“Health is our greatest resource. Without our health, everything else in life is diminished. Holistic medicine supports all aspects of health: physical, mental/emotional and spiritual. As aDr. of Chinese Medicine and Holistic Health practitioner, I help my clients get back on track with treatments and discussing ways to improve lifestyle and diet. Nutrition and self-care are key to excellent health. Many illnesses can be prevented this way. When there is a disease or pain, I use acupuncture, acupressure, and herbal medicines to stop pain and resolve symptoms while supporting immune health. As a HeartMath Trainer, I also use HeartMath Resiliency techniques and software, to help a person see stress patterns on a screen and experience ways to transform stress into resilient energy for well being. This technology is a direct way to show how stress affects the body by measuring heart rate variability. Being in private practice for 30 years has given me a wealth of resources and experience. Working with Qi, our life force energy, is central to all levels of healing.
QiGong is an exercise practice that regulates the healing power of qi through the body in order to bring balance and effect positive changes.”

Testimonials
“Dr. Gayl Hubatch has been my acupuncturist for 22 years, and I highly recommend her. I am an epileptic, and she has helped me with seizures and side effects of my medications. She has been the doctor who singlehandedly changed my life. Dr. Hubatch is an intelligent, compassionate, kind, and caring doctor, willing to share her insights and knowledge.
After a knee replacement, she helped me with severe pain on my road to recovery. She also diagnosed my gall bladder not working, recommending medical tests which confirmed only a 2% functionality. Those examples only illustrate how her skills have helped me achieve a better quality of life. When necessary, she works in conjunction with my MD doctors to provide me a level of care and insight so many of them do not take the time to understand or provide. Dr. Hubatch has changed my life, and I have never recommended a doctor so highly. ”
“After more than 4 weeks of excruciating pain in my right leg/knee area, a friend recommended I make an appointment with Dr. Gayl. He had gone to see her for the same problem that I was having with my Sciatic nerve and she was able to help him.
I was told by my doctor to keep icing my knee and to continue to take it easy- except for some short walks. The doctor said if things do not improve in a few weeks to come back and they will send me to see a specialist! I was so frustrated with that answer because it had been more than a month since I had been able to run or walk without limping/pain. I was also tired of being in pain and feeling helpless!
…It would take me almost 30 min to walk a mile and 45 for a mile and a half. But after the 1st appointment with Dr. Gayl, I was able to walk more than 3 miles. The longer I walked the better I started to feel. Also that day I walked a mile in 22 minutes not 30! Improvements! Went back a week later for my second appointment with Dr. Gayl. She worked her “magic” and the next day I was able to run 2.5 miles! I had not been able to run in more than 5 weeks!!! I could not believe what was happening! It was a miracle! She is wonderful! Definitely GREAT at what she does! I am so much happier now! I can’t stop talking about how much she has helped me! My recovery has been so much faster thanks to her! Thank God for Dr. Gayl!”

“I heard about Gayl on a radio talk show. My hands were in such pain I could only drive my car using my forefinger and thumb. It would kill me to shake hands with people. Months went by before I finally decided to call. Despite my fear of needles I had to give acupuncture a try. I am now able to snap my fingers easily, the pain is gone and the flexibility is back. Quite a lot of progress. “

“My last treatment helped tremendously. Within 2 days the difference was very noticeable. The redness and soreness reduced and the thickening and swelling less. I also feel like my inner stiches are dissolving. Acupuncture has made a huge difference in my mind and body. I feel better all over. I have less anxiety and am more balanced in my life.”
