I have been going to Carlos for over 10 years on and off and every time I go back I remember how relaxing and soothing is to have acupuncture with him. He has the this calm energy that really helps me to settle in a session. He knows exactly where I need the needles and the heated lamp and I like that he also does some manual therapy on me or we do breathing exercises so I can heal. Carlos also gives me Chinese herbs that have been extremely helpful with the perimenopause symptoms.

I was pretty depressed and Dr. Durana really helped me out of it. He’s a trained psychotherapist on top of an acupuncturist. I highly recommend him.

Dr. Durana is very personable, professional, knowledgable and he worked with me on my shoulder. In fact, it was his technique with Acupuncture and working with his hands on my frozen shoulder that help with my healing process. I went to him once a week for several weeks. After each visit the motion in my shoulder was better. I highly recommend Dr. Durana.

When I began seeing Dr. Durana, I was newly diagnosed with an autoimmune disorder and felt badly depleted. After the first acupuncture and treatment session, my chronic nausea disappeared, and I regained my stamina and energy gradually. Dr. Durana is a skilled practitioner who deploys a variety of techniques and modalities to promote healing. I highly recommend Dr. Durana, and I am grateful for his kindness and expertise.

Dr. Durana is amazing! I went for sciatic nerve pain and in one visit I felt a huge difference! He shares at home stretches that are really helpful. Nice clean office is a major plus!

Dr. Durana been an integral part of my life in regards to mental health. In January 2012, I was diagnosed with Stage IV Breast Cancer and have seen him on a monthly basis ever since. I sincerely believe Dr. Durana assisted in achieving these remarkable results. During my numerous doctor appointments and scans, I have been able to consistently maintain a positive outlook. Dr. Durana continues to help me understand the importance of the mind and how it will emotionally/physically impact my life.

I am so thankful for finding Carlos Durana!! I have been going to him for acupuncture on and off for the last few months. From working with my anxiety to hip and leg pain, he has helped me though these issues. Seasons in Our Life is a wonderful space for therapy and healing.

I initially contacted Dr. Durana for an acupuncture appointment because of chronic rotator cuff pain. His manner is professional yet caring and gentle. His method for combining acupuncture with body work has been a great combination of treatment for me. Over time, shoulder pain has become less of a problem but the combined treatment has addressed other issues, like sciatic nerve compression from running, neck aches likely from my overall posture and even intense menstrual cramping. I think not only is the bimodal treatment a reason for the improvements, but also that Dr. Durana himself is an element of the healing process. No matter the reason for the particular appointment, I leave my time with him feeling grounded, rested and more energetic than when I arrived. His approach addresses specific physical complaints and always contributes to my overall sense of well-being. Amazing! I highly recommend him! 5 Stars!

Dr. Carlos Durana has assisted me with my back pain with acupuncture, exercises, manual manipulation, and deep tissue massage. He has helped me immensely using these tools of therapy. But, I appreciated not just his knowledge, but his sensitivity and caring manner that he uses as he goes about his treatment program. I am so very grateful for his talents. Dennis Light

Dr. Durana is far and away the best integrative health specialist I have ever met and nothing I can say really does justice to the gentleman: he is extremely intelligent, a compassionate and caring person, and a truly outstanding practitioner, not to mention highest professional integrity. I count myself truly lucky to have found him. I came to Dr. Durana with the strong pain in my back and left hip which continued for over a year despite medication and physiotherapy. Dr. Durana was able to ease my pain and recover my spine and muscles with manual therapy and acupuncture in just 3 sessions. He has been helpful also with stress, losses, depression, headaches, etc. I was deteriorating and loosing attachments to this life. His guidance has helped me mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. Over time that has led me to become healthy and filled with energy for the first time in years and I am looking forward to the new adventures in this life.

Dr. Durana is a combination of the finest therapist, teacher, and coach that I've ever had. From classic cognitive behavioral therapy (be prepared to work hard!) to mindfulness meditation instruction to acupuncture and even boxing, he drew from his extensive array of tools whatever technique would most effectively address the issue of the day. There is no one else in this area (if anywhere) who does what he does, and does it so well.

Dr. Durana is a healer. His very accurate treatment in acupuncture, his skillful massage where it hurts, and his very caring approach alleviates suffering and psychological hurts. Dr. Durana has treated me over the years for a variety of ailments. I always feel that it is much superior to pills and other medical procedures. It is always a pleasure to have a treatment even for what he calls maintenance which can help regain your equilibrium. .

Carlos helped me with a frozen shoulder, using a combination of acupuncture and direct tissue manipulation. He listens well, gives good advice and was able to get me back to normal in just 3 sessions.
