Reviews and Success Stories

Great meeting Meagan. Calming environment. She was compassionate knowledgeable I’m looking forward to working with her on severe back pain. Thank you for making a difference

Exceptional customer services and individualized care. I always feel at ease and secure during each visit. I started visits with extreme discomfort in my back, arms and shoulders. Treatment plan has been very successful. I am fortunate to have a caring and dedicated team that works seamlessly to meet your needs. Megan is very attuned in assessing your overall needs. She is never rushed and listens attentively to your feedback and observations. I am on a maintenance plan to sustain my success. After each visit I am relaxed and pain free. I routinely recommend Megan and her team to family and friends
without any reservations.

Another exceptional visit with the team at Centered Meagan’s expertise and bedside manner is evident in each encounter. She is very observant of her patients physically and emotionally. I began treatment several years ago and is now on a maintenance plan. I am currently pain free and very satisfied with the outcomes of my treatment plan. I highly recommend Centered to my family and friends and will be a lifelong patient.

I appreciated all of Maegan’s efforts to reduce my trigeminal nerve pain. She was always very patient, kind, and willing to make adjustments based on reports from me as to what was helping. My pain level went from excruciating to manageable, thus improving the quality of my daily life. She seems to sincerely care about her patients, a rare quality in today’s world!

I recently started acupuncture treatment at Centered: Richmond Acupuncture and Wellness for chronic neck and back pain. From the initial consultation with Maegan Hodge, I felt heard and confident that she could help me. The treatment itself is very relaxing, and Maegan is attentive to my comfort level. I've had a few treatments and I notice the tightness and pain is easing.
I would highly recommend Maegan Hodge at Centered: Richmond Acupuncture and Wellness to anyone seeking acupuncture treatment.

I am thankful for the treatment and knowledge I am receiving here. Life changing support for my health.

I'm so glad I decided to give acupuncture a try to manage my symptoms (other option was exploratory surgery). I was pleasantly surprised to hear that Maegan had treated people with similar issues to my own. She very kindly and patiently worked around my needle phobia until I was comfortable enough to try using the needles and circumvented my dislike of tea by giving me a capsule alternative. After a couple months of weekly treatments and herbs, my pain was a fraction of what it originally was. Highly recommend!

Maegan has been a blessing to me during my treatment. She always starts with a smile as she comes into the room. She will check in with you and how the treatment is going and you are feeling. If I was feeling down she would lift me up. If you need to be treated with acupuncture, you can't go wrong having Meagan treat you.

I’ve had a wonderful experience with Maegan and her team at Centered: Richmond. Maegan listened to my needs and provided feedback in a 100% non-judgmental environment! She also caters each appointment to my needs that day. I feel so much better after each appointment and always look forward to the next!

I was recommended to Maegan when I had tried everything to help alleviate my symptoms on my own and nothing seemed to worked and man, do I wish I would have seen her sooner! From my first consultation, Maegan and the staff made me feel seen and heard and they were eager to help me get to the root causes of my symptoms. Working with this team weekly became the highlight of my week - seriously I looked forward to every appointment not just for the session but because I loved seeing the team. I never felt like I was just another patient, as they truly cared about me as a human and took the time to get to know me outside of my symptoms. Maegan truly changed my life, and my issues that I thought could never be fixed were resolved. I have more joy, and hope and because of them, I was able to get back to living my life and being the best version of myself. If you are on the fence, do it. You will not be disappointed and you’ll thank yourself later!

The staff here is wonderful. They are responsive and caring. Maegan always asks how I'm doing, if I have noticed changes and how effective the treatment is working and she makes adjustments as necessary. I finally have relief from my allergies without the side effects of traditional medications.

Maegan and her staff are caring, kind and always professional. The treatment I received has changed my life in a way that I didn't thInk was achievable.

Maegan and everyone on staff are absolutely amazing!! I felt like I was seen and treated as an individual from the first moment I arrived. It started with the most thorough intake I’ve even done. I left that appointment knowing that I was going to be seen and treated as a person with my own individual struggles and needs. Very different from my usual experience with health professionals. Maegans attention to detail and desire to solve the puzzle of what was really going on with me made me so grateful to have found her. After just a few weeks I began feeling better than I had in over a decade. Myself, my family, and my friends are amazed and overjoyed to have ME back. I recommend Maegan to anyone I know or hear of that has their own personal health struggles. I can’t say enough good things about her and everyone on staff. I have a new lease on life, one I almost lost hope of ever having. Thank you all so very much!

Everyone who works here makes this the most enjoyable experience and so peaceful. I have been receiving acupuncture treatments to relieve muscle tension that has persisted for quite some time and the pain continued to increase. They were able to relieve the continued pain and helping to loosen up the tension. Will continue to receive treatments going forward to keep me in good shape.

Megan is an experienced professional who puts you at ease and addresses all questions or concerns. The staff is great. Sessions are helping me with a chronic problem. If you are new to acupuncture I recommend Centered.

