Abby Kessler Center for Acupressure and Acupuncture

ABBY KESSLER is truly a HEALER. Yesterday I could not walk. My right leg would immediately go into spasms if I attempted to put any weight on it. I hadn’t seen ABBY for about 3 years.
I called her and after about 30 minutes of treating me with Acupressure and Acupuncture and then a night’s sleep… THE NEXT MORNING I WAS STANDING AND WALKING WITHOUT A TINGE OF PAIN.
I have had Acupressure and Acupuncture all over the world and from my vast experience of 40 years of treatments I can attest to the fact that this woman is among the best in the world at her specialty.

When I first came to Abby, I was suffering from debilitating fatigue and depression. Through a combination of acupuncture, acupressure and Chinese herbal medicine, Abby has completely changed my life by helping to greatly improve my sleep quality, energy, and mood. Through the whole process, Abby made me feel comfortable and hopeful with her kindness and generosity. Her care and guidance have truly been so valuable to me, and I would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for relief from any kind of suffering.

I’ve been working with Abby Kessler, The Abby Kessler Center for Acupressure and Acupuncture, for over 15 years. With her brilliant diagnostic skills and extensive «tool kit» that includes shiatsu, acupuncture and acupressure, Auriculotherapy, and Chinese herbal medicine, Abby has effectively been my primary care provider. She eliminated my tendinitis in two sessions. With a combination of acupuncture and herbs, she helped me overcome a staph infection in my ear that got much, much worse on antibiotics. She has also helped me deal with SAD, and, after my Dad passed away, boost my energy and mood.
Abby has a very light touch with the acupuncture needles. It always feels like she’s found exactly the right points to treat because they feel sore when she presses on them with her fingers, and then, after she needles them, I feel a release and deep relaxation. (I often end up in a near drooling, semi-​trance.) I always feel after a treatment.
I am a person who takes responsibility for my health and wellness. One of the things that makes Abby extraordinary is that she always takes the time to explain her diagnosis, the possible roots of the conditions and recommended complementary therapies. With Abby, I am actively involved in my own healing and wellness.
Don’t expect a spa-​like setting. Abby’s office is in an old Washington Street office building in Newton, near the Stop & Shop that sits atop the Pike, with metered parking. The building reminds me of something out of a 40’s detective movie. Abby’s small reception area and treatment rooms are clean, warm, but quite simple.

— Abby has come to my rescue numerous times over the past ten or twelve years.
She has preformed wonders. Initially she relieved my back pain. On another occasion she relieved unbearable pain related to an internal intestinal issue.
Abby has eased the pain and suffering associated with several sprains, on several occasions she has erased the discomfort of my torn shoulder rotator cuff.
What is so utterly amazing is that what she does when you are lying on her table feels like almost nothing. Zero pain, zero discomfort and it works.
In addition to her acupressure skills she is a master practitioner of Shiatzu. Also know as Acupressure. Over the many years that I have known her I have recommended to about 12 or 15 friends and relatives. Whenever I happen to meet them at parties or family gatherings they all sing her praises.
When I just now found her listing on Unilocal I was astounded to see her with just one review. However the interesting thing is that there are other 5 star reviews hidden in the filtered section at the very end of her Unilocal page.
— Abby has my highest praise and most enthusiastic recommendation.
