even when asleep I was somehow also on alert and jumpy. During this time I was also getting test results suggesting my thyroid wasn’t functioning at healthy levels. I have always had some symptoms for sub-clinical hypothyroidism, and Hashimoto’s runs in my family, so this seemed to be the onset of clinical hypothyroidism.
In the summer of 2013 I started getting weekly treatments, and I would have been there every other day were it possible. I feel as though it took about 4 months just to build up my physical stamina to where I felt I wasn’t slogging through to the end of the day. Perhaps half a year into the treatment I was feeling pretty well physically, and my thought patterns and emotional life became, for me, the topic of this work. I found this most interesting, and sometimes the short counseling chats with Olga before treatment gave me insights into my behavior that were perhaps as profound as the needling experiences. It was tremendously helpful for me to be able to link the idea of creativity and anger, both in my current role as a mom, but also as a way to contextualize some of my past. I’m curious what the rest of the year will teach me about myself.
Olga has been able to combine a warm and accepting demeanor with an impressive sort of rigorous precision in drilling down through my vagaries, descriptions of shifting forces not wholly conscious to me, and at times, thought patterns and habits. She also strikes a fine balance of educating on the theories behind acupuncture, but staying comprehensible to the lay patient.
In conclusion, I have had success seeing my thyroid symptoms reduce. I no longer “run cold” at night, my basal body temperature has improved (had been in the mid 96’s, is now consistently in the low to mid 98’s), as has my skin. After getting a blood panel earlier this year my thyroid numbers are back in the sub-clinical range, and nearly normal. I have enough energy and stamina to make it through the day, and actually enjoy my child and myself.” -- Anne M.