5 stars! I feel that I am listened to.Working together on a plan for ME! Not a one size fits all. Very happy that I found Centered Richmond. So worth the hour drive!

I am so pleased with the practice and the way Dr. Hodge approached my case, as well as the fact that she was able to relieve my pain! She takes time to listen, ask questions, and understand - sadly, that's hard to come by in the medical world. She is also NOT a "one size fits all" kind of practitioner. I was always seen on time, and all the staff are very attentive and do what they can to make you comfortable.

I have suffered from chronic migraines for many years. Meeting Maegan and her wonderful team has been a true blessing. I have taken medications, done many years of physical therapy, massages, had a tens nerve ablation, you name it. Acupuncture has drastically changed my life for the better. Maegan is extremely professional. Her knowledge shines through and her ability to assess and treat amazes me. Our first meeting I was extremely impressed that she will assess if she believes she can help you or not. She does not want to waste your time. I was very appreciative of that, and knew I was in good hands. If you have ever thought, maybe I should try it- JUST DO IT. And come see Maegan Hodge

I visited Maegan and the great folks at Centered for acupuncture and Chinese medicine for several chronic issues. I am happy to report I am feeling much better. I am so thankful for all of their help!

I'm so glad I found Megan and Centered Acupuncture. I had a total knee replacement in 2018 and after a year, still wasn't recovered. The knee remained swollen, stiff, and painful. After just the first session with Megan I had much more freedom of movement in the knee. Now after two months, the knee is just a little tight. I can live with that. Thank you Megan for giving me more relief than the physical therapy did. If any other issues flare up (like my back), I will definitely call Megan first.

I came to Meagan very fit on the outside, but felt like I was falling apart on the inside. I have believed in holistic medicine my entire adult life, and Meagan has been kind, patient and is amazing at listening and treating not only the issues you are aware of, but even those you are not. I truly feel we are not on this Earth to feel sub par, but I have been striving for years to feel my optimal self. After only a few treatments, I am well on my way to feeling the best version of myself. Not only has she re-centered my inner self through acupuncture and herbs, she has improved the mobility and function of my hamstrings that have had nagging issues for well over two years. I am grateful for how in tune with the body Meagan is, and how she can translate everything I say into how she can help heal me. I highly recommend Meagan for both acute and chronic health issues.

Where do I even start with Meagan Hodge and Centered Acupuncture! From my very first visit, I encountered the most thorough, thoughtful, and holistic health history I’ve ever experienced. Maegan listened to everything I had to say and drew connections between symptoms in a way no doctor I’ve been to ever has. She encouraged me to listen to signs my body was saying, and not dismiss them like we are often made to do in Western medicine. Every appointment Maegan has been engaged, is never rushed, and I genuinely felt and know that she cared and was invested in my progress.

I originally went in for a variety of issues, including gastric health, insomnia, chronic headaches, and anxiety. It’s important to understand going in that finding what works for you is a commitment and may involve trying a few herbs that don’t work until she finds the right combination. She will also work with you to figure out a process that works. Taking herbs mixed with water didn’t work for me, so I ended up putting the herbs in vegetarian capsules that I got on Amazon. It does take up a lot of time, but it worked much better for me!

My insurance didn’t cover the treatment, but Maegan worked with me to develop a plan that could fit within my budget. While it was an investment and resulted in my husband and I pulling back expenses elsewhere, to me it was a small price to pay to solve the root of how horrible I felt every day. Maegan has several different payment options to work within your means, and is very clear about the fact that the goal is to get you in a place as quickly as possible where you don’t need to go consistently.

Overall, I cannot recommend Maegan and Centered enough. We would all be so much better off if every health care professional had the openness, intelligence, empathy, and passion that Maegan does for her patients and I’m beyond grateful that I made the investment in myself and my health to work with her.

Maegan was wonderful, always taking the time to listen to the symptoms I was having and asking good questions. I felt very cared for. The treatments were so relaxing and she fine-tuned them as we went along to make sure my issue was being addressed in the best way. I felt 100% better in less time than we had anticipated. I can't recommend her enough!

I am so grateful to have found Centered and Greg Dow. His professional knowledge and skill and his compassionate demeanor are a powerful combination. I have benefited in reduced pain, increased range of motion, elevated mood and general well being.

Meg's approach to acupuncture was new to me. I had extreme tightness in my upper back and neck and so she treated my upper back and neck, in the past I've told acupuncturist about a problem area and they treat the distal end of the issue, literally sometimes working on my feet.

Maegan sits down with you at the beginning of each session to learn and track progress, her bedside manner is kind and professional. You can see the wheels turning as the conversation progresses.

After about 5 sessions my tightness had greatly reduced and I was sleeping well. Both issues I've had ongoing for years. I'm grateful to Maegan and will continue to visit her and refer clients to her.

I went to Greg to treat back and knee related pain I was having. He was very professional and informative, and his treatment plan has worked wonders so far. He has a calming presence and I would highly recommend him as a practitioner.

Centered Accupuncture has made a huge difference in my health, managing pain and inflammation. First rate treatment. Thanks Maegan!
